    Tom's Marathon Movers, in action!
    Cameron H.

    I was recommended Tom's from a friend of mine Erik R., and he swore up and down that they were the best. I gave them a call for a quote, and it was not only affordable, but they offered a discount if they were to finish earlier than 5 and a half hours. Not only did they show up earlier than the start time, but immediately from the get-go they started packing everything into the truck! My wife and I were super impressed by how they tackled every piece of furniture, the several heavy boxes, and miscellaneous heavy items with ease! And our new place had narrow stairs and tight turns, but they made it feel like I was watching a well-rehearsed dance. I was blown away with the skill and speed they pack and moved everything. I was stressed the week of the move, but by buddy was right: they are the best in the business, and finished before the initial quoted time! I will swear by them and continue spreading the gospel. Absolutely the best movers in California, if not the world.

    These guys crushed it. My wife and I barely got to packing for a move across LA. Toms team showed up, got the packing done quickly, respectfully, and competently, and got us into our no house with 0 drama. The move included navigating a 77" TV with a very annoying wall mount (LG G4). They handled it easily, and their TV Install vendor reinstalled it on the new wall and made it look awesome. Ultimately, we were set up in our new home with no issues - easiest move of my life. If you need help moving, these dudes are awesome. 10/10 recommend!!!!

    Perfect setup!

    DREAM TEAM!!!!! Danny & Ernesto were friendly, super fast & so crazy skilled! They worked so hard to get us all settled in and completed this move in record time. If you are looking for movers, look no further!

I reached out last week for a quote via Yelp. I get a response almost immediately and was setting up a day and time to move. I paid the refundable $50 deposit and never received any type of confirmation but I luckily took a photo of the confirmation number before I closed out of the screen. I sent it to them just so there can be some type of paper trail. They confirmed, again almost immediately. A day or two later I no longer needed the service and reached out requesting a refund of my deposit since I am very much in the window of getting it back. October 26th was the first email. Nothing. October 27th, second email asking for a response and receipt of refund. Nothing. I called the number and it went to voicemail. I submitted another "request for a quote" using Yelp and guess what? I got a response. How ridiculous that I have to go through the process just to get a reply? I request for a receipt of refund and he said it was emailed. There was nothing emailed. I checked my entire inbox and there was nothing sent. I emailed using the same thread this morning and I got a response immediately again claiming than an there was an email that is automatically sent of the refund and to check my spam/junk folder. Obviously I had already checked and there is no email. There is absolutely no reason why this process should be like pulling teeth. I know I could easily check my bank account but you work in the customer service industry, moving is already incredibly stressful so for your team to add more stress is not a good look. I wonder where all of your 5 star reviews came from - my only guess is that there's been a change in management to offer some type of excuse but 100% will never recommend just for this ridiculous exchange and email attempts.

They will do it better than you, faster than you and save you the headache of doing it yourself. Their materials are less expensive and it barely affects the price. I get so excited when I hear of someone moving because I get to recommend this company.

    These guys deserve every one of these five stars! Yana was helpful in the preparation process, and…read moresent us all the details via email. They did ask to receive a video of everything heavy that will be put in the truck. I definitely recommend that you include every single item in the video, because even with the biggest truck that they had, we still had overflow. For reference, we are a family of four, with two little kids in a three bedroom / two bathroom house. The price point was pretty reasonable and they were flexible, given the fact that they are located in Los Angeles, and we wanted them to come up to the Bay Area to help us move down to the Los Angeles area. They called us the day before to confirm all the details. When we realized that the truck was over the weight limit, Yana quickly called us to give us a couple of options. We opted for another truck to meet the first truck, to distribute the weight. It was an extra cost, but reasonable, considering the issue at hand. These guys were efficient and quick. We apparently have a ton of stuff lol. They originally mentioned that it would take 3 to 4 hours to move everything into the truck, but in reality, it took approximately 5-6 hours. They were punctual and even got there five minutes before the agreed-upon time. I wasn't there when they brought in everything, but my husband said that they did an amazing job at putting the boxes where they were supposed to be, based on our labeled boxes. They reassembled everything, no problem. I called 5 to 6 moving companies, and we are happy that we decided to go with this company, given the communication, efficiency, and price point. If you need movers, this is the company to go with.

They took their sweet time since I was being charged by the hour and I ended up having to pay $1,853.75 because they turned what should have been no more than a 6-hour job into 10 hours. To make matters worse, I still spent the next morning packing up the refrigerator and remaining items they left in the pantry which they were supposed to do as apart of the move. Details: I was originally quoted $150 per hour, but before the movers started I was told the price would actually be $179 per hour because I booked the service the same day. While I was notified before the job began, the quote I originally received was already for same-day service, and the person I booked with knew I needed the move done immediately which made raising the price in that moment felt unreasonable. Still, I moved forward thinking that it wouldn't be more than 5 hours given the fact I already packed the majority of the house myself. I was sadly mistaken. As I mentioned, the Packman movers were paid hourly, and the team of 3 turned what should have been at most a 5-hour job into a 10-hour job. For perspective, the last time I moved I used a different company that also sent three movers to my same layout -- a two-bedroom, two-bathroom townhome with the same amount of stairs inside and outside the entryway. However, that previous company fully packed my entire home, moved everything to the new house, and reassembled my beds and desk all within 10 hours total. This time, however, I had already packed the majority of the house myself -- all clothing, bathroom items, and most kitchen items. The movers only needed to pack the refrigerator and one remaining pantry with five shelves, wrap furniture, and load the truck. I have multiple pictures as proof of this. Yet somehow it took this team of three men SIX hours just to disassemble two beds and wrap a couch, four small dressers, the dining table, 6 small chairs, two desks, and two office chairs. Nearly everything else was already packed in moving bags and boxes and just needed to be loaded into the truck. By the time they finally brought everything to the new house -- which is only 10 minutes away -- it was after 11 PM and they started at 1:40. They did not reassemble the beds or desks, did not unwrap the furniture, and left boxes and bags scattered throughout the home. They also left doors unlocked at the old home and left the patio door wide open when they left, which is incredibly careless. To make matters worse, the lead mover, Sam, signed the contract on my behalf WITHOUT my consent when the job was finished. I did not notice until after I paid and requested a copy of the receipt. My aunt was present at the time and can confirm this. I called the company the next day after seeing the condition my old place was left in and left a voicemail explaining my concerns, yet no one returned my call. Unfortunately I paid via Zelle so I cannot dispute the charge, but I will be filing a formal complaint regarding this experience. I strongly encourage anyone considering this company to carefully document their move and review their contract before signing. Based on the service I received, I would never recommend this company to anyone else. Truly a nightmare. The price does not match the service, and the overall experience was extremely disappointing. Please save your money and choose a company that values professionalism, efficiency, and customer care.
