Peter's Moving Services is the best mover I've used. Every step in my moving process was smooth and problem free. I needed to pack a POD and didn't have experience in doing it and Peter told me how much rope to get, how many packing blankets to get and where to buy them at the cheapest price. On the move date, Peter and his helper came in on time and got to work fast. They moved very quickly, efficiently and everything was professional and clean. The way Peter packed the POD was a work of Tetris art. I was worried I wouldn't have enough space in the 16' container but now I have about 1/4 of it empty that I can leisurely work on filling up tonight. On top of all that, Peter charges a prorated price that is reasonable and not in 30 minute or even worse 1hr blocks like other moving companies. So you're not constantly looking at your watch cursing under your breath. Lastly, he takes Venmo. I can't think of many other businesses that do. This is a moving company for the 2020s...not the 70s like most other movers...and I've used a lot. read more

I hired Peter's Moving Services through u-haul and they exceeded expectations and made my moving day A BREEZE!! I've told everyone I know in the LA area about them if they ever need moving services. Peter was so professional, prompt, CLEAN, respectful of my belongings, and packed my u-haul wonderfully. I can't say enough nice things about them. What a pleasant experience! 1000/10 would recommend using Peter's Moving Services read more

Peter was fantastic to work with from start to finish. He was communicative and friendly and offered very reasonable rates. He and his team worked efficiently and carefully to move the items from our home and deliver them to the charity of our choice. He had worked with the charity before and knew exactly what to do. The whole process was smooth and went even better than we expected. read more

I highly recommend Peter's Moving Services. They were punctual, professional, friendly, and even helped unwrap some of the furniture and swept out the moving truck! Fantastic experience overall. read more

Peter and his team helped us with a large move. Although relocations are generally stressful, Peter and his team were highly professional, efficient, and trustworthy and made the entire process smooth. They sure deserve 6 stars! I will definitely use his services in the future and highly recommend him. read more

I'm really torn on how to review Peter's Moving Services. I had a very positive experience with them initially but the relationship turned sour afterwards. First the good. When I contacted Peter, he was very responsive on yelp messaging, email and phone. Peter and a crew of 2 others came to my home to pack and move everything into a storage container. They also disassembled some of my furniture, like a dining table so it would all fit. Overall, I was happy with their cost, speed and professionalism. So I gave them a rather large tip at the end. I asked if they would be willing to help me move everything back out into my new home in a couple of months in Orange County. He said sure as long as I paid their travel cost and I said that would be fine. Fast forward a couple of months. With my new home closing, I try to contact Peter to help me move everything back in as he had promised. I messaged him on yelp, email, txt, call and left several voice messages. He would not respond. I thought this was odd but didn't think much of it so I hired a different moving crew. When I got my storage container, everything looked fine. Things were packed very tightly so nothing had fallen or even budged as far as I could tell. The new moving crew started moving my stuff inside. I was mostly in the storage container watching them move stuff and instructing them which room each item went. As we got towards the end of the storage container, I see the legs of my dining table and one of the moving crew points out that it looks like it's cracked. As I watch him maneuver the legs of the dining table out, I see that it was already broken in 2 pieces. If you can imagine it, the legs of the dining table form a sort of "C" shape, with the legs plus a bridge between them (I've uploaded some pictures). The problem seems that they were packed with nothing but a clear plastic wrapping and they were inserted sideways with the legs parallel to the ground. Some heavy items were placed on top of one leg and I'd imagine the weight of those items snapped the legs in half at some point. I believe that if the dining table legs were fully disassembled, this would not have happened, but Peter's Moving seemed rush. Licensed and insured movers typically offer the standard California-regulated $0.60/lb insurance but Peter said he would repair and replace any damaged item when I first spoke to him. I took some pictures and immediately called Peter in case he needed some additional proof of damage for insurance purposes. Not surprisingly, he did not pick up. I sort of assumed he was out of business due to all the non-responses. I decided to write him a yelp message just to document the problem in case there was some way for me to claim insurance on my own. Surprisingly he responded pretty quickly to that allegation. Unfortunately, the response is not what I was hoping for. He refused to compensate for any damages, not even the standard $0.60/lb california insurance. My suspicion is that this company may not be a licensed and insured in the state of California. I never thought to ask but maybe you should. The dining table was a set that came with 6 chairs (one of which was also damaged) and had a glass top. It cost me about $1k when I bought it 7 years ago. Its weight would probably qualify me for around $100 of damage compensation with the $0.60/lb insurance, about what I tipped them, but this proposal was ignored. Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but now I'm thinking maybe this is why he ignored all my requests for his service. Did they break it when shoving it in and therefore avoided coming back to take responsibility? I can't prove this but it's just odd how he went from being very responsive to not at all and then responsive again after the move and I accused him of damages. Just to be objective, I can understand his stance. There are 3 parties that could be responsible for the damage: the original movers, the storage company, and the final movers. I was there and saw the damage before the final movers touched it so I would rule them out. Everything inside the storage container seemed like it was just as Peter had packed it. Even if the storage company shifted the container during the move, nothing seemed to have moved at all. But ultimately, I believe it is the original movers' responsibility to ensure that things stay put and don't get damaged even if the container moves, which it will because it needs to be transported. I suppose it's my word against his at the end of the day. It sucks losing one of my favorite pieces of furniture and having to replace it. I'm writing this in hopes that you will vet the moving company before choosing one. Perhaps ask if they are licensed and insured (and for proof of it) and how you can prove and claim damages if anything happens. With that said, I'll repeat what Peter told me, which is "damages are rare"... read more

