College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving

The guys were very friendly and moved the items (stacked mini washer/​dryer and fridge) quickly.
The downside is that they were scheduled to show up between 11 and 1, but didn’t show up until just before 3. This meant that instead of taking a half day at work, my husband had to take the entire day off to wait for them.
Luckily, he is salaried but if it were me having to take the day (or most people), it would have cost WAY too much.

It’s my own fault. I should have said no. I was quoted a ridiculously expensive price and I said yes. Fine… But before you think I have an ax to grind… I paid more for them to take some stuff to Goodwill than I paid a moving company to load, move, and unload. Again — my fault but really?
The worst part is the stuff went to Goodwill. I overpaid to donate my own stuff. FML.
And it was my own fault. I said «yes.»

Edward and Israel were wonderful: showed up right on time and I don’t have a scratch on my curving staircase wall that was so hard to maneuver the bulky furniture through. They put large and medium-​sized items that were going to Goodwill on the truck plus helped me move around some very heavy furniture that I couldn’t have handled alone. At first I took off two stars because it was so expensive: nearly $ 500 for two guys for about 2 hours of work plus the hauling. But I put one back because College Hunks will pickup ANYTHING as opposed to the free but extremely picky Goodwill. I think $ 300 would have been fair and at that price I would have been 5-​star happy.

Just had the pleasure of working with Arik & Edward. I missed their 30 minute call and called an hour later and they came right away. Incredibly professional and hardworking, they did a great job and were enjoyable people. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

So we bought new furniture which was to be delivered yesterday i needed the old sofa and loveseat out. The furniture was heavy and the space to move it was very limited. So while searching I found this treasure. From beginning to end the whole experience was awesome. Bree who set up my appointment was friendly and pleasant over the phone. Arik called me to see if they could arrive earlier since they were in the neighborhood. It worked out great. Once Arik and Ed arrived my mom who was at the house was impressed by their courteous, respectful, and friendly demeanor. The price was what I thought was a little expensive but I’ve never used this type of service. I got what I paid for and would do it again. Glad that I now have a go to hauling and moving place. Thank you for making this stressful situation what you promise stress free.

I unexpectedly had only one day to prepare for a move and wanted to donate all of my furniture. None of the charities (Goodwill, Salvation Army, Vets, etc) were available for pickup for another two weeks, but I saw that they had a partnership with College Hunks. I was surprised when they told me they could come out and remove my furniture within 24 hours.
On the day of the move, the movers (Arik and Edward), called ahead to ask if they could come out earlier. I was happy as it worked out even better for my schedule. From the minute they arrived, they were absolute professionals and extremely friendly. They gave me a very fair quote ($ 231 after a $ 10 discount for my sofa and table donation to Goodwill) and loaded my items within 5 minutes. They also allowed me to pay by credit card and provided donation receipts which saved me the huge hassle of going myself. They were super efficient and I couldn’t believe how fast the whole experience was. You could really tell that these guys cared about doing a great job and making their customers happy. I’ve moved at least 10 times in the past few years and this had to have been the best and easiest experience. I highly recommend College Hunks and Arik and Ed in particular. Thanks so much guys!

Very pleasant experience. We had two guys come and haul away a large amount of donation items, including large pieces of furniture. They were courteous, professional and quick. Would highly recommend!

They were very helpful and courteous with hauling my couch and love seat. On top of that they hauled away 2 patio chairs that I could not sell during my garage sale.

Unfortunately we had a horrible experience and will absolutely never use them again. We had a huge Church Rummage Sale and had lots of items left over for pickup/​donation. We called weeks in advance to schedule the pickup and received a quote stating $ 600 would be our maximum and they guaranteed a Saturday pickup.
An hour before pickup I was called to say they couldn’t do the pickup that day because they were too busy. The church parking lot was filled with items that had to be cleaned up before it’s Sunday service.
After begging and pleading for them to stick to their commitment they said they’d figure it out. In their defense they did, but I literally had to plead with them for this. Once they came out they quoted me $ 1,039, which is almost double what we were quoted over the phone originally. My hands were tied at this point because I needed the parking lot cleared so I paid it and am still sick to my stomach.
Salvation Army does free donation pickups for events like ours, but doesn’t pickup on Saturdays. Next year we’ll store all leftover rummage sale items in a POD until Monday and have Salvation Army do this for free!!!
College Hunks was a big hassle and way toooo expensive and unprofessional.

