Professional, fast, and careful. Also very responsive which I appreciated. None of my stuff was damage and the one thing that got lost they found and returned super fast. Great experience. read more

We had a very disappointing experience with Stirling Moving, LLC in Santa Barbara. They subcontracted our company to perform a move on their behalf. We completed the work as agreed, and the customer paid Stirling Moving for the move, but our company was never paid for the services we provided. Despite performing the actual work and fulfilling our end of the agreement, we have yet to receive payment. It is extremely frustrating to know that payment was collected from their customer while the subcontractor who completed the job was left unpaid. Based on our experience, I would strongly caution other from working with Stirling Moving, LLC read more

Stirling moving did a great job for me. The movers showed up early and were experienced. They were very efficient and hard-working. They made my move much easier and less stressful. Trust worthy crew for a reasonable price. read more

Stirling Moving has moved me a few times. They always do a great job! Not to mention the employees are wonderful!! I will definitely go to them again next time I move. Thanks guys! read more

My mother used this company to move from Santa Ynez to Santa Barbara and the experience was horrible. Zero Inventories. Items poorly wrapped if at all. Giant over packed boxes that could only be moved by 2 people. Boxes not labelled until asked and then improperly labelled. There were some lamps from my great grandmother that had crystals hanging from the shades. Approximately 1/3 of the crystals disappeared and have never been seen since. I have hired movers before and have actually worked as a mover for awhile. I would quit immediately if this was the situation and I would never recommend this company to anyone. My mom was offered a $4k discount if she did not leave a negative yelp review which she declined after being charged double the initial quote. Considering the "second truck" was not available to make the trip my mom was charged more for less. I can only assume anyone giving this company 5 stars was offered a similar deal. Make sure your movers are licensed, bonded and offer insurance for items they are transporting before you hire them. This is where an inventory is crucial and movers like this get away with whatever they want since there is no proof. Yes, items were damaged but I understand that can happen but not nearly as often as this company did. read more

The worst move we have ever experienced!! Sooo many things of ours were lost, i.e. summer bedspread, kitchen items, clothes! It's heartbreaking. The truck our guys broke down. Items were poorly packed. Eric only cares about collecting the money. He never trains his crew, never checks on them during the move, much less brings them lunch or cold beverages. There are other great moving companies here in town. Use another company please! read more

Extremely professional and a bunch of good people. Quick competent and clean. Efficient, they plastic wrapped all the sensitive objects and they did it with a smile. 10/10 would use again. read more

I highly recommend Stirling movers! They helped me out when I was in a pinch with moving a large piece of furniture. The movers, Henry and Michael were both really nice and professional. read more

Danny and Henry moved my belongings from Ventura to Santa Barbara and they were fantastic! It even hailed on them while they moved stuff from my apartment to their truck! Very reliable, great attitude, can't say enough positive stuff about Stirling Moving and Storage! Highly recommend them! read more

Nice team! Super friendly and kind movers. They got the job done and everything arrived perfectly.

My experience at Stirling Moving was unfortunately subpar. The movers themselves, were about average with a short list of minor issues: they damaged an entranceway frame, damaged a fence post, broke a wooden statue, worked relatively slowly with one specific employee cussing throughout the day (in front of my young children) The final invoice was packed full of extra charges that I was completely unaware of. 1.) charged for the use of a Credit Card 2.) excessive "travel" expenses were applied 3.) billed for the 1.5 hour lunch that was taken and 4.) The company did not offer a guarantee to be within 25% (or whatever %) of original estimate, as the final bill was almost 200% more than the original estimate. I called and emailed the owner of the company to address some of these concerns and asked for a response. It has been almost a week and he has not reached out. (very likely because he has been paid in full) This complete lack of professionalism and customer service is what drove my rating of my review. read more

Dennis and Hugo did a great job moving furniture and items from Santa Barbara to Santa Cruz. They quickly and carefully packed all of the furniture so that it arrived in great condition. They worked together like a well-oiled machine. We can't say enough good things about them and Stirling Movers. read more

We hired Stirling moving to move my parents from Santa Barbara to Vista, CA. From beginning to end we were amazed by the quality of service from the owner to every single mover they are polite, responsive, professional, conscience and extremely efficient. They made what could have been a very stressful time for my parents easy. They packed everything so carefully and even put protection on the corners of the walls and doors to insure they would not scratch or ding anything. We highly recommend this company to anyone who wants a moving company that will make your move easier. read more

Help me with my move to Los Angeles. They provide excellent service definitely worth the price. The service shined from the first call till the end of the move. I will definitely be use them in the future. read more

