John and Bob were wizards, man. I had a 2bed/2ba to move, and only a 12’ van. The amount of stuff they fit in there would make Kobayashi blush. I’d recommend these mages to anyone!

Jay and Sayko were amazing, so polite and fast. They worked miracles, because I didn’t think my items would fit in the pods and they did it!! I would totally want them to help me move again. Thank you
— Tracie H.

Everything perfect. Carlos is fantastic (also his partner, but I forgot his name, sorry). Absolutely recommended

Movers | 5 STAR MOVING
In 100 degree heat, these movers managed to get our large piles of stuff out of our 2 bedroom apartment, up a hill, and safely and efficiently packed into our POD containers. They worked well in tough conditions, and we're so grateful for their help!
— Therice M.
Movers | MovingZoom
On time and easy to work with. They efficiently took great care of our items in a small move across town for a great price. The only reason it's not 5 stars is because they were quite reluctant to wear masks (that we ended up having to provide). While I understand that it was a warm day, we are still in the middle of a pandemic, and I would have appreciated more acceptance of mask wearing inside a house with immunocompromised members.

Great work!

John and Austin from MovingZoom did a fabulous job. I give them my top recommendation. They are experts at loading PODS, and helped us utilize our POD to the fullest. They showed up on time, worked diligently, and always had a positive attitude. Would hire MovingZoom again.

Alfa Moving was on-time, worked quickly, and even moved my clothes still on the hangar using a wardrobe box. They were able to move my obnoxiously large couch over a stairway rail since it was too long to make the turn from the walkway into the door. Did a great job for an affordable rate. Would definitely hire them again!
— Daphne C.

Austin and his team did a great job of optimizing the space with had in the Pod with our furniture and boxes. Every inch of space was used and they were very efficient with the time we had reserved. Will definitely use them again to unload the Pod in a few months.
— Jeff P.
Movers | MovingZoom
The Moving Zoom guys were amazing! They were flexible in timing, worked quickly but carefully, were friendly, and did a great job unloading my POD into my new place! Thanks, Ezekiel! He also had a second man assisting who did a fantastic job. I’m bad at remembering names but much thanks to him as well! I would absolutely use them and Moving Zoom again.
— Nicole M.
Movers | MovingZoom
They were great. Super friendly and fast. However, the ad did not indicate that they would have furniture pads and a truck - which is an AWESOME feature. If this was advertised, they might even get more business. I would use them again
— Danny H.
Movers | TC Family Movers
Carlos and Max were totally awesome! They were amazingly efficient and careful with my furniture. Carlos had a good eye and knew just how to pack everything so no extra spaces were evident. Max helped me to laugh and relax a bit during the process. I would certainly use them again! Thanks for an awesome job!
