Recently moved with some help from Alex & Francisco at San Diego Small Moves. Super professional and quick! They handled all my furniture and boxes with better care than I would have, haha. No damage whatsoever, quick, and the quotes and rates they gave me were easy to understand (unlike every other moving company I spoke to, lol). Gladly recommend them to anyone looking to have an easy moving experience read more

Would not use again or recommend. Hired to move mother's furniture from one apartment to another at a senior residence. Unprofessional, inconsiderate, and stole items. 1. The crew, Leo and Deion, showed up 45 minutes late but had time to stop at Starbucks for coffee. 2. They did not bring a furniture dolly or hand truck because their equipment was in their truck which was in the shop for repair. Poor planning given I booked one week in advance. Then they asked to use the senior residence's bellhop cart instead. Inappropriate. 3. Lastly after they left I realized the cell phone stand I have been using this past week while packing my mother's apartment was missing. I had used it just that morning before they arrived and no one else has been in the apartment. I now wonder if they took anything else. Possibly jewelry but I don't have my mom's items memorized so hard to tell. What an awful experience for the $350 2-hr minimum plus 3% surcharge for not paying cash, for essentially one hour of work. I didn't give them hard time about being late or not having any equipment even though it was very annoying and an inconvenience to me, but to discover they stole something so petty from an elderly woman and that I actually gave them a tip is adding insult to injury. They should be ashamed of themselves but I doubt they care given their lack of work ethic. I emailed the owner Alex but he never responded. read more

I just finished moving into my new apartment and I'm glad to finally write this review for San Diego Small Moves! Alex and Marcus were on time and ready to help me move a bed and dresser from a friend's house to take to my new place. It turned out that the home had been flooded recently and Alex was very honest and told me that the furniture was damaged and would break due to the moisture in the wood. Thankfully, I ended up not taking any of the furniture thanks to their advice which saved me a lot of hassle and money. Alex was very responsive on Yelp, email, and phone from start to finish which is great customer service. I would highly recommend San Diego Small Moves to anyone! 5/5 Star Recommendation Summary 1. Great communication 2. Honest 3. Reliable 4. Great value 5. Support small local business read more

I booked San Diego Small Moves for my son's room from his apartment. I booked the service in less than 24 hours. I called and emailed the company the day before the move. Everything worked out well, it was a quick and professional move. The movers wrapped all of the furniture which was nice. They stacked everything neatly and we're willing to move anything we asked. It took 1-hour although they required a 2 hour minimum. They charged me a flat rate of $320 (for 1-hour) but that was the best I could find without having to book a 3-hour minimum. The movers were very kind and professional. I would recommend this company again. read more

MASSIVE shout out to Luis, Victor, Saki, and Alex of SD Small Moves for a flawless experience with my recent move. They helped transform a typically stressful experience into a smooth and pleasant one. Highly recommended. They are extremely efficient, treat your items with the upmost respect, and are incredibly respectful. Everyone hustled and worked hard. They treated my possessions like their own. We seriously couldn't have asked for a better team to move our belongings from a 1BR apartment to a storage unit. Pricing is very reasonable. Communication from beginning through end was prompt and professional from Jay and Ken. They don't just do small moves - the team mentioned they can also accommodate larger and longer distance moves having completed several cross-state moves recently. Again, I sincerely appreciated their positive attitudes, professional demeanor, and outstanding service. I'll be in touch once it comes time to move my items out of storage and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this team of movers to others! read more

