We had an excellent experience moving with Packing Bees from San Diego to the Bay Area. All of our goods were packed so efficiently and carefully - communication was clear and prompt, and our goods made it to their destination in one piece! I would work wit Packing Bees again anytime. Thanks so much to the whole team who helped us move! read more

Our move with Packing Bees was SO easy from start to finish! Milos is very communicative and helpful with all the information you need to make your appointment. Our movers, Nazarii, Sula and Ben were quick, efficient and careful with all our belongings. They took the time to wrap items as needed (even when not requested), carefully load and unload into our new home ensuring no damage to our belongings or our new floors and took the time to ensure every box was in its right place. I would 100% work with this team again in my next move. Thank you so much Nazarii, Sula and Ben!! read more

What a great experience!! Nigel, Ray and Adam were such a wonderful help. They packed all my belongings carefully and organized them in my storage unit for easy access later. I will be hiring them again when I move in to my new place! read more

I feel it's important to tell the truth in life, and sometimes, the truth hurts. I'm moving out of state, and while I initially planned to have my moving company handle packing my most fragile items, I thought I would look around for someone local, so that the stuff could be ready to go the day of the move. When I came across Packing Bees on Yelp, I had a good feeling, a 5 star rating isn't the norm. I called and spoke to a guy, who was friendly and knowledgeable. I explained my situation, that I needed packing of fragile and sentimental items, and that I had interstate movers already, but I just wanted everything ready to go when they arrived. He assured me, that this was up their alley and that they were expert packers, asked me for a rough idea of how much I had, and gave me a quote over the phone $175 per hour for 3 workers with a 3 hour minimum ($165 if I paid cash), and if I wanted them to use their supplies they'd charge for that. He said I was looking at probably $700-800 for the job. I felt good about it, and told him I'd get back to him. He said I could call back or text to set it up. I texted the next day. We set the date. He asked if I wanted them to bring their own supplies, I told him yes, and then I anxiously awaited the day to arrive while I begrudgingly packed up the rest of my stuff. The packers were slated to arrive between 8-10AM. They texted at 8:30AM-ish that they were on their way and they'd see me in 25 mins. They showed up a little after 9. There were no real introductions, and I couldn't tell you any of their names, because they never gave them to me. I show them everything that needs packing, sign the agreement, and they got to work. In the beginning everything seemed great. They were using appropriate sized boxes, keeping like items together, like making sure to pack sets of china and glassware together, and staying on task. At some point, it seems they ran out of the smaller boxes, and started using larger boxes, and this is when things started to turn. They started to fill these boxes with anything and everything, not keeping sets of stuff together and ignoring any idea of weight limits, and the fragility of the items, something I didn't realize until about 20 mins ago when I started lifting these larger boxes to move them into other rooms and organize them by contents. Imagine my surprise when I go to pick up a box marked "china", that easily weighed 75lbs+. One wrong move, and all of china in there, which is 150+ years old, and has been in my family for generations, would be reduced to rubble. This is not the only overpacked box. I now have to spend the evening unpacking these boxes, and repacking the items into smaller boxes that I have, and had in my house the whole time they were here. If they'd simply asked, I would've gladly supplied them, and if I didn't have any, I would've run out to buy some, as the whole point of hiring them was to ensure my fragile and irreplaceable items, were packed properly to make it across the country. 4 hours of work and they're done. The team leader tells me he's going to figure the bill and will be back. Between the labor and supplies it's $880. Perfect. I pull out my cash. Hand him $900 then start trying to decide how much more to give him to give a decent tip. He informs me that it's company policy that they get tipped 25% of the total price. I stopped counting my money and asked him to repeat himself, thinking I misheard him. Nope, he says the same thing and even adds, "that's another $220, but you can always give more". Uhhhh. I ask him to specify again thinking I can't be hearing this right. NOPE. So there I am standing there basically being told, that it's mandatory I give him a 25% tip. It was awkward, it was cringe worthy, and most of all, it was unprofessional. I give him the $220, so an $880 job, cost me $1100 due to some weird demand for a 25% tip. I couldn't shake the feeling of the tip situation. I text the guy I set everything up with to tell him about it, ask if that's their policy, and to tell him I hope the other guys actually get their fair share. He responds that tips are optional and percentage is up to the customer, and that he's sorry for the inconvenience, and he'll talk to the team lead. If my employee pulled something like that, my response would be a lot less "Sorry for the inconvenience", and a lot more "My employee did what!?" To top it all off, 3 boxes of things I wanted packed were never touched, which I didn't realize until an hour or so after they left, presumably because they ran out of supplies, and they left one box they'd packed, 1/3 full and just sitting open, and didn't even tell me, or I'd given them some things to fill it up. Long story short, this company might be great for you if you're moving around San Diego County, but my experience did not leave me feeling warm and fuzzy. I'm not sure what happened here, but I could never recommend this company after my experience. read more

