2nd time using Spartan Moving Systems in 3 years. They work hard, do a good job protecting and wrapping furniture, and are courteous. Value is also good, maybe comparable or slightly lower than others. I would not hesitate to use Humberto and his crew again. read more

The worst experience! STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. Don't fall for their "local, family owned bs." I moved last July, they damaged my (($1200) mattress by their careless employees. These guys dragged my mattress while my stuff was in their storage. (Ripped out the whole side). And they offered me $76.00, like what a joke. When you file a claim, it's another whole story. They don't pickup the phone and when you leave a voicemail, no calls. I called the sales rep and she was started yelling at for calling her for the claim. Just pay professional for the move, don't waste your money on these careless+family owned company! Zero stars read more

Long distance move-out of state, worst experience of our lives. Would give zero stars if I could. UPDATE: we attempted to reason with owner about getting some money back for the services not performed even though we paid for them and were part of contract. He (David K.) took no responsibility for anything, refused to refund any money, and just pushed us to submit a claim form to seek resolution. After this, we double-confirmed with him his insurance only covered damage and not non-performance of services so he caught in yet another deception for pushing us to file a claim doomed to fail before it is even reviewed. DO NOT BE SCAMMED!!! HIGHLY SUGGEST TAKING YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE...THEY WILL JUST GIVE A LOW-BALL QUOTE AND CHARGE DOUBLE ANYWAY SO IT IS WORTH PAYING FOR SOMEONE RESPECTABLE AND HONEST. ALSO SUGGEST CHECK COMPLAINTS WITH CA ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE...GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR MOVE! FULL STORY: This was an absolutely painful and awful experience that is a complete bait-n-switch once they have your stuff. Everything was great on the pickup end with four guys to help move everything and excellent documentation, etc. On the receiving end though is a completely different story. Though we gave plentiful information on the destination and options for getting into the house, an 18-wheeler shows up with just two guys (inc. driver) and absolutely unequipped to handle the amount of stuff and certainly not the piano they charged extra for special handling of. As a matter of fact, they truck driver was unaware if the piano was even on his truck until enough stuff was removed to discover it. All items are stacked to the ceiling of the truck and most boxes are clearly crushed well-beyond anything they were designed to handle. Even though the contract had provisions for things like a smaller vehicle to transfer if the 18-wheeler could not gain access, the truck driver was completely unaware and certainly unprepared to handle this. We ended up having to negotiate with the local police to let us block a major road for many hours to complete the job because there was no other option. Even the quoting process is designed to be a bait-n-switch. They supposedly quote you an estimated weight based on actual inspection of your stuff, but then they charge you a weight minimum far beyond the initial quote so it kind of begs the question of whether or not these folks understand what a quote even is. Why quote anything if you will not charge less than the minimum for 6,500 lbs. Regardless, the "actual weight" (never supported by any documentation and not produced when requested) ends up being MUCH higher than anything estimated or even the minimum so I am not sure even sure which part they are scamming you on from the initial quote to the "actual" weight that comes in double the initial estimate. Worst of all, even though we paid for all these services that were not delivered upon, we ended up having to help with the move of larger items as well as reassemble many things that were broken down by the movers on the ship side and were told they would reassemble, but we had to end up doing because they refused to assemble anything but the largest items (beds, dressers, etc.). Lastly, major damage was caused to items as well as the floors of the new house we are renting since they did not have enough manpower to properly transfer the stuff. So if you go with this company, then prepare to pay at least double what was quoted and do not expect to get your stuff delivered in decent condition by enough people to handle the move on the other end. read more

Spartan Moving Systems - Notice boxes crushed and not stacked efficiently - Movers Near Me - San Jose, California

Movers arrived on time and worked efficiently to move our 2br/1ba across the city. They were careful when packing TVs and a couple other fragile things we couldn't get to ahead of time. One things to be aware of is their price for extra boxes and moving supplies is quite expensive (as was the case with most other moving services). So be sure to go out and get extra boxes and supplies ahead of time (bubble wrap, packing paper, picture boxes, etc). All-in-all had a very positive experience with Spartan Moving and would recommend their moving services to anyone looking. read more

