Andy’s Transfer & Storage

Don’t call Mayflower or Allied, call North American and their local affiliate, Andy’s Transfer. 100% professional, nothing missing, nothing broken, FAST AND PRO ALL THE WAY. Great deal, great guys, no BS. Love it.

THE PERFECT MOVE! Andy’s moved us from Los Angeles to Northern California and everything went smoothly. Tas was extremely patient and responsive for the estimate and from the office — I sent him a ton of questions! And Matt, Rick, Craig and Dan were an amazing, thorough, professional, friendly, timely crew. They packed us up quickly and nothing broke! (granted, we still have a few boxes to unpack). They arrived on time every time, and even arrived early for the unload. They unloaded us in the rain without a comment or complaint or letting it affect them in any way. They patiently worked with us as we considered where furniture should go and how it should be arranged. And they were happy to walk through all the details of the bill at the back-​end. Nothing hidden, very transparent. Really as good a move as we could have had and probably better than we’d hoped for. THANK YOU!

Considering I spent over $ 3500 to transport a small bedroom apartment, they did not fully reimburse me for an expensive Vornado fan ($ 100) that they themselves forgot to label in my apartment, and therefore failed to show up on the moving list. Very negligent, and would not recommend. The movers they hire are obviously not experts in their jobs.

The guys at andys transfer and storage are awesome they moved are office building in downtown LA and they were fast polite and careful we just moved from the 55^th floor to the 49^th floor and I couldn’t believe how fast these guys worked and there crew leader Robert young did a awesome job of directing his crew to make sure everything was handled with care I would recommend this crew to handle all my moving needs thx again to the guys at andys transfer and storage

We had these guys come in for an estimate. We chose not to use them for one simple reason. They make an estimate based on what they think the weight of your belongings will be and charge you based on that weight. Do you know how much your possessions weigh? Of course not. So they could say anything, just as any moving company could say anything. The only safeguard I found that Andy’s built in is that they will refund you $ 43.19 for every 100 lbs. that they estimated above the actual weight. Shipping costs about $ 1/​lb, more or less. With those basic numbers, you can see that there is an incentive for them to over-​estimate the weight using this policy; you might get some money back, but they would also make money on that over-​estimate.
I am not claiming they do this maliciously; after all, I have no idea how much all my stuff weighs. Maybe the guy was just way off, or maybe the other companies I brought in were way under. What I do know is that I had three estimates from three different moving companies:
5,200 lbs
8,000 lbs
10,300 lbs
The third was from Andy’s.
I would suggest going with a company that gives you a binding estimate that you are comfortable paying. Don’t get involved with anyone who isn’t willing to just say, hey, this is what it is going to cost and that is that.

By far the best moving company I have ever used and I have moved over 15 times. long distance or local these guys are professional respectful and they are very good with high end furniture which I have a lot of.

Very professional, very friendly and fast. helped us in packing as well as the move. Moved from Glendale to San Diego and nothing damaged. Highly recommended!

I was referred to Andy’s Transfer & Storage via North American Lines.
These guys were amazing. Lance, Danny, and (I believe) Kevin were quick to pack our remaining things. They also came in under the initial estimate, moved our things faster than we were planning, coordinated their schedule with ours (including an extra stop), and were courteous and friendly all the way.
I will contact them before anyone else, they were really fantastic!

I’m rating Andy’s Transfer as a broker, rather than as a moving company, as I used them for my Interstate move, which was actually fulfilled (rather poorly) by North American. Andy’s transfer was very courteous, prompt, and helpful at all stages of the move, and performed their part of the job without a flaw. Their reps were knowledgeable and efficient, both on the phone and in-​person.

I have used Andy’s Transfer to move my personal belongings 3 times and I had them move my business 2 times. Their quotes were always accurate, personal have always been professional, work was always done on time and fast. As a professional real estate agent for Dilbeck in the Foothill area I recommend them to a my clients.

