North Coast Moving & Storage

Don’t use their services. Why? Apparently they hire drug users who prefer to keep LSD in their system forever (indirect quote). Same idiot who also happens to manage the computer systems for this company.
I seriously think this company should do a random drug test on all their computer people. Just what you need, someone messing with your valuable personal info while they’re hallucinating.

This two star rating was for the damaged they did to my furniture and the lack of respect they had for my personal belongings during the move.
The front office/​appraisal people were great. They returned my phone calls the same business day, they were very helpful with the whole process. It is because of them that I gave this review an extra star.
The movers the came, at first, appeared to be very efficient and experienced. They moved my piano with great care. There were several items where they just casually wrapped in blanket and said that they would take back to their office and shrink wrap.
When they delivered my belongings in San Francisco, NOTHING was shrink wrapped except my white couch (and only because it was white so it probably would have gotten dirty). There was damage to my piano, my entertainment system, my chairs, my dressers. This could have easily been avoided if they had wrapped it in plastic like they had told me they would. They were just plain LAZY.
I have had plenty of experience with moving companies as I tend to move every couple of years and this experience with the movers itself has been the worst. Luckily, I purchased the full insurance. Just a warning, if you use them, purchase the full insurance with no deductible!

We did an interstate move from WA to Southern CA and it was a full service agreement with a guaranteed «not to exceed» amount.
1. Price quote: They gave us a fair quote and we accepted it over 2 other national chains that were very high in both weight and cost. When they identified that there was a difference in the weight quoted and what was actual, they lowered the invoice.
2. Packing day: It was a very caring team that came in and did the wrapping and packing. The packers were very courteous and made sure not to disturb our baby.
3. Moving day: The movers called the day before to let us know when they would arrive. Again, they were courteous and worked hard and fast. The only mistake I saw was that they left their ramp.
4. Delivery: They requested their check before as agreed upon, and they moved all the items in. We were absolutely surprised that there was not one item broken in the move or delivery.
Again, every experience is different but from what I can see of how North Coast operates. That is probably why my company, which is one of the largest technology companies in the world, uses them. I did my research prior and signing with Allied’s North Coast, I contacted the BBB, did web research and even called my company to ask about them. This is a quality company who gives you exactly what you pay for, service.
