The crew were fast friendly and professional. The price was reasonable. We would hire them again in the future

The pick up went as planned. On time and professionally done. Delivery scheduled within 2 days. I'm a repeat customer! read more

UPDATE: The owner's response does not address the specific, documented issues, in writing, and photoproof in this review. The attached photographs show the truck as Zapt left it, including substantial usable space after I was told it was full. Additional movers then repacked the load and fit more of the items Zapt had left behind. I also have the $396.97 receipt for that additional service, Zapt's written offer of a 50 percent refund, and messages showing that damage-claim paperwork was promised twice but never provided. My 3:00 a.m. deadline did not prevent Zapt from completing the move. They told me the truck was full, so they left before I had a chance to review the final finished truck. It is why I relied on its professional crew when they told me the truck was full and the job was finished. Rather than broadly claiming that my account is unsupported, Zapt could address the photograph evidence, the missing third mover, its written refund offer and the claim paperwork it promised via email. Everything stated in this review is based on what I personally observed and the documentation I retained. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. read more

BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE We paid Zapt Movers $3,000+ for our move in July 2026, including professional packing. $800+ worth of items they packed were never delivered, and other items arrived damaged. They also also tacked on surprise fees. Then came the claims process - if you can call it that. I count at least 15 conversations, bounced from person to person. After all that, they made a lowball offer against our documented losses, then went silent. We filed a BHGS complaint and small claims case. And it's not just me. Read the other reviews: missing items that never arrive, damaged furniture, and the same runaround when you try to claim. Before you book, also read how Camila responds to the negative reviews on this page - dismissive and nasty, in public, to paying customers. I'm sure she'll give a wonderful example to this right as a reply to this one. IN SHORT: AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE read more

Never again. tl;dr - this company broke one of my furniture items, took OVER twice the time estimated (an additional 4 and a half hours) and gave poor service, then ghosted me after charging me $600 over the estimate. Essentially stealing this money from. Full experience: I've hired this company 3 times. First two times were amazing. Great price, great service, and service went as expected (about 4 and a half hours to move everything to my new apartment. This third time, things changed. One of the movers made multiple weird comments to me (one comment was racist) and the drivers stole my nice paper towel roll. I like to buy the nicer brand cause it makes me use the towels more sparingly. They just took it. Weird. The moved wildly slow. Dismantled my couch "to make space" that they didn't need to make in the truck. This took a significant amount of time (the movers did not need to do this in the past). I have roughly the same amount of items as previous two moves. One of the movers asked to try on my weighted vest. This was fine. But then he kept it on and wore it as he worked. Just full on using my workout gear, sweating into it. Weird. The company claimed the conditions of the apartment complex was part of what took extra time - weird considering their same movers helped me move into this place with NO issues and no major slow downs on time. In fact, this place had a large freight elevator in which they could move a significant amount of items all at once and almost no one was around to use the elevator that day. It took the EIGHT and a HALF hours to move a one bedroom apartment that was mostly packed up and ready to go. And they still had left a dozen items outside my new place... Lastly (for this post, but not last on their list of failures) the packed everything into the entryway of my new place. making it near impossible to do any initial unpacking. It took hours to just get everything rearranged so that i could even begin to unpack and make space for the last items to bring in. The company blamed me. then the company ghosted me. So... yeah, work with them if you wanna gamble with what you get! Maybe it'll be great and maybe you'll get a racist weirdo that tries on your workout gear, breaks your stuff, intentionally wastes time and does a bad job so that you get overcharged and he can line his pockets :) glad Zapt Movers supports this! read more

On time very careful with my items and really listen to my requests Polite and respectful read more

My wife and I are absolutely pissed at our moving experience with this company. This is the 2nd time that we used them and the 2nd time they messed up our items. We utilized them last year for a local move. During that move, they scratched our brand new dresser. It was not even a year old. Wife reached out to them and they provided her with a refund of $55 and am apology!! She accepted it. Fast forward to our 2nd move. Leading up to the move, we spoke to a representative and informed him that we did not want any issues with our furniture being messed up. We reminded him of the last issue (He automatically knew what we were referring to). He stated that there would be no issues and that they would ensure if it. So we agreed to book with them again. BIG MISTAKE!! Here were the issues: 1st- instead of them asking for support in how to remove the legs off of the dresser, they automatically pulled instead of twisting it off. They ripped off piece of the wood that the leg twists into so now it no longer twists. 2nd- They scratched up our mirror which means that poorly secured it and probably had something laying on top of it. 3rd. They broke a piece of our portable wardrobe closet so nor one side is not held up. We are not willing to accept $55 this go around. I will be emailing them and calling to get a proper solution. They broke our items that we paid for and they did not really even give an apology in the moment. This is absurd read more

