    Broken lava lamp
    Molly W.

    Optimal helped us move within LA. We had 3 movers for a fairly full 1 bedroom apartment which took 7.5 hours. They were quick and efficient but unfortunately we still had an item broken immediately after I asked them to be careful moving and packaging the items on a shelf. There were lamps sitting on a bookshelf that fell and broke as they began to push it. The shattered item left a mess of glass fragments and liquid around the apartment and didn't offer help cleaning it up. They also started to drag the bookshelf through the mess and I had to ask them to stop and wait so my partner and I could clean it up. They offered to pay for only half the broken item most move. Overall they were still some of the better movers I've had in Los Angeles but I'd recommend emphasizing to the main member of their crew what all fragile items need extra attention to their care. I'd recommend them still despite the issue.

    They've solved every moving problem I've run into.

    OKAY. Optimal Movers has been a life saver for me. Any job that I was told couldn't be done - they've done it. Everyone is so helpful, and happy to do it! John is super responsive, flexible with timing, and never leaves a job unfinished. I've called them a number of times since we've moved into our new home & they've always exceeded my expectations. I'm never calling anyone else again - seriously. Idk what I'd do without them.

    John and his partner came on time and worked efficiently. I originally was considering another moving company that was offering a lower hourly rate, but don't be fooled because there are a lot of hidden costs with those other companies. Optimal Movers had very straight forward pricing for my move: 85/hr 3 hr minimum. There were no hidden admin , truck or misc fees. It should be noted that I had my own boxes & used my own bubble wrap for fragile items. Optimal movers helped me pack all my items into a tight storage space, they were both professional and pleasant!

    Got a groupon for three hours and they moved my 2 bed 2 bath in less time than that. Really friendly and the company allowed me to change my moving time three times when my new place wasn't ready in time. Would definitely use them again.

    I got a very reasonable quote from the manager, John, and kept in contact by email until the day of the move.

They were professional, efficient, careful, and impressively fast while still taking great care of our belongings. They safely moved an extremely heavy marble table without issue, and at the very end of the move we asked them to maneuver a very large, heavy dresser through a narrow hallway in our newly renovated home. They somehow managed to do it safely without damaging the walls, floors, or furniture. I was honestly amazed watching them work. What stood out most was their attitude throughout the entire process. Even when delays and complications came up outside of their control, they stayed calm, solution-oriented, and hardworking the entire day. I almost wished they would take longer breaks because of how nonstop they worked. They were also very transparent about pricing, which was fair, and communication throughout the process was excellent. Also, please feed your movers during lunch and ask if they have any allergies or dietary restrictions. This crew absolutely deserved it. After this experience, they'll definitely be our go-to movers moving forward, and we'll gladly recommend them to our family and friends. Highly recommend.

I…read moredon't usually leave reviews on Yelp. but I was really blown away by just how good this company has been to me and my family. When I first made my move in between cities in SoCal, we found Prodigy through Yelp and we were very glad we use them. Because we had such a good experience when we made another move a few years later we reached out to them again. Due to unforeseen circumstances, our move out date and packing dates had to be changed multiple times, but Iliya worked with us patiently to help find us a crew within just a few days that was able to move us out efficiently and conveniently. Carlos and his moving crew were superb and worked quickly, with a positive attitude, and were willing to accommodate a lot of our requests. If we move again in the future we would definitely be reaching out to Prodigy again.

I finally went with my gut and chose the company I believed could do the best job at a competitive price. Prodigy was the clear winner, and it worked out to be the right decision. Iliya, the operations manager, was very knowledgeable and communicative throughout the entire moving process. Carlos was the foreman on moving day and ran a tight ship with his team. Everyone knew their roles and worked hard throughout the day to make it a pleasant moving experience. My furniture was delivered the following morning, and the team lead that day was Leo. His team did a fantastic job as well. I have a special shout-out for Lalo. This guy was amazing and made my overall moving experience over the top. He made sure my wife and I were 150% satisfied. Our furniture was placed exactly where we wanted it, and he maintained a positive and professional demeanor throughout the entire day. Everyone I encountered from Prodigy was exceptional. These guys deserve five stars, without question!

