We had a very complicated move from San Francisco to Santa Fe, NM. We didn't just pack up our house, but we also packed up my mothers, combined everything, put it all in storage until we found a single home in Santa Fe and then moved everything in. On the initial moving day we had two crews, one at each house and then we had one of these two crews actually move us in 2 months later. Exceptional. When I moved to San Francisco from NYC 27 years ago, I used one of the large national firms - the guys who delivered my stuff arrived almost 2 weeks late and were largely guys picked up from a home depot parking lot. When my mother arrived in San Francisco 10 years ago, again using a national firm, the truck arrived with only a driver and his drugged out girlfriend and no one to unload the truck. I share this as a point of comparison. Whether you are dealing with Kim or Bobby in the office or the guys moving your stuff, everyone is kind, enthusiastic and helpful. The the crews themselves are a really connected and supportive team. Many of these guys have worked for Shamrock for a long time - another proof point that this is a great company. In terms of price Shamrock was slightly cheaper than a bid from Allied, too, and there was no up charge at the end of it all. This is a great and trustworthy company. read more

I have recommended Shamrock to a number of clients. They are careful and honest. They do a good job and are so reliable!

We had them pack our stuff and put it in a pod to move out of state. The movers who helped us unload on the other end commented that they did a great job fitting everything in the pods! Obviously it's never perfect when someone else packs your boxes for you, but we are very happy with the results. Pricing was straightforward, no funny business there. Good communication as well. read more

Got a quote from them but it was much more than the competitors. Went with Shannon moving.

They were awesome and better than any I have tried. Completely recommend. They were on time, polite and nice.

The team at Shamrock helped us move from one home to another in San Francisco. Having unfortunately experiences with movers, I found Shamrock to be AMAZING. Victor and his team were on time, they were very careful with our furniture, they were nice, they were wiling to move all of our stuff (including our very heavy planters). Their estimate was also very accurate in terms of estimated number of hours to move our stuff. Their pricing was consistent with 2 other moving companies... HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM (Ask for Victor!)! read more

Shamrock Moving & Storage - Movers Near Me - San Francisco, California

Highly recommend. If you are looking for movers who are skilled, prompt, responsible, and responsive, these are your guys. They were quick to quote, responsive to our questions, prompt on moving day, did an amazing job getting heavy items through small openings and up stairs, and easy with billing and payment. We were especially impressed when we called them up two months later when we noticed a ding in the floor. They sent someone over without question and fixed it right up so we can't even see the ding. Thank you Shamrock! read more

I've used Shamrock Moving twice in the last three years and every time, these guys impress me more and more with their efficiency and professionalism. Everyone I've interacted with from Shamrock was helpful and responsive. From booking the move via the phone with Lisa, to the ordering and delivery of the moving boxes (very reasonable pricing, btw), to the actual movers, all of these guys deserve A+ for their excellent customer service! Victor, Alberto, and Jose were the ones that helped me with my recent move. Not only were they professional and punctual, but they were also very careful with our furniture. The guys made sure all of the furniture were well protected. We have a very thin 65" OLED TV that my husband was very concerned about getting damaged during the move, but these guys were very careful with it so we had no issues. The guys also proactively asked me for felt pads once we got to the new house, so they can apply them to the feet of my furniture to protect against the hardwood floors. Best part, they did this without me asking! They followed my instructions well and had a great attitude all day. (moving is hard work!) I really appreciate how hard these guys worked and how much pride they put into their work. Without a doubt, I will use Shamrock again for my future moves. Lastly, I love that Shamrock will come pick up empty moving boxes after you're done unpacking! It's great to be eco-concise and recycle/reuse cardboard boxes! read more

I used Shamrock Moving & Storage to move my one bedroom apartment. They did an OUTSTANDING job. The team arrived on time, packed everything efficiently and with care. Francisco, Gabriel & team did amazing work. Everything arrived in perfect condition. Francisco even tightened the screws on the dining room chairs when they arrived at their new home. This is the type of customer service that is hard to find these days. The office staff was courteous on the phone and via email. They followed-up on every question I had in a timely matter. I have moved before and it has been painful. That was just not the case with Shamrock. I highly recommend them. The estimate was right on the money and there were no surprises. I will use them again and recommend them to others. Last thing to add-- they were mindful of CDC guidelines and all 3 movers wore masks and did appropriate social distancing. The move was efficient and safe. THANK YOU Shamrock team! read more

