2 stars for customer service and 3 stars for the move…read more I hired Luke and his team about a year ago to unload a Uhaul. They did an OK job but can really improve on professionalism and customer service. Even though I scheduled a few days ahead, Luke didn't ask for my address until the the morning of the move, a few minutes before he was to show up. They showed up more than 20 minutes late with no apologies or explanation. I really rushed to get my new keys on time and get the moving truck to the location just to sit around waiting for them. So I started unloading the truck myself until Luke and his worker arrived. They showed up with moving blankets and other moving materials but they never unloaded them from their truck. On their website it showed they prep the doors, cover furniture with blankets, and lay down runners to protect damage but they didn't and my front door got small dings. My freshly painted walls were left with blue ink from the boxes being dropped against the walls. Most of my dishes were left broken. I've moved MANY times and never had an issue with dishes breaking since I wrap each item. They took 3 hours to unload a truck for a 1 bd apt with no major furniture besides a bed, a loveseat, a few small tables and boxes. it really seemed they were purposely moving slow to stretch the time out. They stopped and talked alot to each other laughing and joking like they were hanging out not charging quite expensive per hour. They leisurely moved a few boxes from the truck to the foot of the stairs a few feet away. No hustle or breaking a sweat here. I understand you have a 3 hr minimum but the unloading should have only taken 1.5 hrs then the rest of the time could have been spent helping me set up furniture and organizing the boxes to the right rooms but instead the boxes were left randomly everywhere and it was hard to then move all the boxes to the right rooms by myself after they left. Overall, they got the job done and got my stuff up the flight of stairs which is why I needed the help. At the end I personally wouldn't hire them again as it seemed my small job was not that important to the company. Never got a receipt, a thank you for your business, or anything. I recently moved again and had a very different experience with another company.

Awesome moving company!…read more First and foremost, SUPER QUICK reply. Called me seconds after I sent the Yelp message - I was pretty amazed. Background: my boyfriend and I rented a truck and were going to do everything ourselves. His friend came by the night before to help with the really heavy stuff. Our giant couch wouldn't fit in the stairway (no clue how they got it in honestly). We realized we needed some professional help so I started scrambling to find someone. Luke called me immediately and quoted me a super reasonable price (better than any of the other companies that eventually replied). The next day, Luke was very communicative in regards to their arrival time (they had a job beforehand). Luke came with another worker and they were both very pleasant. They wrapped the couch quickly and well. They ended up using straps to lower it from the second floor hallway (my building is open). We ended up just hiring them to load up the entire truck and I'm so glad we did. They did it quickly and at a very reasonable rate. Idk what we were thinking - it would have taken my boyfriend and I forever to get everything done. The couch debacle ended up being a blessing in disguise since it connected me with this company and made our moving experience that much more efficient! Thank you American Rescue Moving!!!

What I've discovered after researching and reaching out to many local San Diego moving companies is…read morethat they all charge a minimum of 3 hours, the number of movers are dependent on what items you have and how many rooms you have, and then they may charge a driving fee and an hourly rate that is dependent on the number of movers. San Diego Divine Movers don't operate that way! Input your information on their website, and someone (Alex in my case) will reach out to you for a quote. The quote I was given was not a listed package on their website. It was $550 for two hours, and $250 per hour after that for four movers. There were no hidden fees or minimum-hour requirements, which I greatly appreciated. The moving team, Nick, Ty, Robert, and Saky, were professional, efficient, and communicative throughout the process. They worked quickly while taking care to protect both my belongings and my home from damage. Unfortunately, Nick had to leave after about 3-4 hours, so the move got a little slower with three people. Overall, I am satisfied with this move and would use SD Divine Movers again!

I have had a terrible experience with Esteemed Movers, but I can tell from other negative reviews…read morethat posting about it will only get me attacked by the owners. My attempts to speak with them about it have not been successful. So I offer only this: according to the US DOT website, they are currently operating without insurance and are not authorized for the out-of-state move they took my deposit for. You can verify this by going to the USDOT website and entering the USDOT number listed on the bottom of Esteemed Movers website. (I've attached the screenshots from 3/29/22.) My guess is that while they are great movers, someone in the office is overwhelmed and not taking care of the business side of things. (And yes, Sharon, you are correct. You don't have a Dee M. on your books because I use a nickname here on Yelp and I booked in my legal name.)

WARING DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! My Family moved from San Diego California to Madison Wisconsin in…read moreOctober. Kevin the owner decided to take a route through Colorado on his way to Us. When he arrived at our storage unit He told my wife that "this was the worst move I've ever made". Upon unpacking our items we found multiple broken things, not a big deal. After contacting Esteemed (or lack there of) movers to start a moving claim they began to ignore us. Like I said we moved in October, it is currently the end of June and I am still waiting to hear from them after multiple attempts to contact them to be reimbursed. Other issues: They showed up to start packing at 9am and didn't finish until 2am. Boxes where mislabled/not labeled at all. They had to pack items in the morning because they where thrown in a pile in our garage. Our toilet plunger was packed in my weber grill with our egg container.

UPDATE: after my review was placed, the driver tried to call me first thing in the morning. I had…read moreno desire whatsoever to talk to him. Finally after calling the business multiple times I got to speak to the owner. Who's response was "I know the guys did a horrible job" he said he would reimburse me for the stained mattress, I didn't realize until days later that they damaged my washer, and also to call a carpet cleaning company to remove the stains from the carpet and he'd also reimburse me for that. Well I mailed everything and I never got reimbursed. Companies like this one are just too much of a hassle to deal with. I just don't have the time and energy to deal with greedy people.

