A Better Way To Move

On June 7, I scheduled to be moved with this moving company. First off, upon accessing the home, they alleged an evaluation could not be done because the power was shutoff due to a grid power outage. After I investigated the electricity outage with Edison and the length of the outage in the community, the crew proceeded to get into their truck to abandon the job. As I attempted to provide the electricity update from Edison, the moving crew just pulled off. Unfortunately, I could not control the power outage in the community. This behavior was extremely unprofessional to say the least and brings a new meaning to the word !! I have never experienced this level service ever. By the way, this was a morning appointment and the move was taking place in broad daylight. MY RATING OF THIS MOVING COMPANY’S SERVICE IS NEGATIVE 10 (–10). DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. A WORD OF CAUTION/​BEWARE. Unfortunately, there is not negative rating scale in place to properly rate this company.

This is the second time we have used this company and I would not hesitate to use them again.
1. We had to change the move date multiple times and they always graciously accommodated us
2. We also had to drastically increase the amount of packing and materials we needed and they also rose to the occasion
3. Their team was on time, efficient, detail-​oriented, and very careful with the house and with our things.
4. They are upfront about their costs. Their rates are reasonable especially given how good they are.
5. In my haste, I forgot to put away some paperwork and it was packed. I realized this after the crew had left. When I called the company, the movers remembered exactly where it had been packed and later checked up with me — on his own time — to make sure I found the papers.
This company is how moving should be done.

Amazing! Outstanding! Saved my boyfriends life (ok not literally)! Long story short, my boyfriend moved into a house and had to suddenly move again 5 days later (don’t ask). After getting some people we knew for the first move, when the second time popped up unexpectedly there was just no time or energy to do it all over again. It being a weekend (and start of a month) we were worried we wouldn’t find anyone or it would cost an arm and a leg. I called on a Thursday and got a confirmation call back that two movers would be available during my time request Friday. They were quick to respond, organized and priced competitively. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend them to any and everyone (and use them again but hopefully no time soon! Haha) thank you for being the best moving service in town!!! Cheers!!!

The guys went above and beyond to make our move painless — my couch was not fitting in, so they took off doors, took off the couch feet, etc — did whatever it took to get my beloved couch into th new place. It added a few hours but it was worth it! They were also very nice and professional the whole time. I’d recommend them again.

A Better Way to Move is absolutely THE BEST moving and storage company around. I would recommend them to anyone. They are professional, friendly, and affordable. They helped me with every step of my move. Hands down the best!!!

These guys were AMAZING! I had to move two days before leaving for an international trip, couldn’t get into the new place for a couple weeks, and I wasn’t taking all my stuff, so half needed to be stored for 9 months. I had looked at a couple storage facilities and was not impressed with what they were charging monthly for that time frame, but didn’t have time to look at any other options. Needless to say, I was overcome with SHEER PANIC.
My boss mentioned this company and suggested I give them a call. She’s moved a lot living in LA and said they were her favorite. I completely agree. To start, Tim, the owner, was so lovely over the phone. Move pricing was cheaper than other movers with less stellar reviews, they have a shorter hour minimum (which is great because I don’t have a lot of stuff but what I do have is big), and their storage was cheaper as well. Luis and Miguel arrived, were so kind, and worked quickly while we chatted about hockey and football.
Beyond thrilled to have found this company and they’ll be my go-​to company from here on out. Thanks so much, guys!

Great company. They were able to move me with less than two weeks notice on a weekend. I had one room to move and wasn’t moving far, but needed help with a few large furniture items and lots of boxes.
They were very upfront about all fees and charges. They even shared pricing on plastic mattress covers and boxes, should I need them. Plus, they offer use of wardrobe boxes free of charge.
The movers were very efficient, friendly and professional. They were very careful with all my stuff and did a great job of disassembling and reassembling my bed frame.
I highly recommend this company and will use them again the next time I move. It’s good to know there are affordable and reliable options for movers.

Hello! I will be moving at the end of this month i live in Huntington Park and will be moving to Pico Rivera about 25 mins away. I live in a one bedroom apartment, i need help moving my bed and other appliances (fridge, tv stand, boxes, and other various objects like night stands and coffee tables) i will be leaving my couch and stove behind. How much will this cost? I would preferably like to move everything on the 30^th of April. Thank You!

