In their own words
Nightmare experience. First of all, the price we paid for a move was significantly higher than the quote that was given to my mother and I for the initial moving cost. This company already charges MUCH HIGHER than the standard pricing for the Bay Area. Secondly, my television arrived broken. Thirdly, the movers were very difficult to schedule with and were unreachable on the phone most of the time. Do not recommend using them at all.
I don't recommend them at all. When they initially got back to me about the quote I felt like their tone was brusque but I brushed it off. I should have realized it was a red flag, because the foreman who showed up was extremely rude and …

In their own words
This is a wonderful moving company to do business with. They were very diligent and thorough with booking, arrived on time constant communication, and they moved FAST. It’s incredible, don’t know how much better a moving device could get. Thank you to James, Andy, and Ezekiel!

Can I give more stars?! I broke my move into two parts and hired Budget movers with James for the first of my two parts. 3 men arrived with a massive truck and all the fixin’s. I’ve moved about 20 times on my life (That’s city life for ya) and have had other movers that I have loved working with. But these movers are next level! I’ve never seen movers work smarter than these gents did. They were so fast and efficient that I couldn’t help but be impressed.

This is the second time I’ve called Budget Movers to help and once again they came to the rescue. All the guys that came were very thoughtful competent & careful with all the furniture. They worked quickly and efficiently, and were honestly a joy to work with. I highly recommend them.

I am moving cross country and it is a very stressful move but this was the least stressful part because of how easy Wick and James made the process. Wick came and did my estimate. I got my Upack , they packed my one bedroom into one Relocube with no issues in 2.5 hours. I live in an apartment and they had to do a bit of walking but they did it seamlessly. They are an amazing team and even gave me pointers on how to pack to make this day go even smoother. It made my life so much easier and I am so happy.