We were beyond pleased with the service and professionalism of Spartan Moving. Some key takeaways - The logistics manager was able to move up our date with a weeks notice. - The crew that was assigned to us showed up on time and worked extremely efficiently. Our 2BD/1BA house was on the truck within 3hrs (we pre-packed all boxes) - The moving truck reached our destination on time. Both the crew and the logistics manager indicated the truck would be slower, so we provided them with sufficient lead time - Prior to leaving, the movers checked with us that all furniture was in the right place and offered to reposition things if necessary This was probably our 4th move but these were by far the best movers we've worked with. read more

We used Spartan Moving Systems for our home move. The team was friendly and cooperative. They showed up on time and finished within the time frame we were given. Nothing went missing. HOWEVER, THEY LEFT NUMEROUS SCRATCHES ON OUR FURNITURE (see example in first picture). I contacted the office and they sent someone to inspect. We showed them the scratches and we were asked if we were certain they did not preexist. Of course we were certain and we showed them a large mark on the wall right next to a bed they assembled (as in the second picture) in our freshly painted new home, as further evidence of the carelessness of their team. In addition, I had watched them unpacking the furniture upon arrival at the new place and I got alarmed by the fact that they were stacking pieces of furniture one on top of the other, without any cushioning or other separation to protect the surfaces. In addition the chairs of the dining set had marks, where one would expect if they were placed one inside the other in the truck! Terrible! So much for the blankets they used.. I suppose this crew did not appreciate that moving a home is not the same as moving a business, where one would hardly care about scratches. After the inspection, we were told we would be contacted soon, as they had to make internal enquires. We heard nothing and had to call them after weeks had passed. In the end we were offered a discount which we did not accept. What we were after was a restoration of our furniture. They then gave us their insurance details and finally, after months had passed, we received from the insurance $246, which we thought was a joke!! Do what with it? Repair which piece? The insurance covers losses by weight, which I now understand is standard practice in the industry. I do not blame the team as much as the management. It would appear that they received no proper training. The crew did not even stop for lunch, which I think is irresponsible from the management. I offered them bananas for quick lunch and plenty of water throughout the day which they appreciated. They got tired in the end and left several boxes, marked for certain rooms, in the garage. We did not mind that. We could move the boxes ourselves. They would still get 5 stars. But the scratches on our furniture is indefensible and unforgiving. 2 Stars read more

I found Spartan from Yelp during our first move from condo in SF to the peninsula. I just re-hired them to do our move in Millbrae. They're very prompt, patient and easy to work with. They're also very honest and discuss with you all the possible additional charges before they start the project so you can anticipate your final bill. At the end of the move they itemize all the charges very clearly. I don't think I'll be moving again but if I do, I'll definitely hire them the third time! read more

Charged over 1000 dollars for a one bedroom apartment move, I moved last year as well and I was charged half of that. Asked them to help me pack the plates and they packed a lot of things that I didn't ask them to pack.. and what was ridiculous was that they even paper wrapped my lint rollers like why would I need that paper wrapped They also messed up the time window they're gonna show up. The guys are polite though! read more