The best movers by far. Brian and his team of two moved quickly and were able to move our antique, really old antique, furniture carefully. This is our second move with this company in that past 5 years. They also have great customer service and helped me decide on some of my furniture placement. All in all they made our move almost painless. They guys are really nice and pleasant to be around. Thanks again for help!

Best moving service I have ever experienced! Tim was great, helpful, diligent and friendly over the phone booking the service. Brian and Paul arrived on time, prepared and ready to work. They were able to hoist my furniture out of the 2^nd story window with ease. Great work ethic from both of them. I would highly recommend their services!

This move was so easy and enjoyable with A Better Way To Move that it was practically fun. We had to postpone once, and they were very flexible. Plus at the last minute we had to have them pack some books. They removed earthquake anchors on bookshelves and handled both heavy and fragile items on a 2^nd-​story walk-​up to 2^nd-​story walk-​up move – with good humor. Even my daughter – who was wary about hiring movers – was extremely pleased with everything – especially because the movers were flexible about re-​positioning items in her new apartment. Movers were friendly, timely, courteous and well-​groomed. Everything arrived in perfect condition. The pricing was absolutely as estimated and very competitive. I would always use these movers!

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.

These Guys were great. I called last minute. Like a few days before last minute (oops!) and they were able to accommodate me on a Friday morning which was perfect. They called me a few minutes before the arrived early. The earlier the better and I was ready to go. They brought wardrobe boxes and offered a mattress bag. I had bought my own bag so I didn’t use theirs. I used a lot of their wardrobe boxes to put my smaller boxes in so things would move quickly and more efficiently. They arrived at my new place before I did and I just stopped for a coffee.
Overall the service was great. Quick efficient and man those guys hustled! I was moved 26 ish miles away from studio loft to 1 br in about 3 hours from arrival to paying and departure. Clean trucks. Good communication. One of my shot glasses broke but it was cheap and I packed it poorly. SO no complaints. Price was very reasonable and when I move I will use them again.

Moving is something I dread but A Better Way to Move did an excellent job moving my stuff out of storage and into my two bedroom. The (owner?) paid close attention during my initial call and helped accurately figure out the correct amount of guys to get the job done correctly (something a few other movers I’ve used haven’t done very well).
The guys who came out on the day of the move were professional, hard-​working, careful, fast and skillful at figuring out how to get a couch up a very narrow stairwell. (Another company that shall remain unnamed tried to figure out how to move my girlfriends couch up the same stairwell and couldn’t figure it out at all. The Better Move guys solved it in minutes). My least stressful move in years. Thank you.

Wonderful service! Would highly recommend to anyone. My friend referred me to them and I am really pleased with the moving experience, customer service, and care they took into my items. They were also very very fast! I also put some stuff in their very reasonably priced storage unit, and they were also very helpful and careful when I had to get some stuff out.

Just scheduled them for my 3^rd move. Moving is never fun but they always make it an easy and pleasant experience. They take care of everything and are efficient with their time. No hidden fees either!

I chose this company based on the Unilocal reviews. The guy who answered the phone was very nice and explained the prices and services to me. Although they were booked for the weekend I wanted, I chose the next available week day. Because of the reputation they have for being fast, I felt confident enough that they’ll move me that morning and I’ll be at work in time to work a ½ day. More to come after moving day:
UPDATE:
So 2 years later, I’m finally finishing my review (shame on me). They did a good job moving me. I remember that I was happy with their services. I was so happy with their services that I’m giving them 4 stars for the move 2 years ago… I’m also going to see about using them again when I move next weekend. :)

Absolutely best moving experience. They showed up early, were so fast and efficient. They even helped me put together my new entertainment center. I can’t say enough about this great company!!! I would definitely recommend them to anyone moving!
thank you so much!

This is the 7^th time we have used A Better Way. The first time was pre-​Yelp! These guys are consistently great. This last move was a big move. They arrive with a great positive attitude and are pleasant the entire time. They know what they’re doing. They wrap everything carefully and handle items with great care. At one point they were faced with a challenge because there was gravel at our new house and they had to roll our piano on it. They came up with a solution on the spot and made a roadway to roll on and everything turned out well. They were happy to move items around and helped us arrange things. Very Helpful. Can’t say enough good things about these guys!

I love these guys! This is the 4^th time we have used this moving company! I have always been extremely pleased and more than satisfied.
They arrive happy and ready to go. They move swiftly and carefully. It was a very pleasurable experience to remember.
Thank you
