Corrib Moving & Storage

Contacted Corrib about an easy move in the East Bay. Just a few furniture items and a handful of boxes moving a mile up the road. Kevin responded very quickly to my questions and ultimately ended up suggesting that I hire a company local to the East Bay for my move, because it would be more cost-​effective (Corrib isn’t located in the East Bay and would have to charge a small travel fee to get to how far out I am in the East Bay.) I so appreciated his honesty, and that he also still offered to do the job if I wanted him to.
I would be happy to hire them in the future if I had a bigger job that would justify the small travel fee, or if I wasn’t as far out in East Bay. Thanks Kevin!

Fantastic moving company! I have hired these movers twice now and both times the movers came within 15 minutes of the scheduled appointment. One of my biggest pet peeves is lateness so it’s great to have people show up right on time. All the guys are also very friendly and they got the job done quick! Would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking to move.

Wow. They are awesome. They moved us from SF to Oakland and I have zero complaints. I have never seen movers move so fast. Our final price was cheaper than quoted and I highly recommend them!

Very happy with the move we hired Corrib to complete. Brian is a superstar! He disassembled and put back together our bed from IKEA hell while still being so nice and such a pleasure!
Docking a star because there was an extra guy, but the move still took longer than expected so we paid more than expected — but it is what it is. They also missed a box during the drop off, but when I called about it a few days later they delivered right away. Would use them again!

Corrib Moving was the best moving experience we’ve ever had! Super professional, helpful, and FAST.
The guys got us out of our old place, across town, and safely into our new place in much less time than expected. Not a scratch on any of our furniture. The guys were courteous and hard working. They even offered to move our couch/​living room furniture around a few times until we had it where we wanted. They have done this a few times, and you can tell!
Very easy to book on the phone, great honest customer service — we originally went with them because we had a great phone experience, and were glad we did.
HIGHLY recommended, we will definitely be using them for any moving needs in the future!

Very friendly! Worked hard and got the job done in a timely manner. The actual bill at the end of the move was a little higher than the quote/​estimate, but they will not exceed the quote plus 10% so that was honored. As far as I can tell nothing was broken during the move. There were a few random things left at the old house that we found when we went back (like shower items), but not a big deal in the end. Overall a great experience.

Superb. Prompt, organized, great communicators. We had to clear out our garage to prep for a remodel of our house. We had no time to pack. They took all our stuff quickly and neatly. After 6 months, it came back in the same state. Our moving crew, Tom, Jesse, Omar, were as nice as they were capable. Whole job done in 45 minutes.
I will say that Corrib isn’t exactly cheap, but when it comes to my stuff, «cheap» wasn’t the driving factor. I got what I paid for from a really nice bunch of people, every one of them.

Corrib was fantastic. Their two man team moved our 1 bedroom worth of furnishings from a storage unit near Fruitvale over to near Ashby BART in just over 2 hours. In contrast, it took my wife and I about 90 minutes to unload our truck and put it in storage. It also took near 4 hours for two movers in DC to fill our rental truck up for the same amount of stuff (and while they had an elevator and some wrapping to deal with, they didn’t cross town or unload the truck).
Point being Corrib’s crew rocked. They were also very professional and friendly, and I was able to get a Saturday reservation just a few days ahead of time. Can’t recommend them enough.

I just wanted to again say that a moving experience should not have been this bad. As he mentioned, I did book a last minute move because I was not completely sure that the movers I had previously reserved would be able to move an expensive exercise equipment. When they did break the Precor, Seamus instantly accused me of being suspicious. He asked why did I want to make sure they didn’t break the Precor. Well, do you think it might be because I knew it would be a difficult thing to move? In fact the Precor was plugged in and working when they moved it. When they plugged it in, the light didn’t come on. It doesn’t take a genius to know that it was broken on the move.
Note we had a fabulous recent move with Sierra Schleppers!!! And yes, they moved the Precor without any incident. It just goes to show you there are hard-​working decent guys out there. Shame on you Corrib! Just that you would accuse someone who files a claim with you that they conspired to fake a break, is just ludicrous and poor customer service management.

