Simply crooks. We hired them to move our household to California. They accidentally ordered a container twice the size we needed. They packed up all our stuff, put it in the container, and then raised the price on us once they had our stuff. Twice. When the container arrived on the mainland, the company they hired to pick it up said they'd never heard of Wurlitzer. Called Wurlitzer and their response was that they would "pray for us." Oh, and his staff hates him and talks crap about him the second he walks off the site. read more

Wow! Thank you Mr. Wurlitzer for a stress free move from New Hampshire to Kahala! Everything went smoothly, no issues, and all were very amicable workers; wonderful! My household goods, and car were all delivered perfectly. read more

Wurlitzer Moving Corporation - Wurlitzer moving my new life to Kahala; excellent job! - Movers Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

This company was AMAZING. Eric and his crew were professional, friendly and Eric took care of absolutely everything. Made the move so easy. Highly recommend. Would give them 100 stars read more

I have used Eric at least 4-5 times over 30 years, starting when he was first moonlighting from his day job at Bekins Moving. He is the kind of professional that you remember and refer others to because he is so trustworthy, reliable and overall professional. Great to work with too. His rates were good and in all those moves, I dont think anything was damaged. read more

Look no further for a moving company, efficient, lower priced, outstanding service!! Our goods arrive in perfect condition including several fragile items. I highly recommend Wurlitzer Moving Company. Years of experience and knowledge to get you the best method of shipping depending on the size of shipment, from small to large. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! THEY DISAPPEARED ON US! They assisted with a container on the mainland side, and once in Hawaii, completely disappeared. Eric hasn't answered his phone in days and no one answers their office number either. Luckily Matson released our container to another company! read more

When my fiance and I moved to the mainland, we decided to book each leg of the move ourselves to save money. We used Wurlitzer for the Hawaii end of the move. We heard about the company via a referral from another Hawaii moving company. Initially, we were a little worried. When we called, Erik seemed to be quite busy and sometimes took a while to return calls. Come move day, we found that our fears were unfounded. Erik showed up on-time with 2 older, but very strong, fast, and professional movers. The movers packed up our stuff well, worked quickly, and did not damage any of our goods. Unlike another Hawaii company I have moved with in the past, the Wurlitzer movers really seemed like pros. Best of all, Erik gave me an all-inclusive honest quote of how much it would take to do the job, and stuck to it. Having heard a lot of moving horror stories, I know that honesty is definitely a plus in the moving industry. If I ever need to do another Hawaii move, I will definitely go with Wurlitzer. read more

I've read all the reviews and thank goodness I didn't take many of the 2-3 stars to heart because I'm giving Wurlitzer FIVE STARS!!!! I needed to leave Waikiki within 10 days of a job move to Alaska. I called Eric and left a message. He called within 20 minutes and I told him of my situation. He came by the next day, assessed what was needed, told me he would coordinate the move, the MATSON container and the far end (Alaska) move as well. 3 days later... his crew of 3 (1st day) and (5) second day came in and packaged, loaded boxes, marked, documented, wrapped furniture, loaded the container, locked it up, had it picked up, and went on their way. When I reached Alaska and the container came in, the boxes and furniture matched the documentation and I felt that the money I spent was worth EVERY PENNY. Not one item was broken or damaged. Wurlitzer performed...that's what you want and need in a company. read more

If you're relocating from Hawaii, you'd being doing a major disservice to yourself if you did not check with Wurlitzer Moving Corporation. I called four companies and had them visit for an estimate. The first guy was spent much of the time estimating by talking about himself. The second and third guys were good, no complaints. The fourth guy, Eric Wurlitzer, was the best: Professional, personable, clearly a well-qualified mover. Here's why we picked Wurlitzer. 1. It is a locally owned and operated company, with vast experience. 2. Eric (the owner) is a professional. Here's one example. He estimated our furnishings to be 15,000 lbs. The actual weight, as done at Matson scales, was 15,050 lbs. Incredible. 3. The Wurlitzer packing crew is beyond belief. They were fast, efficient and friendly. Again, professionals. Upon arrival (4,375 miles later) not one single item was broken. Not one. One piece of furniture did have a friction bruise that was easily addressed by furniture oil. 4. The pricing, from all four companies competitive, were very close to one another. But, Wurlitzer was on the low end. Moving is very stressful. If you'd like to alleviate some of that stress, call Wurlitzer Moving Corporation. read more

My wife and I relocated from Oahu, HI to Washington State. To our delight, Eric and Karen Wurlitzer handled the move from packing, loading, shipping via Matson to unloading here in Washington. They even arranged the shipment and delivery of our two vehicles. When they said they'd do something, they did it with no excuses. And their packing was better than any I've ever had done before. I have relocated countless times during my professional career and retirement. There has never been an easier, more organized and reasonably priced move as this one. If you value a low stress level move, you will want to contact Eric or Karen to get an estimate. We've even tried the rent-a- container programs and they were more expensive plus we had to find our own loaders and unloaded. Call the Wurlitzers. I promise you will not regret it. read more

