Do not recommend. I would not hire this company again and I strongly advise against using them through HireAHelper. They arrived 2.5 hours late, despite a confirmed start time. I was told four movers would be assigned, but only three showed up. From the start, I clearly explained which items were fragile and needed to be wrapped and secured carefully. Despite this, I repeatedly caught them loading furniture without any wrapping or protection. One of my expensive tables was dropped because a mover attempted to lift it alone instead of asking for help. Another mover was about to load the table legs into the truck without wrapping them at all, and I had to intervene and ask another worker to correct it. The entire process felt careless and disorganized. To make matters worse, after loading the truck, they left items behind. Please see the text message screenshot in this review where I asked them to return and load them intro the truck. I called Speed loaders the next day to get them to come back and the lady wouldn't pick up my phone. I had to go through HireAHelper and they wouldn't guarantee that they would return and wouldn't help in any way. They also charged me incorrectly for time. When I questioned it, I was told it would "be rounded up anyway," which felt dishonest and unprofessional. When my belongings arrived at my new destination, the movers I hired there were shocked by how poorly everything had been packed and loaded. Fragile and high-value items were not protected, were loaded last, stacked improperly, and placed without regard for weight distribution. As a result, I discovered significant damage upon unloading, including shattered mirrors, broken marble furniture, a completely destroyed TV screen, bent metal furniture, and damage to a new bicycle. Several items were beyond repair, and others require professional restoration. The aftermath has been exhausting and costly. I lost expensive furniture, spent significant time documenting damage, and incurred serious financial loss. Despite nearly $5,000 in damages, HireAHelper and SpeedLoaders are offering only $193 in reimbursement. Overall, this was a stressful and unacceptable experience from start to finish. I will be pursuing further legal action to seek proper reimbursement, and I strongly encourage others to look elsewhere. read more

Speed Loaders - Movers Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I was referred to speed loaders through PODS and they were FANTASTIC. I hired 2 movers and they sent 4, which was AMAZING. They were polite, professional thoughtful and were able to get ALL of my belongings into the POD which was PURE magic in my eyes, I still have NO CLUE how they pulled it off!! It was Prentise and his crew. 10/10, 5 stars, they did an AMAZING job!!! I am so VERY thankful!!! read more

Speed Loaders rocks! One of my best decisions was to hire this professional moving and labor company to manage our move. Indeed, they were professional and took extreme care in handling, packing, and moving our precious belongings. Shantel is exceptional in communicating with me before, during, and after the move. She is truly knowledgeable and thoughtful about all we have been going through, downsizing our life, and moving long distance. It was truly helpful to have her kindness and thoughtful ideas and suggestions. Her crew headed up by Prentis the quality control manager, operated with such PRECISION and SKILL, it was such an amazing thing to watch. Moving is so stressful with lots of moving parts. It is a BEAUTIFUL THING to have seasoned professionals' knowledge, skills, and sage advice to get you through it! It was worth every dollar, money well spent. Thank you, Speed Loaders! Happy New Year! read more

They did a great job with moving all the requested furniture. They wrapped fantastic. The only issue I have is that you need to watch them. I had two Ring Cameras sitting on the floor that are missing. Later that day, I got an email the stated someone was trying to activate one of the ring cameras on an account. I was asked if I gave that camera away. These two movers were the only ones in the condo unsupervised. Just keep an eye when they are working. I figured whoever took the cameras needed it more then I did and these cameras are now we useless. 1/30/2024 Update on this service, Star rating lowered, The owner contacted me and stated the cameras were taken in error. After reviewing the video, it clearly shows the owner removing and disconnecting the camera. They state the cameras accidentally ended up in their tool bag. These cameras were in two locations in the house and clearly were there monitoring activities. The owner stated that there was a misunderstanding and they clearly have no idea how they got in their tool bag. I am sorry, I have to call them out on this. They knew what they were doing, They stole my two RING cameras and then tried to activate them on their own account. The company does not take responsibility for their own actions and I will not recommend speed loaders. Yes, the owner is shipping the cameras back but the action of taking them from the house without permission cannot be forgiven. They are thieves and you should not hire them. If you happen to hire this company, watch them like a hawk. How do I know if they stole anything else out of the house? read more

