100% RECOMMEND platinum movers!!! I found them with 5 star rating on on yelp and I'm super happy I did! From start to finish Robbie and his crew didn't stop!! Extremely hard working, PROFESSIONAL and super easy to work with!!! And not to mention.. they can take a joke!! Since our move day was on April fools day- I decided to prank them a lil... Robbie was very timely- called me just before 9a (our scheduled time) to let me know that he was almost to my place with his freshly fueled up moving truck and fully staffed crew... Ha! I decided to act surprised and pretended like I had no idea it was move day... "Wait, I thought you were moving me next weekend?!!! "Sorry, I have nothing ready"... it was priceless.. Robbie handled it so well- politely reminding me that it was indeed move day- I kept playing dumb; he was trying to give me the benefit of the doubt (while probably secretly wanting to strangle me ;) .. But eventually, after this went on with him wanting to check our estimate, I finally said oh gosh guess you're right.. April fools!! AND after having a near heart attack, he laughed and pulled it together to get started.. said I got him good! Rest of the move went super smooth! Omg- these guys really know what they're doing!! Robbie was so sweet and knowledgeable- he gave me a complete game plan for the move ahead of time. Told my girls they could sleep in their beds the night before and he would just place all their bedding in wardrobe boxes; same for me. He also packed up all our closet clothing, shoes, linens and the best part for me- we got leave all our clothing in the dressers- so convenient and made unpacking so easy! I have a lot of experience with other moving companies and I honestly have never seen such efficiency. I hate moving and they made it not a miserable experience for me. Robbie's leadership and oversight was flawless. He personally handled all aspects of my move and was there from start to finish. I found out why things went so smoothly- he provides his crew with strict protocols and methods that are standardized for every move, to protect and move each piece safely. He also has a process in place of hand selecting then training and educating each member of his crew. These strategic measures and values are what make this company so successful. In summary, if you're looking for the most efficient and professional movers in SB- these guys are it!!! read more

The Platinum Movers is a group of professionals. They are on time, well prepared, experienced and kind. On time: our moving time was very tight and the other movers were delayed more than four hours and we had to look for another moving service. We were introduced to The Platinum Movers by our family friend. The Platinum crew came in an hour and started to work right away! Well Prepared: The Platinum Movers came with a HUGE track, blankets to cover furniture, vinyl wrap and boxes. They took all of the waste into the truck. Then, put furniture and household items that needed to be in a metal moving container separately at the same time. We finished clearing up the property much faster than the original plan because of this quick and flexible well prepared work. Experienced: we asked Rob how we can safely wrap some fragile items that need to be delivered by a big metal moving container for a long distance. Rob said,"Okay, let me see". After we arrived home, we found everything was fine and well, including light stands and light bulbs. Kind: The Platinum Movers were friendly and introduced their name at the beginning and started to work right away. They even let us use some plastic wrap when we were wrapping some pictures. We did not find any major mess in the rooms and street after they left. They accepted the credit card, gave us a clear explanation and gave us a receipt. When we have to face a new challenge, sometimes we need to ask for professional help. The Platinum Movers are professionals who totally relieved us from the worries, pressure and stress with their experienced skills. read more

I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Platinum Movers. I used them for my move from Santa Barbara 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. read more

When I called Platinum Movers the owner Robert was very helpful and knowledgeable about what I would need in order to complete my move. I have a couple of BIG items that in order to move I would be needing a crane for. Robert explained to me the process of which I would need to take in order to move all my belongings safely and he also was upfront and completely HONEST with me stating that even though he would very much like to be the one who moves me he just did not have the resources(crane) to complete my move. Robery did not try to sell me on any bull**** reasons of what else he could do for me but told me upfront what I needed and also referred me to a moving company that could complete my move. I have never come across a moving company who gave me such honesty and who refers business to other companies. Usually the company will try to sell me on reasons why they are the best and try to keep my business even if it means destroying my property in the process. But not Robert and Platinum Movers. He simply broke down exactly what I needed to move and explained in detail why he was not able to accomodate me. For just the honesty alone I give Robert and Platinum Movers 5 stars. Unfortunately, I will not be having Platinum Movers moving my belongings due to my oversize items. But if I ever have to move again I will definitely be choosing Robert and Platinum Movers. If every company had such honesty and integrity like Platinum Movers does, the world would be a better place. read more

