I never in a thousand years would have think myself giving a 5 star to moving company on yelp because i had given up on the idea of ever finding a reputable moving company. I have had a lot of bad experiences and I've heard a lot of horror stories. To say I was skeptic about the moving industry is putting it lightly. however, Royal Moving Company is actually one of the good ones and they truly do deserve the high marks that they have on Yelp! We have moved house a lot of times and our experience with Royal Moving was by far the best move we have ever had. We just moved into a 5,500 sq. ft. home in Los Angeles and we have a lot of stuff. This was undoubtedly our biggest move ever and we were very stressed about it. any time you move you must anticipate some damage. a few things will break or get scratched, that is unavoidable. However, we were absolutely shocked at how little was broken when we moved with Royal Moving Company. Honestly, I can count on 1 hand the items that broke during this move and they were just nick nacks, nothing or major importance. Far more important was how Royal Moving Company handled the broken items. We never felt that they were nickel and diming us. They never argued with us or nitpicked over whether or not they had packed the items or we had packed them ( we packed about 40-45% of our stuff). They just helped us replace/repair the broken items and that was that. It was clear that Royal Moving Company just wanted us to have the best move possible and that was always their top priority. On moving day our house was filled to the brim with guys and they all did a great job packing up our stuff. It was a huge job and these guys worked hard. They were very professional and even brought us coffee in the morning and some take out after they returned from their short lunch break. Our movers literally fed us! We were only separated from our items for 24 hours and the Royal Moving Company crew kept us updated as to where our truck was throughout its journey from OC to LA. It was very clear that that truck full of everything we owned was treated with great care from start to finish.... as if the moving professional were moving their own stuff. In previous moves we have had most of our furniture scratched and / or dented, but NOT with Royal Moving Company. Everything arrived in pristine condition- not a single scratch on any piece of furniture- we couldn't believe it! These guys wrap everything meticulously with thick blankets , they use the appropriate amount of packing material, and they pack your belongings carefully into that truck. They do not take shortcuts , they do not use cheap materials to cut cost - Royal Moving Company clearly cares about the outcome and values customer satisfaction above all! Our movers were efficient, friendly and professional- a real breath of fresh air during a very stressful time for us. Let's face it, moving is really hard. It's ranked one of the top stressors in life... right up there with birth of a child or divorce. Even when a move goes really well, it's still stressful. I cannot even imagine where we would have been without Royal Moving. This company literally took over the transit of everything we owned and made it so smooth and so streamlined so that we could focus all of our energy on moving the people , animals , and plants that make our house a home. Me and my Wife love Royal Moving and they have completely changed our attitudes about moving companies. Yes , there is still at least ONE ethical , trustworthy moving company out there and that is Royal Moving! I wholeheartedly recommend Royal Moving for any and all of your moving needs. They will give you a fair price and you can trust them. This is a family owned company and they really love people. They are friendly , efficient, professional and they really care about you and of all of your stuff. Go Royal !!! read more

I could not have asked for a better experience. I recommend this company to anyone. I filled in an online form to try to find a mover on short notice. Within 5 minutes of filling in the web form, Royal Moving called me, asked a few questions about the volume of the move, and was able to slot me in on my preferred day (which was only three days in the future). Very nice and efficient. I fielded 5 quotes total that day. Royal Moving was not the least expensive, but all quotes were within $10/hour, and the cheapest were hiding costs in things like "materials used" and "truck fees" and extra costs to move big appliances. Ultimately, I don't think my end costs were that much more. I got a slot for a Saturday between 2-5pm. I got confirmation text messages after booking, the day before the move, the day of the move, and just before the time slot, all updating me to the progress of when I could expect the truck. The truck arrived at 2:30. Delightful! The three men that arrived walked through the house and we talked about what was moving and what wasn't. Then we went outside and before they started moving anything, they went over the cost structure with me again. I'm not a big fan of redundancy for things I know, but from a business perspective, it was nice to hear the movers explain the costs exactly the same as the dispatcher did. And it gave me assurances about the lack of hidden fees. Generally, an excellent step when dealing with the general public that can be too stressed to be paying attention. Then these three young men went to work. With a purpose. At no point was there standing around talking or doing anything that wasn't directly involved with getting the move done. All furniture was wrapped up. All surfaces that could have been scratched were wrapped in something. Bigger tables and cabinets were wrapped, then had a blanket covering, then wrapped again. There was no "screwing around" that you might fear in these hourly rate kind of deals. They were moving like they wanted this move done with as much as I did, and I felt like the best thing I could do was get out of their way and let them work. It took three hours to fully wrap and load a big two bedroom house with a lot of big heavy furniture. There was a one hour drive. Exactly what it would take me. Again, here is a place where I might fear someone would pad their hours (because I'm maybe not the most trusting person), but no. The truck arrived to the right place on time. Two hours later, the truck was unpacked, the furniture was unwrapped, all of the shrink wrap used was collected as they worked and disposed of. They helped move furniture as we relocated things around the house, and were pleasant and professional the whole time. Then we went over the costs, hour by hour to ensure I understood the bill. Again, it is a nice touch for customers who want assurances that the guys did what they said they were going to do and that the costs aligned with that expectation.Ultimately I paid less than I projected (about 70% actually), and half what my brother did for a similar move three weeks earlier. Payment was easy. Working with Royal Moving and the three men that actually did the move particularly was a far better experience than I was anticipating.Can not recommend strongly enough. read more

