Uni-line Moving

Awesome team moved us from San Jose to Los Altos. The rate was the cheapest I could find ($ 129/​hour for 4 guys) and they were super fast and very nice. Highly, highly recommend!

We used Uni-​line 2 years ago, and again this past weekend. They’re great! It’s super easy to book with them. They’re straightforward and the pricing is simple. They don’t add a bunch of extra costs like other companies and no minimum moving time. We were impressed at how fast /​efficient they were this past move. We pack everything ourselves and ready to go by the time they come. The movers help wrap plastic around some of the furniture and tv. This time we had to stop at 2 locations and there was no issues with doing that. It just added to the time. I’m planning to use them again when we move next.
Thank you for helping us move and making it less stressful! :)

These guys rock.
It was super easy to make a reservation over the phone and go over what would be needed for my move. I had a team of 3 guys who helped me move a bedroom and living room (bed, couch, dresser, side table, tv stand, 50″ TV, and 7 large boxes). Initially, I had confirmed 2 movers but they ended up bringing a third and didn’t charge me for the extra help. Got lucky there. They bring wrappings and tape to secure all of your furniture. My move from Oakland to the Peninsula took less than 2 hours. These guys are FAST, professional, and accommodating.
They even helped my new roomie unload their truck and move some larger items inside. Even with the 20% tip we gave them, it was significantly less than anything else I could find around the area. Very affordable and reasonable.
Highly recommend!

We used Uniline recently to pack and move from a 3 bed 2 bath condo to a house. The packers and movers were all very efficient and professional. Nothing got broken in the move, yet i could tell this packers were not going crazy with the packing materials, as they pointed out why they did not box up certain things because those could be transported in other ways on moving day (for example wrapping things within an empty bookshelf). They finished the packing in less than 6 hours, and they did all the moving from mountain view to millbrae in about 7 hours. They were also very understanding and flexible with my scheduling. As it turns out, the original date I reserved could not work out because of a delay in our closing date, and they were able to reschedule when I gave them two days’ notice before the original date. I called another moving company recommended to me by my friends for a quote as well, but their hourly rate was 50% more than Unline’s! Overall, a fantastic experience.

My family recently moved and decided to choose Uni-​line based on their stellar Unilocal reviews, and they did not disappoint! In total, we had 3 movers come on time at 10am, and moved all the furniture pieces we kept within 4 ½ hours. The movers were really friendly and extremely professional. They handled everything delicately and even wrapped everything up, before actually moving the furniture. They knew how to move my piano, and took really good care of it – I was worried that my piano would be damaged, or scratched in the process, but these guys expertly handled the entire process smoothly. My family and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They truly made moving less stressful! :) We will use them again if we ever decide to rearrange furniture around the house or get new pieces. Anyone who wants professional movers and a stress-​free move should hire Uni-​line!

These guys were incredible! I moved from a place up 15 stairs to another place around the corner with the same amount of stairs but with turns. They moved quickly and were able to maneuver my large, awkward, super heavy armoire into the place. It was unbelievable given the angles of the stairs. The prices are more than reasonable and I would suggest tipping the guys well for their hard work. I would absolutely recommend them for any move!

These guys are amazing. The owner was friendly, efficient, and knowladgeable. The guys who he brought were very friendly. We have used them several times and they have never disappointed, they sat me down for a FREE consultation on how best to move some fragile items. Uniline is honest, accountable, and the best movers in the bay. I looked at the other reviews and couldn’t believe there were ones less than five stars!

The movers are certainly experienced. They showed up on time and were efficient and thorough. BUT they brought a truck that was much too small for the furniture in our one bedroom apartment. This resulted in two trips (outside of SF) and double the time/​cost they quoted me. A 4 – 5 hour quote was actually a 9-​hour move.
When I booked, I explained the size of our apartment and was assured their trucks could fit up to 2 – 3 bedrooms, but they showed up with a truck that could probably only hold a studio-​sized worth of stuff.
When I brought the truck size up day-​of, I was told that there was no way all our stuff would have even fit in their «big truck.» I find that hard to believe… we moved out of a one bedroom! Eventually they did cut $ 100 off the price which was appreciated, but overall still frustrated since their small truck resulted in much more of our time and money.
My advice: be explicit about how much stuff you have, discuss the truck size and possible second trip upfront so you aren’t dealing with that day-​of.

