Moving from CA to MT: This was an unplanned move with less than 5 days notice. James Blackburn was really flexible when we needed more time to pack boxes to have placed onto upcoming truck. Worker/Drivers, Manny and Treyvon, were VERY helpful, fast, efficient, and knowledgeable about moving objects onto truck and safely securing them. One had an emergency & needed to fly home but a visiting friend quickly stepped up to help ($100 pd). With so many leaving CA due to silly wokeness, corruption, politiks, and upended family values, consider this decent company that doesn't sacrifice on safety nor value. PS I used my homeowner's insurance to completely cover the value of what's being moved AND what's being stored! God bless you and your company, James; it was a pleasureable experience. ThanQ so much... read more

Had great experience with first move so decided to hire again, but based off second experience I can't recommend. Movers were very nice but one was injured and walked slowly with a limp so to avoid being charged for an extra hour I started helping unload. I don't fault the guy but when you're paying by the hour this is a problem. I explicitly explained that i needed to move a lot of outdoor stuff and potted plants - this was in clearly communicated in writing over the yelp app. When the movers arrived I showed them the pots that needed to go and they didn't say anything. Once the truck was mostly loaded they let me know that potted plants were not insured and there was a good chance they'd break - this should have been communicated much earlier. ******** Updated with an extra star. James reached out and, after some back and forth, eventually apologized for not being transparent regarding the potted plants. He refunded me $120 or roughly 5% of my total move fees not including tip. I should also clarify that none of my potted plants were damaged in the move - the team was very careful. read more

This company helped me today and I highly recommend them. Great about communication and timing, friendly and helpful.

James was great and got back to us very quickly about our move with a quote that was similar if not slightly better than many other moving companies on Yelp. He clearly explained what they would cover and the fee structure was really transparent which I appreciate. His crew showed up on time and worked diligently within the allotted time to move our items out of our apartment and into our new home. They were kind, funny and helpful. Only reason for the 4 stars instead of the 5 stars is that many of items that we did not specifically put into packing boxes ended up damaged. e.g. bookshelves, desk and side tables with scratches and some paint/wood peeling, cushions/cloth baskets that got stained etc. At the end of the day, I guess outside of some high-end moving companies, I guess you can expect some damage with a move but we do just wish they were a bit more careful when moving some items so as to limit these kinds of damages. All in all though, they were a relatively affordable option for a quick move within Sacramento and seem like a nice team to boot. read more

James, You in no way went out of your way for me throughout the entire nightmare of an experience I had dealing with you and the company you subcontracted out to. Why you choose to continue presenting a false narrative of how you handled this situation is beyond me. After blaming me for the damage to my belongings you offered me $120 to not write a bad review about your "company". Which at the time I agreed to as I thought you were an actual licensed company. As seen above you only verified with Yelp that you got your license on October 14th. This nightmare started for me on August 31st and I have the texts where you acknowledge not currently having a license from early October. After finding out that you were not a licensed company I did post a review to warn other people in the hopes of saving other consumers from having a horrible experience like I had where all of my furniture was damaged and countless items broken and the growing list of items that seem to have just disappeared. Blackmail?? I requested the money back that I was charged over the quoted amount as the movers you hired purposely drug out the move and I ended up having to pay close to $1000 dollars. In fact it was you who began sending me threating texts and asked me what I would do once, after admitting you didn't currently have a license, what I intended to do about my review. Like I told you then, I will tell you again. It was never about the money it was about the principal. Your behavior along with the owner of the fraudulent business you hired for me, without my knowledge, solidified my resolve in exposing your shady business practices and lack of professionalism to the public in hopes more people would avoid the experience I had dealing with you. read more