Stirling Moving helped me move from a 1,500 square foot home in Santa Barbara to San Jose. They came to my home, looked at everything, saw the things I needed them to move, and I requested they pack up my kitchen and television. My estimate was $4990. I was told they had quoted 15% over their best guess, so it would probably end up a lower price in the end. This was at the bottom of my quote: "You will only be charged for the time it takes to complete your move (price can be lowered). The price can be adjusted due to delays by the customer, unforeseen long carry's, weather and or additional packing/boxing of small items." Stirling was not the lowest quote, but they were clean cut and seemed reliable. On moving day they showed up right on time. They sent a couple extra guys to help for a few hours to pack up the kitchen. There were no small items around the house for them to pack. They did a great job, and the truck was fully loaded 30 minutes quicker than the estimate. The next day they were at my new home in San Jose right on time. They had sent one extra guy to help unload, and it took them 2 hours longer to unload than the estimate, but everything arrived in perfect condition and my very complicated bed was put together correctly. I was very surprised when they were finished and presented me with a bill $2,000 over my quote saying they had added a couple men and spent more time than on the estimate. What is the purpose of an estimate if the charge will be 40% higher? After I protested, they did bring the price down to $6,500, about 30% higher than the estimate. Ultimately, I was happy with the service they provided. However, if you are price sensitive you should ask for a binding quote instead of an estimate. read more

Excellent quality service. Fast, polite and helpful. Couldn't have asked for a better service. I was so stressed out with my move and they took care of it all! Thanks again guys! read more

Asked for a quote and they offered a date that was a week out from my moving date. I asked if they had any other dates available and was told they were fully booked. I explained that I had no control over my move date and what is the purpose of offering services a week after my move date. Person was extremely rude and laughed at me saying good luck finding someone on my date. This was all done via text so I have absolutely zero idea where the attitude came from or why they were rude to me. I don't get to pick when my lease ends. read more

Sterling movers are a professional outfit. What my quote was to move was very close to what I actually paid for the move. They did everything in their ability to make moving a relaxed experience for me and my family. I would recommend you doing business with them as I would do business with them again in the future! Thanks again to Sterling movers and their crew A+ job! read more

While the crew that worked with me were very friendly, they did not do a good job. They knew that everything was being moved to long term storage, and when we opened the storage container 9 months later to move things into a better long-term facility, we found that they had not wrapped furniture, and most things that were actually wrapped merely had paper around them, and that was in shreds. In addition, after walking through the property initially we were given a quote for the move - the final charge was NEARLY TRIPLE the amount quoted. In addition, items that were to be stored in one location were left in a secondary location without our knowledge, and we had to ask repeatedly (at least 5-6 times over 2 months) just to get a full inventory list. I don't like writing bad reviews, but I would definitely think twice about hiring this company, especially for items going into storage. read more

Easiest move I've ever had. The guys made it really easy for us. I was very impressed with how fast they moved us into our new place. The driver made us feel very comfortable by letting us know how he takes care of everything as if were his own. I highly recommend them. Great job guys! read more

Very professional. Very quick service and moved my belongings with extra care. Thumbs up. Thanks Stirling Movers

Great movers they really took care of our stuff. I will definitely be using them again and recommending the to my friends. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable for moving assistance. We learned a new way to pack our stuff. Thank you Stirling movers. read more

The owner is a professional and caring businessman who puts his customer needs and priories first; responds diligently with Care and Effort.

I've moved repeatedly throughout my life. This was one of the few times when I can say that everything went well. Hugo and Big John were super cool and didn't stop until the job was done. The owner was kind and answered all of my questions. Very professional. Honest. And brought concerns to my attention. In the past the movers would've not said anything. Would recommend using them for all your moving needs. They even went out of the way to locate assistance with overflow boxes from a move. Really nice to know movers who are ethical, have integrity and reasonably priced. Hope they're around for a long time! read more

I would not recommend working with these movers. They were quick to respond but the experience was not good at all. I have a one bedroom apartment and moved into a one level house and they scheduled me from 2pm to 3pm after booking me at 10am and realizing they were already booked. They arrived with a huge truck that couldnt fit down the alley where the one level 1 staircase was located so they had to load up the truck from the street which was about 2 staircases or 2.5. They started moving at 2:40pm and completed the entire move by 7:30pm. They moved extremely slow and one of the people seemed very disinterested in being there. Very short when spoken to. The other was very friendly but both walking and carrying everything extremely slow . It also sounded like one of the movers was taking a personal call during the move and someone used my restroom and left the seat up, so I asked one of them to put it down. We got to my house at 5:30pm and it took them 2 hours to unload from the front door and a majority of the boxes were going to living-room!! There was also a couch, a bed frame and a large dresser going into other rooms but very close in distance. I called the owner and they were friendly and said he would give me a discount but they still charged me over $500 for the move that was clearly being drawn out. I also tried to pay with a Visa card and they said they got an error and didn't know what it meant so they didn't want to process it and kept asking me to pay in cash or venmo even though I confirmed their forms of payment earlier that morning. I could also hear the two movers talking about who would take the blame and how they could explain it. Which sounded odd. All in all it was awful. I worked with Elite Movers previously and it took them an hour and ten mins to complete my move into the same apartment. So clearly I know it can be done in less time. I will never be using them again. read more