I used this company to move from one bedroom to another, mostly because I heard from a friend that they’re on the cheaper side. You call and you might have to speak up when making an appointment. They don’t give you a confirmation number or ask for a down payment, which is nice. I trusted that they wouldn’t flake since they had so many good reviews on Unilocal.
They were pretty much on time, only 15 min late from the appointment time and quickly went to work. They didn’t take long or purposely lagged and were actually quite efficient. They just wanted the job done, and done quick. The movers were real nice too. They wrapped my bed in the plastic wrap, and moved my boxes gently. Overall, I don’t have any negative comments. I would recommend and use this company again in the future!

They were awesome. In making the reservation, Julie was fantastic and explained everything well.
On move day, the team (I used 3 guys) came on time. They were very friendly and introduced each other to me and walked the whole house to see what we were moving. They also helped us put all our storage items in the back first and then put the items we were moving to our house after.
They took care of all our items and did it really quick. I would recommend them to anyone. Competitive pricing, hardworking and took care of our stuff!

my friend was moving and we picked this place because jennifer’s review. she’s right — they ARE reaallllyyy funny! and pretty fast. teehee. nice work!

AH.-Friggin.-MAZING.
These guys were awesome for my move from a studio into a 1 bdrm apartment. Granted, yes it was in the same building. and yes, it was hourly (with a 2 hour minimum). But it was the cheapest hourly rate I received after getting about 8 – 9 quotes.
They were SO EFFICIENT. that they actually packed my shoes into one of the boxes because I was packing the rest of my stuff more slowly than they were moving it… I honestly think they were trying to help me pack up some of the small loose odds and ends lying around and my shoes were packed in the shuffle. As I was fishing my shoes out of one of the boxes, one of them caught me and start to apologize profusely. it was REALLY cute. and super super funny to me.lol. ANyway. iono if that little anecdote is going to translate over correctly in this review, but the main takeaway is: They were really efficient, super considerate, and made me laugh to myself for about 10 – 15 minutes.
They finished my move in less than an hour and a half. They were AWESOME. Super fast… SUPER CAREFUL.friendly.they disassembled all my big a** furniture in a jiffy and had it all reassembled by the time I made it upstairs.
Will definitely use them for all my moves and recommend them to anyone that comes along!

This is the second time we have used their services, the first was just within San Francisco. But the latest move was San Francisco to Los Angeles. Their prices are great especially when you compare then to the big name moving companies. They did a good job wrapping our furniture and loaded/​unloaded everything quickly.
Nothing bad to say about them. Would definitely re commend them!

I hired these guys to help me move in walnut creek and they worked hard and fast! Their rates are way better than the other moving companies I’ve used in the Bay Area. The movers were very careful with my belongings. There was one little mishap with something broken but I called Judy and she took care of it. I will definitely be using them in the future and referring them to my friends that are moving.
I’ve read other reviews about them not being able to speak English and for me it wasn’t a problem at all. All three men were able to communicate with me just fine. In the past I’ve had movers get chatty while they’re on the clock but it was the opposite with these guys. They kept working the entire time! Thanks Uni!

I hired these guys for my move from a house in Martinez to my new townhouse in Walnut Creek. They sent two movers and one truck, as I requested. They showed up on time (about 20 minutes early actually), and got the job done in an efficient manner. They didn’t damage anything. Best of all, their rates are much better than either of the two other moving companies I have used in the Bay Area.
Yes, the movers themselves speak almost no English, but to me, ability to hold a conversation is not why I hire movers. They spoke enough to understand what I needed moved and where it was supposed to go.

