In their own words
I hired this company to move out office and they confirmed the night before and never showed up I called, Texted & emailed for 1 hour with no response, till 10pm with a bogus response that they lost my info which is bull because I booked with a site. Business owners beware my entire day was wasted and I was forced to scramble to find another moving company on the same day. Very unprofessional.

Hello viewers, Sadly this will not be a good or even a positive review for Daves Moving Company. My family & I moved back in 2023. I'm just now leaving a review late due to health issues but I never forgot that I wanted to do so. This was our first time using a moving company and it was a terrible experience. They moved my boyfriend first, (his mom thankfully had friends & family to move her) and I was last on the schedule.

Unprofessional, unorganized and VERY poor service.. David does not stand by his work. Would rate 0/10 if possible. Absolutely terrible experience, I would not trust this company to move a piece of paper let alone any of my valuable items! UPDATE: David, you know exactly who I am because you just sent me an email full of EXCUSES for your repeated poor business practices and lack of follow up!!!

In their own words
Dave’s Moving Company was amazing. I needed a last-minute move from Long Beach to San Mateo, and they made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Fair pricing, very professional, organized, and efficient. They even helped set up and assemble my bed and furniture after the move. Everything was handled with care, and the team was super helpful from start to finish. Definitely recommend them if you need reliable movers.
Thank you for the feedback.
“The Smoothest Move You’ll Ever Have!” Dave and his team made my commercial move seamless — professional, responsive, and careful from start to finish, the smoothest move I’ve ever had!
