The Shoreline Moving Company

Guys, seriously. I can’t understand all the negative reviews. We used Shoreline when we moved into our house almost 2 years ago and we used them again last week when we moved out. They called the day before to confirm they were coming and they arrived at exactly 10 am on the dot. Damon, Marquis, and Carlos were professional, courteous, and very, very careful. They worked efficiently and strategically to load up our 4-​bedroom house with all of our stuff and they even saved us some money by fitting everything into a smaller space in the cross-​country truck than we had paid for. I recommend them without reservation.

After searching high and low for an AFFORDABLE moving company I came across Shoreline. I have to say, I really don’t understand the negative reviews. My experience with both bugging the costumer service AND the movers themselves were amazing. I dealt with David a lot on the phone and he was very helpful. If you can, recommend Carlos and Mike. They made magic happen, really. They were so fast and so efficient and ON TIME which is pretty hard to accomplish in LA. They went above and beyond extensively maneuvering my bulky couch in my new (significantly smaller) apartment. They were so quick with everything they did! Even the travel time was so quick they showed up just behind us. Carlos and Mike you guys, really strong and really awesome all around! I will continue to keep them bookmarked on Unilocal so I can use them again if I move. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I had a great experience with Shoreline! The company had come highly recommended by a friend. I booked about 5 days in advance and Kyle was in regular contact with me as moving day got closer. I was super appreciative because I had to move quickly and they were willing to move me on Easter Sunday with no extra charge. I was amazed at how quickly the move went – my whole apartment in 2 hours and 10 minutes, and that was including an extra stop to pick up a fridge I had just bought AND getting all of my furniture up the crazy stairs at my new apartment. None of my furniture was damaged at all and the movers were very friendly and respectful. I will use them next time I move!

Used Shoreline for the second time and was even more thrilled with the service this time around. They’re the most affordable company I’ve ever worked with. The team is friendly, careful and efficient. Highly recommended for big or small moves!

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! They are not reputable, they do not care, horrific customer service and have zero consideration for your time and money. I scheduled them on a Saturday at noon. Dave called to let me know the driver’s truck broke down and wouldn’t be able to make it at all but that they would be at my house at 7am on Sunday. The driver did not call and did not show up. I was able to get a hold of Kyle who then said that he couldn’t get a hold of the driver and that they would likely not show up at all. I received numerous apologies from Kyle and Dave which wound up being lip service. Their customer service skills are seriously non-​existent. Neither of them bothered to call me back to reschedule. They wasted my time and made no attempt to make up for their flaky driver. I ended up having to pay my landlord 3 additional days since I was supposed to be moved out on Sunday. I had to find another moving company, take time off from work and move in the middle of the week. I see a lot of great reviews for this moving company which are extremely difficult to believe since they screwed me over so thoughtlessly.
If you’re looking for a great moving company that will quote you a good price up front and show up when you schedule them, please call Paul’s Moving Co., Paul Perez 951.805.1290. They were able to squeeze me into their schedule, were quick, efficient and very considerate moving me from Murrieta to San Clemente. I’d highly recommend these guys to anyone that needs help moving.

We looked and shopped around our area for a decent price, was skeptical due to their low price compared to the other companies. These guys are legit! Showed up on time, good communication. Friendly guys and were real careful with everything. Would recommend and use again

First, I scheduled the move a week ago and I called the day prior to the comfirmed. No one answered and no call back.
Second, they did not show at the scheduled time and were a complete no show. After waiting for 30 minutes after my appointment time, I called and a gentlemen stated the truck broke down on the highway. I call BS due to the fact I had to call them several times prior to this weak explanation.
Then when he returned the call it was clear that their appointments meant nothing.
I read their reviews and thought I would be ok, however I was left with a blown day. I would suggest pay the extra money for a reputable company who believes in customer service.
BE AWARE OF THIS PLACE AND ANOTHER TIP; Never use day workers they will qoute you a price and change it once it’s time to unload.