Movers arrived on time, did their job well and didn't complain; at least not in English lol I'm kidding lol the 3 men handling our Across the Bay move were respectful, courteous & fast; I just wish there were more of them lol it would've gone faster had there been at least 2 more men. Thank You Zapt Movers! You definitely deserve more business from the folks in the Bay Area who are planning moving in the near future. read more

BEWARE: The price was attractive, but unfortunately that was the only positive part of my experience. Numerous items arrived damaged, and before the move I was assured that any damage would be covered through their insurance. When I contacted them about filing a claim, I was told that after their investigation there was nothing they could do and that the items must have already been damaged before the move, which I strongly disagree with based on their condition prior to being packed. The move itself was also extremely disorganized. They attempted to deliver items that belonged to a previous customer's move, and at the same time I'm still missing at least one of my own boxes. Overall, the customer service was disappointing, communication was poor, and the entire experience left me with very little confidence in the company. I made every effort to handle the situation professionally and respectfully, but I was met with excuses rather than meaningful assistance or accountability. read more

Scam. Will hold your items hostage and demand more money to release the items. Also told I'd have more movers than showed up. Hours of just hanging in the truck doing no work but charging for it. Camila is of no help, rude, accusatory and runs a horrible business read more

Fraud. They stole some of my belongings (shoes, collectible knives, fragrances, watches). Banged up some of my furniture. When I called to report it to "Ana" who booked my appointment, she was either out of the office or on another call. I sent multiple emails and never got a reply. Would highly suggest avoiding this "business." Or making sure you have enough people to keep eyes on all of the movers, there were 3 of them and just me. They also were drinking on the job and stashed a shooter bottle in my dirty laundry. read more

SCAMMERS! Do not use this company. They originally quoted around $750 for a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom. And estimated it would take 5hrs and 45m. Before the movers had even arrived to my new place the quote went to $1241. They stated the move would now take 9 hours. They charged me $148 for driving the hour distance and charged me an hour of labor for the same drive. The front desk worker was extremely rude and tried have the movers leave with my items. I had reached out to several moving companies and went with them because they had the best price. I would have never picked this company if I knew they would double my quote and try to steal my items read more

UPDATE: In response to Camila, we were never offered additional insurance/protections for our televisions. George guaranteed our devices would be safe and secure with the movers wrapping and placing them in a television boxes. We didnt have them mount the TV because when they took it off the previous mount, it was clear they didn't have experience with it. And they were already over time by the time they brought everything to our new place, so no, we didn't want to pay for more time especially after the fallen boxes as well. And to even suggest that the damage was caused by ourselves is ridiculous. Only after we have been in the process of filing our claim that you would insinuate that. No we are not excepting .60 per pound and signing a waiver to say you are released of liability. Are you kidding me? That's not justified compensation for an electronic device that your employee guaranteed would be cared for. Being quick and polite doesn't justify damage. I could go into more details about how other items were mishandled, but I haven't because it's minor. The one major thing damaged you are being dismissive of and it's not excusable. If I could give them 0 stars, I would. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. The guys they had working for them were very polite and worked quickly. HOWEVER, their lack of experience (only 1 guy had been doing this for several years) led to our television being mishandled and broken. Even boxes inside the truck fell over, spilling contents of our things, (have not seen if there was further damage yet). We filed a claim as soon as we realized our TV was broken. We chose to hang it up ourselves and did not plug in before they left to see if there was any damage. The screen is broken in 3 spots, the screen is only lines now. And they will not take responsibility by replacing or refunding us the cost of our TV. Only offering 60 cents per pound...absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. Would never recommend them to anyone. Beware! read more

Support on the business end was superb and contact with the movers was great! They provided the service with two stops - storage and new home right on time and on quote. The pricing was reasonable, well worth the investment. They offer extra services, many at no additional charge. The crew who moved us were professional and helpful. I will 1000% use them again. read more