Great first experience with this company. Ryan contacted me within 10 minutes of requesting a quote and explained the different price options clearly. They were available on a holiday weekend and were flexible with my reservation as I was still finalizing my move-in date. Ryan was also responsive to my texts with questions leading up to the date. Note that you can pay cash for a slightly cheaper rate. They charge hourly, not a flat rate. They also accept card for a % fee. Pricing-wise, I can say that the hourly quote was accurate, but the total time was more than I expected (this was also my first 2-bed move). Granted, I was never quoted an exact number of hours, only that there was a 3 hour minimum. I would recommend getting on a video call to walk through your stuff & home layout so that you can get an actual time estimate. Especially if you are paying cash so that you have enough on hand. Our 2 bedroom took about 6 hours from start to finish, but we also had some external factors that increased the time (long distance from apt to truck in the first location, apt staff delays in the second location). None of this was related to the moving team at all - they were awesome. Alex, Ai-Khaan, and team were quick and organized with their moving. They wrapped all furniture, TVs, and other larger items, so well in fact, that I could barely get the wrapping off at the new place. I appreciate the extra step to protect our belongings, even just for a local move. They were so efficient and quiet with everything that I didn't even notice when they moved our two bed frames and mattresses. They also let me borrow wardrobe boxes for free which definitely came in handy. I couldn't be happier with the crew that was there. They moved our 2 bedroom better than anything we could have done ourselves. All fragile items that we have unpacked so far are in perfect shape. Moving is already such a stressful time, so I really appreciate how careful and methodical they were with our stuff. It was one less thing to worry about with so many other things going on that day. Would highly recommend Alex & Ai-Khaan's team to anybody who needs reliable and hardworking movers to handle their belongings with care. Thanks so much for your help and peace of mind during the move! We couldn't have done it without you read more

When companies get insanely good Yelp reviews, I always wonder whether I should believe the hype. Trust me though - you can believe it with these guys. Huge shout out to Konstantine and his crew - this team are as good as it gets. They just moved me across Santa Monica and amazed me with how professional, personable and efficient they were. They texted me in the morning letting me know the exact time when they would turn up - and then arrived at that same time. I walked Konstantine around the apartment as his team prepared the truck and packing materials. Then they got moving and I was frankly blown away by how quickly they managed to get everything wrapped and loaded. We got the apartment empty in no time and we even had time to load everything in the garage, which I was not expecting. Unloading was equally smooth and the guys managed to get everything where we needed it without any additional dismantling (which again, I was not expecting). They quoted me 3 hours on the phone and the timer was stopped at 3 hour 15 minutes. In hindsight, that was pretty unbelievable considering the amount of stuff they moved. These guys hit the perfect balance between getting the job done efficiently and quickly while handling all our possessions more carefully than I would have! I've never seen heavy furniture moved around so carefully before. From the moment they started I knew nothing would get damaged. There are probably companies out there that could shave a few bucks off the price, but for me, Royal Moving was worth every dollar. I feel like they charge an average price for a way-above-average service, which means great value for money. They have this process down to a fine art and I knew I was in safe hands from the start. I guarantee you can remove y a very large percentage of the stress of moving by using Royal Moving Co. I would strongly recommend these guys to anyone. read more

I reached out to several highly rated companies in the area and Royal Moving Company was the only one to quickly respond to my quote requests. I needed to move things from a 3rd floor apartment to a first floor apartment and was told I would need to 3 movers and be required to pay for a 4 hour minimum rate. When I explained to Hank, their business manager, that I really only needed movers to prioritize moving the big items (fridge, sofa, bed, desk, tv + stand), he gave me a discount and offered me the week day rate with only a 3 hour minimum. I decided to go with two movers and was assigned Anser and Tolik. I received a text two days before the move to confirm the details and received a call from Anser 30 minutes before arrival. When they arrived onsite, Anser was hesitant about whether or not they would be able to move all our big items in 3 hours since our elevator was too small to fit most of the bulky pieces, but told me he would try his best. He and Tolik made sure to shrink wrap and use moving blankets on all our furniture to prevent damage, and used a pulley system to quickly move items from our 3rd floor balcony to the ground floor. I was worried that we might need to pay for a 4th hour, but Anser and Tolik managed to move all the big items plus 6 large boxes in just about 2 hours. Our new apartment is at the end of the block so they were able to unload, re-assemble furniture and handle final payment and paperwork with 10 minutes to spare! I would highly recommend Royal Moving Company and would suggest you ask for Anser and Tolik when booking your move. *Make sure you have cash for payment AND tip. You save 10% if you pay by cash. read more