I live in L.A. and needed a company to move my mom from Santa Barbara to Carpinteria. I left a message and Robert called me back within 30 minutes. After speaking on the phone and getting a quote I decided to with Platinum Movers. We had to change the move date out by two weeks and Robert was very accommodating. On the day of the move Eric and Angel showed up, they were both professional & very nice to my whole family, truly a pleasure to have them both. They covered her couches, mattresses and large mirrors. Everything stayed clean and nothing was broken, which made her extremely happy. However, if I was going to change anything I would have had Robert come out to her residence and see what needed to be moved, covered etc. I gave him a good idea of what needed to be moved over the phone, (except a few things I did not realize like 7 plants and we were closer to 35 -40 boxes when I had originally said 25-30), so I figured it would cost a little more. My original estimate was approximately $500-$600, the day of the move the final price was $1105. The hourly rate and fuel charges Robert quoted originally were exactly the same on moving day. The calculation that was off were the "hours" it would take to move her items, causing the original quote to almost double. Again I would recommend Platinum Movers, we were very happy overall, I would just get a more detailed quote. read more

If you're searching for a moving service for an upcoming move, you simply won't find a better, more professional operation than Platinum Movers. Having moved multiple times over the last 5 years within SB County, I originally tried to go super budget on the first service I hired which was a major mistake. The 3 things I think most people care about when they hire a moving service are your items being well taken care of in the moving process, that the movers themselves balance being quick at what they do while always being safe and the cost of the service itself. Robert & Rudy are the utmost professionals at knowing the best manner of how to stage your items in their truck, they go about moving incredibly heavy things in such a nonchalant manner it actually might scare you at first until you realize they totally got this. And their rates are excellent, their experience and professionalism in this industry stands out significantly. I've never written a review on Yelp before but Robert & Rudy deserved to be praised so I'll finish by stating that I can't endorse their company strongly enough. Call Platinum Movers and rest assured you're in the best possible hands! read more

When I received a quote from Platinum Movers for my move from Santa Barbara to San Diego, I knew it was too low and I would be charged more at the end. I have a lot of stuff. I think an in-person assessment would have led to more accuracy. That being said, Eric, Taylor and Vince were amazing. I couldn't believe how much they fit on the truck - even though I did have to leave some pots with plants behind - and how well they worked together. They were so kind, professional, efficient and hard-working. They packed up things that were not in boxes and needed to be - they wrapped furniture with blankets and bubble wrap. They worked for a solid five hours (at least) on each end plus the drive. I was exhausted FOR them by the end of the move. I had A LOT of glassware, crystal, plates, platters and glass picture frames. Not a single thing was broken. This was my first move that, 1. nothing was broken and 2. nothing was "lost." Besides anything else all three guys were lovely human beings. I highly recommend using Platinum. read more

We called Platinum Movers in February to come give us an estimate after reading all the good reviews on Yelp. After Rob came to our home to give us a quote we were so impressed we canceled a meeting we had set up with another moving company. In March as moving day drew closer we texted Rob to see if it was possible to move us earlier since there were hints at that time of possible business closures. He texted us back that afternoon and said they could move us the next day. We were very thankful and because of that we were still able to have Cox come into our new home and install our cable system before that was discontinued. They showed up promptly and did a beautiful job wrapping everything. The crew hustled but were very careful at the same time. They were also great about listening to us explain where we wanted the furniture to go and they cleaned up after themselves before they left. We can't recommend them highly enough. Thanks again, Robert, to you and your crew for doing such a terrific job. read more

The move was successful, they showed up on time and ready to go as promised. They did a great job of wrapping all the furniture and disassembling everything. When i got to the new house and started putting everything away, i realized a desk was missing. After inquiring about it and not being able to figure out what happened, Rob offered to pay for it to make it right. That speedy gesture to correct the problem showed that they really care, that meant a lot. Make sure they do a thorough estimate. Mid way through packing the truck they were worried it wouldn't all fit. Rob said he didn't realize how much was stuffed into the closets and how mush outdoor stuff there was. They were ultimately able to stuff everything in one truck and make it work, thus avoiding needing a second trip or second truck. This was a good value for the money, they worked hard and got it all done in one day. They guys were nice and worked hard. Carlos is awesome! read more

I recently moved and felt overwhelmed by the process. I have lots of large furniture and handmade items that I am protective over and after my last moving experience with a hired company my anxiety was high. After talking to some other local moving businesses, Rob put me at ease with his professionalism and friendliness on the phone. The quote was very fair. Upon arrival, Nick and Rob were very outgoing and ready to work. They were very prompt and timely. They cared for my items and hustled the entire time. One of the aspects I noticed and was most impressed by them was their teamwork with one another and their hustle- between loading and unloading they were literally sprinting the entire time. All my items were safely cared for and treated well. Overall... 5 stars. Very impressed and will hire these guys next year when I buy my first home!!! Thanks guys! read more