Eric double book me and left me hanging at the last minute I had to find somebody else the day before my container arrived! Very bad communication. Very unprofessional. He was trying to tell me that it was going to rain and wanted me to wait four more days to fit me into his schedule(The weather report showed sunny skies for the next two days). I wish he would've just told me when I called him the week before to book that he had somebody else on Friday I kept telling him when the container was coming in and he seemed to get confused constantly. I had sent him all the information all he had to do was look at his text messages. Well after all the weather was perfect and I'm really glad that I went with somebody else I got a better price and very professional service from Luckys Movers. Eric would not put anything in writing for me, after repeated request, it left me feeling very uneasy! read more

Professional, friendly, and polite, this hard-working group was amazing in moving my mother's household goods on-island. Even more amazingly, they managed to safely complete the job not long after noon. And at a very reasonable cost! Definitely our choice for any future moves. read more

Erik and team gave me a five star move--alll well packed, moved albeit I was only a 1/2 mile away. Got everything moved and offloaded into my home in good order and not breaks or damage. On day two the team was done offloading truck by 2PM and were very helpful moving things around. Erik then asked if they could depart without unpacking about 10 or so large boxes, I reluctantly agreed with Erik promising they would come back the next day as needed and return to pick up all the boxes. So until this point it was a 4.5 star performance. Two weeks later with unanswered phone calls and eamil from the office saying they would let Erik know--nobody every came back for the boxes and paper requiring me to make several runs to the recycling facility. My suggestion is to not pay until the job is done and inssit of the job getting done before letting them go. So for the latter part and in the end overall 1 star max. read more

I had the pleasure of seeing the crew from Wurlitzer Moving in action. The crew leader had 40 years of moving experience. These guys know what they are doing. They were very respectful of making sure that the treshold wasn't damaged when moving in the big stuff. They were extremely polite and totally professional. read more

Best moving experience we have had by far. We moved our belongings from Hawaii to Maine in a 45ft container and about 17000 lbs of stuff! All of our items were handled with care and arrived safely. Their packing process is immaculate! Eric and his team worked very diligently and Karen in the office did a great job organizing everything. Crew was on time everyday in the morning, very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and kind. I could not have been more satisfied! read more

I used Wurlitzer to move the contents of my parent's condo in Waikiki to my apartment in and my apartment and my mom's retirement community in LA. Eric came by referral from a classmate's uncle who did a mainland move. Unlike any other mover in Oahu, Eric came over to give me an estimate within the short period of time I was in Oahu. He knew I was concerned about things breaking, bedbugs and the LA end of the move. He gave me a flat rate for two separate days. Day one was about a five to six hour day of packing and Day two of loading the container was much shorter. The very nice and efficient mover who packed for me picked up foggers for me. They were for ants & roaches but I don't believe the container picked up any bedbugs. Wurlitzer fee includes the Matson container delivery to the dock in Oahu. I got a 20 by 8 by 8 container. Fee was $1850. I just unpacked everything. Nothing broke. My LA movers complained about the amount of packaging used. While I am a eco friendly person normally, when it comes to packing for an ocean freight move, there is no such thing as too much packing. My Matson Fee was $2411 including a live unload (trucker waits for your container to be unloaded) in Hollywood. The Waikiki end where there is a loading zone in my parent's high rise was easy. Parking a container without getting a ticket in Hollywood wasn't easy and super stressful. In LA, I used Pure Moving Company. I would recommend them if you're moving in LA. read more

I was sitting in a salon and this gal and I started chatting about moving my office & home. She convinced me to hire Wurlitzer Moving Company and said nothing but good things about them. (1) he understand the commercial aspects of moving and I was delighted when he knew exactly the "rules of engagement" when I told him where my office was. (certificate of liability, blah blah blah) He and his crew was so fast! My office of 18 years was packed up in just about an hour and shipped over to the windward side. The best investment of time and money and relief of back pain that my husband is forever grateful for. That would have taken me all weekend & a lot of pain and frustration! (2) now we're moving to a new home and called upon Erik again. He was so awesome that he got me some used moving boxes from a previous client he just assisted in moving (SCORE!), which I will return to him so that he can pay it forward once again. Erik even provided some packing tips (and not just the usual stuff I read about on-line) - you'll have to engage in his services to find out what he told me! Very professional, very courteous, and most importantly, his staff is really nice. They DO NOT look like they just came out of prison, which is a perk in comparison to other commercial companies (I won't name them) so it made me feel even more at ease that the people coming into my new home isn't "casing" the joint! I love supporting locally owned businesses. This guy has been doing this for a while and it's obvious he knows his stuff! read more

