We were actually referred to them through U-Haul. After 10 years it was time to move out of a 1400sf 3br+, 2ba house. I guess we had a lot more stuff than I thought as the truck we rented ended up being completely packed from floor to ceiling (and front to back) using what I can only describe as some amazing pro Tetris skills. These guys took a look over the house analyzing everything that had to go into the truck and maximized the space efficiency at speed. It didn't matter how big/heavy/awkward the furniture - these guys worked together to make it happen at blazing speed. Stairs were not a problem either. I've moved a few times and I'd never seen anything like this especially for the price. I even hired them for a 2nd job of removing the 10 years of accumulated junk that we weren't taking. I will most definitely 100% hire these guys again and recommend them to anyone looking for a moving assist.

Busy Birds helped me move across town and did a great job. The two guys (sorry, I forgot your…read morenames, fellas) were professional and personable. They worked carefully and efficiently. I imagine they're great at Tetris because they filled the truck to the brim with 1bed/1bath + garage worth of stuff with 0 damage. The whole process from loading, to transport, to unloading took just under their 3-hour minimum (I was expecting 4). Would recommend for your moving needs!

I look forward to working with Stacey in the future and would not hesitate to hire her again.

In the meantime, I needed movers to extract a few items for my temporary housing set-up. Not knowing anyone out here, I asked Broad St Storage (who I also highly recommend) and they put me in contact with The Moving Experience. The 2 gentlemen assigned to my job were friendly, courteous, and had the utmost respect for my property. It wasn't easy getting the items I needed out, but they managed to do it with precision and care. While the move here was stressful, I'm so glad to say my dealings with The Moving Experience were anything but.

This was by far the most unprofessional and abusive moving company I have ever dealt with, and I implore you AVOID this company at all costs. If you want your items and furniture to be taken care of and arrive UNDAMAGED or ARRIVE AT ALL (as they did not for me), HIRE ANY OTHER MOVING COMPANY!! They do not care about you or your belongings. Here's a snapshot of my experience: I hired them to move my belongings from San Luis Obispo to San Francisco. From the very beginning in San Luis Obispo, the movers did not use blankets, padding, or any materials to meaningfully protect my items. I watched them place my dresser, nightstand, bed frame, and other wood furniture DIRECTLY onto the concrete sidewalk, then stack everything in the truck bare. By the time my items were delivered in San Francisco, nearly every major piece of furniture was damaged. My dresser and nightstand had multiple chips and scratches, my bed frame and headboard were gouged, my refrigerator had a large dent, and my picture frames were scuffed and chipped, and ripped, some of them irreplaceable. In addition to the damage, some of my belongings never arrived. My rug and lampshade are still missing to this day. During delivery, the movers also brought out items that did not belong to me, including a mattress and multiple framed pictures. I informed them immediately that the mattress was not mine and it was removed, but I was left with another customer's picture frame. This raises serious concerns for me about how customers' property was being handled. The most egregious part of this move occurred during delivery in San Francisco. After the movers arrived, saw the apartment, and began unloading, they did not raise any issue or mention any additional charges. However, halfway through unloading, they demanded an additional $412 via a Change Order and refused to continue carrying my belongings upstairs unless I signed and paid immediately. I was told my items would be left in the lobby if I did not agree. This happened in the middle of the move, after a significant portion of my belongings had already been brought into the apartment. I felt I had no practical choice but to sign in order to complete delivery, and I believe the way this fee was imposed mid-move was misleading, coercive, and improper. When I politely pointed out some of the damage, one of the movers, became hostile. He shouted at me, saying "F*** you man, I'm done," before storming out of my apartment. He left my mattress lying on the floor and the headboard loose and improperly installed. The other mover offered minimal help before also leaving, but the job was incomplete and I was left to deal with the situation on my own. After the move, I tried multiple times to reach the company's manager, Kevin, who was my main point of contact. I left several voicemails explaining that I wanted to discuss the serious issues I had faced. He never called me back--and has yet to do so. Adding insult to injury, before all of this, when I asked to reschedule my delivery from Sunday to Monday, which happened to be Labor Day, the company agreed no problem but sent me a text saying, "Yes, we can do that, no problem, but please tip our guys well as they'll be giving up their Labor Day." Asking for a tip in advance of service is highly unprofessional. I would happily tip for a job well done, but this could not have been more of a disastrous move. In the end, my total charges increased from the original $2,100 "Not to Exceed" estimate to $2,500 after the mid-move Change Order. My belongings were damaged and some items were missing, one of the movers verbally berated me and left the job incomplete, and I was required to sign and pay an additional fee in the middle of unloading in order to complete delivery. The company has since failed to meaningfully communicate directly with me. I have filed formal complaints with the Better Business Bureau and the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services. This company's conduct during my move was reckless and abusive, and in my experience highly misleading. If you value your belongings, your money, or your peace of mind, I strongly recommend choosing another company. I have attached photos showing the lack of protection and the resulting damage so others can make an informed decision.

They followed all of my instructions carefully and made sure my belongings--especially fragile and breakable items--were packed securely and with great care. What stood out most was how thoughtful they were throughout the process. With kids in the home, they made sure everything stayed safe and organized while they worked, which gave me so much peace of mind. They arrived right on time, worked quickly, and even finished earlier than expected. I scheduled them for three hours, and they got everything done in just two. Tyson was especially helpful--he went above and beyond by offering useful moving advice and pointing out a few things I should consider packing separately or taking care of before the actual move. That kind of insight was incredibly helpful during what can be a stressful process. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the service and would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing packing assistance. They made this part of the moving process so much easier, and I'll definitely be using them again for the move itself.

If you want to pay double for a move, this is your place. It all started when the general manager…read moreJay came out to our house, and told us we would need three guys for three hours and recommended a pod size for us to put our goods in. Also, I needed to add that we asked for someone that was experienced in moving a piano. On the day of the move, two men showed up. No one knew how to move a piano. The two guys were not fast moving movers. They spent so much time wrapping our goods in plastic. The two guys were at our home for over eight hours. They had no boxes to move. We had done that previously all this was wrapping a furniture and putting it in a pod. The pod probably held about 3/4 of our furniture so we were then stuck with a second date to move the rest into a storage. So now we're paying for a pod monthly charge and 2 moves. It was totally overwhelming, and apparently Jay the general manager is a horrible estimator. So now it's move-in time and we're stuck with Central Coast having some of our goods in their warehouse so now we're paying again for them to move the stuff that he told us was originally gonna fit in our pod so it's a three hour minimum and two guys. Paid for a third move so now it's time for them to pick up their pod. They quoted us $475 originally for the pod return, but now they've added on a $200 restocking fee for their moving blankets. This company nickels and dimes the crap out of you. Do yourself a favor and call meathead movers they were way more. Efficient worked hard didn't charge us for travel time and gave us what they said.