Hello everyone, I am not usually a review person but in this case I felt like I need to let everybody know what a great experience I had with this company. I lived in my previous place for three years and had to move to a different city for work purposes. When time came for me to move I realized that I have a lot of furniture and important things I need to take with me to my new place. I am very particular about my home decor and things that make my house feel like home so before I actually hired a company to help me move I did my homework and checked almost each company in the area for the peace of mind. Long story short...Royal Moving has everything what it takes to be called "Royal". From the moment I called to get a price quote to the moment my stuff arrived at the new place. This guys are trained to perform the best job ever. They were so careful with my furniture like it was theirs. From my bed to every single souvenir and framed picture on the wall. Tolik, Vadim, Victor and Dorin. This guys are amazing, super professional and friendly in the same time. From the very begining they made me feel like I can trust this people with all my home goods. They packed and unpacked everything, disassembled and assembled my bedroom set and all my living room furniture, my kitchen utensils. Not a single scratch on anything. Great team work. I definitely recommend Royal Moving to people that are in need to move and expect the best costumer experience and satisfaction at an affordable price. Thank you Royal Moving for making my moving process a pleasure. If I ever need to move again I know were to call! read more

Miras and Egor were simply amazing. It didn't take very long into my move to realize I made the perfect choice on moving companies. They arrived on the early end of the time window the company provided me, found my notoriously difficult-to-find place, and smartly parked right next to the garage where they knew they would be moving my stuff out through. Both were friendly and easy to talk to, spoke fluent English, took directions easily, and got right to work. We were able to joke and keep things positive during a normally very stressful time for many people. They handled some pretty difficult and heavy furniture in some small spaces, and were extremely careful with every belonging they handled. I asked them to make two stops to drop off some things in storage along the way, as well as donate some large furniture to the Salvation Army. Despite being in the middle of rush hour, they were fast, efficient, knew where everything they packed was located, and I couldn't be more pleased. Miras and Egor were a pleasure to work with and deserved every dollar I paid, as well as the large tip I provided for all their hard work and sweat they put into my 5-6 hour marathon move. I had some fragile glass and dishware that I was worried to unpack after I left due to my own rushing to get everything packed away prior to the move, but to my delight everything looked perfect, nothing broke, and they took the time to setup all my furniture perfectly in my new place! Money well spent as far as I'm concerned. I'd highly recommend Royal Moving Co to everyone, and if you're smart you'll ask for Miras and Egor! read more

We were long term clients of this company. My family used their services 4 times before and they did a pretty good job (of course there were small issues but that's understandable). This time we've asked for a really good team as we thought we had established relationships with this company. What we've got was a terrible experience and seems like it was like a third time for the movers to do the job. They probably are nice people but as a professionals.... It took them 10 hours to move a 2 bedroom! They were really really slow. Besides, they damaged some of our things. It happened that the next day we needed to move our staff to another place, and we were hesitant to call this company again but decided to give them another shot. 80% of our things were still packed and ready to go so the job seemed easy. Ugh it took them another 8 hours! Sooo slow. We still gave them tips and decided just to forget this experience... But now when we unpacked our belongings we found out that more staff was damaged. We had a duffle bag with electronics and asked to be careful with it. Well the screen of the computer was damaged and now it is not working. We called the company and they promised to resolve this issue somehow. I believe that after spending 2k on 2 moves we deserve some type of reimbursement. They promised to call us back but still haven't done so. This was the last straw. Cmon guys that's not how you should do business! The quality of their services really went down I guess. I do not recommend this company to anyone. read more

Let me save you some time and money. Use only Royal Moving Company. We have properties around LA County and in Palm Springs. For the last 10 apartments, we only hire Royal. No more hustle with lateness, billing, slow pace, attitudes. It's not a nightmare anymore. It is a pleasure to see how these crews are doing business. You are not stressed-out anymore, the pace is good, the way how they wrap the furniture and handle all that moving. They have a few different crews and our favorite is Arthur and Anthony. Arthur is patient, easy communication with him, really well organized, follows instructions and Anthony is so far the best driver. He could go up to ramps with their big truck where others didn't even try. You can absolutely trust them. We constantly need movers and they are our favorite crew. The others are good too, but with Arthur, it's absolute trust. He moved yesterday FOUR 2 bedroom apartments that we had. The total of his crew was 4 and he managed that. And each piece of furniture in each apartment had instructions in which truck will go and in which other units will go. It was complicated from the beginning what we were pulling off yesterday, but thanks to Arthur and Anthony and the other 2 guys, all went super smoothly. If you have to move, just hire these guys. They are worth every dollar and every single moment that you don't have to pull and push and carry heavy things it's absolutely worth it. No need to push yourself just to save few hundred dollars, you just plan, sit and watch. read more