Today, I had the most horrible experience using this company, that was sent to me as a sub contractor for loading a container to be sent overseas. The moving coordinator neglected to tell me I was supposed to provide blankets and covers. They came with nothing. Damaged personal property, and caused numerous damages to the place I am renting, and I will have to vacate the first of next month. The were slow, and lazy. One bin particular. First thing he did when they arrived was to plug in his phone, and started texting. His phone kept going off all day. They kept taking breaks, and when I complained about the damages, their quality assurance guy showed up, and they stopped working, and started arguing with me for the damages they caused . Repairs to the damages were never made!!!!! According to the manager here a person was in contact with me to make the repairs! A person did in fact call, and said, " I will be at your house in 20 minuets to fix the damages". I responded that we cannot a range for the repairs in such short notice, since I had already another moving crew working in the house at that time. The person agree to call back and schedule time for yesterday Thursday, March 28 for the afternoon. They NEVER called or came to fix the damages. All I get from Chantel their person of contact is yelling. read more

Shantel, Pretis, and Caesar were fabulous to work with - super reliable and genuinely helpful. Would highly recommend Speed Loaders!

Was highly impressed at how well they packed our things and thought the two gentlemen that packed and wrapped our furniture did a great job. When we finished all our packing for the day we went to look for our Ring cameras to reconnect them. My brother posted a review to hire a helper.com stating the two gentlemen were the only two left unsupervised in our parents home. Shortly after leaving the review he gets a return message that states: "We are so sorry. This was an error. They were found in or near our toolbox. No body question it. I have both cameras. Prentis is reaching out to get them back to you." After seeing this I checked the camera history where it clearly shows one of the movers disconnecting it after stating this is sweet, rolls up the cord as the camera is still rolling then disconnects it. How is a camera left by or in a tool bag when there is clear evidence of your mover disconnecting it on camera. Not to mention the second camera was in a box in a separate room. So now they are sending the cameras back to my brother but continue to lie about how they got them and taking zero accountability!! Not to mention placing the blame on us because we were giving things away. How do we as a customer come back from this with a feeling of security that nothing else was stolen that we just are not aware of at this point. DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE PEOPLE and if you hire them watch them at all times. In response to business owners response: it is of little comfort as I am the customer as well my brother and myself paid for your movers to come into our parents home. I truly have a hard time understanding why you cannot take responsibility. Stuff that was being given away was stuff OUTSIDE the house and it was large furniture not cameras that were packed and still connected. Is it really that difficult to just say "you were wrong and take accountability for your actions" it's hard to forgive when it is continued to be stated "they didn't know". There is video footage of them doing it. read more

HIRE AT YOUR OWN RISK On 1/26/24 two movers from speed loaders came to an Oceanside CA. residence, were there for approx. 2 hours we had thought they both did a phenomenal job until we discovered they had decided to help themselves to two ring cameras located inside the home. One camera was already disconnected in the living room placed in a box with other items, the other camera located in the kitchen was disconnected by one of the movers (we have footage) both cameras were noticed missing a few hours after the movers left. Upon checking on the ring app it was noticed that one of the cameras had tried to be connected. That same day, a review for the company was left on hireahelper.com regarding the cameras, the company had replied, The company took zero responsibility in the reply to the review saying it was "an error" and they were "found in or near their toolbox" then said "no one questioned it" as in blaming us for their employee(s) stealing the cameras. When we spoke to one of the movers via phone that was at our residence, he completely denied at first but then stated "the other guy I was with took them" which contradicts the response received from the review. The cameras are now being sent back to us however this incident should have never happened, we paid for people to come into our home only for them to steal items they were meant to pack. The cameras being returned is of little comfort as the trust is now broken and we are waiting for the shipping containers to arrive to see if anything else has been stolen. The companies website www.speedloaders-movinglabor.com/ is non existent however movinglabor.com is accessible and it states on their website under license-insurance that "MovingLabor.com will only approve a moving company that has met our requirements and passed our screening process." and "The mover has passed a thorough background check conducted by our trusted vendor. Our background check includes these databases: Sex offender Global watchlist (terrorism) National criminal database (includes felony and misdemeanor) Address history SSN verification County criminal check (based on their current county of residence)." Neither of the two movers at our residence that day should be allowed in people's homes to do this again. read more

