    Chipped dining table
    Jared L.

    I used Oz Movers for my move from Los Angeles to San Diego. During the delivery into my ground floor apartment one of the younger inexperienced movers was attempting to carry a large marble dining table top himself without any assistance. As he walked through the front door he dropped it on the floor resulting in a 1.5" by 1.5" chip on the top edge of the table. When I asked the foreman in charge of the move if the table just cracked he assured me it was wrapped and would be protected. After about 30 minutes, the foreman unwrapped the table and noticed the damage. He asked me if maybe the damage was already present when they picked up the table but I assured him it was not. When he found the pieces that had broken off wrapped in the moving blankets, he acknowledged that the drop had indeed damaged the table top. While setting up my 65" television the following day, I noticed that the screen was covered in fingerprints and that 1/3 of the screen had been shattered as a result of the movers holding it by the glass front. During the unpacking process, I had noticed two of the movers carrying it around and leaning it up against the furniture. The costs of the move was almost $5,000, the cost to replace the table top from Room & Board was a little over $1,600, and the flatscreen tv was recently purchased for $1,100. In total the move and damages amounted to $7,700. When I contacted Oz Movers to let them know about the damage, they explained that they only cover $0.60 per pound regardless of whether the damage was caused by the negligence of their movers. I explained to the claims managers that the movers broke two of the largest and most expensive items and that $0.60 per pound would not only fall short of the cost to repair/replace the items, but that I had been charged more than that simply for moving the two broken items. My claim was submitted on 7/11 and after a 2 phone calls and an email I was advised today 7/22 that I would be getting a check for $300. I cannot express how disappointed I am with Oz Movers for not taking reasonability for the carelessness and negligence of their movers. If you do decide to use them, I would recommend paying extra for premium insurance that covers replacement costs as it is expected that they will break your items.

    Oz Moving & Storage destroyed $3100 worth of our possessions. Oz improperly packed our TV and the screen was bent and cracked upon delivery. They broke our toddler daughter's bed frame, and crushed the mattress -- all of which were essentially brand new. This was the sloppiest move I have ever seen. Boxes were crushed during transit, and they packed items improperly. I would never use Oz again and I'm in the process of reporting them to the Better Business Bureau. The company failed to do its basic job. If I could give them 0 stars I would. What is most sad is that they won't reimburse us for the items because we only had basic insurance. However, this was not a dish or lamp breaking by accident, this was our daughter's bed and our TV completely destroyed by improper packing, which was their responsibility. Added 9/5/23: in response to Nancy's comment, I believe it's important to note that the damages were caused by negligence and the failure of the company to do its basic job (moving possessions safely), not a result of a box falling or other accidents that might require insurance. They simply did not do their job.

    Mouse droppings

    Let me start off by saying, Ingrid, Israel, and the delivery guys are wonderful. They're friendly and very helpful. The owners and the management however suck. I was with them for 5 years and have never felt so cheated in my life! I received my sofa with mouse droppings under the cushions, my mattress was exposed with the shrink wrap ripped in many spots (mind you, I was told it was shrink wrapped and kept in a "mattress box") and on top of that one of my boxes had a moth family happily chewing away at my clothes! They also had the audacity to offer to dump those items for an extra 300-something dollars!! I eventually got them to take them for no additional charge, but are you kidding me?! Such a nightmare experience. This is a poorly run business and I would never recommend them to anyone. Save your money and go somewhere else.

    I really wanted this moving company to be great. They came highly recommended from a friend who used them to move across country twice, so I figured I would give them a shot moving from LA to Nashville. The guy who did the estimate was nice and gave a price a little lower than other quotes I got, so I went with him. He said he estimated a higher box count than we had since it always tends to be higher than you expect come moving day. Well moving day came, and the movers packed up everything, and at the end they said we owed $1500 more than the estimate! I can understand a few hundred more, but $1500 more means you gave a bad estimate! Strike #1. Then when it came time for our stuff to arrive, their estimates were wrong again. The driver called us and said it would come Saturday, then Friday, then Sunday. Well on Sunday afternoon, another local moving company they contracted the job out to called and said they would arrive on Tuesday now. Try spending 4 days with nothing but an air mattress and folding chairs and 2 pets. See how your back feels. Strike #2. When they finally did arrive on Tuesday (hours later than they said they would), we saw the condition of our things...and they were utterly trashed. Most boxes were pretty roughed up and a few were even ripped open with items sticking out! It is such a horrible and gut wrenching feeling seeing your life's possessions treated with such disregard and disrespect. Strike #3. Obviously some items were damaged, including the ones we had them pack! Our big screen tv: smashed. A cherished painting by a local artist: ripped and scuffed. A few wine glasses and picture frames, I can understand. What I don't understand is how they managed to lose an entire wardrobe box full of my clothes! Just vanished into thin air, or so they would have me believe. There were even 2 items that were missing from boxes that arrived. How does that happen?! Strike #4. I filed a claim and received a check for only a fraction of the value of the damaged items. But this was expected since I only purchased the 60 cents per pound insurance. I will say, their claims person was very nice and helpful and they even gave me a little more money than they had to. Probably because they knew how badly they screwed up this move. Do yourself a favor, spend a little more money on a Pod and some local movers. The stress and heartache of dealing with this company is just not worth it. In 11 years of using Yelp, this is only my second review. I am writing this because I felt so compelled to warn fellow movers of the perils of this company.