We checked with some higher rated places on Unilocal but the quote we got from Uni Line was almost half the cost of some of the higher rated options. We had two movers and 1 truck for our move which was from a small house in Hayward to a 2 story house/​garage combo in San Mateo.
Frank and Du arrived on time and were super fast. Their English isn’t fantastic but they are smart guys who communicate well and work incredibly quickly. They had our whole house loaded up in just over an hour, including some large footprint items like our couch, stand up arcade unit and Precor Elliptical machine. The back of their truck looked like an incredibly well executed game of 3D Tetris.
Once we arrived in San Mateo we were afraid the move would stretch out due to the stairs but they got everything up and in the new place with no effort. The whole move was barely over 3 hours including travel time. We were blown away by their speed and work ethic.
We had heard some people mention how their movers asked for more tip but we tipped really high so they were surprised at how much we gave them and didn’t ask for anything else. Even with the large tip the move was still about 25% cheaper than most of the places we checked with. I would highly recommend these guys and will definitely ask for the Frank — Du combo the next time we move!
P. S. Use cash if you can there is a nice discount for paying with cash.

This is the 3^rd time I have used these guys to move. Last week they moved me from a high rise in Oakland to a high rise in San Francisco and they did it quickly and efficiently. They made my move stress free and actually enjoyable. I highly recommend them! :-)

Fast and efficient! They made sure everything was wrapped and safe.

I had a great experience using Uniline Moving this weekend. They were prompts, efficient and careful with all of my belongings — and way cheaper than other moving companies. More so, it started torrentially pouring during the unloading and the guys were great and kept moving. I highly recommend these guys!

I talked to Jackie in Uniline and he was very helpful.
–He made a call before appointment to confirm.
–Good price (4 guys @ $ 120 /​hour) which is relatively good.
–They showed up on time.
–They were fast, they did not damage anything, they lift heavy heavy things easily.
–They helped me with dis-​assembling and assembling my beds and dressers, …
The only reason I gave a 4-​start instead of 5:
I repeatedly asked for a LARGE truck … they sent a medium truck and it got full, half way thru the move … we had to go drop off one time and come back.
Lucky I just moved 1 mile away– otherwise it would be a disaster.
Thanks!

yes, the movers are Chinese but their English is fine. I’m not sure why anyone needs to start chatting up their movers anyways. most everything is a yes or no question.
i hired 3 movers for $ 90/​hr because i have huge furniture moving from a 3-​story townhouse with narrow stairs to a 3^rd floor apartment with no elevator. the team was fast and efficient, wrapped everything quickly in saran wrap and mats, and moved us from palo alto to san francisco in 5 hours for $ 450 + $ 20 gas. low prices, good service. they do ask for a larger tip at least once so don’t get thrown off. i definitely tipped them well because 3 flights of stairs on both sides of the moves had all 3 movers running out of steam by the end.

70 dollars an hour. The two movers sent work as hard as they can to move everything as fast as possible for you. They plastic wrapped all items that needed it and even loaned us a box or two for our oddly shaped items. One spoke English/​Chinese. The other spoke just Chinese.
I have to say my apartment is very difficult to move everything into. I am on the second floor with a narrow spiraling staircase. And they got all our items including a queen bed up there in good time. They gave me an original estimate of 140 dollars. The whole thing took a bit longer than expected so it was 175 dollars.
One thing that may weird out people is that the movers do ask for their tip as you are paying them the service fee. I was prepared for that because of Unilocal.And truth be told I don’t care. They say it kinda jokingly and you know what, they deserved a good tip. I did give them a great tip because I knew my stairs were difficult to navigate. They were grateful and everyone left smiling. Overall the experience was awesome.

I would definitely recommend them if you are moving. The two guys that showed up were fast, efficient and friendly. They have got the job done in no time! Judy, the gal who works in the office was very nice and also followed up on everything.
In response to all people complaining about the movers that could speak little English: there is always a way to communicate even if the other person doesn’t speak the same language. It also doesn’t mean that they are dumb. I really don’t understand the arrogance and ignorance here. Maybe you should travel to another country (if you have a passport!) and then see how nicely others treat you if you don’t speak their language.
