Republic Moving & Storage

STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOVER! I had a binding contract with Republic Moving in San Diego that Don et al decided once they had all of my household goods in their warehouse to attempt to extort more money from me; a violation of the contract. Don told me I either pay more or they keep 1000 lbs of my household goods. He also said that if I did not pay that he would do a web smear campaign against me. They chose the 1000 lbs option and went through my goods and either stole or purposefully damaged a number of items. Josh Newman (the driver who delivered my household goods) purposefully stepped on picture boxes ruining a number of photos; some irreplaceable. He also left his footprint on the walls in the hallway outside my new home; the foot prints on the picture boxes matched the foot print on the walls. Steve (the lead packer) was very rude and insulting. He said my apartment looked like an old woman's apartment, asked if it was my mother's and then proceeded to tell me that I needed to downsize. The people involved were Don Carlson, Andria (manager), Steve (lead packer), Jessica Wicker (horrible scheduler but then she was working with Don Carlson which is a bad idea) and Josh Newman (driver normally with Allied). After unloading my goods in my new apartment and refusing to put the items he took apart back together again and me having to remind him that if a mover takes it apart, they put it back together, Josh said to me "you know why this is being done to you?" I tried calling multiple times to talk with the President and Vice President (father and son Lovejoy) and have yet to receive a call back. I have moved 9x since 2001 and this is the worst moving company I have ever had to work with. Yes, things get damaged but this move was blatant theft and purposeful destruction. Please note if you have a history of abusive relationships or have whistleblown and in both instances, they have chosen to stalk you, which is what I have been enduring, do not select this mover as they will fall for the smear campaign and help in retaliating against you. Republic Moving of San Diego and Allied Moving are both under the umbrella company of North American Van Lines. My move was at the end of October 2023. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOVER!

The service was excellent for the pick-up and storage of all our belongings.  The service from the subcontracted that shipped our belongings was not as good.  One of the drivers was very impatient with me.  When I was trying to verify that we had recieved all of our belongings the driver said just sign that you have everything because we want to leave.  This made me feel very uncomfortable because we had over 250 boxes of belongings and I did not want to sign that everything was here when I hadn't had time to check.  They had me you checking off box number from their list to make sure all the boxes were delivered and at least one box was missing and the driver was aware but he did not write it down on the sheet and he did not allow me to write it down.  He literally grabbed the paper work away from me before I could write it down.  I would highly recommend Republic Moving and Storage but not the subcontracted movers (unfortunately I do not know the name if the movers).  I am giving them a B due to the subcontracted movers.

They were good.  It was a big temporary move but they did a good job.  They moved my car too in a self enclosed container.  Everything was great.  I got really lucky because I was early and paid ahead of time.  It was super fantastic.  There were no problems.  They showed up and packed on time.  I know exactly what they will do and that is my responsibility.  They cleaned up after themselves. 

They were excellent to work with.  My belongings went from San Diego to Tampa than to Garland, TX.  Nothing was damaged.  The drivers did a fantastic job in taking care of all my valuables.  I would highly recommend their services to others and I would use them again as needed.

.I would say that I was not impresses. Their packers did a terrible job and broke items. The lost items. They did not meet the agreed upon delivery date. The owner did get involved and did not charge me the late fees.

It was a great experience.  The movers did an excellent job and took all the stress out of moving for us and our 4 children.  The quality and professionalism was amazing.

Great movers. The whole process was very professional. Driver was very courteous. They said it would reach on Saturday and it reached on time. The weight measurement was accurate. Last time(Dimension moving) cheated me on the weight. It was surprising to find the total weight of good less compared to my previous move with Dimension even though I had lot of additional furniture. No more searching I will use them for any future moving in CA.

It was the most incredible disaster I could ever imagine. I have moved 15 times as an adult and this is like far of the worst. Unless you stood there and watched them pack they just threw stuff in the boxes. We turned up missing things. During the packing the crew just took the stuff out of the refrigerator. All they wanted to do is get the job done. There were a lot of damages. They have taken care of half of the damages and then the company just walked away from the rest of the damages. After 2 months of arguing with them they delivered the last piece of repaired furniture. They said they could do only that much of repair work and now we are stuck with the rest of the damages. They are awful. I would never use them again. We have an antique thistle lamp which doesn?t work anymore. They took the silk flower arrangement and stuck it in the bottom of a large box and loaded up things on top of it. They stuck DVDs and VHS tapes on top of it too. When they had unloaded things we asked them for our other night stand. It was in the garage under a whole bunch of boxes. They just wanted the truck unloaded and get out of there. They just stuck things wherever it was convenient.