We needed a company in California to move our son back to Canada, We knew no one and was totally afraid to trust anyone. I contacted a few companies and fell on a guy name Tas Szemeredi. He was amazingly polite and very helpful. Worried he was too good to be true. Well, he wasn’t! He helped us in everyway. From packing up, getting the best deal, helping make this move as smooth as possible considering I was in Montréal and had to depend on this company to do everything. All arrived in perfect shape (many cameras and computers), furniture, clothes all packed perfectly. When they arrived, they put the furniture anywhere we wanted and put everything together except the boxes (we chose to do this ourselves). If anyone is looking for a company to move them with no hassles or worries this is the company. Tas was amazing and so was the guys that delivered all our furniture in Montréal. I run a company as well and the professionalism they showed was above and beyond. Thanks to them, I am a very satisfied customer. I will not hesitate to contact them again

We just finished a move from La Crescenta CA to Spokane WA, using Andys. Everyone here is super helpful and friendly. Robert was our driver and I can not say enough about how impressed we were with the service we got from start to finish, these guys really hustle and are impressive in the way they get the job done. We had a driveway which the van could not enter and Robert had to get a U-​Haul and unload at the street and shuttle our stuff up to the house and unload again and haul it inside. The guys in La Crescenta and Spokane worked non-​stop and in 90 degree heat with high humidity They are the rock stars of the moving companys. This is the third time we have used Andys, and I highly recomend their services.

If I ever have to move, I will definitely call Andy’s Transfer and Storage to do the job. My mom contacted Andy’s to move her back in June and she asked me to be the coordinator.
The movers — Lance, Jaime, Oscar and Joe — were hardworking, gave 110% all day, were polite, helpful, friendly, and went above and beyond what I expected. They did not cut corners, and even helped out at the end of a LONG day when a last minute issue arose. I would absolutely recommend this company, and particularly this moving team — they were AMAZING!
Thank you for all the hard work and the positive attitudes. You guys were just what we needed!

Andy’s moved me from L.A. to the SF Bay Area. Andy’s goes the extra mile, no pun intended. First, because of unexpected delays in business I needed to tie up before moving, I had to reschedule my move 2 days before it was supposed to happen. No problem. They rescheduled for the next week. The guys who did the actual move, Lance, Matt and Oscar, were so friendly, polite and decent. Nicest guys ever. They worked hard and did a meticulous job, careful that everything would arrive in good condition, and it did. I had most of my stuff stored at a friend’s house in one city, and the remainder to be delivered an hour and a half farther. They were flexible and able to accommodate. The move couldn’t have gone better, which is why Andy’s gets the maximum rating from me.

Andy’s Transfer and Storage staff are great! The Lead Move Coordinator, Tim, is excellent. His experience was evident in organizing and managing the crew and placing our belongings into the truck for safe storage and transit. In fact, the entire crew was efficient and careful when they moved us out of our home and into our new home. I was concerned about storing our belongings for approximately 2 – 3 weeks, but upon delivery everything was intact. Janet, who scheduled the move, was always service oriented and positive even after I had to change the move dates a couple of times! I highly recommend Andy’s Transfer.

The crew at Andy’s Transfer & Storage moved us just yesterday. The guys worked to the bone from the morning to evening. The best of all, they were still in good spirits and great sports despite the crazy heavy furniture they moved all day. Not to mention we have a home based business so they had to move heavy boxes up a flight of stairs for 2 hours straight!
This is the 3^rd time I’ve used them for a move and I wouldn’t hesitate for one second to use them again. PS, we had a ton of stuff (2 truckloads).

After alot of searching and alot of concerns caused by reading «moving horror stories» we selected Andy’s Transfer & Storage to move my mother in law from Downey to Arizona. The move was done as promised and at the quoted cost. The movers assigned to the job were friendly, straight forward and honest. There were no surprises and no problems. One of the horror stories we feared was the end of move added on charges. This did not happen. I will add, however, that we told the estimator everything we could think of involved with the move.
I highly recommend that Los Angeles people consider Andy’s Transfer & Storage if planning a move. My impression of the company is that they are honest people simply trying to make an honest living. As a customer I could not ask for more.