I typically do not post but felt the need because of the lack of service. I allowed them to remedy before posting this negativity Both David (owner) and Ashish spoke over me and talked down to me forcing me to raise my voice. They know how stressful a move can be and did not properly remedy the situation. Because of that, I'm posting my experience. I hate to be so negative publicly but these are facts. They claim they are professional for the past 20 years and do not accept my claim. You cannot argue with facts and with adult several witnesses. They will claim that I didn't read the contract and they will claim that I failed to properly communicate to them. They claim they are not responsible for the Yelp form and that they didn't know I had a 4 bedroom house however the form requires you to input it. They expected me to communicate that again to them by email. They took zero responsibility of their lacking of how to ensure customer satisfaction. The owner offered to deduct 1.5 hours and send a crew to complete assembly but won't move the rest of my items without charging me more money. At this point, it isn't about money but more so the job isn't completed after 12 hours. The owner doesn't care about how I feel because he has 20 years of reputable service and I'm apparently the only one to have ever complained. The movers were unprofessional and came ill prepared to move my house. The truck was simply too small. The men requested to not wear their face mask even though it is the law given the pandemic. I shouldn't have to confront them on this or be put in the position to police them. This creates a health risk that the company doesn't enforce good health practice. They did not keep their distance to myself or my family while not covering their face properly. Three men were small and inadequate to move a full house. The workers lacked experience in disassembly/reassembly. I was told they are professional and could do it all. It is unacceptable to take over one hour to disassemble one bed! When escalated, David said he disagrees that it took one hour. How do you argue facts and that I have witnesses? He wouldn't accept my word as if I'm trying to get over on him. I just want my stuff moved! I was told that I didn't need to unload the dresser and that they could just tape it up and move. I had to unload all the dressers and clothes were left in the closet. I ended up doing a lot of the manual work myself. They took numerous hours to disassemble and did not completely reassembly all of my furniture that was disassembled. They did not secure my items in the truck and we had to notify them to pull over before the stereo fell out of the truck. Instead of unloading and assembling my furniture, 2 men worked on organizing and cleaning their truck. They say it was part of the details that I failed to read. Just for readers to know, you are paying an hour for them to clean and tidy their trucks. I shouldn't have to babysit movers to ensure they weren't screwing around. The movers left all the tape and garbage at my new house which is unacceptable. Other than a couple of yellow dot boxes that I had asked to moved to the garage, the movers placed many red/green labeled boxes in the garage which is the wrong destination. The movers argued with me that the tall dresser wasn't labeled and belonged in the garage. I had to tell them many times to move it to the office and they argued with me. When they remove their padding, you will find two labels (see photos). I shouldn't have to be put in the position to argue with them. My family had to reassembly the dining room table and office table so I can't show pictures of that. I can only show pictures of how they left the backyard. Furthermore, I still have another truck load of stuff that I need to move. The owner refused to send another truck because I asked the movers to stop. The job began after 8am and ended at 8:20pm. Essentially, not only are they unprofessional but the owner is promoting poor labor practice expecting their employees to work beyond 12 hours into the middle of the night. The highlight of it all, when I addressed the situation, Ashish hung up on me. They will claim because I was yelling at them. He was blaming me for everything. They didn't apologize. At the end of the day, it wasn't so much about the money but the fact that it was 12 hours + and the job wasn't done. I should mention, they didn't charge me for a couple of boxes.... but charged me for 13 hours (driving time is doubled) . I rather have paid for the couple of boxes and had a completed job in a reasonable amount of time. My friend moved from SJ to Gilroy with a 3 bed/2 bath and only took 4 hours. If I was wrong in the estimate, the moving company should have quickly remedy the situation and sent a new truck and adequate team. That would have been professional and the right thing to do. Communication is a two way responsibility. read more

Bait and switch, crushed boxes, they charge you extra to deliver your stuff (yes true they hold your stuff for ransom before agreeing to deliver it, they did with mine), they exaggerate on the bid and hide details. Use ANYONE else or get rid of your stuff on CL and move 768 miles away and buy new stuff with the wasted money you paid these a-holes. WHATEVER THEY BID DOUBLE IT AND THEN ADD SOME - then decide if using them is worth it. OK ... yeah ... I thought so .... BAD VALUE read more

half my belongings are gone my tv my books my antiques and the boxes arnt marked no one picks up the phone no one calls back Do not trust these people they are every bad thing you have read about moving companies they are putting me through hell read more

Superior movers!!! They are painfully careful and respectful of your property. For me, half of the stuff they packed up I couldn't care less if it had gotten dinged or whatever, but they took their time on every single thing, taking extra precautions with glass items which felt really good to see. I was most impressed with how efficiently they packed the truck and ultimately what wound up being our POD waiting at our new property. Let's just say that my family owns too much crap and their was no way it was all going to fit in the POD we got, so we prepped the garage to hold the overflow. In the end (with the exception of the stuff that belonged in the garage anyway) they managed to fit everything in the POD. It was a masterclass in Tetris; no minuscule pocket of space from floor to ceiling was wasted. It was kind of unbelievable, but they did it. We'll be enthusiastically hiring them back again to help us unload the POD when the house is ready. My wife and and I have moved a lot over the last several years and honestly all of our experiences have been positive. It goes without saying that Spartan movers were not an exception to this, but I'd go as far as to say they were the best of them all with their attention to detail, and their super hero like spacial awareness and efficiency. read more