I had an easy but complicated move for my mother and having used Packing Bee's before I didn't hesitate to call them. They were quick and efficient. They packed my mothers apartment moved everything out and moved the downstairs tenants to her upstairs unit. Then they moved her stuff in the down stairs unit. All this was done in 8 hours and three guys!! They packed everything with care and were so helpful when i had to put a couple items in my car. But here's another important reason to hire Packing Bee's: They are honest! They found cash under the bed AND gave it to me!! I've hired Packing Bee's three times now and will use them again..no hesitation!!! read more

My recent experience with Packing bees was not so good. I very small move that suppose to be moved in 2 hours they have dragged to almost 4. I am not sure if it's experience or they intentionally were milking the clock , but every time I went to check why it takes so long , someone was just standing in the truck not knowing what to do . One guy did not speak english at all and the other guy had very low level , but possible to communicate. Foreman was always something screaming to another guy ( I am not sure if he wass rushing him up or just telling what to do ), but instead of a 2 men crew I've got 1 person working. On top of that they had dropped my dresser and it's falling apart at the bottom near the leg. Driver immediately denied him dropping the dresser, however I know that it was in perfect shape at my old apartment. read more

I have no words... I don't know how to describe the level of service I received from Packing Bees moving company. This was truly the best experience I have received from any moving company I've ever worked with and probably any service company I've ever worked with. If I could give them more than five stars I would. I have been through some really difficult experiences with movers in the past. I have moved over 20 times in my adult life and I am very experienced with dealing with movers of all types. My last movers traumatized me because they broke my bed, broke $1000 air purifier which looks like it had been dropped from a height and were really unpleasant to with with, didn't seem to care and it made me afraid to hire another mover! When the time came and I had to move again I reluctantly began calling different companies asking a lot of detailed questions and I spoke to one of the owners, Milosh. He made me feel so reassured and confident that my things would be in good hands and I could count on them. Not only could I count on them but they were extremely responsive anytime I reached out with any questions or comments and always responded with a warm and friendly solution or idea for every challenge I threw at them. They have an extraordinary work ethic and commitment level. I swear these guys cared more about my move than I did! Aside from the fact that they were a lot of fun to be around and so incredibly nice, they made my move so much better than it could have or would have been otherwise! I felt taken care of from beginning till end and I could feel how important it was to them to do the best job possible and make sure that my move went really well. These guys had to pack up all of my stuff which they did the day before and then move me from San Diego to Los Angeles and then one problem after another came up creating obstacles but they never got in a bad mood and they never made me feel badly about the issues that came up. Instead they wholeheartedly came up with solutions time and time again to overcome every obstacle in our path. I was really touched by how important it is to them to do a great job but even more so to leave you feeling taken care of and important. To Milosh, Alex, Lazel, Lazar I thank you from the bottom of my heart! read more

This is the third time I've called on Packing Bees to help move my family and I couldn't be happier with their service once again. The entire team is courteous, respectful, and treat our valuables with such care. It's hard finding reliable and trustworthy movers, so I feel fortunate to have found a team I can entrust with what is normally a very stressful situation. They definitely make the whole ordeal of moving a lot easier. Definitely recommend them to anyone looking for help packing and moving. read more

Manas , Taras and Maga were AMAZING!!!!!! They were very thoughtful and helped us organize our 5 bedroom house into a perfectly packed truck. We had fun while doing it but never stopped so we got done quickly! And They were very careful with all of our things. My least favorite thing (moving) turned into a great day. read more

Nigel and his team were very friendly and super efficient. They made the move to our new house super easy and remembered which items pertained to which room. They carefully packed larger, fragile items and re-assembled our furniture. They ask that you just sit back and relax. They really know what they're doing -- no damage to furniture or walls. GREAT COMPANY! read more

Nigel and his team helped with my home move. They were very kind, honest, and upfront. They were very careful with my belongings. They started a little later than I expected (around 9am) and ended up finishing the job VERY late. They did work very hard though so I think the job just could have used an extra person or maybe a bigger truck (though they said they used the biggest one they had). Even though the job finished much later than I hoped or expected, I respected that they kept going to make sure the job got done. In addition, despite the long hours, their hourly rates were very competitive. They make sure you're happy. I had a minor issue with how they assembled my bedframe, and when I let them know they came back a separate day just to fix it and make it right. Overall, they were great guys and I appreciated their help. Thanks Nigel! read more

This company is awesome! From the initial contact to the very end of the move they were professional and prompt and friendly! Elon, John and Ken were strong, fast and careful movers. They were all very kind and patient, even when I asked them to rearrange some very heavy furniture. This was the third moving company we have used in one month! We moved our business first and then a move from our house to a storage unit. We were incredibly frustrated and dissatisfied with both of those companies. So, needless to say, I was super nervous trying someone new! After today, we really wish we had found this company first! They truly were the best movers we have ever used! They were also the only ones who showed up on time! We thought their price was reasonable too! We highly recommend Packing Bees Movers! read more