These movers are horrible!!! My girlfriend booked these guys to help her move in late February. Her place was completely packed up. The movers said they'd be there Saturday morning. They then texted saying that they're running late. Then, they texted again saying that the battery on the moving truck was dead. Later, after calling numerous times (that they didn't answer), they texted that they would have to reschedule for the next day. I was furious!!! The next morning they finally arrived later than what was scheduled, but did complete the move. They did an ok job, but ended up leaving some "trash" behind that my girlfriend's new landlord discovered on his property. All the back and forth after being completely packed up and ready to move was bullshit. I'll never book a move with this company again after the drama they caused my girlfriend and I. Additionally, I'll make sure my friends don't either. read more

I received a quote a on a small move from care facility to another in Brentwood. Scheduled for next month . So far communication and scheduling is superb with their representative Emma. She's on it 100% and handles any concerns I've had moving our Mom from the Dementia care location. If that's any indication of this companies efficiency I feel it will go smoothly. Will update after move is accomplished! read more

Not recommended! Use other companies to avoid staying at a hotel. They overcharged, were rude, slow, and left us unable to connect the bed! read more

I would strongly caution anyone considering Zapt Movers--my experience felt like a clear bait-and-switch and overcharge. When I initially requested a quote, Paulo gave me an estimate that was significantly higher than another company offering 3 movers and a truck. He later offered a "discounted" option for 2 movers, a truck, and an estimated time of 6 hours. I confirmed the logistics of the move and packing with Paulo multiple times. They also heavily oversell their "professional move coordinators"--in reality, good luck communicating with them effectively. On moving day, things immediately went off track. The first crew arrived with two movers, one of whom was supposedly the move coordinator--but he spoke very little to no English, even though I asked for someone that was conversational in English to facilitate communication. After briefly reviewing my items, they claimed the move would require more movers and more time, completely contradicting what had already been agreed upon. After a long and frustrating back-and-forth with Paulo and their operations manager, they decided to replace the crew entirely. This caused a major delay, forced me to reschedule plans at my destination, and added unnecessary time in traffic. The start of the move was chaotic and stressful. Ironically, the second crew that arrived completed the move within the original estimate--2 movers and 6 hours--proving that the initial upsell attempt and all the chaos were completely unnecessary. It got worse after the move was completed. I was given the runaround when I highlighted the failings that occurred during my move, and Zapt showed very poor follow-through. When I raised concerns, they claimed they had given me a "discount" for two hours, implying the job should have taken 8 hours. This is simply not true. The crew worked a total of 6 hours--the exact amount I was charged for. I even have text messages with their customer service confirming the movers started at 11:00 AM and finished at 5:00 PM. Between the attempted upsell, disorganization, delays, and contradictory explanations afterward, this was an extremely frustrating experience--especially given that their pricing was already higher than competitors. I would not trust their estimates or their process. I suggest checking Yelp for highly rated (5.0) moving companies--there are plenty of better options. I should have saved myself the hassle by paying closer attention to Zapt's recent reviews; please note that all their 5-star reviews are short, contain no detail, and are likely written to offset the lengthly negative reviews there prone to receive of late. read more

Do not book unless you have multiple days available to move. They do not have enough trucks/people to keep your appointment if an unforeseen incident should occur for the company. read more

Zapt Movers exceeded all my expectations. Their prices are unbeatable! They came with a boxed moving truck and moved my 2 bedroom 1 bath condo to my new house in a record 3 hours. They were very professional and handled everything with care. They had blankets, wrapping and tools to assemble the beds and dressers. Highly recommend and will definitely use them again in the future!!! read more

Amazing! I was burned in the past by an online company, so my guard was on full. Zapt was none of the things I was worried about. Online inventory was quick and easy, the confirmation call was thorough, the am ETA was almost to the minute, they were on time, friendly, careful and quick. I highly recommend Zapt. read more