This was our second time using Spartan Moving and both times we were happy with the service. Ashish was my point of contact and he was very helpful. The movers were on time, worked fast, and were friendly. I would love to use Spartan again although I really hope I don't have to move again anytime soon LOL read more

This is the 2nd time that I have worked with Spartan and I have been very very pleased with their work. They were efficient, communicative, respectful, showed up on time. Ashish was the point person who scheduled and he always responded by email (even when I had to reschedule the move) I had 2 stops (new house then storage unit) and the movers were well organized. nothing broke, they packed EVERYTHING for me. The price was quoted fairly and appropriate. I had warned them I had fairly heavy furniture and they did a great job with it all. If I ever have to move again, I will definitely be hiring them for a 3rd time! read more

We booked Spartan Moving for our 2 bed/2 bath townhouse move locally in San Jose. I have to say the process was super smooth and easy, they got back to me with a quote within 24 hours, they followed up with me to confirm the details and on the day of, they arrived early at 8am. I could tell that the gentlemen have tons of experience in moving, they rolled out a protection layer on the floor, they packaged all of the furniture, mirrors, and even offered to pack our TV's. They were quick, friendly, and efficient. So glad I booked them and will definitely be doing business with them again in the future! read more

Booked a move through Yelp and after a handful of quotes and interactions went with Spartan. Worked with Miguel, Camilo & Gabriel all very diligent and thoughtful in their work. We have a newborn which made packing challenging so they picked up a lot of the slack. Moving stinks, hate it, but if you're going to do it these are your guys read more

I was amazed at the speed and efficiency of the team. They packed 2 sectionals, a couch, 2 desks, shelves and much more from oir house, into a tiny portion of the truck. They even moved our piano without breaking it, something the previos "piano movers" didn't accomplish. When we got to the new storage unit, despite their skills, i didn't think everything would fit. It did. Very happy with the service. read more

This is the second time we have used Spartan Movers. They are on time, courteous, and reasonably priced with no hidden add-ons. I found the team cared about the work they did. They were very professional and made sure our items were packed appropriately and our furniture was blanket-wrapped. Upon arrival at our new location, they made sure the boxes were put in the appropriate rooms and asked where we would like the furniture located. If you need a recommendation, this is the company for you. I know I will call them again. read more

I just completed an interstate move using Spartan. Needless to say, it was not the best move I had experienced. The pickup people were great. They packed up and moved me out of my 3-bedroom townhouse in 4.5 hours. The issues started on the other side. Due to my house being in the condition I expected, I needed to reschedule the move. I wanted to wait until Thursday, however the person from Spartan stated 'Wednesday would be better for them' and then told me dispatch would give me 2 hours warning. I was told the window in which they would deliver. I didn't receive a call until the truck was a half an hour away. As I stated before, the house was not ready for the delivery. When I got to the house, I had to tell the driver could not accept the shipment at this time. I had been unable to get a call back from Spartan. When Spartan finally called me. they said there would be a $1,200.00 rescheduling fee. i rescheduled the move to Saturday. I then went over the contract and could not find anything in the contract regarding rescheduling fees. I contacted Spartan and was told it was on the 'post contract services form.' I found the cost and asked how was I to know the cost since I never told the amount of cubic feet. The representative stated they don't tell people the cubic feet so they are not surprised. (wrong answer). I asked to speak to a manager regarding this issue. Surprise, no one ever called me back. The movers appeared and would not unload the truck until I had given them the additional $1,200. I let them know they could not move any items into the front bedroom. So instead of sorting the boxes to the correct areas they stacked all the boxes in the dining room. The move also destroyed my desk and they refused to move the couch into the house until my contractor took down a light fixture. Asked what they would have done if the contractor had not been there, they answered 'leave in the front yard.' Needless to say, I won't be hiring them again anytime soon. read more