Moving is disruptive, messy, and emotional, so finding a mover who responds quickly, cares about your belongings, knows how best to wrap everything for transport, and keeps everything simple and efficient--all with enthusiasm and cheerfulness--well, you just want to hug them. As a side note, couples don't always agree on what goes where, and conflicting instructions are inevitable. Our Shamrock movers were patient and gracious, even when our mistakes created more work. Well done guys! read more

We used Shamrock twice in the last three years and highly recommend them. They are very professional before and during the process, which makes everything feel a little calmer. Victor's team moved us both times and did it quickly and safely without any damage to structures or furniture. This last move we had to hoist our sofa two stories through a window and they did it with ease. Huge thanks to the Bobby and his crews for another successful move! read more

Shamrock Moving & Storage - Movers Near Me - San Francisco, California

I am giving Shamrock Moving & Storage 5 Stars. I would give them 10 if I could. I worked with Victor and his team of 4. Shamrock packed my house, stored my furniture for 6 months, then when I finally found my new place to live, they delivered and unpacked everything. My furniture was wrapped with protective blankets and arrived with no damage. The whole team was so polite and accommodating. I don't want to move again for a very long time, but I told Victor I would hire them again in a heartbeat!!! read more

Got recommendations from my HOA for them and decided to give it a try. They impressed me over the phone so even though they were the most expensive out of all, I decided to go with shamrock. And they didn't disappoint. Starting with Jose who came to do the estimate, he took maybe 10 minutes only but his assessment was so thorough and accurate!!! He was very helpful in giving me tips what to prioritize in packing and what not. Prior to the day, Kim made sure I knew what I needed to do and patiently answered all my questions. On the move say, Victor, Alberto, Rigo and Jose showed up. They were awesome! My HOA is pretty strict and they are more familiar with all the rules than I am (well, I just moved in)- so that was very helpful especially knowing what to look for during pre- and post-move walk downs. As I unpack the boxes they packed, I am still amazed by their attention to details especially when they were packing the kitchen stuff, the breakables, etc. Yes, they are not cheap, but it's worth it! Another thing that is hard to find, they all seem to enjoy working for this company for years! read more

I've used Shamrock 4 times now! I hope to never need them because I just don't want to move again...but if I do, I will use them again. I've used office moving and residential packing, moving, & storage. Friendly, easy quotes. I did one move on a fixed price where someone came to survey everything I was moving and the other moves were done on an estimate. The estimates were always right so I was charged what they estimated. Crew was always on time or early. Very efficient and careful with things (well as careful as you would expect movers to be). They will deliver boxes ahead of time to you if you're packing on your own. Usually they offer used boxes at a discount if you want those. For storage, if you need to access it, there are lots of different fees you should just understand if for some reason you need access to your vaults. In order for them to get the parking permit for you, you need to ask them well in advance and they will add charges to your bill. Otherwise you can go down and get your own parking permit. You can chance double parking etc, but it's at your own risk. For slow residential neighborhoods, you could risk it, or try to save a spot with your own car, but in the heavily trafficked mixed use areas with metered parking, you may want to get the parking permit. read more

I would highly recommend Shamrock to anyone who needs moving services and or storage! My husband and I moved out of San Francisco, and Shamrock moved and packaged our things, stored, and then eventually moved everything into our new East Bay home. Victor, Jose and one other gentlemen who's name I unfortunately didn't catch did both of our moves and they were professional, courteous, efficient and took great care with our things. We worked with Helen to book our move/storage, and she was always very responsive and helpful. We will absolutely use them again for our next move. Thank you Shamrock for making our moves as easy as can be and painless! read more