There is absolutely no where to dispose of a hospital bed for free … I tried every company possible before I realized to try something that could make my life so much less stressful; but honestly, if your trying to get rid of something large, complicated, or even a bunch of junk… spend the money and go through these guys. They are so awesome and the best customer service I could’ve ever asked for. I was off site for the services and had to pay with a credit card and they took care of me right away, told me they would quote me for the price the day of once they arrived and then I would called through a secure line to pay.
So, I was texted the morning before they’re scheduled arrival confirming my appointment and then also received a phone call an hour before they arrived to confirm the address again. Arik was a dream come true and made sure everything was handled and that I didn’t have to worry about not being there for the pickup. He explained their pricing and really seemed like he cared about his job which is huge to me. My mother took over from there and she said they were sharply dressed, super kind and in and out in 20 minutes. The price was fair and I was more than happy with spending every penny for just the service alone. Thank you for making my day stress free. I will forever recommend :-)

Called for Junk Removal was quoted $ 615 max, driver showed up and quoted $ 1100, because he said 2 loads were needed. I looked in his truck and saw it half full with someone else’s junk. I called another hauler and they did it in one load. l saved $ 500. The hunks are a ripoff!

Called a 949 number and address states santa ana but after holding for a rep I found out they do not do California moves.

I used this company to pick up a large item to donate to Good Will. It was great to be able to make my appointment online — I liked the immediate feedback, phone call confirming the pick up.

I contacted College Hunks through the Goodwill website. I was thrilled with the service I received. I don’t think that people know that they can call this service to come and pick ANYTHING up. They were on time. They were very careful with my home, I had just had my walls painted and they did not scuff any of my walls and I had them take a lot of stuff out both heavy and light. I’d recommend this service to anyone!!!

Every person I’ve dealt with has been fabulous. Between booking an appointment, rescheduling that appointment (twice because I goofed), and the delightful «hunks» who hauled away my mom’s stuff, I have zero complaints! Everyone went out of their way to be polite and helpful.
I do wish their fees were lower, but I was given an accurate quote over the phone so I knew what I was in for.

What a great company. From beginning to end this company did a great job. So professional. Dependable. Came twice. Once to see what needed to be removed from a climb-​up-​into-​attic and give a solid estimate. The second appointment was to do the clear out. Every time the reps called to give me a 30 minute heads-​up that the were on the way. Arrived on time, dressed in a uniform, and were ready to go. They were polite and friendly. One guy had to climb up into the HOT attic and hand everything down to the guy on the ladder. They removed ¹⁄₃ of a 12×30 ft packed attic in 35 minutes! Super job. I would definitely call them again. Such a relief to have all that old stuff G.O.N.E. Thanks, guys!!!

Rip off they arrived 3 hours late. Once they arrived their estimate to move my items was $ 400.00. I had a 2 piece sofa, small desk, small 2×4 table, 2 bed side tables and 1 end table. I have moved 15 times being in the military. Sometimes my entire household goods cost me that. I was donating these items to Good Will. The great thing is that a company from LA Air Force Base called Universal took the items for free and will donate them to a local church. Thanks so much guys!

The final price turned out to be 4 times what the person on the phone estimated. Seems to me that they could do a better job estimating the cost originally and certainly do a much better job getting the price fairly accurate once they see the size of your junk pile. We felt taken advantage of after getting the bill for multiple trips which exceeded their estimates.

Wow, what a great concept. The guys were helpful, friendly and efficient.
I highly recommend the services and it’s cheaper than the other guys. They went above and beyond. THANKS Will use again… actually either this weekend or Monday.

Would never do business with… insanely expensive! The guys were nice and called to say they were running late, but I still have to work around THEIR schedule.
When they came they estimated $ 368 – 392 for 4 large furniture items and 4 medium boxes… absolutely crazy!
Oh, and by the way, that was «a range of pricing» The actual price would be be settled once they got the furniture on the truck… what a scam!!!
I said no thanks and send them packing. Very disappointing.