We used their moving services to move our 4 bed/2 bath home. They sent a 3 person crew who arrived on time, did a great job in carefully loading all of our stuff and moved and set it up in the new place which was about 40 miles away. The movers were very professional and efficient. They were also flexible and accommodating. I will highly recommend their services. read more

We were really happy with their service and would hire them again! The movers were on time, efficient, and courteous. We unfortunately had to move twice this year. And with the same amount of stuff, Spartan movers were way more efficient than the movers we hired last time. Spartan's per hour price was ten dollars higher the movers we hired last time, but they finished much earlier so the total cost ended up way cheaper! read more

Excellent movers from start to finish! Very professional, fast, and efficient. They made the process of moving easier and less stressful. They paid close attention to detail and made sure we were on the same page. Each item was carefully wrapped, especially the fragile ones. The movers communicated throughout the process and arrived when they said they would. Not to mention, their pricing is reasonable! Would highly recommend. read more

Well worth the money. Would definitely hire again. I hired 3 movers for 1 bedroom apartment. They arrived early and the moving truck was more than big enough to accommodate all of my stuff, which was a lot! We had 12 tubs full of records that they moved up 2 flights of stairs. The movers were accommodating, professional and hustled hard. I went a little over the 3 hours minimum but that was expected with the amount of stuff I had. Great job Spartan! read more

I worked with Spartan Moving Systems earlier this week and they were great! Umberto, Juan and Manuel took very good care of my things and me. 4 bedrooms worth of stuff and about 10 hours later, we got it all done! Their positive attitudes and commitment to details was notable; I only had one wine glass that perished which is literally nothing in the big picture. Highly recommend!!! read more

Efficient and professional. We requested a quote on Tuesday and the movers were there on a Saturday. I couldn't be happier with the movers. They packed and loaded our things from our 1 bedroom apartment in no time. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs movers ASAP read more

As expected. The guys were patient and called me around me when they were on their way. They got there and asked me the things needed to take and clarified prices and terms. They helped made moving less stressful. read more

We hired Spartan to move our furniture and belongings from one side of Cambrian to another. On moving day, a team of 3 showed up right on time and quickly emptied out our 3 bedroom house. I noticed they were very careful with handling our stuff, making sure each piece was safely wrapped. They also provided wardrobe boxes for me the shove all my clothes in to transport to my new home. When we arrived at our new home shortly after, the Spartan team were very careful not to damage our newly painted walls and refinished hardwood floors. They laid out protective mats on the floor and stairs. I appreciate their professional attitude and fast paced style, especially in a 90+ degree day. 10/10 would hire them again. read more

I had a great experience with Spartan Moving. I had a local move out of an apartment unit on the third story of an old building, with several large pieces of furniture including a bed and couch. Miguel, Arturo and Geraldo were very professional and efficient. They disassembled my furniture quickly and packed some of the loose items into boxes. All in all, they made my move so much easier and less stressful. The move was quicker than I anticipated and the price was very reasonable. read more

I've used this company twice now and both times had a great experience! They are reliable and worth the price considering everything that's included!! They show up at the window time promised and handle all of your items with care. They will also give recommendations to ensure items aren't broken in transit. They move fast and are very friendly and professional. They re-assembled my table without any issues and never asked/spoke to me about a tip. Oh not to mention we had them make 3 stops before hitting the final destination. With Covid, they ensure they had their face mask on the entire time they're in your home and moving your items. Having this team made our moving day that much less stressful. I'd highly recommend Spartan Moving Company! read more

David (owner), Ashish and team did a fantastic job with my move. I booked 2 trucks (thank God I did) for my local move. 2 days before my move, I called the office to double check. Ashish was not there and the gentleman on the phone told me the standard for local move was 1 truck and he has no record of my ask for 2 trucks. To make matters worse, it was the end of the month and they ran out of trucks. However, he offered to check Ashish's work email. 5 minutes later, he called me and confirmed I was right and they will go rent a truck to move me on Saturday. I was very pleased with the integrity of the company. On moving day, the crew called and showed up Early, which is always great! The move was so efficient and smooth. The team absolutely crushed it. They were methodical and yet moved at a good pace. We moved 30 miles, they wasted no time during the commute. This is my 6th move in 10 years. I've had movers that took forever to travel (heck they charge 2X). I can say with my experience, this team was honest, efficient and did not cheat at all. The big trucks pulled in 3 minutes behind me! I was driving my Tesla! Nothing was damaged during the move. The team even worked with me to move my large sectional and office desks around to make my wife happy! I would definitely use this team again and again! read more