We have used Andy’s for 2 residential moves and year-​round personal storage, and they are fantastic. We continue to refer them to friends and family, because they are very fairly priced and do a thorough job. I give Andy’s 5 stars because:
1. They are always on time.
2. They seem to have packing/​moving down to a science. We had 4 guys on the day of our move. The head guy delegated tasks quickly, one guy disassembled all our furniture and kept all the nuts and bolts organized in bags with the furniture while the others wrapped, and before I even knew what was going on, they were loading up the truck.
3. They work fast and efficiently.
4. They are polite.
5. Their storage facility is very accommodating.

Andy’s has the feel of a small family-​owned business because that’s exactly what it is. I was taken care of and informed at every step of my move, from working out the pricing to the insurance to basic timing. They were pro-​active in contacting me for when my windows of pick-​up and delivery would be and great at updating me with any changes.
What folks need to understand and why these previous reviews are probably rated the way they are is that cross-​country moves with a van line like North American has inherent lag time and subsequent frustration. The reason it’s so inexpensive (relative to personalized single-​family movers) is that they have to coordinate amongst multiple parties moving across multiple states and cities. It’s like naming your own price on priceline– you’re given a window for a less expensive moving experience. The trade-​off is you have to be flexible.
Now I did pack my own move in order to save on expense and ensure everything was packed the way I wanted it (I’m very particular) so I had no experience with packers and if you’re like me, then maybe that’s the way to go. However, their contracted van line North American, and the driver/​mover assigned to my move was fantastic. Mike was his name and his crew was prompt, polite, and easy to work with. Especially in navigating the narrow paths of both apartment complexes I moved from and into. They were very careful with my things and took the time to ensure everything I had was marked, that I took note of it, and if any of my boxes weren’t packed «sturdy» enough to survive the move, helped me re-​pack at no charge. They were never rude or disgruntled and constantly reassured me that «they were there to make sure everything was stress-​free for me.»
My previous experience in moving from California to Pennsylvania was the complete opposite experience. This was with another similar local-​national moving company. The movers were untimely, rude, and took over a month to deliver our things. When they did arrive, there were multiple items broken, including my significant other’s unique iron bed-​frame. Their response? «Uh, it was like that when we put it on the truck,» which was complete nonsense and a blatant lie. Luckily we were able to bend it back into shape after significant effort and exertion.
This was not the case with Andy’s! Personal service, assurances on anything if it was broken when it arrived, and follow up to make sure the experience was a positive one. Oh, and nothing was broken, bent, damaged, or crushed. My boxes looked as if they had just been placed on the truck. You get a ridiculously good price for a move that stand-​alone would cost at least a few thousand dollars, if not a good deal more. I recommend Andy’s completely. Any frustration I felt regarding delivery dates was simply the logistical exchange for a decently priced move.
I was shocked to read about the other three reviews (two of which were posted last year). I don’t know if they’ve changed anything in their policies or employees since then, but my experience couldn’t be any more different. From my understanding, they’ve been a family owned business for years and the three other reviews on here don’t do them justice. I’d hate for a local business to get such a bad rap that is, in my opinion and experience, undeserved.

Might be ok for local moves, but for inter-​state they’ll sub-​contract your move out to unknown parties. Just moved from LA to NY
But their own operation isn’t that great either. The packing crew was incompetent — complaining about the estimator, packing toilet brushes in with food, yelling at each other, and pretending to pack boxes that they did not actually pack (but charged me for anyway, of course)
The loading crew was ok, but the trucker and arrival went terribly.
9 hours late. Lost boxes.
When I called Andy’s to complain, they basically said: «Sorry, not our problem» — call NA Van Lines. They took no ownership of the situation. Just because Andy’s might have good reviews doesn’t mean anything if they will have someone else actually execute the move.
Of course the driver fled right after he dropped off the last box — and we didn’t realize that we hadn’t gotten two of them because the guy filled out the inventory sheet himself. Some of them we checked off — but incorrectly as the driver and his assistant were either dyslexic or lacking in the English language enough to call out the right numbers. And anyway, when the driver says «9am, Sunday» for drop off and arrives at 6pm Sunday — and finally finishes unloading at 9pm — at a second location no less — how likely is it that a customer is going to notice that two boxes are missing?
So we’re out $ 600 worth of stuff, and Andy’s says «not their problem»…
So much for customer service