See all

Movers arrived 30 mins late with no communication, called the office and was told they should be on the way and should have contacted me. When they arrived they said they were given the wrong number by the office so when they tried to call me they didn't reach me. 1 of the 2 movers started complaining right away and continued to complain the entire day. Right away complained about the amount of stuff being moved, said I had a lot of stuff when I said I had moved from a 2 bedroom apartment to a storage unit and complained about the boxes being heavy and saying things like he's going to quit, that i'm one of those jobs that they get once a year that makes them hate moving, and that I'm out of my mind if I think they're going to move some of the heavy boxes upstairs. The other mover stayed professional the entire time and assured me they would move the boxes upstairs. Move took longer than I expected, everything was packed and moved into a storage locker 2 miles away from the new house by a different company but it took just over 6 hours. I understand I have a lot of heavy books and that the previous movers probably did not pack them in the best way, but I don't expect hear complaining the entire time when I've hired a company to move my stuff. read more

Made a long move from Sac area to Humboldt County and these movers were absolutely awesome with a fair price to boot! Communication by text and phone with James was easy and he is very responsive. They loaded at a storage unit, 5 am, and delivered/unloaded at my new home that same afternoon. Hard working and super efficent, Jetta and Bean were great to work with. Everything arrived in fine shape, nothing broken or damaged. The guys wrapped my furniture with blankets and oversized saran wrap nicely protected for the long drive. I would definitely hire this company again, highly recommend them! read more

I wish there was a way to give a negative 1 star. What can be worse that making an appointment with someone, confirming it in a calendar, and then getting ready to move because you have to move...and then the mover doesn't show up? Not only doesn't show up, but doesn't call, is not responsive to messages, and does not answer his phone. Well that was my experience today, May 2, 2021. This is highly irresponsible and puts us in a position to do last minute move, on our own: getting a truck and hustling friends and family to help us move because today is the last day at our apartment. Unless they had an act of God that prevented them from checking their Yelp messages, or to answer their call, there is absolutely zero excuse for this! If you are going to do business with this company, you better have a back up and assume they won't show and won't give you advance notice they won't show. I wish I did! read more

Affordable Movers - Movers Near Me

Manny, Tre, and Mike were awesome! They were hard-working and professional. They made our move go much more smoothly. They moved a lot of heavy furniture in a short time, and nothing was damaged in the process. They are worth every penny; I cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

Experience and quality services. I do highly recommend. A good group: Mannny, Esteban and Paul.

Affordable Movers were wonderful to work with. They were timely in arrival, very careful with our belongings and careful not to damage the real property at all, efficient, and overall very professional. We couldn't have asked for a smoother move; and the overall price was reasonable. We would absolutely recommend Affordable Movers to others. read more

James and his crew were wonderful. Communication was excellent, I never had to wait more than a few minutes for a response to my messages regarding my move. And when the day came to move my extremely full storage unit from an overpriced facility to a new unit across town, the three man crew showed up and went straight to work. They were very organized and prepared to move my belongings safely and securely. I would definitely recommend Affordable Movers to my family and friends. Thank you for all of your help!!! read more

I requested estimates for movers through Yelp. Thr estimates from everyone else were much higher and included minimums for driveway length, surcharges etc. James' was super responsive and answered all of my questions. The value for the price was exceptional. The two movers were polite and efficient, careful with my belongings. I'd recommend to anyone who needs to move or is relocating read more

Affordable Movers is great if you want to save money on your move. James is very responsive. The movers arrived on time and were fast and very efficient. My whole 2 bedroom apartment was moved within 3 hours. Everything was handled very gingerly and arrived with no issues. Minus two stars because the business is not COVID ready at all. Have extra masks ready in case your movers show up without. read more

Hard workers. Packed the truck nice and tight. Nothing damaged. No complaints. I would recommend to anyone.