The good bad and ugly moving experience with Shamrock has me questioning why there are so many great reviews for this company. This is my 4th move in the bay area in the past 7 years - unfortunately I'm getting to be a pro at this and also therefore have a frame of reference as to what to expect. Hired Shamrock for an apartment move. Full packing service, full insurance, etc. Items being moved are of nice quality. The individual who came out to do the assessment told me they had picked up from my building before and they knew what size truck to send for the loading dock. Estimate was reasonable but on the higher end compared to others but with their reputation, I wanted a good move, said ok. Booking was easy. They do book up fast so book in advance if you decide to move forward. Day of pack and move, the team shows up with a truck too big to fit in the loading dock and they asked me what to do about it. Seriously? They parked illegally on the street as a work around and were lucky to have any parking (on Tehama). The team was efficient, friendly and packed up everything quickly. The next set of problems came on move in - two pieces of furniture were broken. An occasional plate or dish- sure, I can see that happening however to break two pieces of furniture - one a custom lucite desk chair and the 2nd a large mirrored sideboard indicates to me they don't know how to protect items and load a truck properly. I was pretty much told by the lead mover, Jesus, that "this happens". No remorse or concern that they damaged my goods and would cause me significant inconvenience in having to deal with the issue. I reported the damage to the office and was told the operations manager would contact me. I had to follow up with the office 11 days later after not hearing anything back from the operations manager and was told they had started the repair on the sideboard. It would have been great to discuss first. The sideboard has aged mirrors and I'm concerned about the ability to match the mirror. Nope, they just went ahead without discussing. I'm supposed to be contacted about the chair (which can't be fixed- they snapped off a lucite leg).. we'll see how long this takes. The building I moved into is incredibly particular so I'll have to pay a 2nd fee (500$$) for delivery of the sideboard in addition to the time I'm having to take to deal with this including taking time off of work to accommodate a delivery of the sideboard. Learning how to apologize sincerely and promptly would have helped my attitude about this a great deal. Following up when your company did something wrong would also have helped. Potential movers- suggest you go with someone else. These people aren't the cheapest and if they can't take care of your goods- why use them? read more

This company was fantastic! They did my whole move within like 3 hours! Much faster than expected! They were also so kind and helpful! Highly recommend!! read more

Our move went quite smoothly and efficiently. Considering how emotional a move can be, the Shamrock crew put my mind at ease that all my worldly possessions would arrive safe and sound. The moving crew led by Victor was warm, friendly and really strong! I was amazed at how quickly they packed everything and carried it down two flights of stairs. The rest of the staff including Bobby Fallon, the general manager and Lisa were knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend Shamrock without hesitation! read more

We just used shamrock for the second time to move our stuff within San Mateo. Their phone and email responses were always really quick and clear about their policies and pricing and Jose, their estimator was punctual and polite. Moving day they were perfectly on time, and hustled through our move while still being careful in spite of moving in a massive heat wave. We paid a little less than we had estimated and were super happy! read more

Shamrock Moving & Storage - Movers Near Me - San Francisco, California

The first decision we had to make was IF we were going to use a mover. Thank goodness we did as this was the best investment we could have made. We did regret not using the additional packing service as what all our friends told us came true. We had way more stuff in our apartment than we thought, packing added stress and long days and in the end we still we're not ready for moving day. Thankfully, Shamrock was able to step in and save us with lending an additional hand in the morning of the move. This was just the start of our day, the crew arrived on time, we're friendly and accommodating with our two dogs constantly at their feet, very respectful of our personal property and the neighbors in our apartment. Part of the reason we also went with Shamrock was their family history in San Francisco. It's been my experience that family owned businesses treat their customers with a higher level of care and stand by their name. This certainly was the case with our move. We even ended up putting some of our extra stuff in storage with Shamrock which was another big bonus. All in all, highly recommend. read more

These guys are top notch. I had them pack and move everything. They came promptly and I felt as if they took care of any fragile items as if they were their own. They also took great care when moving our piano. Victor and his crew did a great job unpacking for us and getting all of our furniture exactly where we wanted it to be placed (including a few reconfigurations at our request since we couldn't make up our mind). read more

Cannot say enough positive things about how smoothly and efficiently our recent move was done with Shamrock. Francisco, William and Brian packed up our entire condo at the end of the week, stored all our belongings safely, and we met them the following week in Southern California at our new house. They unloaded and unpacked everything. Our art, furniture, and all glassware was well taken care of . . . not one piece broken. They were courteous, on-time, and communicated with us the entire time about what it was we wanted and needed, and how best to place our furniture. I highly recommend Shamrock to anyone who plans on moving, either close by or far-away. read more