We hired this supposed "professional" packing company to pack our home for a cross country move. Believing them to be what they claimed we assumed that our belongings where being carefully packed, not the case. Upon unpacking we discovered that many of our most delicate items ( big screen TV and leather sectional sofa) where virtually unprotected and as a result heavily damaged or ruined. Upon filing a claim with them the response was that their liability ended when the truck door closed and that a waiver to that end had been signed. This matter will now be litigated. I urge you not to use this service unless you are packing rag dolls and don't care what condition they arrive in read more

The gentlemen Prentice and Isiac who assisted us were absolutely fantastic. Very prompt, professional, personable, and worked very hard. Amazing packing skills! You can tell they have a great deal of experience. We greatly appreciate all their hard work. Thank you as well to the wonderful Chantelle who handles their phones. We will definitely be calling in the future for any needs. A+ TEAM read more

The 4 guys that came were great, they were on time and got the job done fast. The only problem was a misunderstanding on the cost, when I called my phone call was handed off to one of the movers who was helping out in the office and didn't know the extra costs for same day or out of the county moves, and when they showed up the cost was 50% more than what we had told me. 3 hour minimum instead of 2. But after I put that on my initial review, they refunded the extra cost and contacted me to let me know. I was a little upset the day of the move after they left because of the extra cost, but it was a misunderstanding that was resolved quickly. And again, the workers who showed up were on time, ready to work, fast and damaged nothing! I would use them again! read more

Two movers from Speed Loaders helped me move from a three bedroom house to a one bedroom apartment on February 8, 2014. The two movers were TJ and another guy who's name I do not recall at this time. The movers were polite, and worked hard. I originally booked time for three hours, the move took 5 hours and they were able to accommodate it. At the end of the move, it became clear that my laptop was stolen, in it's case, with the cords, mouse, and accessories. I called Speed Loaders and spoke to Chantell, who said that they do background checks and that this has never happened before and I needed to file a police report. On February 18, 2014 TJ called me. I was very upset that he got my phone number. Very rude on the phone saying that he could not have stolen it because I was with him. Very unprofessional to have one of the suspected thieves call me at my personal number rather than management call me. Was told file a police report and they would take lie detector tests. Police said that since I did not see which one took it, there was nothing that they could do. I am now out the cost of a laptop that was less than 2 months old, a brand new Internet Security disc, ethernet cable, wireless mouse, and mouse pad. An expensive lesson about not to trust Speed Loaders. I do not recommend this company to anyone. read more

Guys did a great job. I will definitely never load my own stuff ever again. Gabriel was the lead and he expertly squeezed all my stuff into a 17' truck on one trip. I know that what they did in 4 hours would have taken me 8+ because I would have done 2 or 3 trips. plus I would be dead tired and my friends would probably never answer my call or text again. Thanks again Speed Loaders. read more

These movers are the BEST! Let me first start off with Shantelle. She made the set up so easy when I called. Very easy to talk to and schedule. I felt like I was talking to a long time friend. Very accommodating! I got two movers Anthony and Thomas who were super cool and did the job so well! I had nervous bugs at first on how the move was going to go the day of and once Anthony and Thomas got it going the nervous bugs were gone!! They are indeed their name Speed Loaders as the job was done in 3 hours! I couldn't be more glad and thankful that I chose Speed Loaders! Great down to earth people! I would recommend them to everyone who wants a non stressful move! THANK YOU SO MUCH SPEED LOADERS!!!!!! read more

Carlos and Thomas did a fabulous job moving all our furniture from an upstairs apartment. They were quick, professional and courteous. Both men work very well together and got the job done in a very timely manor! read more

