    We used Smart Moving today after our friends recommended them for our move in the bay area. They were EXCELLENT! It was 2 movers and a huge truck. They were kind, efficient, and took the utmost care for all of our belongings. We will use them again if we move in the future and will recommend them as well!

It was easy to make a moving reservation. The movers were punctual and worked quickly/diligently. They wrapped all items and took care to protect our furniture. They moved us at a good price. I would use them again and recommend them to any friend moving.

    Reliable, efficient, and a good value!…read more We found them by Googling and looking at Yelp, they have very high ratings which I now know why. This was for a one-way move from the Bay Area to Nevada, about a 4+ hour drive. Cost: reasonable and better than some other companies which wanted much much more. Fixed price based on what I described we had to move. I conferred w Nancy via phone, text, email. 4% fee if credit card is used. $200 deposit, can pay by cash/check/Venmo or Zelle. I used a cash app. There's no written contract. Moving day: Last month: movers Bao & Deng, don't speak English but seemed to understand us. Owner/supervisor Nancy came to out house to see, a surprise! Their moving truck was clean. Moved items from house and storage facility. They padded and plastic wrapped bigger items like sofa, dresser, desk, etc. They are efficient and know their stuff - what would've taken me and my family 3-4 hours to move they finished in 30 minutes! Nothing broken, nothing damaged. Payment: $200 cash tip each. $2,100 final payment via Cash App. Reliable, efficient movers, would use them again!

    My experience was the opposite of many of the less positive reviews…read more Planning and scheduling were stellar. Jason answered all of my questions prior to the move and during the move. Their pricing is competitive and more affordable than all of the places I consulted for a mid-distance move. Lee and Yu arrived just as scheduled at 8:30am. They got right to moving, I was blown away by how quickly they mobilized because my old place has a small elevator and not the easiest to maneuver, especially considering I lived on the 3rd floor. Yes, there was expected traffic between destinations, but the unloading at the new destination was just as efficient despite a very long day of moving. The final cost was lower than I expected and there were no surprises from what I was quoted initially. Please tip these guys well - I tipped more than the recommended hourly tip rate. They work hard, carefully, and efficiently. I am recommending them 10/10 to my friends and to the Yelp community.

Communication was a little difficult because of…read morelanguage issues, but the two guys were super professional and capable. 6 hours to load our 20+ mostly large UHaul moving boxes, some quite heavy, and furniture from our packed 2 br/1 bth apartment. Then a 2 hour drive to our location. Unload, put together the beds and other furnitures and done. 11 hours total. Pricing was the best out of 7 that I looked at. Didn't break anything and always had a smile when they had time to look and breath a bit. I recommend these guys 100%!

    Maxim, Ivan and Ivan worked so hard for my move! I was so grateful for how courteous, polite and…read morefriendly they were. They worked really well as a team and did an amazing job. Though my couch wasn't able to fit in my home I was in awe of how much effort they put into trying, lifting it over fences and giving it their best. And no worries guys I had that couch for 15 years and was planning an upgrade anyways. I had a restful night's sleep in my bed at the end of the night because they assembled it and moved everything where it needed to be. / Only one negative - the tape they are given to use by the company doesn't stick so well like the brands I can get at Home Depot. I'd recommend an upgrade on the tape for a quality of life improvement for everyone. Will bookmark this business and use the same for my next move. Might bring a box of my own tape though. To anyone who is moving I recommend buying lunch for your movers when they are done loading the truck. I bought everyone burgers from my favorite place and it re-energized everyone. Thanks again guys!

    A2B handled my move from Berkeley to Portland. The virtual tour for the estimate was smooth and…read moreefficient, and the price was fair compared to other companies - - with no hidden costs. A great advantage was that I had a dedicated truck so that I didn't have to concern myself with delivery being dependent on other loads. Simon and his crew were efficient in loading and unloading and extremely pleasant. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.