I couldn't imagine a move going more smoothly than it did with Platinum Movers. Robert set up our move within a few hours of my call, and at a very fair rate. I moved from SB to the Bay Area to begin a new job, and Sam and Jeff, were kind and courteous, and very careful with our belongings. This was a very challenging move: we were moving into a third-floor walk up in a busy SF neighborhood, and the timing of the move required that Sam and Jeff arrive at rush hour. They had to circle the block while moving (!), and yet still had everything moved into our apartment in about 2 hours. Great guys, great team. If you're looking to make a move in SB, or a long distance move, Platinum is definitely the service you want. Thank you! read more

I had a relatively small moving job that was estimated to take only about 2 hours. Platinum was the only company that had less than a 3 hour minimum so the quote was far less than others were bidding for the job. There was an unforeseen/unavoidable circumstance that circumvented the schedule but Robert called me as soon as he knew of it and made calls to arrange for another moving company to handle my job for the same quoted price. He went the extra mile to make sure my job was covered even though it was probably one of the smaller jobs his company handles. I felt valued as a customer and wouldn't hesitate to call them again for a moving job in the future. Thank you, Robert for the great customer service you provided me. read more

Moving can be a very stressful situation but Robert and his team did an exceptional job relocating my home. These guys are serious athletes! They were able to move several, very fragile pieces of furniture including a pool table and a baby grand piano flawlessly. I contacted several businesses in Santa Barbara for help with my move and Robert responded quickly and professionally. He was able to answer all of my questions and even provided an on-site estimate the same day. I really appreciate the effort, hard work, and care Robert and his team put into the job from start to finish. I will absolutely work with Platinum in the future and highly recommend them to anybody who needs experienced movers. read more

Platinum Movers helped me and my husband move from Goleta to Santa Ynez! We went with Platinum based on a colleague's review and we were extremely satisfied. Booking was easy and they gave us an itemized quote so there were no surprises. Our crew was Luis, Nick and Issac and they were all extremely professional and efficient. They showed up promptly at 9AM and were able to wrap all of our furniture of our two bed (upstairs) apartment and load the truck within an hour. Everything arrived in perfect condition. This was our first time using movers and it honestly made the process so much easier and less stressful. We will definitely be recommending Platinum to all of our friends. read more

Platinum Movers took my move at the last minute as my situation happened on the spot and I needed an emergency move. The owner had a crew and truck at my office within an hour and they got right to business after I showed them exactly what needed to be moved. Eric the crew leader directed the guys with great professionalism and respect and they had everything in the building loaded up within a few hours. I was surprised because there was a lot of stuff. Other companies turned me down and said it was too soon too late, but Platinum Movers greatly helped me out and I'm massively appreciative that they took my job at such short notice. I highly recommend using these guys. read more

I can't say enough about Platinum movers. They were on time, professional, and truly cared about our belongings and move-in experience. Upon arrival, we all discovered our Pods container door would not open. The three guys on the job worked tirelessly to open it. Then the owner and his crew drove over from another job to help out. All six guys didn't give up and it finally opened. We wasted a lot of time on the Pod and the guys were well aware we were paying by the hour and were kind enough to let us know they would try to get everything unloaded quickly. Not one wall was nicked or floor scratched. These guys are the best and I can't recommend them enough!!! read more

I was happy with the service. Rob provided a no fuss quote which was great and was really flexible with moving date and time. The only thing I was surprised about was the charges one the guy calculated in the end. It was fuzzy but I was tired and I liked the way they cared for our property and took extra measures to secure aspects to prevent damages. So I just paid what he asked. I would hire them again if needed but discuss costs upfront more. Vinny was great! very respectful, and intuitive. Both Vinny and his work partner were efficient and skilled and kind to assemble our furniture securely. Overall a thumbs up from us! read more

I highly recommend Platinum movers. For the first time in my life I actually experienced a easy stress free move. I was impressed by the care and pride they took in each piece of furniture they handled. Everything was wrapped carefully and done with efficiency. They had a positive attitude and were extremely polite and made sure that all of my items were placed in the order I needed them. This is the best genuine moving experience I have ever encountered. The quality of their service was above and beyond what I expected. Hands down if I ever move again they will be my first and only choice. Thanks Robert and his team! read more

Robert and his movers were excellent--firstly, they were exactly on time. Secondly, they made sure to wrap everything carefully to prevent damage or from getting soiled--they shrink wrapped my mattress! How many times have you seen your movers just shove your mattress in the truck? They moved my one-bedroom across town in 2 hours flat. Everything was intact and they put everything where it needed to be. Also, they knew a sneaky way into my complex that made the move a breeze. I will only recommend this company in future. I hope I don't have to move again soon, but if I do, I'll be using them! read more