Spoiler alert: We didn't end up hiring them. Here's why: Quotes took a while...the receptionist schedules a quote option of virtual or in person during COVID19) with their estimators which was a little under a week from when we first called. She gave us the option of FaceTime or Zoom for the virtual. We chose Zoom so we could use a non-apple phone. The estimator called and didn't know how to initiate a zoom meeting and asked me to walk her through how to do it even though I had no idea how she's set up or her company's account. I ended up sending her a link to google meets from my account to get this estimate going. WHY they would offer to do a virtual estimate using technology they have no idea how to even open much less effectively use is beyond me. They are SUPER expensive and apparently SUPER slow as molasses when moving based on their estimate. A few business days later, we get an estimate for 4 men for 6 hours each to move a small 3 bedroom where there were only 8 major pieces of furniture. (We're downsizing so most of the furniture was not going with us and certain items were being moved ourselves. We're also packing ourselves so they're not spending any time packing.) There is no way that our move is 24 man hours - validated by the other quotes that estimated HALF the time on the high end. Their man hours and hourly rate were also the highest of the 6 places we called for quotes. On top of that, there's a prepping fee for them to pad furniture and assemble/disassemble furniture (in addition to their time (not standard) and fuel surcharge (not standard). There are other reputable, quality and more affordable companies. My suggestion...Keep looking. read more

We have used Shamrock twice in the last year and both times were wonderful experiences! Victor and his team were efficient, careful, and respectful, especially for one of the moves that was extremely emotional for our family. We would not hesitate to use them again or refer them to others! read more

From contacting Lisa and having her get everything set up for the move was much appreciated in less than 2 weeks. The movers showed up on time, were professional and worked very hard. The items were wrapped well and it was impressive how they got up and down the steps of the house. Highly recommend! read more

I have used Shamrock for my last two moves, from Oakland to SF in 2019 and within SF in 2022. Both times the movers were extremely helpful and professional. Fast service, no billing surprises, nothing broken, furniture properly dismantled and put back together, and they neatly packed up a lot of glassware, pictures and other breakable items from around the house. They were very friendly and helped me out with packing, after I told them I would have everything in boxes but then didn't manage to finish it. They also gave me some useful tips about how to properly pack for future moves. Highly recommended. read more

We initially used Shamrock to move 1/2 of our furnishings into a temporary home and 1/2 of our furnishings into one of their storage units until we moved into our long term home. We were so impressed with the team (professional, kind, and efficient). They did a great job understanding what was going into storage vs. what was going into our temporary home. After that initial move, our long term home has taken longer than planned so Shamrock has now moved more of our items into storage. Again, they did a great job making sure that move went smoothly. At one point recently I realized that I had put something into storage that I really needed. I called and Shamrock made both of our storage containers and a member from their team available to help me. I was in and out of their facility, goods in hand, in less than 15 minutes. Each time I've interacted with the Shamrock team, whether it's their office or the team on site, they have been so professional and accommodating. I just threw another scenario at them, I wanted some specific items in storage moved into a home on a tight timeline. They let me know that they will be able to accommodate me and it was on fairly short notice. By the time I get through my full move, I will have worked with Shamrock using just about all of their services. I have been very pleased and will definitely use them if I move again. read more

I used Shamrock to pack and move my stuff and I had a great experience. First, they're super responsive. I got a quote very quickly, and had to reschedule a few times. I also got plenty of information to prepare for the move. My movers showed up exactly at 8am on the dot during my 8-9 window. They brought plenty of boxes and packed everything well. There was no chance any of my furniture was getting dirty. They were very careful with all my things. The whole move was done by 2:30pm. This is extremely impressive, my previous move took until about 7pm and I had less stuff then. The guys were super efficient, kept my place clean as they worked, and put everything exactly where I wanted. I can't say enough great things about Shamrock, I'd highly recommend them for any move! read more

This review is a month overdue, but I made sure to do it because everything about Shamrock - from the initial communication through completion of the move - was wonderful. I communicated with Helen early on and I felt comfortable and confident about our decision to go with Shamrock. There are a lot of meh, or even fraudulent moving companies out there, so feeling like I could trust them was important. And the team showed up RIGHT ON TIME. Also, once the team arrived (Victor, Alberto, Jose), they noted that we had more stuff than they were expecting, but they moved so quickly and so carefully - a very professional job. I hope we don't have to move again anytime soon, but when we do, Shamrock will be my go to 100%. read more

