Palo Alto Mover Reviews
Great very attentive to needs and were timely.
So helpful and kind! Great job!
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
On time, very nice, worked hard, put much more into pod then expected
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.
The first two guys helping me load up were there early, and went over exactly what needed to be taken and what was to be left. When they started they just kept taking and loading up the trailer… before I knew it they were finished!! Finished a half hour early. Great guys, polite and thorough. When I got to my new place, the other two movers were already there waiting. We spent a half hour looking for the right dam apartment, which was the management’s fault, then they started to unload. These guys had to haul the stuff up a flight of stairs, but they also finished on time. I’ll use this company again without question! Thanks guys!!
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.
Good
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."

I highly recommend the MovingZoom team. The three men who helped us were punctual, very helpful, and worked very quickly and diligently. We had to pinch ourselves at how fast the move went. Thank you, thank you!
Really happy with this experience. Booking was easy and my movers showed up early, were friendly, quick and treated my belongings with care. It all felt very professional and easy.
We used MovingZoom to support my move into a new studio apartment. Alex and Austin were extremely friendly and efficient. They arrived on time, worked well with the PODS container driver to unload my items and were done in 1 hr 15 min. The day couldn't have been easier. Highly recommend!
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.
Thank you for being flexible and helpful throughout the move. The communication was great and I felt assured throughout the process. The guys worked fast and were very attentive to my belongings. I will definitely reach out again if I need help moving.
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!!
Bob and Austin were on time, friendly, hardworking and careful with my belongings. I would highly recommend these workers and their company, which accommodated my schedule when my container was delivered later than expected.
Alfa Moving was a huge help when we needed to move our Upack cubes from Oakland to Emeryville. Our items were handled with care, and expediently moved from a busy garage to our upper level apartment. I highly recommend Alpha Moving for anyone moving who wants professionals who are familiar with the Bay Area.
Bob and Austin were phenomenal! They were efficient, knowledgeable, and kind. I’d recommend them anyone who’s looking to hire a few people to help with unloading a U-Haul.
I want to say this was the most amazing moving experience I have ever had! Carlos and the 2 guys that were with him oh were so awesome. I will be recommending them and their manager Noah who called my constantly to make sure things were good. I will be using them again in a few weeks. Fantastic men and very hard working! Thank you again guys you deserve a raise!!
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.
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.