Peter's Moving Services - A picture of my dining table before it was broken - Movers Near Me

See all

I would give no star if it is a choice. Booked the moving two weeks ahead and confirmed a day before the moving. Moving people suppose show up at 8am but no one showed up and no one answer phone calls. Absolutely is not professional. Please don't trust this company for any appointments. read more

The best!!! I have been using Peters moving services for a decade ! Highly recommend for big jobs small jobs !

I have used this moving services many times and to this day it is the only one I recommend to anyone looking to move offices or space around the Los Angeles area. They even helped me get my gas oven running after the last move! read more

I used peter on August 1, 2018 to move from my tri-level townhome in Monrovia to a 2nd floor 1 bedroom apartment in Irvine. I was very impressed with the customer service and the move. Peter is a true professional and very hard working. I got tired just watching him and his partner, lol. I would absolutely use Peter's moving service again. Unfortunately for me I've moved a lot in the past 6 years but luckily I found Peter. The best overall to date. Please don't call the big name movers, they are extremely overpriced. Rent a truck and hire Peter's movers. Thanks again Peter for a great job. -Mike read more

Peter and his associate just drove away. They packed up my 20' U-haul in just under two hours. They are a marvel of speed, efficiency and expert packing skills. From floor to ceiling they packed it all like a puzzle. In the end, I could have saved money and rented a 15' truck and they probably could have gotten it all in there but we have some extra room now. And that's a tip: unless you are really good at packing, save money on a smaller truck and hire Peter to tetris it all in there and the money you saved on the truck will pay for his services. Peter said he's been doing this for 14 years and it shows. From the moment he shows up, and he gets a tour of what needs to be loaded, he and his worker walk with speed and determination 100% focused on what they're doing. They're very careful with furniture getting it out the door, they use the blankets I rented abundantly and properly and it was really cool just to watch a team who knows what they're doing, and who knows how to work hard, do it! Completely worth hiring them. It would have taken me all day to pack the truck. read more

In my many years of apartment hopping, the words "moving" and "great experience" never went together in one sentence. Until I moved with Peter at the reigns in 2006. The experience was so great, that I've told friends for the last 3 years, if you ever move, you need to get them involved. So here I am, 3 years later getting ready to move again, and was so very pleased to see Peter is still out there offering his services. In '06 I had a 10 x 10 spot on a big giant truck that was heading to Canada. To get my whole life in that 10x10 spot needed a skilled Tetrus player, and Peter was that!! He used every last square inch of the space and only 2 chairs wouldn't fit. One of my moves prior to meeting Peter involved 2 guys that were in a time warp. My mother and I huried past them and would do triple trips in the time they did one. When I got to my new place I sat them both down and told them "everything that is marked GARAGE goes in the GARAGE, Ok?". Before I knew it, everything marked Kitchen was in the garage, and vice versa. I was so fed up I paid them to leave. It was close to $700 and I still needed to complete the move for them. With Peter, this scenario would never happen.... be nice to these guys, and tip! You'll be way ahead of the game anyway, and MAN are they fast. It's good to see there are still people out there who offer service with a smile. It feels good to support the small independent companies too. read more

