In their own words
Worst movers I have ever had in every category. Underestimated the job, damaged my furniture, left a chaotic mess in my garage. Do not use these movers!

In their own words
Shipshape was hired by my housing co-op to move 2 rooms of my furniture to storage and back to my home. I must say I was very pleased with the guys that did the move. They were very efficient. They arrived on time and were prepared to start moving. They were polite and respectful. Following my instructions and asking for instructions when needed. They were very careful handling my belongings. They worked hard and consistent without breaks are lunch. They were very helpful on the move back.
Thank you, Barbara! Glad our crew delivered an efficient 2-room storage move in Oakland — on time, careful with your belongings, and hardworking from start to finish on both the move out and move back. We appreciate the recommendation! Best regards, Dennis V, Owner of Shipshape Moving
Alex and his 2 movers did a great job. They were professional, helpful, and went the extra mile. They were on time, responsive, and easy to work with. A couple of glasses broke in a moving box and they were quick to reimburse me. I’d choose this service if you’re looking for an affordable option. It wasn’t high end, but certainly got the job done well.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for your honest feedback! We're glad Alex and the team delivered a professional and smooth experience. We always want to do right by our customers, so we're pleased the broken glasses were handled … More
I had a wonderful experience with the four movers who helped with my move! All four of them worked incredibly hard from start to finish. They were professional, efficient, careful with our belongings, and had a great attitude throughout the entire process. I was especially impressed by how well they worked together and how much effort they put into making sure everything was handled properly and delivered safely. Moving can be stressful, but they made the whole experience so much easier and smoother.
I had to call many moving companies before I found one that could accommodate my schedule. I knew from the beginning of our conversation I was dealing with a company whose business model placed customer service at the top of their list. The gentlemen that arrived were also focused on providing the best customer service possible. I will absolutely be calling this company for my next move! Trustworthy, professional, and engaging. I couldn’t have been more pleased.
We are delighted to hear about your positive experience with our moving company! Our team is dedicated to ensuring a smooth and stress-free moving experience for all our customers. We look forward to assisting you with your next move and appreciate your kind words. Thank you for choosing us!
