Moving on your own is stressful, especially when you're starting fresh in a new place. I didn't have family or friends nearby to help, so I was expecting a long, exhausting, and emotional day. Instead, the entire experience was far better than I imagined. The crew worked incredibly hard from start to finish without ever rushing or cutting corners. They handled every piece of furniture with care, wrapped everything securely, and took the time to ask exactly where I wanted each item instead of leaving things wherever was most convenient. By the end of the move, I was genuinely grateful for how respectful, patient, and considerate everyone had been. What I thought would be one of the most stressful days of the year turned into a smooth and surprisingly pleasant experience. I also want to recognize the office team for their excellent communication throughout the entire process. Every question I had was answered promptly, and I always knew what to expect. Thank you to everyone involved for making such a stressful day into such a positive memory. I couldn't be happier with the service, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone planning a move. read more

We used Zapt Movers for a relocation. While we were optimistic based on past experiences, this move resulted in the loss of four luxury handbags. I packed into a wardrobe box, but when the box arrived at our new home, the purses had been removed. Most concerning is that the company failed to conduct a formal inventory check or provide a signed inventory list during the move--a major professional failure. Zapt has since used this lack of documentation to deny our formal claim. I strongly advise future customers to insist on a complete inventory before any items are loaded, as this company has shown they will not take responsibility for items that go missing under their care. A police report was filed. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

No stars can be given, except for the moving guys themselves! SO NOT USE THESE SCAMMERS!!!! DOUBLED our costs at the end, and charged $53 just to run the credit card... fucking fraudsters!!!! 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 wouldn't hire these clowns to move a dog house cause I think they would be incapable of doing so without damaging it. They broke my tv and my daughters bed frame and have told us that it was us that broke it!! Absolute scumbags this company. They say they offered "extra" insurance but they didn't and why would I need insurance if they were taking care of the stuff they were loading and unloading? Proper shithole company hire someone eles anyone eles monkeys would 100%do a better job. Have pictures of all the damage. Absolute scum!! 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

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

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

There were no hidden fees, everyone was professional, efficient and friendly. I will definitely use their services again!

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

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've had them move small moves and even long moves (Northern CA to Southern CA). You just have to ensure that you're communicating what you want when you're moving things. Kudos to this company! read more

This is the 2nd time we've used Zapt to move us. We absolutely LOVE Zapt. Each time our move was smooth and professional and soooo quick. Sure you have to pay for such service, but the ease and peace of mind we were afforded is priceless!!! Choose Zapt; you won't be disappointed!!! read more

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

They were very flexible and prompt. Provided a great service. I would use Zapt again.

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

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

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

Carlos and his crew where wonderful. They showed up on time, and got everything done way faster than I expected. They handled my stuff with care and made the whole moving process way less stressful.

Two gentlemen showed up and handled my possessions like they would their own. This was the easiest move I've ever had. I would recommend Zapt Movers every time. The price was very reasonable too. 5 read more

Great work, everything arrived on time and in good condition. Also, they were much more affordable than other quotes we received.

Zapt was incredibly easy to work with. They made my move from LA to the Bay Area easy and fast. The movers were friendly and considerate of all belongings and the company was communicative every step along the way. read more

Don't waste your time with this people!!! Get a professional service. We hire them and they were 3 and a half hours late. If you appreciate your valuable time and money look for another company. They give us 30min discount for being 3 hours and a half late I guess thats the one star. Btw the crew was amazing and super helpful booking the reservation and also they ghost, never call back or say something about being late the day of the reservation. Just move on to a different company! read more

The two movers were professional in every aspect of the move, packed all items with care, loaded the truck properly, not to mention that they were strong guys read more

Extremely disappointed with Zapt Movers. I would rate 0 star if I could. We had a move scheduled for 1pm, and they didn't show up without any proactive updates or clear communication. We had to keep calling just to find out what was going on. At first, they said the team would arrive "soon", then later told us one of the movers had broken their hand and they were sending other movers over. The estimated arrival kept getting pushed... first to 3pm, 4pm, then 5pm. After more back and forth (with us always having to call for updates), they finally canceled after 6pm. It was incredibly frustrating and stressful to be left hanging on such an important day. Things happen, but the lack of transparency and accountability made a bad situation worse. Would not recommend based on our experience. read more

Benny was my estimator and person I worked with over the last 6 months. He did exactly what he said would happen and my move went smoothly. The competitor was originally a little less expensive and then changed things at the last minute. Benny kept my process smooth and simple. My schedule was delayed and we finally had a date and plan. And Richardo was the lead of my move. He was exceptional. I cannot say enough good things about him. He was a Monday pickup with 3 trucks and delivered on Wed to Arizona. It took 9 hours to load 50k lbs of stuff and 6 hours to unload. Amazing. read more
