I absolutely loved working with Flat Rate Movers! These guys are great! We have moved five times in the last four years, and used other movers in the past. Starving Students ripped us off and broke a few items we cared a lot about, some other local movers in the bay area took care of the other three moves, but bitched about it the entire time.
When it came to moving from San Francisco to L.A., this time, we did our homework. Flat Rate really does deliver what they promise. Jake came and did our in-home estimate, we agreed on the price and that's exactly what we ended up paying. I have to admit- we had a bit more than was on the sheet, but the movers didn't complain- the price was the price and that was it.
Not only did they bring all the stuff to wrap everything- there wasn't an extra charge for blankets, boxes, etc. They even took our clothing out of the closets and packed & Unpacked it at the new place! How awesome is that?!
They work quickly and efficiently, each guy introduced himself with a smile and a hand shake and they didn't complain at all.
We were probably a big pain in their behinds, since the place we were moving to wasn't ready when it was supposed to be. They were so sweet, and held our delivery for three extra days. They didn't unload the truck, they just let it wait for us to be ready... and they could not have been nicer about the whole thing.
When it came time to unload our truck full of stuff- the delivery guys were incredible! It took less than 4 hours for them to unpack an entire truck, including stairs and a bit of a walk to our front door- not to mention our three levels INSIDE the place as well.
They worked their butts off and we were amazed and grateful! They even helped us move things around after we changed our minds where we wanted them, and did it with a smile!
IF you're looking to move, whether it's five minutes away or cross country, these guys are fabulous. It's not just about the money, because a lot of movers will end up charging you more than they estimate (we have had other movers add over $1000 to the total price come delivery time) ... Flat Rate is fair, honest, friendly, efficient and quick. They don't waste time, and they are always pleasant- even when you call 20 times to change the pick up & delivery dates.
We were a nightmare customer for them, I'm sure, but they made us feel like we were super easy to work with and they were grateful for our business.
If you want a professional, reasonable move and have faith your belongings will 1. arrive and 2. arrive in tact, call Flat Rate for an estimate. They really are the best around, and I'm sure you won't be sorry.