My husband and I hired Peter and Zeke for our move a couple weeks ago. They went above and beyond our expectations - they were courteous, professional, easy to work with, and did a wonderful job moving and handling all of our belongings. We had never hired movers before and we felt so fortunate that we found such a great team. They were excellent and speedy, and brought along their own dollies and hand trucks. They packed up the UHaul very efficiently and securely. We ended up needing more hours than we realized, and they graciously accommodated us. Thank you Peter and Zeke for making our move such a positive and stress-free experience! read more

These guys were amazing! This was the first time I've used movers, and I was so nervous about who to pick. I read so many bad yelp reviews on so many companies about long smoke breaks, rude movers, breaking items, etc etc. But I booked a Uhaul and Peter's Moving came up as an add-on and I decided to give it a try. These guys were AMAZING I hired 2 guys for 2 hours. Peter and Tony showed up precisely at 9:30am as agreed, and practically ran back and forth to load my apartment into the truck in just over an hour. They placed everything strategically in the truck and tied it down, covered in pads, etc to make sure it was all protected. They really took care with my belongings...Peter even put my fancy TV in his car wrapped up in the back so that it would be "safer" than in the back of the truck. They followed me to the new place and had the truck unloaded in an hour! They were very courteous and tried to help me place things just where I wanted them, so I wouldn't need to move things myself after they left. I cannot praise these guys enough. This was the easiest move I've ever experienced (and being my 4th move in 7 years, I've experienced a lot!). I would use them again in a heartbeat and recommend everyone give them a try! read more

I've actually used Peter's Moving Service twice now for myself and both times were completely awesome. Peter and his team are professional, very courteous and took great care with my belongings. I've never experienced any damages or ever had to question what these guys were doing. I tried to stay out of their way and they were great. I can't recommend these guys enough and I will add that you need to be reasonable and realistic when planning a move. If you have a 3 bedroom house with a lot of crap like I did, then give yourself about 6 hours even if you think you have most of it packed and ready to go. Want things to go even smoother, why not get yourself 3 guys instead of two. I paid for 6 hours and 3 guys and both times I appreciated the extra help when doing final packing, any last minute cleanup. You might spend more of your money, but it's money well spent and 10x cheaper then hiring other companies. read more

I wish I could give Peter and his team 10 stars! We have used them for moving help 3 different times in the past few years and each time has been fantastic. First, Peter takes great care with your stuff. He and his team are very conscientious and are very liberal with the blankets to protect our furniture and other belongings. Second, these guys know how to hustle! I have used movers in the past that were clearly paid by the hour if you know what I mean. Not the case with Peter and crew. They almost ran with our stuff when unloading the truck each time. Finally, it is the little things. The first time we worked with Peter we were moving into an apartment and I stayed with the truck. After they were finished and I got upstairs I found that Peter had sorted our stuff as it came in so the kitchen boxes were together, etc. I was blown away. So much so that I have used them twice since, and will use them again when I need their help. In fact, as far as I am concerned there is no better moving help in southern California!!! read more

What a sweet man and a very efficient mover! He was recommended by a friend and I have referred him to many others. He works quickly but is very careful. It was a pleasure to have him help me with my move. A great personality, hard worker and good communicator. His price was very fair and actually cheaper than the last time I moved myself with a rented moving truck. His helper was a total sweetheart too. Was very happy with their services and would use again. read more

I haven't written a review in a while, but felt the need to mention how great Peter and his team were. My coworker recommended Peter to me, and had done several moves with him, which made me feel comfortable selecting him. I set up a move time with Peter via email, and he confirmed with me the night prior. He and his helper showed up a few minutes early, got set up, and proceeded to move everything out of my apartment extremely quickly but carefully as well. Peter was very professional and friendly throughout, and we got through my move just as I hit the 2 hour minimum. The pricing was very reasonable, which pretty convinces me that I'll never have to call buddies to haul my crap around town again. read more

Peter's Moving Services provided the best moving experience ever. I moved a few years ago before I was on yelp, but was happy to find them today when referring friends. Peter and his helper arrived a few minutes early. They went straight to work and moved all the boxes and plastic tubs to my Uhaul truck quickly and efficently. They followed me to my new home and went to work unloading. They had a great sense of humor when I kept saying "put in the bedroom" long after the bedroom was over-flowing. Oops on me! They finished in under the estimated time and saved me money too. Their tip was well deserved! Highly recommend and would definitely use them again! read more

I recently used Peter's moving service to load a uhaul truck. Peter arrived on time and prepared. He even offered a discount off the original quote at the end because the job was easier than expected. His attention to detail in loading and the amazing boy scout knots are services that are hard to come by nowadays. Service date 09/2012 read more