Terrible customer service this time around, especially from the owner. Who says "more bad news" in any regard when addressing a customer?! Even more so, a customer that has previously used this company twice and spent thousands of dollars already. Actual email from owner at 9:30pm this evening: I apologize for the errors our employee made. He is new and did not map out the distance you are from San Diego. For a drive up to Irvine we would need to add $200 gas / milage fee to your job. Also you wrote that you have 3 flights of stairs but you didn't specify which location that was (point A or point B) ? Also how many flights of stairs do you have at the other location? Please specify what floor you live on and what floor you are moving into? Is there an elevator at other location that you did not specify? Since you do have 3 flights of stairs at one location, we do need to add one extra mover. That is too many stairs for only 2 movers so for 3 movers we would also increase the price again $40 per hour. So the first two hours will have an additional $80. All in all new price quote = $830 for 2 hours + $160 additional hour for 3 movers and a moving truck with all the supplies. Also finally more bad news, since your move will occupy a lot more time than originally planned, we can't move you on Monday 05/08. We can book you for the Sunday before 05/07 or the following Tuesday 05/09. Will that work for you? read more

San Diego Small Moves - Email - Movers Near Me

Heaven Sent!!! My cousin had promised to help me move and then canceled. I was very upset as It wasn't in my budget to expense movers. After strategizing and looking around social media reviews (google and yelp) I came across SD Small Moves. I made my decision after watching a small very well directed video of the company in action and this is what enticed me. Called them spoke to Jadyn and she quoted me for 2 hours based on the description of items being moved. Date and time on a Super Bowl weekend was not affected like other companies quoted extra for weekend move. It's an upfront honest quote. The entire experience was SEAMLESS, I made sure I was prepared and everything was packed/sealed ready to load. I didn't leave any small items for the "movers" to handle. I think this is something we tend to overlook and don't keep in mind this ADDS time and cost $$ if you are not properly ready to go. They are movers not magicians. Proper planning prevents poor performance. I booked for 2 hours my 2 movers were STELLAR (Luis ALWAYS had a smile on his face) arrived on time and gave me a courtesy notice on ETA. SO friendly, efficient, professional and set the tone for my day! Thank you Luis and Rambo you da best!! read more

Deon and Leo were early to my house and ready to work. They moved a room full of oak office furniture from the second floor without dinging the walls or banister. The furniture went to my son's house in PB. They were patient as we argued where to put things. I would hire them again. read more

We picked SD Small Moves to move us across town. The quoting process was simple and transparent and I appreciated that they didn't charge double drive time. In general, the move went very well. Nothing of ours was damaged (just a sconce light that was bent in our apartment when it was hit with the bed frame) or lost. They did a fantastic job wrapping and using furniture blankets on all of our stuff. We have a very large heirloom mirror that we were anxious about which was fine. See pictures. There was really only one issue. The move was scheduled for 9:00am on a Saturday. They did not show up until 2:05pm. The movers told us that several employees had called out sick and they'd had to hire extra help off craigslist to cover. Luckily, we were able to tolerate the delay and the movers themselves were very nice and apologetic. Saki, Ricky, and Kevin were wonderful. We were only quoted for two movers but a third showed up partway through the move and we weren't charged extra. We did spend the extra money for damage coverage which we didn't end up needing, but good for peace of mind. When we got to billing, I was put on the phone with the guy who does payment and give him my card info. He essentially rounded down the total price such that we ended up getting the last 45 minutes for free. It took them about 4.25 hours total (2.5 load, 0.5 drive, 1.25 unload), for a 1 bedroom apartment (and no small stuff, only boxes and furniture). The movers also made it right when it came to payment given the late start. Aside from the late start, everything went swimmingly. I would tend to say this was just a bad day for them schedule-wise and not the norm, and would definitely hire them again. Money well spent! read more

Movers were hard working, professional and had a good attitude. I had some very heavy and awkward items and they never complained once. No hidden fees, price was exactly as quoted. This was the best experience I have ever had with movers and would highly recommend this business. read more

First, let me say, by far, this has been the BEST moving company that I've used! Alex and Jay arrived on-time prepared and ready to get the ball rolling. The professionalism and speed was absolutely SUPERB!!! I've moved quite a bit in the past and I can tell you, if I move in the future, I will be using San Diego Small Moves and I will definitely recommend them to friends and family. Thank you guys for making my move so smooth and easing my stress!!! Please do not hesitate to book them, you will not be disappointed!!! read more

Great experience with these movers. All of their staff is incredibly professional and helpful.