    Cracked and pulled apart speakers

    DO NOT USE OZ Crazy everyone! After I posted my experience, I received a call from Oz. They refused to email me after I requested the message in writing. I kid you not, she said, "We were prepared to give you more money because we cannot argue that mistakes happened but now that you have posted on Yelp, 'they' in California have no motivation to give you anything beyond .60 cents for every pound. Damage is already done." I repeated my previous concerns and what the movers said about it being their fault and she said, "they are movers, they will say anything". What!? So, now the problem is the movers are bad at their jobs and cannot be trusted. I asked for at least partial refund of what I paid. We hung up and she never reached out again. I received a check today for .60 cents for every pound. Folks - I received $328.20 for thousands of dollars of damage because I shared my experience on yelp. That is retaliation and it's unethical. I suppose, more than feeling loss, I am disappointed in the lack of integrity and care. Moving is stressful enough - who needs to spend weeks trying to get money to rebuy the stuff that you worked hard to own in the first place? Yuck! Yikes Oz! I am not cashing my check and urge Oz to make a better choice aligned with their owner story on Yelp which focuses on providing good and equitable service. Left a couple of our photos to share the experience. Never have had this level of damage before.

    Oz is the ABSOLUTE WORST. The have zero pride in what they do and couldn't care less that furniture was trashed by them. I had them store my furniture for 6 months and then deliver from LA to San Francisco. Almost all of my furniture arrived damaged, with 2 lamps, a coffee table, and bar cart completely trashed. They used tape directly on the furniture, pulled items apart and put them back together incorrectly. They lost screws and put my dining table back together with screws missing, which I only discovered when I was going over all my furniture on hands and knees, cleaning the mess they made. They also lost a screw for the media console. At least they told me about this one. But seriously, hiding missing hardware??? The movers gouged the wall in my new apartment. Literally rolled furniture up the stairs. They didn't care at all how they handled the furniture. Oz's response is that I elected the 60 cent per pound of furniture insurance, their responsibility was only $325 for furniture that cost over $5,000. I had to pay a different company to remove all the broken furniture. Oz's level of care amounts to malpractice given that moving and storage is their business. They blame the customer for not buying extra insurance, but the point is that one shouldn't have to buy extra insurance! A client should have a reasonable expectation that their furniture would arrive in the same condition in which it departed. One can understand a few scratches here and there, but literally EVERY piece of furniture they moved arrived with some degree of damage, except for my couch by some miracle. The number of items damaged and/or broken include: Bed, nightstand, dresser, floor lamp, desk lamp, bar cart, media console, coffee table, bookcase, dinning table. This is beyond belief. I don't know how these guys are still in business. I basically paid them thousands of dollars to trash my furniture.

    Broken desk
    Mellony T.

    I hate giving bad reviews but in this case I have to. My furniture and boxes were in storage for about 7 months and when I was ready to have my things transported they came from NY to LA. My desk, buffet table, and most of my boxes arrived destroyed. It was like they threw my things off the truck and packed it back up. I chose Oz because both my mother and brother used them for long distance moves. They both had a great experience with the movers. This was not the case with my things. I then filed a claim and received a measly $200 for items that totaled over $600. Never again.

    Broken legs!!!!