What I encountered was end-to-end excellence, from customer service to their excellent moving team. I knew our move would be a large one, so I booked a 26' truck and five-person crew. As the day of the move approached, I had lots of last-minute worries and questions and Sam, in Customer Service, answered every one and generally calmed my nerves, assuring me my move team would assist if we needed last-minute help. On the day of the move, the team arrived right on time. The foreman, Guillermo, assessed our situation and calmly confirmed my suspicious that we'd need two trucks (this my error, not OnTrack's). Before I could panic, he had contacted his team and we arranged that ours be a two day move. Guillermo's team wrapped our furniture and had the truck loaded swiftly. At the new house, we had a few of our family help direct traffic. I'd labelled every box with a color-coded room label and the team got everything to the proper room. On day two, Sammy -- part of the original crew -- acted as lead and we repeated the process. Here, a number of items still needed a bit of packing and his team had everything done in record time and -- bless them - marked the boxes for the proper room destinations without prompting. As I now unpack, I'm finding everything in excellent condition and couldn't be more grateful. We'd heard stories about moving nightmares and wanted to share a happy ending. Guillermo and Sammy were AMAZING and their crews were very hard working. Tips: my sister had a table of bottled waters, bags of chips, and other snacks ready for the team when we arrived at the new house. The team appeared grateful for the sustenance. We also tipped each person individually, in cash.

I asked why when fuel is not being consumed while loading / unloading. The answer that is what we do. Wow, that is strange to charge $13.00 per hour for a truck not using fuel. Additional there is a min 30 min travel time charge which would be an additional $65 for this move. Not using them! This also appears to be illegal in California "Unfair Competition Law (UCL): Charging for a service not rendered (like fuel not used) can be argued as "unfair or deceptive" under California Business and Professions Code § 17200, especially if the surcharge is used as a hidden profit center rather than a cost recovery tool." Below is a reply and here is my response: The information about the fuel fee was presented to be based on a percentage of the total move time. Not your actual cost, which I would have been okay with. I'm not asking for anything to be waived, just transparency. Your remarks about your family are completely out of line. It's clear you want to change the subject from your questionable practice and make this personal. It is not personal. I don't know you other than how you have presented your business here. Very Questionably. I see you removed your statements about your family business. I provided the law that it appears you are not following in a private message. Here it is again: Unfair Competition Law (UCL): Charging for a service not rendered (like fuel not used) can be argued as "unfair or deceptive" under California Business and Professions Code § 17200, especially if the surcharge is used as a hidden profit center rather than a cost recovery tool.

    I'm honestly really upset writing this because moving is already stressful enough, and Friends…read moreMoving Service made it so much worse. The movers handled my belongings far more carelessly than I expected. They were rough with my mattress, which was frustrating to watch because you expect it to be handled with basic care, not dragged around and treated like it doesn't matter. On top of that, my dining table and chairs were damaged during the move, and the shelf on my Traeger was broken. Seeing multiple items damaged during one move was incredibly disappointing and upsetting. What has made the whole experience even worse is what happened afterward. I am still waiting on the insurance claim to be resolved, which has only added more frustration to an already bad situation. Instead of feeling like this was handled professionally and with urgency, the process has felt stressful and drawn out. I also dealt with Vanessa, the owner, and unfortunately, that did not improve the experience. I understand accidents can happen during a move, but when people are trusting you with their furniture and personal belongings, care and accountability matter. Based on my experience, I would not use Friends Moving Service again.

    Friend's Moving Service was highly recommended to me by a friend. She and several of her friends…read morehad used them before. They're located in the Bay Area. They quoted me $100/hour for two movers with a 3 hour minimum and $50 gas. (Cash price.) There was some slight confusion on the website. When they say number of rooms they don't mean just bedrooms. They are counting living room and kitchen etc. We ended up adding another mover per Tony's suggestion. A side note is I am located more in the North Bay. They are based somewhere around Sunnyvale. So day of the move they were running late. I called Tony after 30-45 minutes past the expected arrival time and he let me know they were on the way but had hit some traffic. That's understandable. These movers are masters of real life Tetris! They crammed everything from a four bedroom house into one truck trip! They were very careful about wrapping up furniture with blankets and moving wrap. Nothing was damaged! They were very communicative about where to unload the large pieces of furniture in the new house. The only qualm I had was they nearly let my dogs escape from the yard multiple times and seemed amused and laughed at my panicked reaction. I had quarantined the dogs in the yard/master bedroom. But they opened the doors to move things through the yard and had the yard gate, sliding doors, and front door all open. (That could have been preventable from my end by having a friend watch the dogs at another location. But my friend and I thought that was very rude...) All in all it's a great value and they get the job done quickly. What would have taken us the entire weekend only took them the late morning to the afternoon. First time using professional movers and I'd say it's well worth the cost!
