"Jay's Small Moves was punctual and arrived right on time at 8am, which I was extremely surprised about especially since it was a Saturday. I was worried about the items that couldn't be put in a box (i.e. large lamps, computer tower, bathroom mats, etc.), but they have large "speed-pak" boxes where they carefully pack the "loose" items in. The team had lots of blankets (for the TV, mirrors, etc.) and shrink wrap (for desks, futon, sofa, etc.). We didn't have our bed disassembled before they arrived, but not to worry because one of the movers did it for us. They have the tools and they are very well experienced because one person disassembled the bed within 10-15 minutes. Needless to say I was impressed. Packing took around a little over a hour and a half and getting to the house took around another half hour. Upon arrival at the house, the team was quick to unload, but also extremely careful about not scratching the walls or leaving any scuff marks on the wood floor. The bed frame was reassembled within 10 minutes (*mind blown*) and they finished unloading within 45 minutes or so. While unloading, they were very attentive to where boxes need to go (boxes labeled kitchen went to the kitchen, etc.). All in all, my wife and I were very surprised at the efficiency and professionalism of the workers. While they are priced $10/hr higher than other movers, I would gladly pay the additional money for the level of service. **As a side note, we provided 3 cold bottles of water for the team - I think this goes a long way!"

"Overall, my experience was very good. The person who helped me with my quote was responsive and personable. We did have some communication issues regarding some of the items we wanted moved. We crews that helped us with the physical move worked very hard and provided solutions when issues came up. The single recommendation I could provide to anyone is be 100% sure everything you want to move is on the digital inventory at least 5 days before moving day. The day of the move, I found things were missing on the digital inventory even though we talked about it."

"Cory and Colton arrived on the time schedule, did a survey on the apartment and quickly started moving the furniture. They were very professional and did the best they could to finish as early as possible."

"These guys are the best movers I have ever dealt with. They are professional, responsive and they really do care about moving you with the least amount of stress. They moved a 3 story Laboratory over 2 days for me. 4 truckloads of very sensitive lab analyzers and not one scratch or dent. From the office personnel to the moving crew these guys are without a doubt the best. If you need to move anything I would highly recommend Hauling Moses !! I will use them for any future moves without hesitation."

"Quantum moving was excellent. The best mover I've ever used, and I've moved 9 times in my life. I highly recommend Quantum Moving; they gave me a great rate and great service and far exceeded my expectations. From my sales person (Dan), to the driver (Don), to the two crews who picked up, they were all polite, careful with my belongings (nothing scratched or damaged,) and respectful. Give them a call -- you'll be dealing with an independent mover, not some impersonal, national chain and you'll feel the difference in the service. I'm sure that they would be great for a local move, however, I used them for a move between Palo Alto and La Jolla. They picked up on time one morning and delivered on time the next morning despite a horrendous overnight rainstorm. (I would have understood completely if they had been delayed.) I've moved a lot over my lifetime, and this is the best moving experience I've had by far. Give them a call!"

Moving questions, answered by experts

Full-service movers provide all the necessary packing supplies and materials—saving you time and money. In addition, long-distance moving companies have special blankets and padding to move heavy, bulky items. Full-service movers will pack and unpack your belongings quickly and safely and dispose of all the packing materials, including recycling cardboard boxes. 

No, it is vital to transport a motorcycle upright because of its battery. These batteries are typically not sealed to avoid overpressurization, so the motorcycle could leak battery acid if it lays on its side. Plus, laying it on its side for a long period of time may cause hydrolock, which is when oil leaks into the combustion chamber, making your spark plug unable to ignite the gas due to lack of air.

Yes, tipping each mover separately ensures that everyone on the team gets their fair share.

Moving pods are most often available in three sizes: 8, 12, and 16 feet. To move a four-bedroom house, you’ll likely need two 16-foot moving pods. Of course, the exact answer depends more on your house’s square footage and the amount of belongings you have than on the number of bedrooms in the house. For example, moving a small four-bedroom house may only require one 16-foot pod and one 8-foot pod, but moving a large four-bedroom house may require more than two 16-foot pods.

Bed frames are big, bulky, heavy items that are difficult to move. Moving an assembled bed frame isn’t a job for one person, and depending on the size, movers may struggle to fit it through door frames. It’s often easier to disassemble to frame, even when you have multiple professional people helping with the move.