I hired Shoreline Moving Company from a ad on craigslist. Since my move was a bit unique with the fact it was unloading 2 Cube’s (Shipping containers from ABF) and needed the stuff put into my apartment in Glendale. I asked for the help and i wasn’t disappointing. I got a call from Ray who was very professional and asked many questions to help make the project smooth as possible. They came in right on time at the facility and took care of all my items and were very personable and down to earth when it came to working with them during the project. I am very happy with the hard work they put in to getting my stuff in the apartment safe and sound. Will highly recommend them.

I hired Shoreline Moving company to move my office. I hired 2 guys for $ 59 per hour plus $ 25 for gas and they were done in 3 hours!!! I was so happy with the professionalism and the care they took with my desks, chairs and files cabinets. I would use them again for all my moving need. Thanks again!!!

Fabulous move from WEHO to USC area. Dave and his coworker were fast, respectful and helpful. They kept me updated when traffic or their previous customer was keeping them from being at my place. I locked my keys in the car and had to pay triple A to get it out which was no fun but Dave let me use his phone and was really chill. Nothing broken or stolen or missing. Thank you Shoreline Moving CO. !

Being in the military, I’ve experienced countless moves where the moving companies either mishandled things or lost things. With Shoreline Moving Company the movers that came made the move painless and followed through in a timely manner. I don’t normally write reviews (unless its bad) but I was so impressed with the two gentlemen that came to assist that I needed to let the Unilocal reviewers know to select them whenever they need assistance.

We found the company through craigslist. Their price is reasonable. We kept the starting time flexible and bargained some more as we didn’t had too many things and were moving close. Ray and Jonny carried in a 16f truck the 2 bedroom apt in 3 hrs. I also helped them but the guys are fast and did their best not to damage the furnitures. It took 3 hrs because the apt we moved was on the 3^rd floor and had narrow corridors.

I would recommend Shoreline Moving Co to everyone that needs a no hassle, no haggle, fast, reliable, pleasant move! I called them early in the morning to request a move for the very same day. They went to inland empire to pickup my furniture and delivered it to me in la. They were pleasant, positive, my furniture was nicely wrapped in plastic and cloth… they were awesome, very impressed.

I found the Shoreline Moving Company in a simple ad on Craigslist.
After reading the Unilocal reviews, I was a little skeptical about the quality of service that I would receive because the reviews were not too good, so I called the company to address my concerns. As I was talking to Kyle, my skepticism quickly faded. He assured me that I was paying for professional movers who would take care of my things just as I would. He even went a step further to ensure my satisfaction by offering to do the move himself along with one of his best movers. I was impressed and eventually hired them for 2 movers at $ 59/​hour, a $ 25 flat fee for drive time, and a three hour minimum. Out of all the other moving companies I priced, this was the cheapest. Kyle even threw in an extra stop to my storage, FREE OF CHARGE!
He stayed in communication with me, confirming the night before the move and the morning of. Our movers, Kyle and Quan, arrived on time and got started right away. In a little over an hour and a half, they had packed the truck at stop #1, pick up some items at stop #2, and were on their way to our final destination to unload.
The whole move was completed in a little less than 4hours (new apartment was on the 4^th floor so it took longer to unload everything) and I have to say that I was very pleased with the job done. They took great care of our things and we didn’t have to help with anything. I highly recommend their services and will definitely use them again in the future.

WOW. these guys are THIEVES
the first couple times i used them they were AMAZING. the owner of the company, David actually moved me himself… so polite, quick, great guys
this last time, move went smooth. polite guys, relatively quick and painless
but they broke my mirrored nightstand (that was well over $ 1,000 and the mover said he’d fix it and bring it back in a week at the most)…well that was september 20 and it is now December 8. i’ve called mutliple times, and now they dodge my calls.
they won’t even tell me where my nightstand is. the mover who was getting it fixed left the company.
they hire OUTSIDE companies and movers, which is super sketchy. i was moved around alot via phone trying to track my nightstand, broken or not, i want it back. the resale of it alone is at least $ 500. it was just a minor crack
also they couldn’t fit the couch in my house, so their suggestion was to just keep it. so i lost a nice couch and a nightstand
they’re a great company to move you, if you wanna refurnish your whole new place
SCAM! with a capital S-​C-​A-​M

This moving company was great!
2 guys for 59/​hour with a 24 ft truck.
Able to move my furniture (including California King bed and fridge) and apartment within 3 hours. Super professional and great price, very communicative. Would definitely recommend and will use when I move again.