Corrib was great from start to finish– and then way, way beyond. First off, even just booking the job you could tell a big difference in customer service. I spoke to Trevor originally and appreciated that he answered all my detailed questions. He was genuinely helpful. On moving day, the crew was diligent and efficient all at once. The 2-​man crew took great care with all of my stuff (and I’ll admit I’m a Nervous Nellie when it comes to fragile stuff!). They clearly knew what they were doing every bit of the way and even made some suggestions about where to place things in the new apartment to better use my space (they were totally right).
I was already planning to give them 5 stars, but totally procrastinated writing this and now I’m sort of glad about that because Corrib went way beyond the call of duty. I had a bit of a furniture mishap a month after my move and my dresser full on toppled over one day. It was perched rather precariously on some leftover boxes and I couldn’t figure out how to right it/​fix the legs myself so I called Corrib and frantically asked Kevin if they happened to have a crew nearby who could come help me out anytime soon. It was wishful thinking, and they didn’t… but then Kevin HIMSELF drove to my apartment and helped me. He literally showed up and saved the day, I still smile with gratitude over a week later. I seriously can’t recommend these guys enough, great service, top notch skills and just the most fantastic customer service.

Corrib’s movers are the best! I’ve used Corrib five times since I first moved from Sacramento to the bay area, and every time I’ve been extremely happy with their professionalism and efficiency. They’re the only moving company I could find this past August find that was willing to come to my home prior to my move and do a walkthrough to provide a comprehensive quote, which included a ‘not-​to-​exceed’ price. I hope I never have to move again, but if I do, I’ll be calling Corrib.

WONDERFUL service! From the initial estimate with Seamus, to the team of 3 (Seamus, Brian and Jesse) moving us from one place to the next, we could not have been happier with their work! They were professional, prompt, efficient, friendly and took care of our belongings from start to finish. SO glad we chose Corrib for our move, and won’t even bother looking elsewhere again!

We just moved this week with Corrib. They are fantastic!
We requested three movers as our stuff is heavy and we have some very valuable pieces. They showed up exactly on time, immediately started moving, and ensured that everything was moved carefully. This is the first move we’ve done where nothing was damaged!
And… we moved to a fifth floor apartment. They had to move much of our heavy furniture up five flights of stairs as the elevators were too small.
They were efficient, friendly, and respectful. You couldn’t ask for a better crew.
Oh yeah, and they painted their trucks Giants orange. Go Giants!

Two guys came to bring a new refrigerator that we had purchased up two flights of stairs to my mother’s house. The store that we bought it from refused to carry it up the stairs and they had 4 guys. Another moving company we hired came with 3 guys and couldn’t do it. Corrib Moving and Storage sent only 2 guys. Sam and Brian were challenged because not only was it a narrow staircase, there was an electric stair chair along one wall and a 180 degree turn near the top of the stairs! Not an easy feat. The guys worked hard and thought it through. At one point at the stair’s turn, they didn’t think they could make it work, but they pressed on and completed the job with nothing damaged. How grateful we all were! Because if they couldn’t do it, no one could! Triple cheers for Corrib!!! Sam and Brian, you guys ROCK!

Used Corrib in March 2013 for a move of a 2 bed apartment inside SF. Couldn’t fault them then.
Used Corrib in September 2015 for a pack and store for a loft in SF and still couldn’t find any fault. In fact — I was given an estimate of storage costs when the crew left and then the crew leader called me back 2 hours later to let me know the estimate was a touch high and that I would be paying more than 10% less.
Thanks to David, Brian and John for making the move way less stressful.

Used Corrib again for my latest move. Five stars again. These guys are fast, careful, and really pleasant to work with. Total pros.

Mike and his crew delivered the best move EVER today.
This move was doomed to be the most stressful I’d yet experienced. It seemed everything that could go wrong did– all except hiring Corrib.
They confirmed 3 times with me, quoting a one hour arrival window, and then arrived right on time. Paperwork was quick and easy, the team was incredibly friendly and upbeat, and everything was expertly packed. AND, the rates were more than reasonable.
I will never hire anyone else.

Best movers I’ve ever had. Fast. On time. Courteous and very friendly!
They took most of the stress out of moving!!!
A friend recommended and I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

This was my first real move, so I don’t really have much to compare it to, but these guys were great.
My initial phone call with Seamus (sp?) was wonderful. He walked me through how they go about their business and why they it the way they do. They recently raised their prices just a tad to make sure they are paying their workers well and keep attracting good workers.
All-​in-​all, I moved from the Mission to Nob Hill in 1 hour and 45 minutes, and everything was handled very carefully. Thanks guys!

