Response from A Better Way To Move

"[Member Name Removed], I am glad that your move went well, but I don't think we were the company that moved you. While we always appreciate positive reviews, I don't think it is fair for us to take credit for someone else'[Member Information Removed] hard work. Best wishes, Tim"

Moved furnishings and contents and art work out, stored during construction and moved back in. The crew was very professional, courteous, and helpful. All furniture was carefully wrapped and they were very careful on the move back in with newly refinished floors. Tim the owner came out in advance for an estimate and to discuss options for packing help. Highly recommend.

They are amazing. I used them 7 years go when I moved into another house. They did two separate moves for us. They did one move and held stuff in a warehouse and they did one move and brought other stuff. They did a lot for us. They are really really good. We got money back for the boxes because they have a recycling program for the boxes. They packed everything and labeled them. I think there was one plastic Tupperware tub that was cracked, but all the important stuff made it. I had to change the date a lot and they were extremely accommodating. They were great.

The movers arrived on time and were very efficient in their work. They were careful, attentive, and flexible in allowing me to work in my office for most of the move day before taking the desk away. They packed everything extremely well, were very self-sufficient in pack and load, and did a wonderful job moving our gear from house to house. They also provided ~15 garment boxes for us to move our clothes from closet to box and back when we moved, saving us a bunch of money on garment boxes and time on pack/unpack for clothes. Crew chief Carlos was very communicative and the 3-person team did the job in just over 8 hours. Will definitely use again if moving; it's hard to find good movers, and A Better move did a great job.

The experience was GREAT. The team of Jaime, Jose and Luis was great. They were prompt, professional, fast and friendly. They arrived at exactly 8:00 am. They wrapped EVERY piece of furniture, including my dinning room chairs and exercise equipment. When they arrived at the new location, again they worked fast unloading everything. They asked and placed each item where i desired. One item they even moved a second time at my request. I would definitely use/recommend this company.

The two guys (Javier & Luis) were absolutely pleasant to work with. They were very friendly and more importantly, I didn't feel like they were trying to stretch the time out for more pay. We had to make a pre-planned stop to pick up an appliance on the way and that was done very quickly. They were willing to place each box in the necessary rooms, even into the garage.

VERY PROFESSIONAL & HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Called for an estimate and Tim arrived on time. Explain the process and options thoroughly. For the actual move, the crew arrived on time and finally left me with a high quality moving experience that I have never encounter in the past re-locations. Once again VERY PROFESSIONAL & HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I liked it. I think I found them on Angie's List. Pricing was one of the reasons I chose them. They were very good; I was quite pleased. The prices were much better; I talked to three groups. They just moved up from one location to another and it was a two day trip. They did not tear up anything and were very easy to work with.

Very easy move, except we have not been able to unpack due to delay in construction at the new house so hard to know if everything made the trip in one piece yet. I will say they were very careful moving a delicate mirror. Nice that they don't charge for tape or wardrobe boxes as long as you unpack them during the move. Competitive rates, good communication and showed up on time.



Helpful tip: I would recommend having them come over prior to the move to access how much stuff you are moving. We did not do that, and if we hadn't moved a substantial amount of our belongings ourselves before, there was no way it would have all fit in the truck.
Response from A Better Way To Move

"Hi [member name removed], Thanks for taking the trouble to post reviews on both Yelp and Angie's List. It's very kind of you; they help us a lot, even though we don't like to pit any pressure on people to do so. If you have any concerns once you are unpacked, please do not hesitate to call me. Best wishes, Tim Gordon"

I had several conversations with the office staff and they were extremely courteous and helpful.  I needed to schedule our move for the day after Thanksgiving and wasn't sure anyone would work that day.  The men arrived on time and got to work.  They worked well as a team and were respectful of our property.  The price was reasonable even without the Angie's List coupon.  I would hire them again.

This is the second time we've used ABWTM since we arrived in Los Angeles, and yet again it was a totally painless procedure. The guys are very well prepared, well presented, and use plenty of initiative in getting the move done. They understand that it can be an awkward time, and work very quickly around curve balls thrown their way. 
Tim, the estimator, was very thorough, and gave a clear and accurate estimate and at no point did any extra charges or hidden extras emerge - which is very nice in this day and age.
We highly recommend them, and would use them again immediately if it weren't for the fact that we have no intention of moving for a long time now!
