The 2 person team called proactively to say they will be delayed due to the previous client taking longer. I felt like I could have said, no, you have to come on time, but since I wasn't in a rush, I said okay. They showed up at the revised time and were able to assess my loading situation. We went over the plans, and they went to work and were careful not to damage any walls and floors. I had booked 2 hours and we finished everything right on time. I really appreciated them offering opinions/options when there were multiple non-obvious ways to load something so informed decisions were made along the way. They were really dedicated as after finishing my loading, they went back out to the previous customer to try to finish it up by the end of the day.

The two men arrived 30 minutes earlier, they were very professional, polite, courteous, & they were very careful in the handling of my items to be moved. They asked where did I want them to place my items as they unloaded them from the truck. I found this to be very unusual “ one of the movers said ma’am, I just need you to show me where to put the item as we unload them” they were great to work with!!! They organized everything & they finished sooner!!! I would most definitely recommend them to all I know & I will use them again when I need them!!!

They did a great job. However, they billed us for 4 men and four hours. 2 men for 2 hours were supposed to be included for free. I later realized that this bill should have been sent to PackRat, not to me. They made a mistake by passing the bill to me. If it shows up on our credit card, we will have the charge removed by the credit card company and complain to PackRat. They were deceptive in their dealings with us, by passing the bill directly to us instead of the correct party.

My experience with 5 Star Moving was exceptional. Sean and Danny arrived on time and knew that I had to be "out by 1000." They hustled and managed three flights of stairs for the heavy items that did not fit in the tiny elevator. It is back-breaking work and they did it without complaint. All of my items were handled with care, and with no damage. I was able to make it to destination on time. For Bay Area moves, I would definitely use 5 Star Moving.

Jason and Vaughn at Blue Chip were amazing! They showed up on time and were very kind. I was worried that the POD wasn’t going to be big enough for all of our stuff and they reassured me that it was and that they could fit it all in. And guess what?? They did! I would hire them again in a heart beat. 5 stars!!