I really couldn’t have asked for a better moving experience, from the initial contact on the phone with Kevin, to the fast, efficient, cheerful and careful movers (Chris and Owen) who packed, moved and unpacked us across town in just under 5 hours. They didn’t scratch a single thing, never complained about the 3 story walk up, and checked in with me whenever they weren’t sure of something. This can’t be an easy job, yet somehow they appeared to enjoy themselves. I will hire these guys anytime. Honestly, I am not easy to please!

Can’t recommend Corrib more highly!
We used Corrib to move everything in our 2-​bedroom apartment, including a large (and heavy) upright piano. Their team came to our place on Friday and packed the entire place (including every dish and book) in under 3 hours; on Saturday they loaded the truck, drove to our new place, and unloaded everything in 6 hours. Their movers were efficient, friendly, and careful. And they completed the job faster than they estimated, which meant we actually paid less than the original amount they quoted me. Thanks Corrib!

The Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale is something I take a look at every so often if I feel a bit uneasy and need some sort of scale system to justify my angst. You know, the angst you have when you have a bit of insomnia, lose a little weight (not necessarily a bad side effect), become a bit more impatient, and a beer sounds like a good idea every moment of the waking hour but you can’t because that’d mean you have a severe drinking problem.
Although «moving» isn’t listed, but «changing residence» is listed in that Hand R stress scale. What should also by listed is living through a construction (by that, I mean living through the noise, the debris, and eating take out with a new born and toddler) but I digress.
Corrib made this stress scale number of «changing residence» go down quite a bit.
I’ve used Corrib a few times before, but mostly for smaller scale moves, and they were awesome and responsive before.
Well, this time, we had to move and store items on a much larger scale… on a Monday.
From the time I called Corrib (Kevin), got a quote, and the actual move (Sam and crew), all I’ve noticed was professionalism and great service. What I’ve also noticed, which I’ve seen happen with other moving crews, is that they NEVER complain or give any grief about certain items to be moved or issues with the domicile that would pose a problem.
I was also concerned about budget, and Corrib was in the middle of the pack for their services. I wish I had more money to tip larger amounts to the crew, because they were awesome– but I have mouths to feed.
I’ll use these guys without hesitation on our next move… which will happen again soon (referring to R+H stress scale again).

This is my third time moving with Corrib, and every time has been a smooth, stress free experience.
This time, Bob, Mike and Jessie took charge of my 950 square foot apartment (with enough crap for double that) and got me promptly and safely to my new place in Dogpatch. They arrived promptly, immediately got to work. Everything was safely loaded, secured and delivered. While the elevator in the new place represented more delays than expected, they stayed honest to Kevin’s original not-​to-​exceed estimate.
I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone moving across town or to another California city.

Okay, so here’s the deal with this review. I only experienced talking to Trevor via email and on the phone. He must be the sales rep and the coordinator. I didn’t actually use their services.
So what happened? I was asking Trevor for information and he must have been uncomfortable with questions such as «Could you tell me about your company?» to which he answered, «Kevin is the owner. You ask weird questions.»
I guess he thought it was «weird» that I was asking about the small business. Some people like to know a bit of background about a company that will be going into your home and moving your personal stuff.
Once he realized I was displeased by his attack he followed up with, «I’m not trying to insult you, it’s just you ask me weird things.» He also kept telling me to look at Unilocal if I wanted to know about their reputation. Yes, I get it, that’s why I’m calling you in the first place. Why are you directing me to strangers? I didn’t even ask about your reputation.
There’s enough competition out here that I don’t need to deal with this. I found a great moving company that was more than friendly and surpassed all of our moving needs.

Excellent communication and service all thru the process. The guys were just professional and a pleasure to deal with. They will definitely be the first on my list to call and recommend for any moving and storage services. I have attached some pics of them in action. Check em out. They were amazing!
PS — Give my Uso Sam a raise! The man is an extreme professional and a great leader among men.
Tip: Provide coffee, water, and some snacks for your crew. Also, if they do a great job… tip!
