In their own words
Absolutely the worst moving experience of my life!!! Our family's recent move from Los Angeles to the San Francisco bay area with Trek Movers Inc. (based in Los Angeles) was the worst experience we ever had with any moving company. The 6 movers from Trek Movers who handled our belongings were shockingly unprofessional and incredibly rude from the moment they arrived. Their behavior made us uncomfortable, and they intimidated us by refusing to even move their truck so that we could go out to lunch.
Please, please, please, please do not make the mistake we did and use this company. The movers were pleasantly surprised with how little we needed to move, and I thought it was a great sign that it was just the things I alone could not move to our new apartment. However, I was wrong. This move ended up being a little over 7 hours. I am uploading pictures of our exact move so you all are aware and can make informed decisions when looking for moving companies.
Reply to response The crew arrived, looked around then left without stating anything. No statement about concerns of health or safety. This is unprofessional. No other way about it If something was of safety concern such a thing should have been stated. Or at the very least treat customers with a ounce of courtesy by speaking to them. As noted in their reply they completely avoided the topic of their unprofessionalism and went to the canned response.
These two reviewers represent the same relocation project (Thelma K. and Patrick P.). They deliberately hide the real reason and provide false information about why our company has to refuse the service. We are sorry to make this reply public.
BEWARE!!! I chose Trek because of the great reviews, even though it was the more expensive option. I used them this past month for packing and loading services. Unfortunately, I had a really bad experience. And as a note: I've moved many times, moving is really hard on your stuff - don't expect things to arrive without scratches and bumps. However, there is certainly a standard to be met by good movers and Trek failed to meet it.
I will add the disclaimer that it heavily depends on who you get. My boyfriend used this company a few weeks prior to me and had a much different experience, which was mostly positive. I hired 3 movers. Of the 3, one worked the hardest. One of the others, who was the lead was good, but talked a tremendous amount and would practically stop all packing or go very slow when he was talking. The other spoke no English at all and seemed to not do anything unless he was instructed by the others.
This review is my opinion of Trek Movers. Communications was not good. The movers were Russian and spoke very little broken English. I was not sure they properly communicated the full moving process or understood our questions / requests. They estimated time for the move (generous amount of time). After they provided their estimate, we informed them that we (2 people) would help with moving items to and from the van. We worked hard and tried to accelerate the move to save money.
DO NOT USE TREK MOVERS! I was scammed. I was originally quoted by Trek 3 hours at $149/hr for my move. My apartment was all packed up in boxes, save for the large furniture, and ready to go when the movers arrived. They were set to come at 9am and move me two miles into a storage unit. I scheduled cleaners to come at 2pm. When a couple of hours had passed and they were still loading the truck, I asked if we were still on track to be done on time. I was then told by the movers that it would be closer to 6 hours.
Watch out not to be tricked by this people. I happened to find my new home 5 days to the end of the month. I was so stressed between working, packaging and moving , i tried to find a moving company that i could trust to make this transition smoother for me . Trek movers company was the second company i called ; and picked based on their sweet talk and promises, which also had an opening on easter Sunday I was told for one bedroom with maximum 3 hours the job could be done, the person I talked to also emphasized…

In their own words
We had an excellent experience with Trek Movers and couldn’t be happier with our decision. After researching and getting quotes from several moving companies, Trek was by far the best price, and the service exceeded our expectations. What really set them apart was how modern and efficient the process felt. Instead of a long in-person walkthrough, they did a video conference tour and followed up with a clear, professional video proposal, which was refreshing and very easy to understand.
This is the first time I have requested/used a professional moving service and it was a breeze! I requested a quote via Yelp to just get general information at first since this was so new to me. I have some heavier items I was needing moved and wanted to find out how that works as well as pricing. I spoke to Ben and another lady who were very helpful and answered all of my questions and concerns. I had to move my time around a week before and they were very accommodating.
I needed to move several times over the course of 6 months and was concerned that I find good movers (I have some antique furniture that has gotten seriously dinged in the past). I surveyed my entire company over Slack for recommendations on the best movers in Orange County. Trek Movers was mentioned over and over again. I've used them 3 times now and I am a highly satisfied customer. They have prompt, polite, smart movers who are extremely careful with your household goods.
Exceptional Service – Highly Recommend Robert & His Team! I cannot say enough good things about my recent experience with Trek Movers. Moving is usually incredibly stressful, but Robert and his team made the entire process absolutely seamless. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, efficient, and incredibly careful with all of my belongings. Here is what stood out the most: - Punctual & Hardworking: They arrived right on time and didn't waste a single minute.
Thank you for the amazing review! We're thrilled to hear your move was smooth and stress-free. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team's professionalism, care, and dedication. Thank you for your recommendation, we look forward to helping you with your next move!
