Palo Alto Mover Reviews
Excellent work! They moved everything quickly and gave me some good advice.
Very good team, very efficient and handled my stuff with great care!
Ben and his crew were unphased by the scope of the job I was asking them to do. This wasn't the typical move! They were to move all manner of ranch and animal stuff from one ranch to another. 22 years of stuff. Alfa Moving was on time, worked their hearts out and never complained about the cobwebs, dirt, and sheep poop! Thank you so much, Ben! I recommend them and would use them again in a heartbeat!!
They was very nice and didn’t break any thing moved everything correctly
Great job loading the van!
Joseph and the crew were amazing. They were professional and so polite. They made our move a joy. I highly recommend them as a qualified crew.
Michael and his crew got to my place on time. They were polite, efficient and they did an amazing job. Will use them for my next move and strongly recommend them.
I can’t say enough about these two young men. They were absolutely quick, careful, considerate.. They were easy to deal with, and I would highly recommend your company again. I’m very grateful. Happy holidays
Can I please say the 2 guys that came were the sweetest, polite and warm people I have met in a while. They were early and were waiting for me which is a blessing in my case anyway. They 100% took care with my belongings as they removed from my storage and loaded properly in the truck. I am extremely HAPPY with the entire experience and I ENCOURAGE STRONGLY that you hire them for ANY job you may have because you will be more than happy you did trust me.
Paradise Moving & Storage LLC was so professional. They touched base with me to confirm what types of objects I was moving a few days prior to the move. They called me when they were on their way to the house and showed up on time. They moved quickly and wrapped all of my furniture up to protect it. They were polite and hard working. I was very impressed with them and have recommended them to a few friends already. I highly recommend.
The movers were on time and did a very good job with the move.
I had a really tough job. It was a 2800 sq foot home with large furniture, a mirrored buffet, and 40-50 boxes. It was a ton of stuff. They came at 9am and packed all the boxes, wrapped all the furniture, and everything got to my new home without a scratch. These guys worked late, and were always moving. They worked very hard. The window was 8am-10am, got there at 9am and were just moving till very late. Did not break or scratch a thing, they are very professional. I would use them for my next move! 5 stars, I was very pleased. It is worth the extra few bucks if you have nice stuff!!!

Real Advice from Palo Alto Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Palo Alto. (They’re really nice!)
"When moving into or out of Palo Alto, check with the City Hall regarding parking permits for moving trucks or PODS to avoid fines, especially in areas with restricted parking. For truck rentals, U-Haul on El Camino Real and Budget Truck Rental on the same street are reliable sources with a good selection of trucks; booking in advance is recommended. When driving a large rental truck, it’s advisable to use major roads like Alma Street or Middlefield Road instead of busy streets like University Avenue."

They were on time and very organized. The move was handled quickly and their expertise and strength was amazing. They were personable and we would definitely use them again.
They were incredibly prompt. When they arrived, it was pouring rain, so they agreed to come back in an hour, after the rain subsided. Then, they banged out a two hour job in just over an hour. Very friendly. Fast. Followed directions perfectly! I would recommend without reservations!
The movers from Alfa were not only on time, but early. We’re totally prepared, worked as a team and moved efficiently and with care. They worked hard, were extremely helpful and totally respectful. I would totally recommend their services to anyone.
Noah and Carlos were wonderful. Efficient, knowledgeable, friendly and on time! They packed the truck in 2 hours flat! Definitely would use Noah again! #BOB
The movers were super efficient and communicative in transporting all of my belongings from my home to a POD storage bin within the 2 hour time frame that I hired them for. I highly recommend their service.
Proload is definitely a Top quality moving company. They were so accommodating during my move and know how to compact space! Take their suggestions if you are short on space ??. Also, if you forgot to bring straps or bungies, don't worry about going to drive all the way to Home Depot, they'll help you. You will no go wrong booking this company. 5-stars in my book.
Carlos and Purcell did an awesome job moving our stuff into our new home. Their professionalism, friendliness, knowledge, and physical efforts made this move stress-free for us. They represent an outstanding credit to your company.
Bob and Austin were fantastic. They worked hard, gave great moving and packing advice, and were very polite. They got the job done. We will, for sure, use Moving Zoom’s services again!!
They were on time, friendly, professional, respectful of my belongings, and were very efficient in their role. I would definitely recommend hiring them as professional movers. Very hard working people.
They did a great job dealing with loading of all our belongings, careful, respectful, timely & if I move back to the Bay Area I would definitely consider using them again. Thank you very much, Fred H.
They arrived on time, worked hard and quickly. 16’ POD was about 3/4 full including furniture and many boxes all stacked to the top. They had it all unloaded and in the house in under 3 hours. Very satisfied with their work.
MovingZoom was amazing! Super helpful and the movers got all my stuff in with time to spare. They helped put my furniture back together and moved everything safely with no issues. Highly, highly recommend.