Packing Bees Movers we're worth every penny. Quick, efficient, careful. They packed every piece of furniture tightly in wrap and then blankets. Appreciate their carefulness and attention to detail. We had Mike, Elon, and Zhambo and they were incredible. You need to hire packing bees for your next move! read more

Nigel and his crew were FANTASTIC!!! I have moved twice in three months for a two bedroom house and I re-requested Nigel again for my second move. They did packing and moving for me and I can't recommend them enough. They are efficient, organized, friendly, and a great value for the price -- worth every penny. Not a single thing was broken, they treated all of my furniture and items with the utmost care and got both jobs (which involved steps and a complicated move) done with the utmost professionalism. While I hope I'm not moving again for a long time, I would absolutely recommend them again and again and was happy to be a repeat customer! read more

We are so pleased with the packing services they provided. They called before they arrived and we're on time. They did an outstanding job packing up our 2 bedroom apt. They were respectful, careful with our things, and we're done quickly. They carefully stacked the boxes so that they are secure and labeled each one. I would highly recommend them for everyone who is moving and/or needing to hire packers. They are amazing! read more

On time, friendly, careful with belongings, and FAST. These guys clear things quickly and made moving day a breeze. First time I've used movers (always did myself and always hated it/regretted it).. but it's hard to commit sometimes given cost. These guys made life so easy. I was able to clean the apartment during, not finish at 4am; and not injure myself. If you're comparing others- cost is best I saw These guys were super professional, efficient, and just moved constantly. Nothing but good things to say - I hope I don't love again for a decade... but would definitely use them again if I needed to! Highly recommended read more

Sula and Nazarii were wonderful!! They worked quickly and efficiently to move my items. They also went above and beyond to wrap my furniture and dissemble my bed. Great value and friendly! read more

WOWEE!!! Ilon and his team were AMAZING!!! Awesomesauce!! Fabulous! Especially Dan! They were punctual, polite, respectful, covid ready, pleasant, efficient and just overall great guys. Would use them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Ilon, Dan and the rest of the crew! Give these Bees a Raise!!! read more

I did a lot of research before hiring a moving company. I called 5 companies and eventually decided on Packing Bees. I spoke to Milanko a few times for questions and he was very responsive and friendly. He immediately sent me a quote and their online system is so easy to use and you can adjust the quote based on your requirement. Other than quick response and providing a quote quickly, their hourly rate is very reasonable for the kind of service you get. On the day of the move, they showed up promptly. We hired a 4-men crew and it worked out perfectly. The crew that came was led by Shaken and he is cordial and very professional. The other members of the crew are Dani, Yerbol and Meir. They are all super nice and worked very hard throughout the day. Our move was not very straightforward as we had to make one stop in the middle and the final destination has many flights of stairs. They never complain and worked out an efficient system to get all our stuff in quickly. On top of that, they are very careful with our belongs. They also disassembled and assembled our furniture for us which is super valuable at the end of a tiring day. I cannot say enough good things about Packing Bees and everyone that I came in contact with. I would hire them again for any future needs and would highly recommend them to my friends. Thank you! Milanko, Shaken, Dani, Yerbol and Meir, you guys rock!! read more

Thank you Manas and Han for helping out with our move. It was a tight fit with all of household goods in the truck but you guys made it work and took care of each of our belongings. These guys were very friendly and hardworking, given the conditions that it was very hot and the apartment we moved into had a very slow elevator. They made it work and asked for permission about how to do things and where to move things. We will definitely be a repeat customer in the future! read more

Nigel and the crew from Packing Bees were exceptional. They were very friendly, professional, efficient and most importantly, very careful with my things. I used Packing Bees to pack and move my things and highly recommend them to anyone looking for moving help. read more

Today was the 2nd time we used Nigel and his team. We actually requested this team again because we were so satisfied the first time. We were so happy with their efficiency, effort, hard work, and organization. They were so careful with everything we moved into our storage facility. We will use them for all of our moving needs read more

Packing Bees Movers - The organized storage facility! - Movers Near Me - San Diego, California

I had a team come to move me out of a 1 bedroom apartment. It was a close move, so I had already moved most of the small things myself. The team came in and moved all of my large furniture down a flight of stairs and up another flight of stairs at my new apartment. They were efficient and all of my items got to my new apartment undamaged. I also appreciated that there weren't any hidden fees; there's an hourly rate with a 3 hour minimum, which was competitive with a lot of other movers I received quotes from, but there weren't any incremental fees. I'd recommend Packing Bees if you're moving in San Diego. read more

