Rob, the owner, was exceptional to work with. He is extremely responsive, professional, organized, and genuinely hands-on throughout the entire process. It is clear that he takes a great deal of pride in his company and in the experience his customers receive. Communication was excellent, and I always felt like the move was in capable hands. Taylor, Evan, and Gabe were the three movers who handled the move, and they were outstanding. They were efficient, careful, hardworking, and incredibly professional throughout a long day. Nothing felt rushed or careless, and they treated my belongings as if they were their own. Taylor, in particular, was phenomenal. He was proactive, attentive, and consistently one step ahead, making sure everything stayed organized and moved along smoothly. I was very impressed by how well the entire operation was run. Moving from Santa Barbara to Orange County could have easily been a stressful experience, but Rob and his team made it feel seamless. Platinum Movers is exactly the type of company you hope to find when trusting someone with a major move. They are reliable, hardworking, honest, communicative, and exceptionally well run. I would use them again without a second thought and would recommend Rob, Taylor, Evan, and Eric to anyone looking for a moving company they can truly trust.

Movegreen

We recently hired Movegreen for a local move. The crew was efficient, but several heavy, high-value…read moreitems that were blanket-wrapped by their team -- including antiques, designer furniture, and custom marble pieces -- were damaged and broken. These were not items we packed ourselves, yet they were handled poorly enough to result in significant damage. When we filed a claim, Movegreen offered only $0.60 per pound coverage, plus a small additional "good faith" amount of $650 -- a tiny fraction of the replacement cost for furniture exceeding $35,000. Even after escalating to ownership, they refused any further compensation and closed the claim. While the move itself was logistically smooth, the lack of accountability for damaged items and the minimal settlement was extremely disappointing. I would caution anyone moving valuable or heavy furniture to carefully review coverage options and understand that Movegreen may not provide meaningful compensation if damage occurs as a result of their handling.

I had a fantastic experience with Movegreen. Even though I was out of town moving to Santa Barbara…read moreI still chose them over local movers as I trusted the referral and their quote process. From Chelsea, to Brooke, to Frank onsite, to John...the entire team showed up for me. It was very easy to schedule and transparent. I was a nervous mover and they always made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Even when I thought there were missing items (turns out there were not) they scrambled to make sure there wasn't a single lost item. On my move-in day they had a nearby team finish early so they called them over and I had 6 team members get all my household inside in under 2 hours, including building back up my complicated office desk and king sized bed frame. Very grateful for their team and process. Highly recommend.

Elite movers was the first (and forever my only) company to request lots of pictures with all cupboards open, an approximation of cost and duration, and customer service that took the time to answer all questions. The move day went off without incident. My crew consisted of four strong fellas-my crap being packed left and right, furniture being moved, boxes toted off, things I wasn't taking headed for the trash etc. They were all done by 1:30 or so and headed to the new place so I stopped for pizza/soda for them. All boxes unloaded and furniture placed where requested. Elite finished their job by about 3:30. I like them less now. The remaining boxes to unpack seem to have multiplied in the garage like bunnies but at least they are in one place. Great value for the money and no stress with packing things safely! Give them a call if your next move has you out of sorts.- they won't disappoint. Thank you!

They packed everything, nothing was damaged, and she was extremely happy with their service. Fast forward to 2026. We lived in Simi Valley and were moving to Minden, NV. We knew we wanted Mammoth. Originally spoke to Walter who was knowledgeable and patient. He said it would cost more since they had to come down to Simi, which we appreciated knowing, but we had our minds made up. Didn't even call another company for an estimate. Walter came down to assess our stuff (and we had a lot of stuff!) in order to give an accurate quote. And he was prompt when answering texts with questions I had. On moving day, Walter called to let us know when to expect the movers. Upon their arrival, they introduced themselves, were friendly, polite, and clean, effectively wrapped and packed the items we hadn't already packed, and nicely said their good-byes upon leaving. Walter called afterward to make sure we were happy. On deliver day, Walter texted, and the driver (whom we met in Simi) called, to let us know his estimated arrival time. The rest of the crew was hired from up here, and they, too, were friendly, polite, and clean. Upon completion, each one sought us out to say good-bye. I've unpacked about 3/4 of the boxes and so far, all items were delivered unscathed. I'd heard horror stories about moving companies and movers, but I can confidently say that is not our story. From the quote, to the packing, ending with the delivery, they were professional, communicative, and caring. I wholeheartedly recommend Mammoth Moving & Storage.

On short notice, Pete's Moving came to the rescue to help my mom move. Their responsiveness was unmatched, and the professionalism they exhibited was truly memorable. A special shout-out to Hugo and Eric, who made the move seamless and genuinely saved the day with their exceptional service.

