I've moved the cheap way on my own 3 times and once with friends and a rental truck. This was my first time hiring movers and I had no idea where to start. I did a basic google search but that was overwhelming and confusing on how to understand the pricing system. I finally had a friend tell me he utilized yelp for a project inquiry and that helped in getting businesses to reach out to me with a little more of a targeted price, but it also felt like a lot of the responses where AI responses. Prime Moving was the only company who called me. I honestly still wasn't 100% sold as I wanted a more concrete rate that I would be paying and not put in a situation where any movers knowing it's an hourly rate past the required 3 hours could take advantage of the situation and take longer to get more money. I fully understand it's nearly impossible to determine how long a move will take but I think most still want some sense of security that it'll only cost "xyz" amount. This isn't a comment specific to Prime Moving but the moving industry as a whole from what I experienced. A friend had mentioned they utilized Prime Moving so I felt that bit of security and ultimately went with them. Adam was one of the two movers and both were very kind and professional. They wrapped the items I need and got my moved out and into my new place in such an efficient manner I was trying to keep up with them. read more

Daniel and John recently helped us move all of our belongings to Temecula. These guys are very efficient. I was surprised how quickly they were able to collect everything and carefully load and unload. They truly care about the items you own. They were even great about disassembling our tv and furniture.

I originally was not going to write a review even though these guys were the worst movers I have ever worked with. It's been almost two months since I completed my move and I keep finding damages on various pieces of furniture, such as tape / glue stuck to the side my dresser, numerous chips on various pieces of my bed frame and headboard, scratches on my expensive $8000 massage chair and more. During the move these guys broke a light fixture on the stairwell, broke the handle of the screen door and dents the walls on the stairway walls. To add to the above, it took over 8 hours to move from a two bedroom townhome to a one bedroom townhome where approximately half the furniture and boxes went in the garage. FYI...The distance between the pickup and drop off was within a 12 mile radius, so drive time was minimal. Total screwups and very unprofessional movers. I would have been better off hiring day labors from U-Haul or Home Depot. Definitely would have saved several hundred dollars. If you value your furniture items don't want to repair holes in the walls or other broken items, I would suggest staying as far away from these guys as possible. By the way they provide my moving services under the name "Prime Moving" FYI.... I received a call from these guys asking what it would take to remove my negative review. They even offered me money. This probably is why they don't have more negative reviews. read more

The guys at Akela Moving are fantastic. They provided fast and reliable service; taking extreme care of our furniture, quickly disassembling and reassembling multiple pieces of furniture, and ensuring we had everything set exactly where and how we wanted it. Our move was not easy job, but Jake, Eric and Dan handled it like champs! We had 3 flights of stairs with no elevator and they guys hiked it countless times carrying multiple boxes or incredibly large furniture including our gigantic refrigerator! They expertly packed all our furniture with extra padding to ensure everything was delivered without a scratch. I was a little worried about moving our 3 glass display cases, but then I saw how awesome they protected them for transit that all my worries disappeared. When we got to our new home, I really appreciated how well they cleaned up all the extra wrappings after our move and placed things in a neat and organized way. Their care and customer service blew me away and I will definitely use them again. Thanks so much guys! Our new place looks great! read more

I hired them to move my 1bedroom apartment on the 4th floor of an apartment building to a 2nd floor apartment across town. They were extremely diligent and professional. They helped wrap my furniture and move several fragile items without damaging them or getting things dirty. They also did it in a very timely manor.. I would absolutely hire them again for my next move! read more

We hired Akela Moving to move a two bedroom apartment, we had three movers, Jason was very helpful with beds and table assembling. The whole process took 6 hours. They did not charge us double driving time because it was 6 miles drive for 15 mins. and the price is unbeatable for 3 man moving! Moving beds and sofas to third floor is challenging and they managed to finish the whole moving with professional attitude. However, they were late for our job but it was understandable because they traveled from Los Angeles to Irvine, and the traffic was bad. In the end, Jason the foreman decided to give his share of the tip to other two helpers! He is a very nice person to work with. Over all, the moving was good! We would definitely hire them again but I would prefer the moving to be morning next time so we don't experience any delay ! read more