Yesterday we had Nazarii, Sula, and Jenia help us move out from our current residence we are selling into a pod. They were the nicest guys, super patient and handled every single request we had. We had our whole home and then some to take care of and they packed it in there absolutely perfectly and safely. When it is time to move out of our pod we will use them again, and I would recommend them to anyone as we had the best experience! read more

Pretty standard move. But they had to deal with some relatively heavy boxes/furniture, a slightly too small 2nd-floor apartment, and San Diego rain. Work was fast, efficient, and everything made it to the new location completely unscathed, with one exception. At the end of the move, we discovered that one of my old recliners (nearly 10 years old and on its 4th move at this point) wasn't reclining properly. Turns out a bolt had come loose inside a sown pocket under the seat. I don't blame Packing Bee in the slightest, the recliner had been through years of abuse and it was just time for something to give. Even so, the guys stuck around to troubleshoot the problem and ultimately found and fixed the issue for us. Thanks, Packing Bee! read more

We just used Packing Bees last week to help us pack and load our truck for our move to Texas. They did a fantastic job and were even able to load our massive, very heavy, pull out couch into our truck. They were quick and very courteous. I wish we had used them on a previous move within downtown San Diego, but at least we can tout their services now. read more

These guys are the best! Super prompt, reliable and great value. I've used them twice now and i recommend them to everyone! Our crew was Nazarii, sula, rustam and they were fantastic! Made our move so easy!! read more

I am very disappointed in this service I had told them to do three hours and do the big items and they showed up with the small truck which I was shocked about because of the fact that we were moving so much stuff in there was stuff all in the truck. Then they spent the first 20 minutes cleaning the truck out to make room for everything they were able to fit a lot of stuff in this tiny truck that I was really surprised about the way they stacked everything that part was pretty impressive but otherwise I was very disappointed because they even left stuff in the garage that was clearly supposed to go in the house and luckily I noticed some of it before they left after charging me for five hours over $700 and then I made them move the dressers that were very heavy into the house otherwise we would've been not able to move them! There's still a lot of stuff in the garage that was supposed to go in the house and I still haven't even had a chance to move which is the reason we hired them so I'm very frustrated and they wouldn't give me a receipt when I asked for one that I still haven't gotten a receipt! read more

We moved from our 2bd/2ba apartment in San Diego to a 2-floor house in San Marcos this past July and chose Packing Bees as our moving company. Scheduling the move was very easy: I used a combination of phone, text, and email conversations to make sure they had all the info they needed for moving day, and, when we had to reschedule, they were very flexible with no rescheduling fees. The actual move was great, too. They arrived during their pre-determined arrival window, and I couldn't believe how fast they were able to move all of the boxes and furniture out of our living room! In about 15 minutes, it was completely empty. We hired four guys to do the entire move: they had our apartment packed up (including disassembling two queen size bed frames) in about 2 hours. Unloading the truck at our new home and re-assembling the bed frames didn't take long, either. Overall, the job took just about the amount of time we anticipated, and the price was great for the job well done. I highly recommend Packing Bees! read more

These guys are seriously amazing! They truly made our moving day so seamless & stress-free!! They disassembled/reassembled our crib flawlessly, no scratches, nothing was broken, not even scuffs on the walls on either places. Extremely professional and also personable and friendly and truly cared to make sure everything was put in the correct room!! They were extremely efficient (everything complete in four hours!!) HUGE SHOUTOUT TO MILOS, NICK & MILAN - Cannot recommend them enough - will definitely use again for the next move!!! read more

Melo and his crew showed up on time, wearing masks and hustled to get our place packed up. They were attentive to our requests, careful and consultative with our things and how to best protect them, and overall very courteous. This is the second time we've used Packing Bees off a recommendation from a friend and we'll certainly be referring them to anyone who needs. Thank you Packing Bees! read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND!! I found these guys to help my friend move. Over $600 to move small one bedroom apartment from Solana Beach to Calsbad ? That's too much in compare with 3 hours of work promised. They have arrived at 8:15. Did not start until they have a meeting with their team to come up with a game plan ( we've being charged for this time). What kind of plan for moving a small unit little over 500 square fit? He had everything broken down and ready to be moved. They stated they need to wrap- it ok - cool whatever. We on the way to the new place which is 15 min away. They took a wrong turn or incorrect address which added on another 15 min to there's time. We've tried to argue about the time - they gave us only 15 min . We've paid because we had to complete this nightmare and move on. Moving is already stressful and they just added to it . Giving them one more star because at lease movers were nice read more

Moved from San Diego to San Francisco , and I could not be happier! Alex and his team were prompt, fast and mindful of our fragile and valuable items. Recommend these guys to my mother in law for a local move and she was very pleased with their services as well! Keep up the great work!! read more