    Exceptional Service - Highly Recommend Robert & His Team!…read more I cannot say enough good things about my recent experience with Trek Movers. Moving is usually incredibly stressful, but Robert and his team made the entire process absolutely seamless. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, efficient, and incredibly careful with all of my belongings. Here is what stood out the most: - Punctual & Hardworking: They arrived right on time and didn't waste a single minute. - Expert Handling: Everything--from fragile boxes to heavy furniture--was wrapped securely and handled with the utmost care. Not a single item was damaged. - Fantastic Attitude: Robert and his crew were friendly, polite, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was placed exactly where I wanted it in my new home. If you are looking for a moving company that is reliable, honest, and does an excellent job from start to finish, ask for Robert's team. I will absolutely be using Trek Movers for any future moves!

They moved my stuff in record time and took care of everything really well. However.... after the move, some shiesty things happened. They said that they couldn't take a credit card and would only accept Zelle, but charged me the credit card price which is $20 more per hour. The owner tried to say that there's some sort of fees, but there are no fees for Zelle. The difference was well over $200 so this is why they're getting three stars and almost got two. As a business owner, I can't really refer them just for this reason.

I called up Ian's movers and Ann extremely quick with her responses and offered me a quote. Eddie communicated well with me regarding the moving process: And 3 days later, Andrii and Vladimir were there to help my move back into my apartment. Theyre less expensive than a lot of the companies i inquired with but require a 3 hour minimum, which is standard for most moving companies in the area. I don't have much stuff, so I was a little worried they might milk the time and go over the 3 hours. But Andrii and Vladimir were extremely nice, quick, efficient, and gentle with my things. They send photos during the process of any already broken/scuffed things to make sure you're aware (and to also cover their own asses I'm sure) They finished loading and unloading a 1br apartment in 2 hours. I highly recommend and will call them again whenever I get I new place!

The next day, they arrived in Vegas to unpack. They were quick, professional, and very personable! Would recommend. Vadim has been great! Thank you sooooo much for making our move seamless. *Updating a day later, after fully unpacking.* My husband and I started unpacking as the movers were still moving things. We noticed three plates, a bowl, and a ramekin had been broken. We also noticed damage to our son's play kitchen. It was still functional, but broken. We were going to let it slide because we understand that things happen, but after we've fully unpacked, there were multiple vases that were broken in one box which held value and I am pretty upset about this. So maybe just some advice going forward, be more strategic with the way that you pack things.

    Outstanding Moving Experience!…read more I recently used this moving company and couldn't be more grateful for the experience. From the first phone call to the final box being placed in my new space, the entire team was professional, organized, and incredibly kind. Moving can be stressful, but they made the whole process feel smooth and manageable. The crew arrived on time, handled every item with care, and worked efficiently without ever making me feel rushed. They treated my furniture and personal belongings as if they were their own, making sure everything was protected and transported safely. What truly stood out was their positive attitude and willingness to go the extra mile. They were respectful, hardworking, and genuinely committed to making sure everything went perfectly. If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy moving company that delivers great service with a smile, I highly recommend them. Thank you again for making my move such a great experience! Cruz and Ron were GREAT!! I did price other companies. This seemed like a great value. Especially for cash payments.

It was my first time using Five Star and I was basing my interest off of other Yelp reviews. You read good reviews but you never know. Well, they made the move seamless and stress-free. From the first inquiry and quote to the booking and moving day, the entire process was great. There are follow-up emails, a personal link to the quote with the contract and a breakdown of all costs and the "fine print" is easy to follow and understand. No scamming or surprise charges. You get a call the day before from the dispatch confirming your move and the movers call you on the day when they're on their way to give you a more accurate ETA. Kay was friendly and a total professional. She explained everything really well and answered all my questions. Tons of value for a long distance move (Palm Springs to Los Angeles area). The move was for my 89-year-old mom and Kay made me feel secure and confident about the service. The two men that showed up on moving day were rockstars. I feel like a jerk for not writing down their names. They were so nice and went above and beyond to help me get my mom settled in. They were so nice to my mom. I can't say enough good things because this was one of the easiest moves I've ever experienced. I did all the packing, I am super organized, and we were prepared for them, so I cannot speak to the more all-inclusive service, but the guys did wrap furniture, hang my mom's clothes in their wardrobe boxes, and carolled odds and ends, and they did it all with care. Good pricing and customer service.