Absolutely a fantastic experience! We were lucky enough to have Nick & Max help us with our move from Escondido to Lemon Grove. These 2 guys were so much stronger than they looked! We were honestly a little worried on how long it would take 2 guys to move our 2bd2bth into a 2bd 1 bath. We had capped our budget at $1k and thought we would go over our budget but Nick and Max were SO efficient. They hauled over 70 storage boxes (the Costco kind), furniture, bed frames, electronics, and even a heavy solid wood dresser down 14 steps to get to our new place! Heck if I could ask them to lift me up and down the stairs I totally would've! A total of maybe 7 hours of packing, loading and unloading! We made small conversation and I found out they are from Kazakhstan! I am from Malaysia and so we had a good brief conversation about our similar cultures. They were so kind and constantly moving our things even though they were EXHAUSTED! 10/10 would highly recommend Max and Nick, GIVE THEM A RAISE!!! read more

I just finished my moving experience with Akela Moving today and am so happy with the outcome! I was extremely stressed out during this move and they made the experience so easy and stress free. When we arrived at my new home, I had my newly delivered couches sitting on my front porch and the first thing Rafael offered was to bring it in, unbox it and help me place it exactly where I wanted! Rafael and company definitely went above and beyond and on top of that, are very nice and thoughtful in moving. Going into this move, I had my concerns with hiring a moving company since my last experience with another company didn't go so well, so I am beyond relieved at how smooth this all went! Akela moving are going to be my go-to moving company and will recommend to everyone I know! PS, you can't beat their pricing either! read more

These guys were great! I ended up having to schedule my move last minute, the Sunday before the last day of the month, and they got right back to me even though I was reaching out on a Sunday evening! Understandably most companies were unable to schedule me at this late in the month with such short notice but these guys got back to me right away, after exchanging messages they called me up and we discussed particulars. After a few easy steps we had my movers scheduled for the morning on the day I needed them. The communication was great and they showed up within the window they had promised. The guys who showed up listened to my needs and after assessing the move, they got right to work. They went above and beyond in terms of wrapping my crates of vinyl record albums as well as my furniture. They worked quickly and as a team. The unloading was done very efficiently as well, and they got everything done in less time than I was expecting. When it came time to pay, they had a digital invoice with all the estimated charges reflected on it and nothing hidden or surprising at the end. They charged exactly how they said they would and everything was so much easier than it could have been. I am very glad I used Akela Moving and recommend them highly, and would use them again for future moving needs. Thanks guys! read more

Moving can be stressful but Akela made moving day so easy for me. When I reached out to moving companies on Yelp, Akela was quick to respond with availability and price estimates. Day of move, the movers came on time. My movers were Mike and another gentleman whose name I did not get. They were quick and efficient with getting my stuff in their truck. I was most worried for my Peloton bike, but they handled it with care. The movers were able to get my things (including my Peloton) to my new place in perfect condition. When they finished, paying was really easy to do, since Akela takes Zelle and Venmo. I recommend them and I will probably call up Akela when I move again. read more

Extremely hard working professionals that get things done in a timely manner. I've used this company twice and have had no issues. Will call them for future services when needed. read more

I cannot recommend them highly enough. I reached out to tons of movers and they were the easiest to get quotes from. They gave me quotes based on videos of the house and came a few days before the move to give me some wardrobe boxes. They disassembled and packed everything very very quickly and with care. They packed the truck so efficiently that there wasn't any wasted space. They drove from California to TX with nothing broken and did a great job placing things in the right spots and reassembling everything. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again. They were very responsive before and during the move and super easy to work with. It was a very hard job but they didn't complain and did great! read more

Great service. Very meticulous and detailed - probably slows them down a bit, but would rather be slower than have anything broken. Overall: 1. provides packing service. extra boxes / materials might be extra. 2. no other hidden costs. paid for 4 movers at the quoted price. 3. Moved all items; no items were lost or broken - which is the true hallmark for moving. 4. Did all this in a very challenging terrain - my place was an uphill walk to the common garage, then another few flights to get to unit, then 3 floors within the unit. Highly Recommend! read more
