    Puma packed a heavy cast iron pan on top of electronics with no packing paper anywhere, and oddly it was all on top of 3 pairs of shoes
    Rock M.

    I have only written 13 yelp reviews, all 5 stars because I don't waste my time writing reviews unless I really appreciate the excellent service/food. But Puma Moving was the opposite and deserves zero stars. I hired Puma because of their good yelp rating and immediate availability as we signed a new lease on the 28th of the month and were looking to move ASAP. They came on Sat to pack everything into boxes and move the boxes/furniture on Sun. Sun morning, I needed some items that they had already packed the day before. While opening a few boxes looking for the items, I quickly realized the packing job, which we paid $1100 for (this is just for the packing for our SF condo, not moving) was a complete disaster and would probably lead to damaging our things if moved. As an example, one of my laptops was haphazardly thrown into a box on top of misc shaped hard items with zero paper packing/bubble wrap. I also have a large bonsai tree in a delicate mud filled glass pot, which they oddly put in a cardboard box, unlabeled! It did not even have an arrow stating to keep upright and the branches were bent to fit in the box! Given how poorly the boxes were packed, we didn't trust the same movers to come back the next day, so made the hard decision to cancel the move. Things started out poorly. They showed up to pack items with just flat boxes and tape, but brought a giant moving truck and were so rude to my door man, that he actually called up complaining about the movers being "very aggravated" as they were trying to park. Puma had asked us to reserve parking for the move day. We live in a high-rise condo/hotel and reserved the loading bay that fits semi-trucks for the move day/Sun. There are many large van sized visitor spots available in my building anytime, but not moving-truck sized spots without reservation, but Puma had scheduled a move for another customer immediately after our packing, so drove a full sized moving truck here. They eventually found street parking and told us we were responsible for any parking tickets they received. I asked if it was an illegal spot to make sure they wouldn't get towed, and the manager Ricardo said it was two metered parking spots, but they didn't bother filling the meters. When I asked him why he didn't fill the meters (which can be paid by credit card) he tried to convince me the parking tickets would be cheaper than paying the meter. Obviously not true, so my wife went out to pay the meters. $8 later, problem solved. They quoted us over email $300-$360 for packing material, which seemed reasonable (it's just my wife and me in a 2bdrm SF condo and they did not pack one of the bdrms). When they finished packing, they charged us $760 for packing material. As I found out later, they did things like pack a rubbermaid storage box into a cardboard box 2x its size and otherwise empty (see pic), so it's not surprising they came out to double the estimated packing material. Also, we have a white cashmere throw on our couch and later found it in one of the boxes, as they had used it to wrap a statue as packing material. Wtf? I also packed a bookshelf of books. When I opened a box of the books, the books (along with my nice book ends) were thrown as if they just swiped their arm across the shelf so that none of the books were stacked in the box but in every direction. They did the same thing with shoes, throwing them randomly jumbled in a box, though they said they would layer the shoes and put packing paper in between the layers, when we asked how they pack shoes. I feel bad giving any business a one star rating, but this was a completely failed job. It was a tough to cancel the move because we didn't want to delay our move past the weekend and have to take time off work. Also, EVERYTHING of ours was packed in boxes that were poorly labeled only with the room (e.g. kitchen, office) or not labeled, so we had to search through a lot of boxes to even find clothes, toiletries, cups, etc. to last us to when we can find another moving company. The only positive thing i can say about them is the manager Ricardo packed carefully, but the other workers clearly were very sloppy. I actually tipped them after the first day since they seemed to work hard, and I was not there for most of the packing, so didn't realize how poor of a job they did until the next day when I opened some of the boxes. Zena, the office manager, who was our main contact, was responsive and professional, and when she saw the way the boxes were packed, said that wasn't the usual way they packed and only charged us for the original packing material quote ($360 vs. $760). She also let us cancel the move without a fight. We still ended up paying the $1100 for packing, but my wife and I spent our Sunday repacking more than half the boxes that they packed so poorly. Money wasted, time wasted, and still no move. Hopefully, our replacement movers do a better job.

Booking: I sent an inquiry directly with the company due to their stellar reviews, and they were able to schedule me in for my preferred time/day. The overall process was really convenient, especially because of their flexible time window. Moving: the two movers, Herman and Aleksei, were incredibly efficient and very sweet/patient throughout the move. I appreciate that they handled both my expensive & economical items delicately. Also, I wasn't completely prepared on my end with the move such as knowing details like where to park for loading/unloading or even which items to move vs discard, which I had been dreading for weeks. However, thanks to their expertise and versatility, the move was stress-free. And a huge shoutout to Herman for his guidance and coordination that really ensured a seamless experience. Overall, this company lives up to its 5-star rating, and I highly recommend Herman & Aleksei if they are available!

He walked me through every step of the process, answered all of my questions, and even helped me find every available discount. From the very first phone call, I felt I was in great hands. When the moving team arrived, Sasha (Alex), Zhenya (Eugene), and Sergey (Serge), that's when the real magic happened. These three are like modern day Spartans: strong, precise, efficient and incredibly patient. They immediately earned my complete trust. I was moving from a two-bedroom apartment (Dublin, CA to Danville, CA) filled with fragile furniture, glass pieces, mirrors, artwork, and a massive 9 foot tall, extremely heavy mirror. I honestly didn't think it was possible to move everything without damage. The way they wrapped and protected every single item was beyond impressive. There was simply no chance anything could break. They completed the entire move, including carefully wrapping, loading, transporting, unloading, and placing everything exactly where I wanted it, in less than 8 hours. The anxiety and stress of moving disappeared the moment I saw how professional and organized they were. The service felt truly VIP, the pricing was very affordable, and the entire experience was completely hassle-free. If you're not booking this company, you're missing out. I highly recommend them, especially James, Sasha, Zhenya, and Sergey. They went above and beyond, and I am sincerely grateful for everything they did. Thank you, James, Sasha, Zhenya, and Sergey! You made what could have been a stressful day an absolutely exceptional experience. I will recommend you to everyone I know!

So I knew no matter how long the move took and with the long distances, I already knew how much the max cost would be up front with no surprises. And they also offer a discount based on the way you paid them. WINNING! And so, I didn't use Pure Moving just once, but three times this month. The first time, I had to move from Union City to a storage facility in Elk Grove and this past weekend we had two teams going, one from San Jose to Elk Grove and the other from the storage facility to our new home. Pure Moving was perfect in all ways possible. They were professional, prompt, efficient, and super friendly. They handled and wrapped items with care and made you feel at ease that everything was going to be safe and secure. They disassembled furniture as needed and reassembled it on site. One great detail, they laid down plastic protectors everywhere to keep things clean and tidy where they would be stepping. And cleaned up all the plastic wrap/coverings, cardboard and tape they used while packing and unpacking. They literally took care of all the heavy - and even the light - lifting! I just want to say thank you to Paul, Nick, Toha, Dan and Symon for taking care of our move and my Family. Moving is already stressful but they made it Pure-ly AWESOME!