I feel like this may be the longest review ever written, but this Company deserves every accolade possible. They were the best I have EVER had and believe me, I am somewhat of an expert, having moved probably 50 times. Angel and Chris were right on time, and they were what I could only call AMAZING. They were calm, professional, easy with me - ( I was still packing when they arrived ) They took kid-gloves care of every stick of my furniture, most of which are antiques. They bounded up and down two flights of stairs and made great use of time. They packed my UHaul like consummate professionals, and made it all fit like a puzzle. I could have used the larger truck, but they made it all work like it was no big deal. They followed us to our unloading destination 25 miles away and unloaded just as perfectly and professionally as they loaded. It was really a sight to behold!!! And let's not forget Chantelle in the office. She was so thorough, kind, and calm - actually understanding what I was going thru with this move... She talked me through it with gentle kindness from my first call to my last. I probably treated her like she was my therapist, and she didn't mind one bit. She UNDERSTANDS how tough this stuff can be. She takes the TIME to work with people, no matter their level of distress and confusion. And last but certainly not least; pricing. They are the most reasonable out there, hands down. I had a two pronged move, (load and unload) and they traveled 25 miles - from Del Mar to Coronado. As a comparison, my last movers took me 9 blocks, and load and unload cost the SAME. Unreal. No reason to go anywhere else but Speed Loaders, ever! They bring 100% - In every area of the experience. If ever I have the opportunity to recommend a moving company or need to use one again, (Heaven forbid!) Speed Loaders are my guys, all the way. I can't possibly say enough about them, but I will recommend them to everyone I know that moves - and I live in a Military Community :) - and shout their praises from the rooftops. Thank you Chris, Angel, Chantelle, and Speed Loaders for making my moving day a total success and making it feel like a breeze! :) Susan read more

Excellent family business. Best experience I have had. I have Lived and moved from MT,TX,FL,WA,AZ and now CA. These guys were better than any. Fast professional and caring. They work hard and do everything they can to accommodate their customers. read more

These movers are great! Alex and Roberto got the job done and my parents were very happy and relieved to have their things moved all in a few hours. They are very hard workers and got their furniture placed just like my parents wanted and they are also very nice gentlemen. Shantall (who coordinated everything) is the sweetest person and will make sure the job is done. I will likely have another move myself in a year and will be calling them again for help. Thank you for everything! read more

Let me start by saying I've never hired speed loaders, BUT, they leave their business cards everywhere! On residences front doors, on people's car windows, littering parking lots, etc. It's irritating and irresponsible. I have to pick them up off the ground in my parking lot at least once a month, and for this reason, I'll never consider using their business. Speed loaders, please consider the environmental impact, as well as the irritating nature of this type of marketing. read more

These people are great! I had a 14' trailer FULL to the brim and a house needing to be loaded... Chris and Will showed up a few minutes early; immediately understood what needed to be unloaded to where and what needed to be loaded onto the trailer. The formulated (in their minds) a plan to move/remove items from within the house/trailer and set out to accomplish it. It took about 2 hours to completely unload and reload the trailer including placing the incoming furniture exactly where my wife wanted it AND professionally wrapping and securing things into the trailer. They are very polite, professional and efficient. I highly recommend them! Thanks Speed Loaders! read more

Well they were fast alright. When we made it to our destination we could not find the box with the nuts, bolts, legs to put, (what was left) of our furniture back together. When I called them 4 times about it I kept getting the run around, first I was told they were tapped to the object they came from, then I was told they didn't know who did the job, (lets try the owners son was on the job and started the box), When I finally called Hire a Helper they said they handed the box to me. LIARS!!! Boxes marked breakable glasses, plates, china, were smashed down, broken open. some of the china and glass wear made it but a lot didn't. We were told to go and get some more blankets so they could protect the furniture and other breakables. When we unloaded furniture was deeply scratched, legs were broken, an antique wood elephant had a big chunk taken out of my antique wood elephant. Even my one year old mattress has holes in it. I am so mad, even the guys from Odds and Ends who unloaded the stuff at my new house were shocked at the shoddy work. Used them at your own risk. read more