MOVERS BEWARE!!!…read more Please do not use this company. Please, please, please. I am an Air Force military member and have moved many times in the past few years from California to Arizona, Arizona to Germany, Germany to Arizona, Arizona to Tennessee and plenty of times around the city and around the world. Out of all the times that I have moved, even when I had my items shipped from overseas I have never had any broken/ dented items. It took the movers 2.25 hours to load items that took .75 hrs to unload. I was not only penalized by my property management company for exceeding my 5pm time limit but also charged for their extra hour of services. This company showed up with three men when I had initially requested two. I don't have a lot of things since I lived in a 600 sq ft apartment and I had previously packed all of my items in boxes with the exception of my wardrobe items because I read in a post below that the boxes were to be provided for an easy move. When the men got there only one man was working which was Artemas the driver/owner which he took a lengthy time wrapping up all my furniture in plastic and moving blankets; the second mover was moving boxes out slowly out the complex and the 3rd mover was doing god knows what inside the truck. After 2 hrs of seeing no progress with the move I got so frustrated I had to call for extra help from my brother. When 4pm hit I had to tell the men to stop and to head out to the new complex to avoid extra penalties. At this point they were only half way done with my 600 sq ft living space items. As I was leaving my complex I noticed my fire extinguisher was damaged/ broken in the ground and was brushed behind a door to hide the evidence. I took a picture of this to document. We arrived at the complex and as we arrived the property manager offer to help unload to help speed things up and get out on time. The movers were helpless I still ended up moving and doing heavy lifting myself and inconveniencing others which is why people hire movers to avoid these issues. When the property manager saw the items that were inside the truck he commented that he couldn't believe it took them 3hrs to move the little bit of items that were loaded in the truck. We unloaded all the items in 45 minutes which incurred just the same distance back and forth from truck to property along with elevator included. Horror doesn't end there. As we unwrapped the items to hand back the blankets i noticed a huge dent on the side of my wooden bar. I pointed that out to them and asked if i was going to be reimbursed for the damages. Artemas, responded defensively and said that neither him or his men did it without even asking his men. When I asked him to stop speaking for his men and let them speak he asked his men in a demeaning manner if they had made the damages. None of them admitted to the damage and then said that I did the damage when I was unloading the bar from the truck and that he was not liable for it. I told him I would file a complaint at a later date and would contact the company, but I guess I am Shit Out of Luck since he is the owner of course there is no need to fear being liable for things. They also at end of the move made us return the wardrobe boxes so i ended flipping all my clothes upside down to on the floors of my bedrooms to get them out as soon as possible. This issue will be directed to the Better Business Bureau for any disciplinary actions on this business. But for now please beware of this company. I would suggest to go with a different company to avoid any physically, emotionally, and financially heartache.

The movers took their time to wrap up our furniture and was careful. We were billed a total of ~5 hours. I was initially charged for supplies (shrink wrap and tape). However, the owner Antonio reached out to discuss and resolve the issues. I really appreciate how he was willing and responsive to ensure that his customers are taken care of.

We had to push out our original move date by 2 weeks due to a change in schedule and Marathon accommodated us without any hassle.

When we were initially comparing moving companies a lot of them told us certain furniture couldn't be moved safely, but Terry has a great grasp for safety and was able to move those items. All our items arrived packaged carefully and safely. We were really satisfied and happy all of our belongings were very carefully packed and arrived safely. Big moves can be stressful, but Terry was very helpful in answering our questions on how to pack, helped us loading and preparing and unpacking our belongings. Preparation was key ahead of time, the communication was great to get us prepared for the actual move and unpacking days. Would highly recommend!

Over the past 20 years, I have been privileged to work with Motivated Military Movers for three…read morefamily member moves. I say privilege, because at the end of each move I am left with a profound sense of appreciation for the exceptional work ethic and personal character of the crew, the courteous communication, and careful respect for for our belongings and domain, AND also the running clock. Following their punctual arrival, Terry and Eric immediately began to run with endurance the race set before them. They never slacked or wasted time, and persevered with discipline through the summer heat, with efficiency. They never cut corners or compromised in the protection of the furniture to be moved, while navigating delicately through a maze of roommates belongings. Our most recent move was flawless, and included transport of a vehicle from Orange County to San Diego. Other smaller moving companies did not also offer the auto transport. We saved using this service through Motivated Military Movers. We also saved with multiple discounts, including one surprise discount, for my father's navy service on a sub during the Korean War. Terry and Eric worked diligently to save us time on the clock, so the added discount for my Dad, was yet another sign of extraordinary character. It was truly a pleasure to work with Terry again. Rarely do you meet people with such exceptional integrity and work ethic. They instilled great respect and trust in us as we watched them work so hard on our behalf. No doubt, we will use their services in the future. So thankful I found them twenty yers ago! I am adding this comment after reading an older review criticizing communication with MMM. I experienced quite the opposite! I understood that they were out on jobs, so most responses came after business hours, but were thorough and helpful. I asked many questions, which Terry answered graciously and patiently.

AMAZING. AWESOME…read more First, I called them at 5pm on a Sunday night because we need helping moving a bed into our home. And, I found them on craigslist as we are new to the San Diego area. This was not any bed, this was a VERY heavy four poster canopy solid wrought iron bed. It was awkward and very heavy and required special handling to maneuver into the home, up the stairs and through doorways. Not only did they show up a few hours later after I called (on a Sunday night) BUT they successfully moved the bed and stayed to help assemble. All three gentlemen was amazing, good natured, and so helpful. We will definitely use them for ALL of our future moving needs. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Megan