Before I even agreed to do the job I asked Ken about his insurance. It says it covers 60 cents per pound. That is just ridiculous. I called him and spoke to him about it and he said, hey if we damage something I'll cover it, you have my word. We do great work and we are very careful. I said, ok I'm taking you by your word. He also told me they would be there at 9am and be loaded and on the road by 11am. The guys showed up an hour late and it took them 7 hours to load everything. This fouled up my entire day and plans to be on the road by noon. I specifically told them to be careful with a genuine leather recliner. So the next day I was at new destination, the driver told me he would drive till 10pm that night then get up early to meet me at the new house early. Well they never left San Diego. Instead they changed the plan without telling me and left San Diego the next morning so they didn't arrive till after 2pm. Again fouling up my entire day as we waited for hours for them to arrive. When they arrived they unloaded the leather recliner and I noticed that it wasn't even wrapped. So I quickly inspected it and sure enough it had scratched and scuffs on one of the arms. I immediately pulled the driver over and showed him and said, you guys didn't even wrap this and I specifically told you to be careful! He just shrugged and said, hey we tried, we're not perfect. I messaged Jen and showed him pictures of this and a mattress that they drug on the ground and ruined my. He quickly referred to his ridiculous insurance again saying oh we estimate those to be a couple hundred pounds we'll give you $120. I said, the chair alone is worth $1000 and besides you gave me your personal guarantee! How are you going to make this right. He never responded. And an entire box is missing! I will never use this company ever again! read more

These guys were so great. They started great on the phone by asking good questions. They were easy to work with, showed up on time and handled it all with a great attitude. I was helping a disabled friend move, and they were just great around her and were respectful as we moved into the facility. Highly recommend.... b read more

These guys rock!!! They moved me downtown last weekend, Top notch service with a smile, Very professional with good prices read more

Great movers! I was nervous because I had never hired movers, but they did a great job. Professional, quick, and communicative. Nothing was damaged or broken and no surprise fees. They even broke down an extra piece of furniture that I was going to take to a different location later. I would definitely hire them again. read more

Really great if you have a small move for a low price, the two men who moved me were very respectful and got everything done efficiently. However they lost a star because I don't agree with the company not allowing debit or credit cards as a form of payment. I live in the real world where those are ALWAYS acceptable payment methods pretty much anywhere. I encountered an issue when I hit my zelle limit for 24hrs and my Venmo account was having issues, in the middle of moving my boyfriend called them and whoever he spoke too said credit card was ok, then completely changed his mind somehow and said only cash, zelle, Venmo, or cash app. It's kinda shady business practice but if you're looking to save a buck it's for you however I will not be using this company again for that very reason. I had so much stress for something that could of been avoided if they took normal payment methods. read more

The company arranged the appointment promptly to your request. The movers are polite, they are strong, they put everything where you want and no complaints when you change your mind relocating. They wrap furniture and paintings professionally. For my moving, they got my mattresses dirty, broke dinning table one leg, accidentally dropped one box and broke two bowls. read more

Used this company today for the SECOND time and we are as impressed with them today as we were when we used them almost two years ago. The guys today arrived on time, great communication, were efficient and moved fast. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend this company. Thank you. read more

​We used San Diego Small Moves to move a short distance from Mission Valley to Serra Mesa. Alex was very communicative in quoting us a price and following up to help us provide the information they needed. He also informed us of what to expect on moving day​ so that there were no surprises.​ Spencer and Sean showed up on time as expected. They were both very friendly and easy to work with. They worked hard to get our stuff loaded up and move to our new house​!​ read more

