    30 year old stereo cabinet that has all matching components that was purchased new by family. The tape deck also destroyed
    Stephen G.

    The staff was courteous and on top of sending quotes and general communication. So I felt comfortable conducting business with them. I shipped expensive electronics, 300+ DVD's and a vintage stereo cabinet & matching equipment that hold very high sentimental value. When we discussed insurance we agreed on $500. This would not cover everything "especially the sentimental aspect" but we agreed that that was a solid number and the assured me they took all precautions. Well $589 later they had possession of my belongings. They were shipped to central Florida. When I arrived after my road trip and I went to pick everything up from my friends house that it was delivered the cabinet was absolutely destroyed! Some of the stereo components are rattling around. It was simply bubble wrapped and nothing more. There were no fragile stickers. No other protection. I called very upset and they said don't worry we will take care of it. Hours later I get an email from someone I have never talked too saying there was no insurance and that they encased it in foam and had fragile stickers. I was livid due to them long to me!! I unwrapped it and ZERO protection and there were NO fragile stickers. Unfortunately I found the paper work today and they in fact put $0 for insurance.. Unbelievable!!! I thought maybe they looked at the wrong paperwork but nope!! I take fault for not looking over the paperwork before I left my items in their hands. I was under a lot of stress with the move and really kick myself for not seeing this!! I even asked them twice before hand about the coverage! Idk if it was a clerical error or they took it off because they felt they were loosing money because after they weighed it they said that it was a tad more weight but they would honor the quote. Weather they accidentally forgot to add it or they did it maliciously idk.. However to Lie to me about how they packed it!! I understand we all make mistakes but to outright LIE about the way it was packed makes me think the insurance was taken off and kept my price the same for them to cover the difference. I would have absolutely paid more for the insurance!! I did so with my TV when I shipped it USPS. Do NOT go with them! You will regret it!!!! A month later I must add! They mysteriously have a rave review from a no named individual about the time my truthful ripping of them is posted. Don't be fooled!!! I guarantee its one of the employees with a false review! Check their B.B.B complaints.. I am not the only one to post a complaint there!

    We used The Rock Movers for our move from California to Texas after speaking with several moving…read morecompanies, and I'm so glad we chose them. They are a direct moving company, not brokers, and everything they promised was honored. They gave us a flat rate and there were no surprise fees, even though loading took much longer than originally estimated. Pickup and delivery were both punctual, and Sergei, the driver and lead, was there from start to finish overseeing the whole move. The crew was careful with wrapping, disassembling, transporting, and reassembling everything, even with a second-floor apartment, lots of stairs, and tight turns. Nothing was damaged. Maria and Liza in the office were patient with all my questions and very helpful. Alex handled the in-home estimate and explained the flat-rate setup clearly. In the end, the estimate was accurate and the terms discussed were honored. Sergei was truly a pleasure to work with and made us feel at ease throughout the move. Moving cross-country is stressful, but The Rock made the actual move feel smooth and trustworthy. I would absolutely recommend them.

The day before the move I received a confirmation call. Dmitry and Andrei showed up on time with the big white truck. Our one bedroom/ one bath upstairs apartment had 65-70 boxes in addition to normal furniture. The destination for drop had an elevator. These guys worked non-stop and fast while carefully wrapping furniture with plastic and furniture pads. Boxes upon boxes were stacked and moved out. The guys were friendly and professional. This was not their first rodeo and it showed. They were on a mission! We led them to the destination and they efficiently brought everything into the new unit, unwrapped and placed all the contents of the former home. 4.25 hours later and the moving nightmare was completed. Everything appears to be in tip top shape. They even offered to have us look in the truck to be sure nothing was left behind. Thorough and again, professional. We didn't have to deal with "sticker shock" and unexpected up charges. We have no idea how these guys can do what they do but we thank them wholeheartedly. Tips were deserved. We read the Yelp reviews and they add up to our experience. We have already referred someone to them. We'd have zero reservations to refer anyone in the future!