I cannot describe in words how grateful I am for Stirling Moving and Storage. We booked movers to help us from from Santa Barbara County to Ventura County, and 15 minutes before the scheduled move, the other company cancelled on us. Stirling not only supported us on the day we were supposed to move, but he did so kindly and efficiently. Chris and his partner were incredibly hard workers and made the entire moving experience simple and stress free. I will absolutely be using Stirling again in the future and will be encouraging friends and family to do so as well. read more

Great guys, super polite, bright and hard working. Highly recommended! Moved a SubZero refrigerator down steps with ease and moved boxes and heavy household goods quickly and with friendly attitude. A pleasure to do business with. read more

If your looking for professional and extremely efficient movers, call Stirling Moving! Erik and his team are the best around!! They helped move our furniture and other items for a carpet installation for our business. They did an AMAZING JOB! The job went smooth, quick, and they took great care in protecting our furniture, new carpet, and walls. Thank you guys!! read more

I had scheduled another delivery service to pick up furniture to be delivered. At 7 am on the delivery date that mover canceled on us, he didn't answer his phone after he texted the cancellation. The store was going to put the merchandise back on the floor. My daughter found Stirling movers from Yelp. They could not have been more professional, responsive and kept us informed on every step of the pickup. They were even willing to make one additional stop to pick up an additional item. I am usually leery of using someone who wasn't personally referred to us. I took a chance and was so glad I did. Will definitely use this company again. Highly recommend!!!A+++++++. read more

After attempting to deal with quotes from various local SB entities for a move from SB to the Bay Area, we luckily happened upon Eric and the team at Stirling - and thank God. Eric is super pro, attentive, prompt, and professional and he and the guys did an exemplary job of handling our upstairs move to another upstairs move hundreds of miles away all in one day. It was amazing to watch this team do what they do. Everything was handled with care and great efficiency. Would never look elsewhere if ever moving again within their managed territories. Can't believe we got so lucky but boy are we sure glad we did. Pricing was excellent. Service is five star. read more

We have moved twice in the United States (the first in 2019 and the second in July 2021) and without a doubt, this last one that we did with Stirling moving has been the best. Our move was from Carpinteria (Santa Barbara) to Mountain View. My husband and I were very stressed because we had spoken to several companies before and none had the date we needed available, fortunately they did) I wish we had found them sooner. They arrived on time on the agreed day, everything was treated with care and they even helped us to remove a large piece of furniture from the house and they did it very easily, they wrapped our large dinner table very well. They were very nice, once they loaded everything into the truck, they left and we saw each other the next day. Again they arrived on time, they unloaded everything and the best thing, all our things were intact, no furniture broken or damaged. In the end, the cost was a little higher than the estimate but it was worth it for us, since compared to our previous move, this definitely gave us a lot of peace of mind. read more

Stirling made our move very easy and painless. A lot less stressful than our last move when we did all the work ourselves, with Stirling Moving we didn't have to lift a finger. Great team!! Thanks Stirling! read more

Erik was the best. He made our moving experience less stressful. He even brought our stuff to us for a reasonable price. If i ever need storage in the area I will definitely use Eriks moving and storage service! read more

I was impressed with that amount of mobility this company has. there are quick, safe and totally efficient. the guys moved everything out in less than three hours. I've moved nine times in my life and this company BY FAR provided me with the best service. Thanks so much Erik! keep up the great work! read more

As good as it gets. This moving company provides the most professional moving service. I'll be passing their business card around Port Hueneme. read more

These guys are awesome. I hurt my back the night before a move and needed to find some last minute movers. After frantically looking around I got referred to Eric by another moving company 12 hours before my required move out time. The next morning, they were perfectly on time, very courteous and we were able to finish the entire move in a little over 1:15 (1 bedroom, 2 occupants). Their pricing is very competitive (I think their going rate was between 2/3 and 3/4 of the other people we called) and they were able to work out a deal with me and my roommate because we were both moving to the same place. Would definitely recommend. read more

I called these guys super last minute because my original mover flaked on us and these guys were quick and up for the job. They came on time and were very careful with our belongings. Also extremely quick and affordable. Thanks guys you were the best! read more

I've moved more times than I would have liked, and I have used movers before. I have never worked with anyone as professional, conscientious, and hard working as Erik. I had a tough location (3rd floor) and the move was more complex than anticipated but Erik and his associate took it all in stride and got the job done. They were both positive and accommodating throughout. read more

One of the best decisions I've ever made was calling Stirling Moving and Storage. They made my move easy and stress free. The guys were polite, organized and really professional. They handled all of my furniture and boxes carefully and I have only good things to about them. I might move again soon, just so they can help. read more