These guys are the BEST movers in San Diego! Showed up right on time, moved us out of our three bedroom apartment rapidly and were super professional and courteous. They took great care with our things. Both guys had great personalities, too! They joked and laughed with us and actually made our job fun! Here's where it gets really good; I was loading my car with boxes & a tow truck showed up while I was upstairs,put my car up on skids- the speed loader guys talked the tow truck driver out of towing my car! You can't hire anyone better in San Diego County. read more

Today we had Speed Loaders help us with our move. The two gentlemen, Alex & Chris, did an outstanding job from the moment they arrived to the end of the move. We are highly satisfied with Speed Loaders and today is the second time we've used their services. They are extremely fast and efficient and are careful with any box marked "fragile" as well as TV's and mirrors. My family and I are seasoned movers and Speed Loaders is by far the all-around best moving company with not only their services but the price as well. We hope there isn't another move in our near future but if there is, we know who to call! Thanks so much Alex and Chris, you guys rocked it! read more

The two guys William and Alex were great. They were on time and very professional with loading everything I had. It took longer than I had anticipated but I guess I had more than I thought. The owner worked with my schedule without any hassles (and I made a lot of changes) and always returned my phone calls. To bad they aren't global. read more

Awesome guys! We were incredibly happy with their service and professionalism. We even had a sofa bed to move, and they handled it like a bunch of champs! They were extremely courteous and mindful of fragile pieces, they knew exactly what questions to ask and how to make the move easy and FAST. Highly recommend. These guys are hilarious, too, so get ready to have fun and make jokes along the way :) read more

These guys were so wonderful and I would recommend them for any move, especially at such a great price. When two of the guys had some car trouble, another one showed up to get me started while they were on their way. I was concerned about paying by the hour because I have heard horror stories about guys taking their time to increase the bottom line. These guys were so respectful, helpful and they were as efficient as anyone I have seen. I have moved many times and have never been as happy as I was with this company. Shauntel helped me set the whole thing up and she was so wonderful. I can't say enough about this company. I would recommend them to anyone doing any kind of move. Great experience! read more

I do moving in the LA area but needed an assistant in San Diego for a small job for one of our LA clients. Right off, I got great service over the phone from Speed Loaders. On the move date, Gabriel met me at the job site. He had been in the moving business for 14 years. It showed. He was great - fast, careful, hard-working but adaptive ( each company has their tricks and methods they like to follow). We loaded a van and a 12ft trailer at two locations, including navigating stairs and tricky turns with a heavy treadmill. No damages and all done within 2 hours. I will contact Speed Loaders whenever I need assistance in the area. read more

Shantal and her crew did a fabulous job moving 3 rooms of furniture into a POD for us on short notice. Gabriel & Dwayne were prepared with tools & dollies to pack our piano, heavy antique side board and 2 large dining sets into the POD on or sloped driveway for a remodel. They called ahead to let us know there were slightly delayed. Shantal called ahead of time to let us know and provided useful information for us to prep for their service - and to be sure we knew how to get in touch with her if there were any problem. No problems. The guys were energetic and efficient with their time and finished in less than 2 hours. Even stretch wrapped our upholstered furniture for us - since I couldn't figure out how to make it work. I plan to use them again to help up unload when our remodel is done in a few weeks. read more

Professional. Accommodating. Communicative. Punctual. Ms. Chantelle kept the stress level down as uncertainty surrounded our move around the holiday season. Once we knew that we could move in to our new spot, it was a simple confirmation call and we were set to move in 48 hours. On the actual days of packing, loading then moving in our things, she continued to reassure that all is on time as the team of movers assisted another client before working with us. They were professional, arriving at least 15 minutes early. Thank you Chantelle, Will, Chris, Martinez and Mike for helping our family with the move! read more

I had to move from a place I lived 15 years because my rent was increased 30% and I was freaking out about moving but Speed Loaders were like angels. Shantelle put me at ease and she set me up with their logistics guy I don't remember his name but he was fantastic he helped me figure out what size truck I needed and packing materials I would need. Alex and Charles met me at the U-Haul and Alex drove the truck so I didn't have to. They were both super nice and fast and efficient and Charles having lived in San Diego for a long time was able to tell me all the places to get food and whatever I might need. Really if you have to move it's so worth it especially if you're single woman. You don't have to bribe your friends to do a crappy job for you they professionals and they take the stress out of it! read more

