    All my stuff lined up in the living room
    Ashley H.

    I had Brandon K., Chad, and Louie help me move out of my apartment and they were super awesome! Really nice, down to earth, and hustled! I helped them out just because I didn't feel like just sitting there AND because it would get done faster. I had everything in my living room ready for them to move and it was just my bedroom and kitchen stuff and they had everything in the truck within 15 minutes. We made it to my new place and got it all out within about the same time. These guys were the best and when I move again I will hire skinny wimps! Tip: get all your stuff packed before they get there and put it in a room with easy access for them to be in and out. AND don't forget to tip! These guys work their butts off and deserve it! Tip cash so they get it all and get it ASAP!

    I paid so much for this company today, bought them lunch and they didn't follow directions I asked 10 times for this mirror to be packed and at end of day it's still on the wall and moving truck is full?... and they told me it was done?.. I used them years ago but not as good any more

    Unprofessional packing job that had to be redone by other moving company after Skinny Wimps movers ABANDONED the move during the job!

    On Wednesday January 10th, 2018 we hired Skinny Wimps through Groupon to move our home. It was a 2 bedroom 1,000 sq foot apartment with a garage. Everything was packed and all furniture was taken apart by my wife and I in advance. It was a local move within Carlsbad 7.1 miles and 13 minutes between locations. The move was scheduled for 9AM and the 2 young males arrived at 9:30AM with an Enterprise rental truck. We had confirmed with corporate that we needed boxes for hanging clothes (they said they would bring 6) and runners for carpets and rope. When the movers showed up, they said they were not given anything. We literally put everything except big furniture in the living room and garage and made process easy for Skinny Wimps. Took apart all of the furniture ourselves and put in primarily the main room and garage so should have been an easy move. When my wife booked told them how much stuff we had and to send big truck, strong guys, rope, runners, and clothing boxes. None of which happened. When my wife called corporate, they said they are in Arizona and said we should go to the store and pick up runners and rope while the movers continued to load the truck and they would reimburse us. We asked what type of rope and they said any rope, which was not the case. It cost me $102.82, which I had to pay for out of pocket. I left at 11:15am while my wife was at the new home waiting a furniture delivery and returned a few minutes before noon. When I returned, the truck was still in the drive blocking 4 garages. It was left wide open, my stroller sitting outside, dolly loaded with my belongings, front door unlocked. After 20 minutes of looking for the movers, my wife called corporate again. They told her the movers texted them that they had an emergency and abandoned the job and the truck. They left a note saying had emergency had to go other movers on their way. They Abandoned moving van left it wide open all my possessions left out my house wide open dogs inside. When I called corporate, they told me replacement movers were on their way from LA and would arrive in 4 hours at 4pm. When I mentioned the truck was unlocked and blocking neighbors they say they can't do anything to help. When a neighbor complained they needed to go to work, corporate (upon my request) said they would reimburse the Uber rides for the neighbor to get to work. When I walked inside, I saw immediately that the movers had broken a leg on my fancy entertainment center before abandoning our job. When 3pm came around, I called corporate and they said the movers from LA can't make it but they hired a new moving company who will be there for the move at 4pm. I have everything photo and video documented. The other company arrived at 4pm. Everything was packed poorly and both my entertainment center and wife's dresser that is part of a collection were damaged. The packing job was terrible and needed to be completely redone, as all paintings were thrown in the truck and the little stuff was put in before the big stuff, which was all poorly wrapped. The new movers were blown away by the lack of professionalism by the first movers. They told me Skinny Wimps would cover the cost of the move. Due to the mess that needed to be corrected and the poor packing job of the first movers, the move took 2 trips and 12 hours total. We were not done until 3:35am. They Didn't wrap anything properly and just threw everything in kids' doll house pictures. There is not a lock on truck I had to sit outside 4 hours to watch my stuff. I had to cancel my entire next day work as my low back and knees hurt from helping as well as I hurt my finger during the move and was not slept. I paid movers and should not have had to move a finger during this move. My daughter had her diabetes medicine in the truck so she was not able to eat dinner since she needed insulin. Both my kids didn't get their beds until after midnight so they had to stay awake. We missed old mattress pick up by company who came to our new address. The new movers took the old mattress away and Skinny Wimps said they would pay for it. We have still not finished going through everything to see if the first movers who abandoned our job have stolen anything. We have broken furniture an entertainment center and my wife's dresser. With no runners, the new movers had to walk on our newly cleaned carpet in our new home as the runners we bough were the wrong ones. Movers didn't tell us specifics. Said all we want is a healthy resolution that these employees who you said have worked for you before are your responsibility and they destroyed my family's experience of moving into our new home. We request a full refund of what we paid Groupon, the the additional fee we paid Skinny Wimps, the replacement cost of our ruined dresser and entertainment center, and our carpets. They instead are trying to charge an additional $990 for the move. Beyond unethical don't let them ruin your experience