Best movers in the bay I've seen! I found spartan on yelp n was convinced with the stars! Communication was very efficient with David, a great boss as the men say! The guys took their time, packed every piece of furniture with moving blankets. Made sure everything was packed well. Pablo, Mario and Julio were all sweet, made no fuss about anything and accommodated all my needs. We moved from a 2bed - 2level apartment to a 3bed - 3 leveled townhome. It took about 6 hours including transportation. They also made sure to lay mats on stairs, and blankets on railing to avoid banging into it. I wish i took pictures !!! I dont hope to move again any soon but i highly recommend Sparten movers to anyone moving locally or out of state! These guys are highly professional with very reasonable prices!! read more

This is the 2nd time I've used Spartan Moving. I had the same great service this past week as the first time. The coordination and hiring process was super easy. The driver and movers were very professional and hard working. The driver called me 1hr prior to arrival as promised. They did a awesome job. read more

The movers did a good job - nothing was broken or damaged at all during the move and they handled my oversized couch with ease. However, it took them *8* hours to wrap furniture and load and unload my boxes and furniture from the truck. I've moved many times and with three movers working the job it should take more like 3-4 hours in total. They then asked me for $250 per mover for a tip. If I'd given them that much, my move would have cost $2300 which is eye-watering for just a 1 bedroom. Keep in mind I packed nearly everything myself, I only needed Spartan to wrap furniture and larger items like mirrors. If they were packing up my whole house than 8 hours would have been incredibly fast. read more

I had a very good experience with Spartan Moving Systems. The customer service was very good and movers were friendly and receptive to my requests. I would definitely recommend!! read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about this company! From the get go, when we got the quote from ashish and getting a few questions answered these guys to where they moved our huge five bedroom home over two days, it was done with meticulous planning and precision. A big shout out to the folks that made this happen - Moses, Adrian, Jose, Gabrielle and Diego. I had fun working with these guys and would go back and hire them anytime any day. Give these guys a try and, you would not be disappointed. Happy fourth USA! read more

We booked Spartan Moving a month before moving out of the Bay Area. Communication: Excellent and very timely. All logistics were explained well, all questions answered, and confirmation email was very thorough. Moving: We received a call 30 minute prior to their arrival. They arrived early at 8am which worked very well for us. They wrapped our furniture carefully to ensure no damage. The movers were very nice and communicated with us throughout. Rate: For the service we received, the rate was very competitive. Overall: We were happy with Spartan Moving and have recommended them to our family and friends. read more

Awesome moving service. Very efficient and friendly crew! So fast that they had extra time and built our bed headboard. Highly recommend!!

Very happy with the service! I was referred to Spartan Movers from a friend and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others. We hired 3 movers with a truck and they worked very quickly and efficiently. We made sure everything was packed before they arrived and they disassembled and reassembled some of the furniture, as needed to fit in the truck. I was very satisfied in particular with the attention they took with our furniture and hardwood floors: everything was moved with care and when they were done I didn't see damages or scratches. read more

The guys were good about always getting back to me, confirming the move and also letting us know when they were on the way the day of the move. They were efficient with their time and didn't dawdle or screw around which is important since they are paid by the hour. We did a pretty big move in 9 hours with 4 guys. I'm happy to say with everything that moved, we haven't really found anything of consequence that's broken beyond a few plastic tubs we had for storage. They are hard workers, professional and delivered as promised at a good price. read more

I had everything packed up. They came in 3-(people), 1 was finalizing paperwork with me. The other 2 started picking up boxes.. Super efficient, and courteous. I was moving from a bottom apt. to a 3rd floor apt. They were done in 2 hours. I paid for 3 hours, but so worth not having stress. read more