They failed to annoy my neighbors. Which is a personal bummer. They gave me a heads up they were arriving early and I had to scrambled to find pants. They were too nice. Way too happy to talk and share music or a snack. Sooo accommodating. Asking me for each piece where I want it. My motto;Where it fits, it sits. They still made sure to check in and ask. I have moved 5 times in the last 9 years. These guys are Legit movers. Showed no signs of weird, creepy, or crackhead. Which is rare in this industry. read more

I cannot say enough about James and his team. First off, I had to re-schedule several times. James was more than accommodating.. Truly understanding. He communicated the day before the arrival to make sure everything was a go. Finally, when the team showed up, they were awesome. I called them " Chicago" and " Oakland" They had pleasant personalities and they took care of business. One of the drivers had allergies ( I have cats ) and instead of not being able to do the job, he got some medication and did his thang. DO NOT SLEEP ON AFFORDABLE MOVERS. You will regret going elsewhere. read more

James was very flexible and responsive to my needs. He was also very competitive even though I am well outside of his traditional service area. Damian and Mark were the movers and they were both professional, courteous and did a fantastic job. I could not believe the speed in which they completed my move. I couldn't say enough good stuff about them! Definitely recommend and truly appreciate their work. read more

These guys are great! They helped me with a small move and made an effort to stick to the quote so I was not charged a penny more than the estimate. The price was great for the excellent service they provide. James was really professional at coordinating the move and Damion and Rashad were my movers. Super fast, professional, and packed everything with care. They were friendly, nice and, personable. I will most definitely call them for my next move, large or small. If you want a no BS moving company, give Affordable Movers a call. You won't be sorry! read more

We requested a quote over Yelp and James replied very quickly. Was able to get into contact with him and set everything up within a few minutes. Donny (I think?) and Bruce did show up about 30 mins later than the scheduled time but we didn't really care. They very quickly wrapped everything up and took it down our THREE flights of stairs in 100°F weather. I didn't hear them complain once! There was also an issue with our bed frame assembly. The company we bought it from broke an allen wrench off into one of the screws. but bruce quickly resolved it! Nothing was damaged even though they were so quick. Really appreciate their help. Definitely worth the money if you can spare it and don't want to move your big furniture (especially on a hot day). Thanks affordable movers! read more

James, Trey and Veeto were wonderful. James communicated quickly, gave me a good price for my move, and sent the guys to my apartment on time. The guys were great. Trey and Veeto really worked as a team to pack up my apartment and load their truck in 3 hours. Trey even mounted my TVs and soundbar perfectly. Trey and Veeto made sure the beds, washer/dryer, and fridge were plugged into place. They're amazing and I would call them again for my next move! read more

Affordable Movers - 3 flights of stairs - Movers Near Me

Affordable Movers were the most responsive to my request. James replied promptly to each message and request. They were by far the best price without additional fees. The price quoted was the price paid. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Affordable Movers for your delivery needs! read more

Had them move 2 large sewing cabinets (220 & 180 pound units) and a 96 pound refrigerator. All three needed to go upstairs & it took them about 10 min! Well worth the $150 flat rate! Will definitely be keeping their number in my phone for any future projects! read more

Affordable movers were available last minute as our originally scheduled movers bailed on our job. They showed up (early), managed to carefully fit more than expected into their truck. They did this very fast while being extremely careful with our possessions. They unloaded everything into the house. Polite, responsive, and hard working. responded to my Yelp request very quickly, James gave me a great flat rate price no hidden charges. read more

Working with James on my moving project has been great. He has been very communicative and accommodating of my schedule and the price is very reasonable. I would definitely recommend using them to anyone. read more

Top notch service! Tre & Manny were very helpful during our move. They wrapped any furniture that could have been damaged in the move, and they transferred it with care. All of our fragile items that were in a box made it in one piece. Not a single item was damaged or broken during the move. On top of that, they were FAST! They are not trying to drag out the move to charge you more. Very honest and well-executed business. We will be using them for any future moves read more

I needed a couch and loveseat moved across town on pretty short notice. James was great about getting right back to me - I reached out for a quote and not even ten minutes later, I had all of the information I needed for my next-day move! The pricing was much more reasonable than I'd found with other companies in the area; most places require a three-hour minimum. James gave me a flat fee for the two crew members and the truck rather than pricing hourly, which makes so much more sense considering the short distance. He was helpful, communicative, and quick to respond to any follow-up questions I had leading up to the crew's arrival. They arrived on the later end of the estimated window (understandable, it's late in the day and I know traffic how can factor into things), but once they arrived they worked efficiently, delivering my furniture in tip-top shape. I was worried I'd have to figure out how to assemble the couches myself, but the guys had it done within minutes. Super friendly, great attitudes! Thanks so much for your help. tl;dr: Great experience, wouldn't hesitate to use them again. read more