We had a storage unit full of furniture that we had to take to LA, and I found Peter's business, read the great reviews, and I'm SO glad we went with him! He was kind, helpful, and professional from the time I booked him (and had to change the time due to transit issues), until the last item was unloaded at our second stop. You can't beat the price, and they handled all our antique furniture with the utmost care. If we're ever in need of a moving service in LA, we'll definitely be calling them again! read more

If you would like to use a moving service that is affordable and communicates well and does a great job than use these guys. I've personally worked as mover before and was very impressed with using this company. Great work ! read more

Absolutely great moving experience! We've been burned by movers before so it's really hard to pick good movers, but I would recommend Peter's Moving Service to anyone and everyone. They arrived 5 mins early, were super polite, and packed everything up WAY faster and better than we could've done ourselves. When we unloaded in a different state, everything was still in exactly the same place and nothing was broken. They went over 3 hours by a few minutes and could have charged us for another half hour or another hour (we've had movers do this before) but they just charged us for the 3 hours. Great service! read more

Absolutely the most unprofessional moving company I've encountered! I made an appointment for moving services 2 weeks prior to my move date with Peter. One week prior he sent me a confirmation email for the move date. Everything was going according to plan, when 3 days prior to the move I get an email saying he has to cancel the appointment. WTF???????!!!!!!!!!!!! No reasons, no excuses, no explanation!!!!!! Tried calling 20 times to talk to him and see why or how he could cancel at this time...no ones picking up the phone at 11am. Great business tactic, hiding. Now I cant even schedule another moving company cause everyone is all booked up! This guy is a complete joke. Don't trust this weasel! Go with another company and have the piece of mind that they'll show up for the job as agreed. If I could give no stars, I would. read more

What can I say? These guys are Amazing. Showed up ten minutes early and wrapped every single piece of furniture I had. Peter was focused,calm and his assistant the same. After packing the storage unit we realized we needed additional space for a couch. Without batting an eyelash, the guys unpacked and repacked the unit to make more space. They HUSTLED the entire time, while showing the utmost care for my things. I can't say enough good things about these guys!! read more

Best Moving Company I have ever used. Reliable, dependable, professional and EXTREMELY reasonable, not to mention trustworthy. I have used them 3 times already and if I ever move again I will use Peter's, hands down. I recommend them to anyone that needs a moving company. If I could give 10 stars I would! read more

I've used about 12 moving services in my life and this was by far the cheapest and the best. Peter not only was moving quickly to respect my money and time but he had creative ways of getting heavy furniture onto the balcony floor of my loft with two men. Most movers would tell me to figure out another way, but he took my request into consideration and made it work. Truly remarkable. If you're doing a local move please dont use a big unpersonable company who isn't accountable. Use a company like this that counts on your repeat business! read more

I am totally stubborn & like moving everything myself BUT this time, on a good tip, I decided to retain a little sanity and get some help with my heavier & more awkward items. I am SO GLAD I did. Peter was like having a friend help you- but a strong friend who knows exactly how to pack/carry/load things, and doesn't tease you about all the weird stuff you have collected over the years. He was polite and professional & I felt my belongings were in good hands. On time & fast. Stop moving your own things! It's not worth it! Call Peter! read more

I hired this business after looking up the reviews and truly they are professional and the rate is fair. Peter and Zee were very fast and efficient From the start Peter was good at communicating the service they offer and even suggested that I could save if I rent a truck locally but I didn't have a driver so I included the truck in the service. At the place of delivery they help clear the spaces where the furniture would go. I am very satisfied with their job and would hire them again if I move again. read more

I have never used movers in my life, but I'm getting old. I rented a 20ft Uhaul Peter showed up on time with pads and tie downs and had my whole house packed up in hardly any time at all. Seriously, they did not mess around. Amazingly, they were able to fit it all on one truck! Very efficient and friendly. They even took the doors off my fridge to get it through a tight squeeze. I was shocked at how cheap it was for the level of service they provided. I would highly recommend Peter's to anyone looking for great movers. read more

These guys were on time, great attitudes, fast, friendly and amazing when it comes to their prices. Couldn't have asked for anything better!

