    We loved our experience with Bay Area Efficient Movers. - From Oakland to Mountain View, CA last Sunday (about 40 minutes' drive) - 1-bedroom apartment (our stuff almost filled the 17-foot truck) - We did 99% of our packing beforehand (except for a few items in the fridge) - 2-men crew (Olzhas and Nurik) - Moving started at 8:45am, all done before 1:30pm - The crew arrived a little bit earlier than our scheduled time, came upstairs to assess what we had, and came back with all the tools and boxes. The time didn't start until they actually started working. - The movers were very very efficient, respectful and friendly. They only asked for 5 minutes' rest during unloading, didn't even have a lunch break. - The loading dock of our previous apartment wasn't open by the time all the furniture was wrapped up, so the crew parked across the street and moved everything without waiting for the loading dock. - Our new apartment is on the 2nd floor without an elevator. And the crew had to walk through a small courtyard to our side of the building. - We helped to unwrap furniture when the movers were unloading the stuff to our new apartment, to speed things up and also because we hated to stand by doing nothing... Before booking BAE Movers, I talked with different moving companies. Hourly price-wise, they were pretty comparable. But the following reasons made it an easy decision to choose BAE Movers: 1. The fact that efficiency is THE selling point. (That can make a huge difference in the total price!) 2. Adam was very responsive and patient in his answers from the very beginning. He gave me a detailed rundown of what would happen on the moving day, very transparent about potential break times (that'll be excluded from the total time). The booking was very smooth. It turned out to be a great decision! I'd highly recommend it to anybody who wants an efficient move!

    1/17/2020 move from clearing a storage to a house 30 miles away. From the start, communications with Adam - was very prompt and clear in responding to inquiries and setting up of appointment; while Tim, Zhan and Batas - they came on time, did the work dilligently, with no grumpy attitude despite the amount of heavy work and long hours to finish the move. Overall, thumbs up and will use them again in the future.

    Adam is always very quick to respond out of the gate and then the movers themselves have all been so great.

My POD was about .20 miles from my front door so a long distance; I gave them a heads up but it was no issue for them. I think it took 4-5 trips so pretty efficient and fast. The guys were nice, communicative, professional and took a lot of care with my stuff. They set up my platform bed for me and put my big furniture right where I needed it. Would totally hires these guys again!

They were very careful with my furniture, wrapped and protected everything. With that in mind, it took about twice as long as the estimate was to move everything. even though I packed everything myself. with double drive time (required by CA law) it ended up being over 12 hours, so the final charge was almost twice as much as the estimate. and there was only 1 container with dishes that was completely shattered. They probably dropped it or dropped something on it, but didn't say anything. I only found out later at night when I was unpacking it. Otherwise they were awesome. They did not waste any time. They were working very hard all day. so if you get an estimate, double it, as with all the wrapping and protecting your stuff, it takes much longer. They offered me an option not protecting my stuff, but I chose to have it protected.

    My wife already left a review but they deserve as many accolades as possible…read more We hired OBM because they quoted us the lowest price, but they were also the best and I highly doubt other movers would've gone above & beyond the way they did. We had a challenging move from downtown S.F. to Berkeley, to a house that is in the middle of multiple construction projects. Yet they made everything feel easy. I had gotten food poisoning the day before and we were stressing because we hadn't yet finished packing. But it was no problem--they loaded the truck with the items that were ready to go while we packed the rest. Make sure to ask for Joseph and his team (Fernando and Victor). They arrived a little early so they'd be ready and were the utmost professional while also being a warm and friendly team of guys. We would have them over dinner any time. Because of Joseph I'm now convinced that moving is both an art and an athletic feat. We had a recliner (100lbs) and a treadmill (200lbs) that were too wide to go through a doorway--and yet he maneuvered them effortlessly through without a scratch on either.

Dwight and Leo showed up exactly at 9 AM, were thorough, quick, and careful, even when moving my most fragile pieces, from the East Bay to San Francisco.

Arrived promptly and worked HARD! I was so impressed both with the hustle and clear diligence in ensuring everything was well cared for. I had several flights of stairs for them to deal with and it was no issue. The whole time Dwight and Leo were absolutely doing an A+ job; it was incredible. During move in, Dwight noticed a scuff on the ceiling he thought he caused by grazing it with a hockey stick. Coincidentally I knew the scuff was already there before they arrived, but Dwight immediately tried to remedy it anyway. I absolutely did not expect that (that's the kind of thing that happens when you move, ya know?) and was so impressed. Truly honest and careful movers. Pricing was fair if not very good. Dwight was also very communicative and clear when going through the contract. No complaints whatsoever, and I would recommend this team to anyone. Thanks Dwight and Leo!!

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!

They handled all our items with the utmost care. Our move took a little less than 4 hours and we were so happy with their services! They offered a 7% discount if you pay cash which was a plus for us.