I used Wurlitzer for a two-day move. It went well except for one item. When negotiating the price I specifically asked Erik to take some large items to Salvation Army and get a receipt as part of the move. He left the items in the garage and never disposed of them even though he agreed in advance to do so, thus causing me some logistical problems and a major time crunch in making arrangements to deal with the items before we returned the keys to our landlord. He pulled two guys away from my job on the second day to start on another job. Maybe if the guys would have stayed on my job for the full two days as contracted there would have been time to dispose of the items as he promised. He did not leave enough time to complete my job as contracted and I am out a tax deduction (thus increasing the effective price of my move) because of his failure. Had I known he wouldn't make the items a priority at the outset, I would have called Salvation Army well in advance to schedule the pick up before we vacated the premises. The physical moving process was great; I would give his staff the highest rating -nothing broken, very polite, etc. - but he was unprofessional in this one respect and left me hanging. Perhaps a more honest appraisal of the situation at the front end on his part (he walked through the house a week or more in advance so knew exactly the contents and what was required) would prevent such problems in future.

Wurlitzer Moving literally saved the day for us. We called the morning of moving day (that's another story) and Erik made everything happen! Within an hour he had two men on-site. The three of them were professional, friendly, and really knew their business. They wrapped my sofa with blankets and plastic wrap, wrapped the mattresses in heavy brown paper, and finished boxing up my kitchen. Everything that might be nicked was wrapped! These men were truly a blessing! We will forever recommend Wurlitzer in Kailua every chance we get and certainly call them for our next move. read more

Wurlitzer Moving Corp. recently helped my husband and me move from Oahu to California. Not only was Erik friendly and helpful, he was reliable and HONEST. Prior to finding WMC, I researched other moving companies online and was frightened with the stories that people would tell. The Wurlitzers were the answer to my prayers! All of my belongings arrived safe and sound. There are NO hidden fees, and Erik is upfront about the costs. On the day of our move, the team was professional, careful, efficient, and friendly...everything that I needed and more! I would HIGHLY recommend Wurlitzer Moving Corp. for your move. read more

The best movers you can imagine. Eric is a breath of fresh air in the moving business. He is all about doing the job right and keeping the costs down. We saved thousands in our move from Honolulu to the Bay area over the 5 other movers we interviewed. Everything was packed and protected to the max. I am so glad we let them do all the packing. It all arrived to our home in top shape. Thank you Eric! read more

Eric and his crew are always professional and he takes great care of his customers. They are the best in the business of moving your home and these folks take great care of your belongings. It's nice to still have local companies around in Hawaii and even more so those that are trustworthy read more

These guys were real pros! We had a really heavy sofa bed that we wanted in our upstairs. They couldn't fit it up the stairs so they took it on the roof!. Top notch service. I highly recommend them. read more

I moved on 12/28/13 and I am so pleased with the move. I moved from a house to an apartment. Very curteous young men who were trained to make a smooth move. I will definitely use them again when I move back to my house. Erik, you did a great job!! read more

When we moved to Hawaii a few years ago we packed the continuer ourselves as we were so worried that things would get damaged...it was a HUGE effort but everything came through with flying colors... Erick and his team unloaded our container & were amazing with how fast yet gently they handled our goods. It was now time to move back to the mainland and the thought of doing it ourselves once again was not gonna happen...we talked to lots of movers and we could not get comfortable so we called Erik & Karen which we should have done in the first place and he and his team we awesome ...on time, hard working, great sense of humor and good attention to detail...Karen was also wonderful working out the logistics etc. To top it off, Erik connected us with a great move on the mainland side who had the same work effort as Erik & Karen and their team. Moving is always stressful but moving when you must put everything you own in a container and send across the water when so much can go wrong and to have it all go so right is truly special. Mahalo Nui to the Wurlitzer team read more

Wurlitzer handled our move from HI to the mainland in 2011. Although Erik and his wife were very easy to work with, there were problems. First, during the course of packing, Erik told my wife who told me, that he had underestimated how long it would take to pack and load our goods and he was going to lose money on the deal. It amounted to about $200, so I gave him the extra cash that day as a show of good faith. Second, when the container arrived at our new home, and I opened the doors, I was amazed to see that the movers had failed to build a bulkhead around the boxes and furniture in the container. As a result, numerous boxes had fallen on our car, seriously denting it, also crushing a vanity mirror. When I called Karen to report the incident and emailed her photos, her first reaction was, "I hope you bought insurance." Long story short, after numerous phone calls, Erik admitted that he had not watched his crew finish closing up the container and that he was at fault. He agreed to pay for the damages but had to do it on an installment basis because he was short of cash. Finally, some good friends asked who we had used for our move. We told them we had had some issues but were mostly satisfied. We urged them to look at several movers before deciding. They hired Wurlitzer and much to our dismay, they experienced similar problems including damage to fine art and furniture, as a result of improper packing. Reportedly, Wurlitzer has refused to pay for any of the damage because our friends have insurance. Our conclusion is that despite being very nice people, and probably well intentioned, Erik and Karen have limited resources, and aren't are careful as they should be when it comes to quality control and customer satisfaction. Sadly, we can't recommend using this firm for anything other than a simple, local move. read more