I work for a a company that requires movers to help transport expensive and fragile windows and glass doors. Any damage would cost us thousands of dollars. Pete and his crew are our go to, not only because he's friendly, responsive, prompt, and reliable, but because they load and off load goods with great care, efficacy, and good humor, while taking safety seriously. So, when I needed help moving my home, I called Pete. In just a few short hours, he and a teammate had everything unloaded and set up in my new place exactly where I wanted it. Thoughtful and kind, they even helped me assemble a few items along the way! Quickest I've ever seen two movers get that much stuff done!

Professional, considerate, and conscientious. Pete's crew very carefully moved items out of storage, and packed them well into a clean moving truck. Upon arriving at my residence, the crew rolled out protective rugs along the interior walkways to protect the flooring. Each mover was polite and clearly explained what he was doing and why, and had a sense of precisely how to move and place items. Ultimately they placed everything exactly as I wanted. Moving is a stressful experience, but Pete's movers made the day far easier on me than other movers have. Their price is competitive, and their service is well worth it. read more

Although Pete only had a small window available he was very understanding and willing to help; he squeezed in my move. Pete and his team were on time and very efficient.

Definitely will hire this team again

I hired Jared's Moving Service twice and experienced significant operational issues both times…read more During my first move, the movers used another customer's storage access code, creating a serious conflict with the storage facility that escalated to the point where police involvement was discussed. Despite multiple calls from both myself and the movers, Jared did not come on site and minimized the issue. Rather than completing the move as planned, the company redirected to a different storage facility as they refused to continue working with the initial unit, resulting in additional disruption and expense. Jared attributed this to the storage facility rather than acknowledging it as a company error. Regarding the second move, the movers themselves worked hard, but the management and communication did not. Most of my communication was with Brent, and in the weeks leading up to the move I dealt with repeated scheduling changes, incorrect arrival information, confusion about storage logistics, and repeated communication failures. I repeatedly had to follow up just to obtain accurate information, resulting in additional expense, disruption, and lost time. The billing process was similarly frustrating. Before booking, I received a written estimate from Jared's Moving Service for a straightforward move between two storage units. After the move, I received an invoice that exceeded the estimate by more than $1,000 and included charges not reflected in the estimate. When I questioned the invoice, Jared first told me there was no estimate on file. After I told him we both could access the estimate email, he changed his explanation to say it was only a "4-hour minimum move estimate," not a full estimate. Again, not accurate as I have the estimate. After this conversation, several charges were removed, confirming that the original invoice was not accurate, but the bill was still much higher than the estimate and did not reflect any deduction from the moving company mismanagement, which I asked for. Jared told me he did not have the "capability" to make any further changes. I told him the dispute was not resolved. The most concerning part of this experience was how the billing dispute was handled. The company had saved my credit card information from processing my deposit over the phone without authorization from me. When Jared texted that he intended to charge my card. I immediately responded by both email and text that he did not have my authorization to charge it until the dispute was resolved. Despite those written instructions, my card was charged anyway before the dispute was resolved. I also asked that all further communication regarding the dispute come directly from Jared because many of the earlier issues involved Brent. That request was ignored, and Brent continued contacting me. After this experience, I revisited the company's negative reviews and found that many described concerns similar to mine. I wish I had paid closer attention to those reviews before hiring the company. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Jared's Moving Service. Moving is stressful enough.

The two guys that came out (Gabriel and Julien) were really personable, professional, fast, competent and communicative. Impressive to watch them strategically pack and unpack a random house of stuff. Would highly recommend. Very hard working and enjoyable to have around during a stressful move.

I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Platinum Movers. I used them for my move from Santa…read moreBarbara to Orange County, and they exceeded every expectation from start to finish. Rob, the owner, was exceptional to work with. He is extremely responsive, professional, organized, and genuinely hands-on throughout the entire process. It is clear that he takes a great deal of pride in his company and in the experience his customers receive. Communication was excellent, and I always felt like the move was in capable hands. Taylor, Evan, and Gabe were the three movers who handled the move, and they were outstanding. They were efficient, careful, hardworking, and incredibly professional throughout a long day. Nothing felt rushed or careless, and they treated my belongings as if they were their own. Taylor, in particular, was phenomenal. He was proactive, attentive, and consistently one step ahead, making sure everything stayed organized and moved along smoothly. I was very impressed by how well the entire operation was run. Moving from Santa Barbara to Orange County could have easily been a stressful experience, but Rob and his team made it feel seamless. Platinum Movers is exactly the type of company you hope to find when trusting someone with a major move. They are reliable, hardworking, honest, communicative, and exceptionally well run. I would use them again without a second thought and would recommend Rob, Taylor, Evan, and Eric to anyone looking for a moving company they can truly trust.

They are professional (never on their cell phones texting), efficient, and fast. They also found my Mom's 20K ring that fell out of her sofa that she thought she lost, and Joe called later to say they found it. They could have kept it and sold it for a lot, so clearly they are very honest too. I have referred them to 2 of my friends now, and both were very happy with them also.
