1-star Google reviewLeo G.6 years ago
S&M Moving created the worst moving experience ever. 30% of my items were missing by the time they arrived at the final destination. After months of back and forth, their insurance had agreed to cover only a small portion of my looses. Everyone up the management stack is unprofessional. Use them at your own risk.

I recently use this company thru the relocation given by my company. They are very pricy and they will charge you every ways they can. They will charged u overtime for loading the goods on weekend, fuel charge, loading and unloading charge. They will even charged you for waiting for delivery (when i requested them to deliver my stuffs at 11am and the delivery crew came at 9am and said if they need to wait more than 2 hours, they will charge me extra 300$) I moved from Southern CA to northern CA and cost me 7K…

I am honestly shocked that after this long, a company of this caliber still doesn't take covid seriously. We had a move rescheduled by the company because we had covid and couldn't get ahold of anyone (Thanksgiving week/weekend) to let them know ahead of time. We attempted to notify them through multiple avenues that we had covid and ask what they wanted to do in regards to the move that was scheduled.

I would not use this company for moving. The movers got to me on time but then I had to sit with them for over two hours to get my things moved. I used their storage also. My first contract was for only 47 cents per storage. Will unbeknownst to me when the changed my contract they made it cost 1 per storage. I called to let them know and they will not honor my first contract. They already put my price up to begin with and then they charge me more than double for storage.

Try to avoid this Moving company if you possibly can. The initial service is excellent. It's the moving part and follow-up that is absolutely terrible. The movers themselves are very nice and try hard not to damage anything as they move …

The crew arrived on time and we were very pleased handling of the furniture and fragile items while loading and unloading. Although one crew member had to leave the rest managed to get the unloading, thus spent more time although was getting to very late night they worked hard with the same vigor and enthusiasm.

We had an excellent experience with S&M Moving and Logistics for the installation and build-out of shelving units across the labs I project manage. The team was extremely quick, efficient, and professional from start to finish. They sent a 6-person crew that worked seamlessly together and handled everything with precision and care. Special shoutout to Team Lead Eric, who executed the entire scope exactly as planned and ensured every detail was completed to spec without issues.