Shamrock movers They park in the middle of the street, and when you ask them to move their truck they give you the finger Yeah you know who you are? The crew you had today February 20th at 1291B Storey in San Francisco read more

I chose Shamrock as a recommendation from the property manager that helped me lease our new home. The pa king happened Friday and the move happened yesterday Saturday. I have to say that Victor and his crew, Vicente, Alejandro, Pablo, and Alberto were not only good, the were outstanding. Not only they made a very hectic two days go smooth, they did it with care, respect and in a very professional way. They even did it in less than the expected time and taking all the safety precautions possible. I recommend Shamrock Moving and Storage services very highly and if you get Victor and his crew that would be and added value. Thank you to Mr. Bobby Fallon and Lisa at the office for all their help and support. Thank you. read more

I used them because they were recommended by another company to move our expensive furniture, which they were able to do successfully without damaging it, along with the rest of my stuff. However, when it came time to settle the bill, the guy sat down with me and said he'd worked 8 hours. I looked at my watch, and only 6 hours had passed, including the time that I bought them pizza and they ate it, among other screwing around. When I was like "what the hell!?!" the guy actually tried to argue for why he should charge 8 hours. To add insult to injury, they charged me a $60 fuel surchage for a 1 mile move. They must get worse gas mileage than the space shuttle. They also charged me an extra half hour to drive back to their shop even though they didn't tell me about that ahead of time. I think that if you have a company paying for the move and you don't care about getting ripped off but want the job done, these guys are probably OK, but I would never spend my own money on them. Update: the GM of the company, Bobby Fallon, called me after he got my comment card and swore up and down that they don't rip people off and word of mouth is important to their business. He asked what he could do to make it right. I told him to send me $200 to make the amount I ended up paying a fair amount. The check came the very next day, along with a 10% off coupon for using them again. If you want the coupon, send me a message and I'll give it to you. +1 star for standing behind your product, Mr. Fallon. read more

Yelp has asked me to re-write this to be first-hand experience. I guess Shamrock's advertising dollars have kicked in. Alright, here goes. I have hired Shamrock, Delancey Street, and Corrib for local moves here in the city between myself and my business. So far, Corrib was the best and Shamrock the worst. The movers were generally competent and timely, but they were much more disruptive than is necessary. If you're going to spend money on a move, I recommend picking one with redeeming social benefit (e.g. Delancey Street) or going with quality (e.g. Corrib). read more

While the actual movers were fine, I was a little surprised to see how many hidden fees there were. I bought the Living Social deal and thought I was getting a great discount... boy was I wrong. The movers did not arrive until 11:12 am, and moved everything into the truck by 12 pm. I moved only 4 blocks away (bedroom furniture only) so they were able to unload and move everything in by 1:07 pm. For some reason the head guy, Geronimo, insisted I paid an extra fee because they arrived at 11 am and were unable to get a hold of me. At this point I was so tired and just wanted these two men out of my home, since I was moving by myself, so I paid and made a mental note to call their office later. I called the office and explained my situation. They said the GPS on the truck showed they arrived at 11:10 am... ok whatever... and they did not leave until 1:14 pm. So for 7 minutes while they were smoking, talking, picking their asses, not sure, I still had to pay for that time. They refunded half my money because apparently I did not move far away enough. There is a 30 min transportation limit... which I had to pay for. This is on top of $40 gas fee. Oh and since they charged me extra, I didn't have enough cash so had to use a credit card. And of course they have a convenience charge to use your card... Basically this move, 4 blocks with ONLY my bedroom furniture, cost me over $200. Since the guys did a good job moving all my stuff without breaking anything I still tipped them $20 each... kind of regretting it now. I guess they were fine but I was hoping to make my move as cheap as possible, which is why I bought a Living Social deal, but it ended up costing me a lot more than I expected. Be warned... read more

