I have had a terrible experience with Esteemed Movers, but I can tell from other negative reviews…read morethat posting about it will only get me attacked by the owners. My attempts to speak with them about it have not been successful. So I offer only this: according to the US DOT website, they are currently operating without insurance and are not authorized for the out-of-state move they took my deposit for. You can verify this by going to the USDOT website and entering the USDOT number listed on the bottom of Esteemed Movers website. (I've attached the screenshots from 3/29/22.) My guess is that while they are great movers, someone in the office is overwhelmed and not taking care of the business side of things. (And yes, Sharon, you are correct. You don't have a Dee M. on your books because I use a nickname here on Yelp and I booked in my legal name.)

When he arrived at our storage unit He told my wife that "this was the worst move I've ever made". Upon unpacking our items we found multiple broken things, not a big deal. After contacting Esteemed (or lack there of) movers to start a moving claim they began to ignore us. Like I said we moved in October, it is currently the end of June and I am still waiting to hear from them after multiple attempts to contact them to be reimbursed. Other issues: They showed up to start packing at 9am and didn't finish until 2am. Boxes where mislabled/not labeled at all. They had to pack items in the morning because they where thrown in a pile in our garage. Our toilet plunger was packed in my weber grill with our egg container.

The crew was extremely efficient and got the job done without pause. They are cost effective and upfront about their pricing, which can be rare with moving companies. Hoping not to move again anytime soon, but if we do we will definitely be hiring these guys!

However, we had one big problem that overshadows the rest of the experience. Our movers arrived with a smaller truck than expected and thus didn't have room to fit everything in one trip. Despite this being no fault of our own, we then had to pay for an extra hour and extra drive time for having to make two trips! We were told that the bigger truck had issues with its power steering and that was why they had to bring the smaller truck, which would have been fine if everything had still fit, but why do we have to pay more for something that was completely out of our control?!? We were promised a truck that would accommodate a two bedroom apartment. That's not to say that everything was bad. In fact, the first half of the move was great! The movers arrived a little late but I'm always running behind schedule myself so it wasn't an issue and they called to tell me that they were about 30 minutes behind schedule. Once they arrived, they got busy right away. I was amazed at how quickly they were able to clear the boxes. The guys were constantly on the move for the entire two hours that it took to clear out our apartment of all the big boxes and furniture. We had already decided to focus the two hours on the biggest items in order to stay within our three hour time window and that we would move the smaller, leftover items in our cars later in the day. All was going well and we were staying on track to finish in the allotted three hour window until we found out that the truck was full and we'd have to make a second trip for the handful of bigger items that we had left. Had we had the bigger truck, everything would have fit and we would have saved about 45 minutes by not making the second drive from Carmel Valley to Mira Mesa. Basically, because the smaller truck didn't accommodate our things, we had to pay an extra $280 on top of our Groupon price ($200). It was an extra $160 for the additional hour and we were charged for two drives instead of one. What started as such a promising moving day ended up being a frustrating experience that more than doubled the anticipated cost of our move. While I'd love to recommend Skinny Wimp based on their hustle, I can't due to the way that the business was handled.

UPDATE: after my review was placed, the driver tried to call me first thing in the morning. I had…read moreno desire whatsoever to talk to him. Finally after calling the business multiple times I got to speak to the owner. Who's response was "I know the guys did a horrible job" he said he would reimburse me for the stained mattress, I didn't realize until days later that they damaged my washer, and also to call a carpet cleaning company to remove the stains from the carpet and he'd also reimburse me for that. Well I mailed everything and I never got reimbursed. Companies like this one are just too much of a hassle to deal with. I just don't have the time and energy to deal with greedy people.

MOVERS BEWARE!!!…read more Please do not use this company. Please, please, please. I am an Air Force military member and have moved many times in the past few years from California to Arizona, Arizona to Germany, Germany to Arizona, Arizona to Tennessee and plenty of times around the city and around the world. Out of all the times that I have moved, even when I had my items shipped from overseas I have never had any broken/ dented items. It took the movers 2.25 hours to load items that took .75 hrs to unload. I was not only penalized by my property management company for exceeding my 5pm time limit but also charged for their extra hour of services. This company showed up with three men when I had initially requested two. I don't have a lot of things since I lived in a 600 sq ft apartment and I had previously packed all of my items in boxes with the exception of my wardrobe items because I read in a post below that the boxes were to be provided for an easy move. When the men got there only one man was working which was Artemas the driver/owner which he took a lengthy time wrapping up all my furniture in plastic and moving blankets; the second mover was moving boxes out slowly out the complex and the 3rd mover was doing god knows what inside the truck. After 2 hrs of seeing no progress with the move I got so frustrated I had to call for extra help from my brother. When 4pm hit I had to tell the men to stop and to head out to the new complex to avoid extra penalties. At this point they were only half way done with my 600 sq ft living space items. As I was leaving my complex I noticed my fire extinguisher was damaged/ broken in the ground and was brushed behind a door to hide the evidence. I took a picture of this to document. We arrived at the complex and as we arrived the property manager offer to help unload to help speed things up and get out on time. The movers were helpless I still ended up moving and doing heavy lifting myself and inconveniencing others which is why people hire movers to avoid these issues. When the property manager saw the items that were inside the truck he commented that he couldn't believe it took them 3hrs to move the little bit of items that were loaded in the truck. We unloaded all the items in 45 minutes which incurred just the same distance back and forth from truck to property along with elevator included. Horror doesn't end there. As we unwrapped the items to hand back the blankets i noticed a huge dent on the side of my wooden bar. I pointed that out to them and asked if i was going to be reimbursed for the damages. Artemas, responded defensively and said that neither him or his men did it without even asking his men. When I asked him to stop speaking for his men and let them speak he asked his men in a demeaning manner if they had made the damages. None of them admitted to the damage and then said that I did the damage when I was unloading the bar from the truck and that he was not liable for it. I told him I would file a complaint at a later date and would contact the company, but I guess I am Shit Out of Luck since he is the owner of course there is no need to fear being liable for things. They also at end of the move made us return the wardrobe boxes so i ended flipping all my clothes upside down to on the floors of my bedrooms to get them out as soon as possible. This issue will be directed to the Better Business Bureau for any disciplinary actions on this business. But for now please beware of this company. I would suggest to go with a different company to avoid any physically, emotionally, and financially heartache.

Communication was easy, signing up was easy...Invoice was easy to understand. The quick confirmation of meet up was easy. The day they showed up to help was even easy.

This could have been a horrible day if it wasn't for the the right team! Everyone's positive and hardworking attitudes ceased to amaze us! We all worked as a team, and it only added 1.5-2 hours overall. Considering what it could have been this was a miracle. We basically did a double move.
