"This was my worst experience with movers in a history of 16 moves in three different countries! In those many moves not a single item was lost or damaged. In this move, almost every piece of furniture was marred, gouged, chipped, or otherwise damaged; feet were missing; and glass was broken. Nearly half the boxes (all carefully labeled) were stacked upside down, even those with unmistakable and abundant "fragile" labels and "up" arrows. Our movers arrived 4 hours late. Too small a crew was assigned for the work involved, and a job approximated at 4.5 hours took 9 hours. They spent the first 5 hours wrapping furniture in plastic and tape—not in furniture blankets—and some was not wrapped at all. The truck was too small (so they crammed everything in) and it didn't have a lift gate to facilitate loading and unloading, prolonging the task. Before our belongings were transferred into our condo, the crew foreman demanded payment. We were never told we would have to pay on the day of the move. Not only did he refuse to give us an invoice, but he refused to unload our belongings until we paid in full. We had no choice. When we expressed our distress, the crew responded with hostility and increased haste—and a conspicuous lack of care unloading our possessions. We had to sign and initial perhaps half a dozen sheets of paperwork, but were refused any copies. The next business day we called the main number on the company's business card to find someone in charge. We were unable to connect with any administrative personnel, gaining the impression that this company is a loose collective of movers without an administrative core and leaving us at a loss about how to address fundamental business complaints. We were also refused copies of our paperwork. The spokesperson argued that providing the client anything in writing was not company policy. Our job was not assessed, scheduled, or executed professionally. A traumatic experience."

FAQs for moving projects in Santa Barbara, CA
Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including:
Is there anything your company won’t move?
Does workers’ compensation cover the crew?
Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture?
Are there packing restrictions?
Can you guarantee my delivery date?
Can you provide references?
What do you charge extra for?
What is your cancellation policy?
Moving insurance helps protect your belongings from damage or loss during the moving process. This policy can help reimburse you either part of or the total amount of your belongings that become damaged during the moving process. Moving insurance has three main options: full value protection, released value protection, and third-party or separate liability coverage. Speak with your moving company to determine what is covered under each policy and their cost to determine the best fit for your needs.
The average cost to hire movers is between $920 and $2,530 for local moves and $2,700 to $10,000 for long-distance moves. The number of movers you need, the total mileage you’re moving, your moving date, and ease of access to your home all factor into the bottom line.
For example, if you only need one or two movers, you can expect to pay $25 to $50 an hour. However, if you need four or more movers, that charge increases to $100 to $200 an hour. Moving specialty items, like a piano or large aquarium, will incur additional charges.
In the world of professional moving, moves are broken up into two categories—a local move and a long-distance move. A local move is anything considered under 100 miles, regardless if you’re crossing over state lines. A long-distance move is anything over 100 miles, even if you stay in the same state or location.
If you’re hiring movers to help with your move, there are a few things that you can do ahead of time to set yourself (and the moving company) up for success.
Donate or sell items ahead of time to lessen the amount to move
Alert your neighbors (or apartment management) of the move so they can plan for the moving truck to arrive
Pack your belongings securely ahead of your moving date
Disconnect any appliances prior to the moving date
Clear a path for the movers to move freely inside your home
Dispose of hazardous materials
Discuss with your moving coordinator where to unload the boxes