    I am long overdue in writing this review, but after 7 moves in the last 5 years, I can confidently…read moresay that Little Guy Big Truck Moving is the best in the business. Because of my job, I've had to move between Southern and Northern California (and vice versa) and within SoCal for both long-distance and short local relocations. Every single time, I have relied on them heavily to pack my entire household one day and move me the next. The logistics are always seamless thanks to Jennifer, who handles the scheduling and details perfectly. On the ground, Aurelio and his team are incredible--they are extremely reliable, friendly, and always arrive right on time. What really sets them apart is their expertise with fragile items. I've watched them work, and they are masters at "moving Tetris." They wrap every piece of furniture securely in padded blankets and shrink wrap to prevent any scratches or dings. For my most delicate items--like kitchenware, electronics, and artwork--they use a meticulous multi-layer approach with high-quality packing paper and bubble wrap. They are strategic about loading the truck, ensuring heavy items are at the base and my fragile boxes are safely secured on top or in "buffer zones" so nothing shifts or gets crushed during the long drive between NorCal and SoCal.Plus, they stay organized by labeling every box with the correct room and using 'Fragile' or 'Handle with Care' stickers wherever needed. They are such hardworking, sweet people who never ask for much, though I'd highly recommend having some cold water on hand for them during those hot summer move days. If you want a team that treats your "life's savings" with genuine care, look no further. They've made a stressful process easy for me seven times over! Thanks Jennifer,Aurelio and team!

I first reached out to them on Yelp and then began communicating with them over text message. They responded promptly to my messages. I reached out to at least 5 other moving companies and Little Guy's rate made the most sense, they didn't charge additional fees like an administrative fee or random fees that other companies do. They charged me 120/hr cash or 130/cc. Two movers arrived to my home right on time, it was great. In the past, other moving companies have arrived late. The two men (Mr. L and Mr. E) who assisted me with my move were friendly and professional. They did a wonderful job wrapping my furniture and making sure all my items were secure. I thought their pace was fair and efficient. Mr. L and Mr. E worked hard and it was truly appreciated. Jan 2026: I hired this moving company again and they did a great job. I had a problem with my storage unit key which made us run late but both Jennifer (admin) and Mr. A were so understanding. I felt terrible that I messed up with not having my storage key but the team was so kind. The move was quick and efficient. Both movers were friendly. One of the movers did look very young though. On a side note, their prices did increase by $10, I believe. I would 100% recommend this moving company and will be using their services in the future.

    AVOID PLYMOUTH AT ALL COSTS!…read more I had booked my move from California to Nebraska through safe Ship moving services. They were very nice and thorough and their people were incredibly communicative as I prepared for my move. Once I was handed over to Plymouth is when the issues began. Safe ship had promised me a morning pickup of my items but Plymouth didn't arrive until nearly 6:30 PM. I will say, they were incredibly efficient once they had arrived - getting my things packed and out the door in just over an hour. My biggest issue came when my things were dropped off in Nebraska. They called me day-of to say that they were dropping my things when I was supposed to have advance notice. When I pushed back, they said that they had been trying to contact me and my sister (who was there to supervise the California items being picked up) for two days. I had never received a call before then and my sister simply received a call the day before with a voicemail that said "we will be there in 30 minutes for delivery." - no 24 hour notice at all from either end. They were incredibly rude and told me that if I waited another day, I would need to pay $600 on top of my remaining balance. So, I found a family member who could be there for me at pickup and told them it was fine. Onn top of this, they shook me down for an extra $300 as an "elevator and long carry fee" when the items were dropped off. This came as a complete shock - especially because when they had picked up from my apartment in California, they had to go up multiple flights of stairs and they didn't charge me anything extra. For your sanity and your wallet, do not hire Plymouth and do not book through safe ship.

I was given 1 weeks notice to vacate the property I was at for 8 years! I only had one day off this week and needed to be out on that day the 1st. Also, by short notice, I'm talking the day of the move! I was going to just rent a uhaul and do it myself. That is until the reality of the move set in while staying up all night packing. What stands out the most in my dire need was they were there to help, displaying professionalism and efficiency throughout the process. Felipe, who runs the company, was incredibly accommodating and understanding of my needs. He ensured that every aspect of the move was taken care of, relieving much of the stress that comes with relocating. Angel, who assisted with the move, was a true gem. He worked tirelessly and with a positive attitude, making sure everything was handled with care. Another thing that stood out the most was their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. Not only did they complete the move seamlessly, but they also went above and beyond by assisting with furniture assembly and placement in my new home. Overall, I highly recommend The Moving Squad for anyone in need of a reliable, efficient, and customer-focused moving service. I know that if I ever require relocation services again or anyone asks for a reference, then without hesitation, I'm recommending The Moving Squad! Felipe and his team's dedication and professionalism truly made my moving experience a breeze in a not so easy fiasco of a situation!

The furniture was only a small dresser, a small TV, 8 pieces of artwork, and 6 boxes. The moving squad was willing to work with me and actually saved me well over $100. They were fast, friendly, and showed up right on time. They packaged and padded everything and got my dad moved in record time. And the move was on a Saturday. To say I was happy with the Moving Squad is an understatement. These guys hustle and will save you money, no matter what day of the week you choose to move. Highly recommended fro big or small moving jobs. These guys will be my go to company for now on.