    Jose and his team (Art and Michael) were great! They were very respectful, and took good care of…read morethe stuff. They were very organized. My property is on a steep hill. They never complained and kept pushing through. Jose was great at communicating too. And they ask questions instead of assuming, which I appreciate a lot. I just wish the scheduling person was as communicative as Jose. The scheduling experience was not great - the person on the phone kept mishearing me. I clearly told them my house has 2 bedrooms and a bonus room, but in reality they only planned for moving 1 bedroom, resulting in understaffing, which made me ended up paying more because of the long hours and overtime. The scheduling person didn't even get my name right...the scheduling experience was pretty bad. But the actual moving experience was good. I guess next time I will just have to be extra cautious with the scheduling office.

    Daniel and his team were fantastic. They showed up with great attitudes (and great music), worked…read moresteadily for hours, and somehow made moving day feel...almost enjoyable. They were friendly and respectful, so patient with our kids as they wandered a little too close to the action, and handled everything with care. They expertly disassembled and reassembled our beds and dining table, and somehow wrestled our ridiculously heavy marble dining table without complaint. Honestly, I barely broke a sweat all day because they were so efficient! They took what would have been a very stressful move and made it feel organized and manageable. I'd absolutely hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone planning a move!

    Foreman: Jesus and Jose…read more Extremely pleased with services. Moved locally from DTLA to Sawtelle area. No issues with furniture being damaged. Everything was wrapped in blankets/wraps appropriately. They also took apart my girlfriend's IKEA bedframe and put it back together for us in the new apartment. Everything went smoothly. They had extra boxes for us to purchase if needed.

    Do Not Reccomend, be warned…read more I hired this company because of its strong reviews and was willing to pay more for a professional, efficient move. Unfortunately, my experience was the opposite. I paid about $1,650 before tip, roughly $1,800 total, and ended up with damaged furniture, a damaged wall, a broken TV stand, and an excessively long move. Two of the three movers appeared to speak almost no English, and the third spoke limited English and had to translate for the others. The issue was that the crew could not reliably understand or follow instructions. Several times I made specific requests and was told "OK, OK," only for the crew to continue doing exactly what I had asked them not to do. At one point I had to repeat myself about five times and finally stop them and insist they change the loading order. It should not require an argument to get movers to follow a clear instruction. I own expensive Stickley furniture and other high-end pieces and explicitly told the crew that several items needed exceptional care. I repeatedly asked for more padding and blankets because certain pieces were not adequately protected. On at least two occasions I specifically asked for another blanket, and the mover simply repositioned the existing blankets and kept wrapping. When the furniture was unwrapped, I found scuffs on leather, scratches and chips in wood, marks on my TVs, a broken leg on my nearly new TV stand, and damage to several other pieces. The problem seemed less like laziness and more like lack of experience, organization, and leadership. The time reinforces that concern. My previous move involved significantly more belongings, more preparation by the movers, and a destination about 30 minutes farther away. It also used three movers and was completed in about 5.5 hours, including double drive time. Based on that, I expected this smaller move to take about four hours, five at the absolute most. Instead, it took about eight. Everything except furniture was already packed, I had removed many fragile and awkward items myself, and I had reserved a loading area and dedicated elevator. Even so, individual trips between the apartment and truck were taking roughly 20 minutes despite the distance being only about 32 steps each way. I expected roughly $800-$1,000 plus tip. Instead, I paid about $1,650 plus tip. In my estimation, I paid at least $650-$800 more because of the crew's inefficiency and lack of experience. The most unacceptable incident involved damage to my old apartment. Near the end of the load-out, I found a substantial fresh gouge/chip next to an electrical outlet. I immediately brought it to the movers' attention, and they denied causing it. I had plugged my vacuum into that exact outlet and vacuumed the area no more than ten minutes earlier. The damage was not there then, and it was there after the movers worked there. Damage can happen during a move. What bothered me was being told something that repeatedly that, was plainly not credible. I contacted the company immediately and sent photos. I had to follow up repeatedly before being told the claims department would contact me. The following business day came and went without contact, leaving me to address the damage with my landlord. There was also an issue with the drive between locations. Before leaving, the lead mover and I compared Google Maps and both showed about 29 minutes. The truck then took a different route and arrived about 11 minutes later. Because the company charges double drive time, that effectively became about 22 billable minutes @ 200 per hour. The workers were personable and they did work. My criticism is that the company sent a crew that appeared inadequately trained, inadequately supervised, inefficient, unable to communicate effectively, and unable or unwilling to follow clear instructions regarding expensive property. I chose this company because its reviews made me believe paying a premium would buy professionalism, efficiency, and care. That is not what I received. I would not use this company again and cannot recommend them