David and his assistant are strong, friendly, and hard workers. But they did not optimize the CoolBox- tons of empty space so I had to go to Carlsbad Self Storage, who saved me! Shantel in the office is friendly. So just supervise and organize before they arrive. read more

Loved my experience with Speed Loaders. Shantelle, who helps coordinate your move, made the whole thing as easy as possible. She was able to get my preferred time on a date that I knew would be busy and checked in on me with my move to make sure everything was going as planned. Our movers, Angel and Fernando, were awesome. They were upbeat and really took care of our stuff. They did an amazing job of loading our U-haul and were able to park it in a way that was close to our apartment complex while not putting it in a spot that would interrupt traffic or put anyone in harms way. They did a great job of unloading our stuff into our new apartment and helped make another trip to a storage unit where we had to unload the rest of our items. I'm definitely not moving anything on my own again and definitely look forward to using Speed Loaders again in the future. read more

I wanted to write sooner, but we're still just unloading all our trucks and boxes that Pren, Mike, Jason and Cor packed for us! Hey guys..and you too Chantelle...we couldn't not have been happier or more impressed! Far exceeded our expectations for professionalism on so many levels. Not only on time...they were early! With 4 of them and 2 of us, I think we filled one van, one SUV and two 25' U-hauls in 7 hours and the guys packed those U-hauls so perfectly, it was like the Egyptians fitting stones together for the pyramids! Their expert packing saved us the headache of a third truck and you could not have gotten anything else in the vehicles. And, it wasn't just thrown in there. Our things were done "just so." The packing was done with care and respect for even the most delicate things. Wow! Oh...and the guys are funny and great too! I wanted to tell them to jump in the trucks and come with us to help us unload! These boys work hard and God bless you for making a stressful day that much easier! I hope you see this and know who this is! read more

Did a two-hour unload of a moving truck, including several large pieces of furniture, in hellish heat at a very good price. Would certainly recommend. read more

Great folks took care of my 3 bedroom home. They were responsive to my constant rescheduling and we're on time when I needed them. They are pretty affordable since you rent the truck and they do the rest. You can save some money by packing some of the small things yourself. I recommend them and the owners are good people. read more

Speed Loaders is AWESOME! They were professional, and only had one days notice..and they were able to work on a Sunday...the only day I could make this move. I called on Saturday and asked for an 11:00 appointment on Sunday. Then I needed them earlier and they arrived at the time I needed them. They packed up and moved a big heavy concrete table, when others said no. They really helped me when I could not get the job done myself. I could not have made this move without their help. They wrapped my concrete table with the utmost care and everything arrived in perfect condition. They even gave me a blanket and tow strap to ensure that my stuff was wrapped securely. The receptionist ensured me that she would take the stress out of moving and she sure did. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Speed Loaders were awesome! Carlos and Jesus were exceptionally careful with our furniture and took no shortcuts when it came to prepping our furniture for moving and hauling into the truck. They were also super efficient in loading the truck--it was like a Tetris work of art! We're definitely using them again when we find a home to move into. read more

You know when you hit the jackpot and everything goes smoothly? That is what Speed Loaders has been like. When I booked Speed Loaders through hireahelper.com within a few hours Shantel called to confirm the service that I scheduled. The crew showed up early and took amazing care unloading our truck, making sure not scrap walls or ding furniture while placing it around our home. Prentice has done a magnificent job training his crews in not only taking care of the stuff they are moving but also interacting with clients in a positive professional manner . They are so good we have hired Speed Loaders for the third time with our relocation. Speed Loaders are the best!!! The courtesy and professional manner of the crews have superb. read more

These two guys were awesome! Alex and Charles moved our small office on Easter Sunday morning. They were on-time, courteous, easy going, and fast. They are great at what they do and took great care of us. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company for your moving needs. They provide everything you need except the truck. We are very grateful they made an exception for us and worked on a Sunday/holiday. That kind of customer service goes a long way. I will never use another company. read more