Love these guys! Timely: Our three Quick and Careful workers arrived at 5 minutes to 7am- window was between 7am and 10am. They actually got US out of bed. They loaded up our 2000 sq. ft house and were on the road before 10am. ABOVE and BEYOND the call of duty: Not only did they disassemble our hunk of a king sized bed in LA, and lower it over the balcony down 3 stories (would not fit down the stairs) to load onto the truck, they also reassembled it after driving 7 hours and unloading here in SF. AND they disassembled a bed that was already in our loft bedroom here in SF, moved it to the downstairs bedroom, and reassembled it. I'm sure we'll eventually move again, and when we do, we'll call Shamrock! read more

I have moved several times, the last cross country without a hitch. So I figured a within-the-complex move would be a walk in the park. Everyone here recommended Shamrock. The price quoted seemed reasonable. They were pleasant, showed up on time. However, it took much longer than the estimated time, and a piece of furniture was damaged. When contacted, the company made good on the damage and refunded the payment for the excess hours. I am now a happy customer. read more

Shamrock moved us from our house into an apartment and from that apartment (and a storage locker) to our new home in April, 2014. For unimportant reasons, we had to use a different mover to move stuff from our old house into the storage locker. The move itself went very well. The movers were on time, friendly, capable, and the bid was accurate. Shamrock really shined in their follow-up when the move was complete and we discovered a few damaged items. I reported the damage to both Shamrock and to the other mover writing identical letters and sending identical pictures of the damage. The responses I got were very different. The response from "brand x": the owner of the company personally came to my house and looked at the damaged items. Two of the items were scratched furniture. He said the damage could have happened any time and might not have been caused by his movers. He said they could be buffed out and that, even though he denied having any responsibility, he would come back "as a courtesy" to take care of them both. The third item was a broken rocking chair. Mr. owner flatly denied any responsibility because two moving companies had handled the item. Throughout his entire visit I felt like he thought I was trying to get away with something. No one from Brand x ever called back to schedule a return visit to buff out the scratches. Shamrock's response: It took them longer to call but when they did, they simply said "we'll take care of it". On the scheduled visit, a craftsman arrived with tools in hand. He never mentioned the fact that there were two moving companies involved. Instead, he buffed out the two scratched pieces on the spot. He then took the broken rocking chair with him and said he'd fix it in his shop and return it when it was repaired. One week later, the rocking chair was returned to me, fixed nicely, and is in use in my home. No questions asked. I'll recommend to my friends thank you very much. Anyone can move your stuff but Shamrock's customer service made all the difference to us. read more

Shamrock Movers are the BEST!!! Victor and his crew did a flawless move for us. And Bobby Fallon, the owner, made accommodations to get our items out of storage to help us save another month's rent. Lisa was very knowledgeable on the phone, and always provided information in a very professional manner. I would only use Shamrock for any future moves. Everyone that I had contact with for this move exhibited professionalism and a very caring attitude. read more

Terrible at estimating cost and time. Well, I have to say that the movers do a good job of not breaking things. Also, I used the storage facility for nearly 4 years, and all my stuff is here. However, Shamrock is terrible about estimating cost and time. I was quoted to get out of storage that it would be no more than 4 hours and closer to 2. It was my impression that the "forklift fee" was what I was charged for time loading stuff in from their place. I was also quoted an arrival time between 11 and 2. The movers arrived at 2:30 and were out of my place by 4:30. Shamrock called me at 1:45 to tell me the movers were on the way. I was expecting no more than 3 hours to be charged, instead, I was charged 4.5 hours, 1.5 hours of loading stuff at their place. So, an extra half hour beyond the quote, and 2.5 hours beyond the least of the quote. So, if you want your stuff moved well, but slowly, with fees that are not completely spelled out, go with Shamrock. The staff is also very polite. But I would rather have another $160. Or a better quote, I would have been less upset if the time had been gauged properly, and they showed up on time. I could have done something in the 3.5 hours it took them to get here. Also, some of my books got wet. read more

I recently moved and decided that I am a) am no longer in college b) like my friends too much to ask them for help and c) have stuff that I would like to arrive at my new place in one piece. A friend who moved recently recommended Shamrock. I took her advice and gave them a call. The whole experience was turn key. Two quick conversations with Sinead and things were set up. The movers arrived on time and were friendly and conscientious - they even took away an old mattress for me. I would use Shamrock again in a heartbeat, but am thankful I won't have to move again soon! read more