    Update: I've been trying to get a hold of the SD branch manager for a while now, to review my claim and no one responds. If you want to get your issues resolved... good luck! I am so disappointed with the customer service. ----------------------- We've used this company for our first move over 4 years ago and they were awesome! We decided to use them again yesterday and it was awful! 2 out of the 3 movers were very polite. One could care less. I specifically asked them to be extra careful with 2 boxes that contained my China set and the 1 guy could care less, he had it tipped on its side! I had to ask him to not do it. I literally wrote fragile in all caps all over the box. The same guy also had no cares for our furniture. I watched my glass bathroom cabinet fall in the truck as they were unloading, and the same guy said "oh, it's fine." When they took it out, we ended up dumping it. I also noticed the next day that another bookcase had significant dent in it (see picture). I'm so upset that we paid over $700 for them to damage our belongings. I do want to give credit to the head guy, he was polite and professional throughout the whole move, I just wished they were more respectful with our stuff.

    This is just some of the damage!

Booked 24/7 to do the work. They showed up on the scheduled day about 8:30 am and we did a walk thru, showing them what was going and what was not. moving from a 4 bdrm to a 2 bdrm takes some downsizing. They started right in, wrapping, filling boxes and moving them out to the truck. Taking apart the furniture that needed it and moving it out to the truck. They are definitely good at their job. It took them till 10:30 at night to get it all packed and stowed in the truck. They were prompt on delivery day too. Showed up at 9 am . started unloading and putting together furniture and placing it where requested. Took till 4pm before they were finished with their part of unpacking . Great job! I highly recommend this company. They are prompt, polite and very good at their job.

Because of my job, I've had to move between Southern and Northern California (and vice versa) and within SoCal for both long-distance and short local relocations. Every single time, I have relied on them heavily to pack my entire household one day and move me the next. The logistics are always seamless thanks to Jennifer, who handles the scheduling and details perfectly. On the ground, Aurelio and his team are incredible--they are extremely reliable, friendly, and always arrive right on time. What really sets them apart is their expertise with fragile items. I've watched them work, and they are masters at "moving Tetris." They wrap every piece of furniture securely in padded blankets and shrink wrap to prevent any scratches or dings. For my most delicate items--like kitchenware, electronics, and artwork--they use a meticulous multi-layer approach with high-quality packing paper and bubble wrap. They are strategic about loading the truck, ensuring heavy items are at the base and my fragile boxes are safely secured on top or in "buffer zones" so nothing shifts or gets crushed during the long drive between NorCal and SoCal.Plus, they stay organized by labeling every box with the correct room and using 'Fragile' or 'Handle with Care' stickers wherever needed. They are such hardworking, sweet people who never ask for much, though I'd highly recommend having some cold water on hand for them during those hot summer move days. If you want a team that treats your "life's savings" with genuine care, look no further. They've made a stressful process easy for me seven times over! Thanks Jennifer,Aurelio and team!

We didn't quite hit that, but at no point did it feel like anyone was wasting time. The crew hustled the entire job. They listened to how I wanted to prioritize the move. We focused on large furniture first, got all the key items handled, then worked through the rest. Communication was constant. They asked questions, followed direction, and adjusted quickly without any pushback. The team was professional the whole time. No hesitation, even with heavy items or sending things upstairs. Everything was wrapped appropriately, not overdone, just done right. Nothing was damaged, and they were careful with walls and flooring throughout. We had discussed heavier items and drive time ahead of time, and everything was handled fairly. No surprises. I also compared pricing beforehand, and their rate of $199/hour (cash) plus the $60 truck fee was in line with what I was seeing. We ended up at about 3 hours 45 minutes total and paid $825, which felt great for the level of effort and coordination involved. Every move is different, but there were no surprises. Vladimir, Dima, Greg, and Aibek were a great team. They worked hard, communicated well, and stayed professional throughout. Overall, a hardworking, professional crew that provides solid value and takes care of your belongings. I would definitely recommend them.
