1-star Google reviewMartin D.Edited 8 years ago
ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. I have moved 5 times in the last 12 years, and this one was by far the worst! Showed up to pack 2 hours late. Didnt finishing packing, said they were coming back the next morning at 8am to finish packing. NEVER CAME BACK! Then the loading team showed up, complained the whole time about having to pack. So my wife and kids ended up just packing ourselves while they complained. Showed up 7 HOURS LATE! to unload the truck at our new house.

Both Jaime and Perrin are very unprofessional. I went in the office and wasn't greeted properly. Jaime was EXTREMELY rude. Perrin will ask you very inappropriate questions and has no FILTER. Both just unbearable. Better off doing your move with someone else.

We contracted with them to move our family’s priceless heirloom piano. It was suppose to arrive 5 days after pick up. I called to confirm arrival time only to discover that it was sitting in a hot warehouse in San Benito. From there, they continued to lie about the piano and the delivery until they finally delivered it back to our home 5 days after they picked it up. The lady at the office covers up for their lies and incompetence and none of them should be trusted.

I am very disappointment regarding my overall moving experience with Gulf Moving Systems. They assured me that my move would be very easy for them with the minimal items that I had. When they arrived at my new apartment, I saw that my night …

Waited over an hour for the guy to show up for a scheduled estimate. They obviously don’t care if they have my business. If you can’t show up for the estimate, how can I trust you to show up and move my belongings on time?

What a great experience moving with gulf systems. Their men were friendly, courteous on time, and very nice and handled all of our furniture with the greatest of care. They were polite and hard-working. I can't say enough about Nelly in the office. She was fantastic and Mr. Ramirez the owner. What a great guy he was. I just can't say enough good things about gulf moving systems. If you have a question about how good they are, you can just call me and I'll tell you. Thank you gulf systems.

Exceptional customer service. I used this company 3 weeks ago and They were QUICK, wrapped all my furniture, & were careful with all items down the second floor to their moving truck. We were impressed with how quick they moved. I will be using them again in about 1 week. I recommend them 100%

Everyone at Gulf Moving was so wonderful and easy to work with (special shoutout to Nelly and Mr. Ramirez!). The process was seamless, from the in-person quote (easy, fast, and personable) to the actual move itself. It took less than 2 hours and was very reasonably priced—plus their crew was kind, helpful, and fun to chat with. If you’re looking for a reliable moving company (without going broke!!), give these guys a call! I couldn’t be happier :)
5-star Google reviewChris C.11 months ago
The entire process of our moving was in great hands. From the start, getting a quote, through the liading, delivvery and unloading. Every employee showed that they really cared aboyt giving quality and safe services. Nelly from the office was exceptional. Her comminication was ongoing, helping each step of the way. Both teams loading and unloading were efficient and so helpful.