TL;DR: this place is a scam and should never, ever be used. The movers--the actual people moving the stuff--are great. Agatha, the customer experience rep, is lovely. The company management, on the other hand, is horrible and should never be trusted. The owner's name is Camila and I'll talk about her below. My story: I booked an 8-10am move and signed a contract for that slot. The night before, I texted since I hadn't heard from them, and they confirmed. Then a bit later (again, the night before the move) they called to say that they accidentally double-booked the move and they couldn't give me the morning slot anymore. They couldn't give me any reasonable explanation, and finally admitted they had just never put me on the moving schedule at all--despite my already having signed a contract and paid a deposit. They agreed to start at 11am instead...then strung me along all the next morning saying they would "be there soon." In the end, they started at 2:45pm, 5-7 hours after the contractually agreed-upon start time!!! It was far too late for me to try and hire other movers, so I was simply trapped waiting. Once they did come, the move was fine up until the unpacking. The management company essentially extorted me by forcing the guys over the phone to keep my things on the truck until I paid them an amount I wasn't comfortable with, but wouldn't speak to me directly so I had no one with decision-making power to negotiate with. I finally got them to an amount I was okay with, and we unpacked...but my partner and I had to pitch in moving furniture with them for the last three hours just to get it done within a reasonable hour. Then, as we were finishing, I got notification by text that they were insisting on me paying the rest of the amount they wanted before they would let the last of my furniture off the truck. I held firm and it seemed like they backed off. I couldn't go to bed until they finished so wasn't in bed until after 1am. Throughout the whole process, I was dealing with management (Camila) through Agatha despite my asking many times--she was too cowardly to speak to me directly or do anything for me. Now I still have to fight them saying I owe more money for who knows how long. Their trucks say "making your move quick and easy!" and nothing is further from the truth. Lastly: If you see anyone from the company comment on this review later apologizing, I can assure you it is for appearances so that you might also move with them and they can fleece you, too. They pay $20 for every good review you see here. read more

I've used Zapt Movers numerous times, and every time they always deliver the best service. They are attentive and really ensure that they're taking care of your things.

I moved from berkeley to oakland on short notice and had been procrastinating on packing. I booked Zapt the morning of moving out and they were incredibly timely. Mind you -- I only had half of my townhouse packed when they arrived. They said it was okay and would work around me. Within 4 hours I was moved to my new home! They also had all of the materials necessary to protect my items when packing and even disassembled/assembled larger furniture at each location free of charge. I was stressed and felt guilty that my space wasn't organized better for them, but they would check in on me throughout the day and were incredibly patient with the circumstances. They helped me far beyond what was required. I absolutely recommend Zapt for moving in the Bay Area. Save yourself the stress and let them help you! read more

On time, on budget. 2 men and a truck does not describe the level of service provided. They made it look easy. Wrapped all bedding and large screen TV's and treated every item with care. I couldn't have asked for a more Professional move. Thank you Zapt. read more

Updating my review from October because I just finished unpacking. First, on the San Francisco side the movers just left without packing my kitchen (I paid for packing services). I had to get boxes, pack my kitchen myself, and wait five hours for them to come back. Now I just realized that they lost two sentimental framed prints. I had assumed they it in my painting box but when I opened it last night they weren't in there. I'm really disappointed. One poster was from the John Williams concert at the Hollywood Bowl and I can't get it replaced. The other was a print of a woman sleeping on Venus fly traps that I can't find anywhere online. Never mind that I spent hundreds of dollars on the frames. I tipped really well. I bought my movers drinks and coffee. read more

Horrible service! A piece of my furniture was missing, they took it but did not deliver to the destination. Intentionally being slow because they kept wanting to collect the hour as much as possible. Shameful! Very shameful! They showed me the clock when I asked when the clock was supposed to start, but then later on charged me 11 mins early and charged another additional 15 minutes even though they have finished 15 minutes earlier. The whole process should only took 3.5 hours but ended up taking 5 hours because of how intentionally slow they are. They did a lot of unnecessary things, instead of taking the furnitures and all of the ready to take boxes, they were taping a few boxes that I was still working on them, and I don't need them to tape the boxes !!! They took the pictures of my all furnitures and counted all the boxes but never did a walkthrough with me. What are the pictures for, if at the end one piece of furniture was missing? They took time to call their boss saying that it would take more than 3 hours to move. They also unwrapped the plastics they used to cover the furnitures which was unnecessary, since they knew it would add up the time. I called and complaint and the guy who talked to me was very rude and said why did the movers stole your furniture? Unless they dropped it at Goodwill, we could not find any furnitures left in the truck. There are no solutions offered by this company, all they did was sending very unprofessional movers who can't speak English and I could not communicate and directed them which made the whole moving process very stressful. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE! read more

My move was delayed by over 6 hours, had to reorganize the entire move because of them.

The process of moving was simplified by the staff who handled the booking. And the movers who came were extremely polite and efficient. They worked continuously packing and securing furniture. I had some very heavy exercise equipment. Excellent service! I would be calling them again for sure and recommend them to family and friends. Thanks for an amazing job! read more