SD Small Moves was really great. I used them to move a really large piece of furniture from my mom's house to mine on short notice and they were super accommodating! They're very professional with communication and the workers are super friendly and helpful. My mom's partner has ALS and they were all really careful with their health precautions while at her house and when they arrived at my home they couldn't have been any nicer if they tried. My mom said she was blown away by how friendly they all were, I agreed. I was charged a flat fee, not a three hour minimum like all the other places quoted me. This was incredible in my opinion. I was also promised two movers, instead three showed up for the same price. The job went very smoothly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or use them again in the future. Thanks again for all your help! read more

This is my second time using San Diego Small Moves, and they delivered yet again. My partner and I moved from his place in Chula Vista to La Mesa and from my place in La Mesa to another location. To start they were on time for the move and during this move, the individuals Michael and Leo were very professional, while being very kind. They both were cautious with our belongings while keeping a great pace in getting the move done. What could have been a stressful day turned into a great day with a reliable moving company. And for the office staff, were professional, and very detailed in the information provided and what to expect. While settling our bill because we did go over time, the information on collecting for services was the exact same that was given to me prior so there were no surprises. This is a great and honest company to use for moving. Would definitely recommend it. read more

I used the company to move items in boxes and some shelving between storage units. The units were a few miles apart. The workers were very pleasant to work with and got the job done quickly. The price was $350 for up to two hours. They were done more quickly than that. All went well, and I would use them for a similar move in the future. read more

Hired them for a small move from La Mesa to OB. Alex and Juan were so helpful and efficient. Definitely the most reasonably priced movers I researched. They're professional and just overall awesome. If I ever have to move again, I'd use San Diego Small Movers and recommend them for any move you may have. read more

I moved from California to Arizona, at the last minute I ran into some issues, Alex and his team were so helpful, with a big smiles on their face. I highly recommend San Diego Small Moves. They installed my bed immediately. read more

I had a last minute move. A friend recommended San Diego Small Moves (Alex). They did not disappoint. They were fast, reliable, reasonably priced and arrived right on time. As soon as they arrived, identified what was to be moved, they were on it. Not a minute wasted. read more

These guys are a class act all the way!! Responded quickly to my request for a quote, scheduled me within two days, told me when they were going to be there, updated me on their status (got delayed by a move that took longer), and then when they did show up, they got everything packed, wrapped, and loaded in 30 mins. After a short 10 min drive to my new place, they had every thing unloaded, unwrapped, and placed where I wanted it, assembled, in another 30 mins. VERY impressive and deserving of all the business! I will be using them for all future moves in the area. Their price is very reasonable for the level of care and efficiency they showed. Highly recommend for your San Diego moves! read more

Update : I was very happy in the past with San Diego Small Moves . I contracted them 3 times in the past 7 months . Sadly, that was not the case today . This week I had yet another move that I was arranging . Moving Mom into assisted care . As you can imagine it's a stressful time . I contacted Small Moves on Tuesday . They quickly replied confirming they would move Mom on Friday for 280$ basically a bedroom set and a few other items. We have packed everything and have it staged in our garage. Thursday at 4:15 I receive a call from San Diego small moves . Of course , I think they are just calling to confirm the time/date for the NEXT day . Nope ! They were calling to tell me that they Mis-Quoted ! The move would now be 480$ !!! Again , this is the day before ! They tell me that my location is far from them . Again , they moved Moms furniture in to the same location , less than 6 months ago . The last three moves were the same price that I was quoted for this move . Had they quoted me 480$ when confirmed I would have declined and had plenty of time to find an alternative. But the day before ? At 4:15 in the afternoon . Seems to me this company has no integrity. I received an email from the owner explaining that the company would loose money , if the completed my move . I will NEVER recommend San Diego Small Moves to anyone . Be very careful, they completely let me down . read more

Alex answered the phone immediately and I was so grateful. We had a moving company scheduled and they were a no show and no call to let us know they weren't coming! Alex was able to get a crew together and be at my house in less than 2 hours. We had four pieces, including a sleeper sofa and large dining table, to move from the upstairs to the driveway outside where people were going to pick it up. They were done in less than an hour and I am thrilled to have found them Thank you!! read more