I'd never hired movers before yesterday. I did a ton of research and even had another company come out to my house to provide an estimate. I have two friends that have used Peter's Moving Services in the past. They have both used Peter's crew twice. Repeat customers that I know and all the good Yelp reviews + the one's here (http://www.movinghelp.com/petersmovingservices) helped me make my decision. His crew of three moved me from a 2 BR house with a flight of stairs and crummy street access on a windy road in Laurel Canyon to another BR house in 4 1/2 hours. There were no dings on the walls of either house and all my stuff is in tact. Peter, Tony and Rob were all really cool and really fast. Really happy with their work and very satisfied with the cost. read more

I just had Rob and Peter out here. Those guys were awesome!! They arrived on time, and they were very professional. I booked 4 hours with these guys through U Haul and I was really just looking for someone to move all the big furniture and appliances into the truck for me, and I would do the boxes. In time Rob and Peter were here, these guys loaded 85-90% of my of my whole house. I would highly recommend using this company for your next move. read more

Peter and Robert came today and I couldn't be happier. Clean, professional work. I will use them again.

I've moved a lot. I've moved with the help of family/friends and I've also hired many moving companies in the past. I've never really had a bad moving experience so I cannot really relate to those who have had nightmare moves. My only comparison of Peter's Moving Services is to those who I also had great experience with. After experiencing Peter's Moving Services, I don't think I can hire anyone else. As Tony the Tiger would say, They are Greeeeaaaat. The workers arrived 5 minutes early and packed my whole apartment in an hour. Trust me, if I were to have my family and friends help me, it would take the whole day. The efficiency, attention to detail, and the care and precautions they took of my possessions was amazing. Not a single scratch. I am way beyond satisfied with Peter's Moving Services. If yelp allowed me to give 10 stars, I would. Thank you Peter and the gang. read more

Absolutely fantastic. Hard working, incredibly efficient, very thoughtful and careful with delicate items, and quite personable. Would definitely recommend, would definitely book them again. read more

I recently had my fourth move in the LA area. My previous movers had gone out of business, and I found Peter's Moving Services actually through Yelp. Peter and his crew are by far the best movers I've used. They were quick, careful, courteous, communicative and priced at market with no hidden fees. They really had a sense of hustle, which kept time to a minimum. Moving is stressful and you need people you can count on. I would recommend Peter's Moving Services to anyone. read more

Excellent movers. Peter and his guys are great. Quick, punctual & friendly.

Peter and his team are the best in the business!!! I coordinate moves for clients, and have worked with Peter and his team more than five times. They are always on-time, hard-working, friendly, careful, and fun to work with. No matter the difficulty level of the move, Peter and his crew will rise to the occasion and make it happen - no matter how long it takes. Peter's level of professionalism and integrity is unparalleled! I cannot recommend Peter's Moving Services highly enough!!! 10 stars!!! read more

I can't say enough about Peter and his crew. I moved during the Christmas holiday season from Leimert Park to the San Bernardino mountains. I need you to know that my move was a bit complicated. Doors had to be removed to extract a vintage desk that had to be first delivered to a friend in Pasadena before the rest of my stuff made it to me. By the time Peter and his crew got to my mountain home, the sun was going down fast and they had to negotiate a truck and a trailer on a thin cul de sac road in near-freezing temperatures. This, Peter did without complaint, murmur, or a break; he and his mate simply worked diligently and got the job done. I may've taken a few liberties. In fact, as I type this, I know I did. Seeing them work swiftly and realizing they'd soon depart, I decided to get rid of some things that were used to stage my new home. So, as Peter and his crew-mate moved things in, I moved things out to the deck. They issued not one single complaint as they loaded up two heavy vintage chairs, a cabinet or two, various linens and knick knacks on their moving truck. It was well past dark by then and the temps were heading towards freezing. Still, I'm not done. Peter faced some challenges getting his rig turned around on the road. I think I even heard something about almost losing a trailer that seemed to roll downhill. Despite all of this, I heard Peter diplomatically negotiating with neighbors I've yet to meet in his nonplussed and hyper professional manner. My move wasn't easy; he left well after I'd lit a fire and settled in to my new digs. I remain grateful as I write this note some weeks after my move. He made what was already stressful (moving!) a more manageable thing. I want you to know that atop of all of this, Peter's rates are beyond reasonable and he accepts multiple forms of payment. If you are looking for an expert to handle a mover, even a complicated one that entails moving things from your house to a friend before a final destination and/or to pick up goods from careful and judicious sellers on Craigslist, well, Peter and his crew should be your number one consideration. No, wait. They should be your only consideration. If I could give him six stars, I would. read more