This is an amazing company by far. I called them two months before my move to get everything set and scheduled. The owner is super nice and very straight forward, which I liked. The movers showed up on time, did an incredible job wrapping our furniture, and were nice and professional. Nothing was broken in our move, which the last company we used we had so much broken stuff. There was no damage done to any of my walls or doors, they were very careful and considerate of their surroundings. I highly recommend these guys for your upcoming move! read more

Fast, reliable, on time, no nonsense, reasonably priced. I'd hire these guys without a doubt if I need moving services in the future.

Excellent communication. Quick response. Reasonable price. On time. Friendly staff. Would recommend.

I used affordable movers twice this month when moving things from different apartments into one. Setting up and appointment was easy and their flexibility was great. The movers (James, Brian, and Darth) were super nice and worked so hard to get things moved for us. They brought their own supplies and even packed and sealed stuff for me so I could safely keep it in storage. No damage was done to any of my items. Communication with this company is through text and make sure you iron out all the details before the day of your move. I would definitely recommend Affordable Movers to others, and actually already have. read more

A great moving company in the Bay Area! They picked up at my storage in Benecia (took 50 minutes) then at the place I was staying in Vallejo. They were extremely quick to pack as well as take apart my bed frame! We then travelled to Patterson which was about 90 miles away. Then they unloaded even faster. AND set up the bed again. Joshua and James are a dynamic duo and really nice guys to talk to. I enjoyed getting a chance to talk to them while they were walking back and forth from the storage to the truck. I believe they were with us from 9 AM - 3 PM. The rate is very affordable which also included the truck and gas. I researched best practices for tipping then I tipped the guys on the higher suggested end per hour cause they were just so awesome. read more

These guys were awesome! They helped me move up to the 3rd floor, it was a difficult job and they were professionals. Very respectful of the building I moved into, wrapped all the furniture and protected all flooring. And they arrived early! Very reliable I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Movers showed up on time, and the move was very easy to schedule. Pricing was straight forward with no hidden fees which was appreciated The movers also had a good sense of humor which made the day go by fast Only hiccup was we noticed they put my kids trundle bed together backwards . I'm sure they would have corrected it if we noticed it before they left. They were super nice I would use this company again read more

Rashad and Tre were on time, funny and got my project done without any problems. Communication with owner James was prompt as well, reasonably priced. read more

They were super quick, moved our piano and large appliances and furniture along with a ton of boxes no problem. At the new place they got all our furniture in place where we wanted, including getting a piano around a corner and installing the appliances. Transporting from the old place to the new place just across town, they missed communicating that they would stop to get gas and caused a little anxiety when they weren't where we arrived despite leaving first, but otherwise they were great. read more

James and company moved us last sunday and they did an amazing job, it efficient and they took care of our stuff like it was there own. Very efficient and a great value for so services rendered. Would use them again and will definitly recommend. read more

I would leave 10 stars if I could. For starters, I asked for a quote from several movers and within 5 minutes James had replied. I waited for other quotes to trickle in but James beat them all by a mile. It was easy as pie to schedule it on short notice. Not only that but I called him back to reschedule to Sunday instead of Saturday because it was going to rain and James did not bat an eye. On the day of the move the 3 friendliest, careful, and hard working guys showed up on time and moved super fast. And that included a lot of heavy stuff (treadmill, exercise weight plates, a Bob XL, furniture, and all of my husband's tools--which is like a small Home Depot). Then they delivered it to a house that sits on top of the most inclined driveway I've ever seen. No problem for Trey, Bruce and Manny. They were fantastic! I will hire them all again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone I know. Great team. Thanks!!! read more

So happy I found this company. I had them move furniture and a piano. They took their time and did it right ensuring everything was safely packed and nothing was broken. Excellent response time and communication. We Highly recommend‼ ***** read more