Guys were hard working but not trained. I appreciate them. However they broke my TV, broke my outdoor lamp, took hours to move, although I was told it would be a few hours. They didn't do inventory and forgot some of my equipment, left at my previous home that I discovered. Jay H, DSM was a nightmare to deal with and uses insurance of $500 deductible so he doesn't have to be accountable to providing a professional service and helping resolve broken equipment issues that his employees broke. He also requested I sign a non disclosure agreement if he could pay me an extra $150 above the $500 deductible I was out of pocket for my broken TV and outdoor lamp. I declined. Seriously..Also I had to Venmo some remote person, not registered moving company the cost of the move. Nothing written, no receipt unless you request. Would never recommend. Unprofessional moving company. If anything breaks you are automatically $500 out of pocket .Jay H ( doesn't even share his full name) provides poor customer service and takes days to respond to a complaint and then he plays hard ball. read more

I found this company through Yelp for my mom's move from her home to a small apartment in assisted living. Mike was thorough and explained what they do and provided documents to review to consider when packing her things so I scheduled with this company right away. Mike called about 30 minutes before their start time to let me know they were on their way and just stopping to pick up the mattress bag. They packed up quickly and were very careful with her belongings by wrapping the furniture well with moving blanket and taping them securely.They even took a floor lamp I had planned to hand carry and it arrived in excellent condition. Both men started unloading quickly at her new place and said if we had scissors we could remove the tape. I got the message that this would speed up their completion time so we helped by peeling off the tape and removing the heavy, protective blankets. They were finished in under 2 hours and were amazingly fast. I would highly recommend San Diego Small Moves to anyone who needs a great service quickly and promptly. I was so happy with both of them and found it to be a great value for what they quoted. They were on time and on budget so I gave them a good tip. I would highly recommend San Diego Small Moves to anyone and I would contact them again for any move needed. read more

We were moving locally from a two bedroom, two bath house to a two bed, two bath condo. The negotiation with the owners via email went okay. Set up the move time and date with all the details provided ahead of time. On the day of, Leo and two other guys showed up within the timeframe given. It took longer than anticipated but the guys did a good job as we also requested some packing services in the kitchen and one bedroom. All the pieces were wrapped well and handled with great care. The beds were disassembled and reassembled well. The move did take longer than expected and by the end of the long day, we found out the movers had left the cords to our electric couches back at the old place. I had to go back and get them because I wanted to make sure the couches worked as before before they left. Come to find out, they only partially work now and I have to figure out what part is broken/not connected correctly, which is the reason for the 1 star deduction. Otherwise, good service and I would use again. This is actually my second using the service. Slightly more expensive than other movers but worth the price for the care they take with your possessions. read more

I had a small move from San Diego to South orange county and it couldn't have gone smoother. DJ and Anthony were a great team, they were very careful with all my belongings and were respectful of both properties. They were quick but not rushed hence the great job. The price was right especially considering the aggravation I skipped bothering friends and breaking my back. I highly recommend SDSM considering the experience I had. read more

Alex and his team did a great job moving our home from SF to OC. They were quick and efficient and packed everything nicely. They were also more affordable than the competitors. Would definitely use them again. read more

San Diego Small Moves - Movers Near Me

No joke, this was the best possible experience I could have had with hiring movers. These guys, Alex and Luis, were FAST, strong, professional, and kind. They brought everything I could have possibly needed to move my pictures, furniture, dog stuff, just everything. I was feeling frazzled moving and trying to go to work this afternoon but these guys legit finished early. I love the flat rate, they were super clear about what I wanted moved and where I wanted it in the new place. They even asked about my puppy and celebrated me moving to a place with a backyard for him. Overall just a positive experience and you can tell that these guys are 100% professional. THANK YOU!!!! read more