NIGHTMARE! DO NOT HIRE!
I of course thought I was getting a good deal when I found a craigslist ad for 2 movers for 59.00 an hr with a 3 hr minimum. I thought to myself well I need movers and this sounds great! I scheduled the movers 3 days in advance, I was moving out of a 1bdroom loft apt. in which I told the girl Nikki who I scheduled with to make sure the truck had a lift gate as I had a sofa bed that was very heavy. She said no problem. Come Saturday the movers were to arrive between 12−2pm. They called me to let me know that morning that they will be indeed arriving at 2:00pm. The communication was great, they arrived on time, took a tour of the unit and began to work. We had organized most of the stuff to be by the door so there wasn’t much for them to do but grab and go. After 3 hours and a break to eat and take a phone call one guy was working and the other was down at the truck organizing. My boyfriend and I were also helping to get the process going as the time was ticking and things were not going down the elevators as quickly as could have been. By 6pm the sofa bed had been attempted to be moved but not very far. It was taken down one flight of stairs in which they forced it marking the wall along the way. They tried to do this for an additional 30 mins before calling to my bf to tell them they can’t. They said there is no way it came up the stairwell and that it had to be hoisted down for an additional cost. At this time I had almost a full truck that needed to be unloaded to a storage unit within the hour. I said to leave the couch for now and lets go do the drop. After we unloaded the truck I said we should go back and take the feet off the couch to try that as it would give more room. They said they were tired and it had been a long day that they would come back tomorrow for 150.00 to hoist it down. I said ok fine, signed the paperwork and that was it. We got back to the apt. to take the feet off and noticed the couch had been severely damaged from them forcing it out. This is a couch with tags mind you! I called and left messages for shoreline with no response. I called Sunday still no response. I got texted by the mover Danny that he would come move it for 160.00 but I said no i didn’t want him back after I saw the damage he did to my couch and that was the main reason I hired the movers to begin with! He then proceeded to call me cheap in the texts and that I was a liar for for how the sofa got into the apt. He told me it was my boyfriend who damaged the couch not them. The entire time he kept telling us he was a professional but wrecked of alcohol coming from his pores. Last time I checked professionals don’t damage items. I finally got a call from Raymond who is supposedly quality control for the move and said the stories weren’t matching up. He said that no one could come out on Sunday but they would be back Monday to move the couch. The apt was also being demoed at 8:00am so I needed the couch out on Saturday! I said this wasn’t going to work for us and I need to put a claim in for the damage. He said in order to do the claim I would have to go get the unit weighed at a weigh station and then would be paid .60 cents per pound. How can I get it weighed if I can’t move it down??? TOTAL SCAM! Raymond told me not to stress they would take care of it Monday. Well this went back and forth all day. Monday comes and they said they can’t be there till 3:00pm and I would have to pay to have them back. I said no way this is ridiculous but they didn’t care. I never got a copy of the signed paperwork, I was out 400.00 for a move that didn’t move everything (couch, bikes, BBQ, Umbrella) and had a damaged leather couch! Also the Raymond guy said the deal I got was so cheap, he hadn’t heard of that rate nor the girl who made my reservation so I was very confused as to who worked for who. To add insult to injury my boyfriend was searching the truck at the end of the night in the dark using his cell light and after rifling through moving blankets conveniently found his ps4 console in the ps4 box in a mound of blankets. Coincidence? I think not! BOTTOM LINE Do yourself a favor and learn from my mistake DO NOT HIRE SHORELINE, Omar, Danny or Raymond who are full of BS.

Kyle and Quan were very efficient and professional! I called the day before and was lucky enough to book them on such short notice. I’ve hired movers three times in the past three years and Kyle and Quan were by far the best movers. I really hate moving, so I’m definitely giving Shoreline a call the next time around. Hopefully, it won’t be anytime soon.
For what it’s worth, I’ve called three other movers in the past week to get quotes and to schedule a move before I called Shoreline. I was ready to settle for the quote that was priced in the middle, but the guy never called me back. I figured that just meant he was too good to move my stuff so I called the company with the lowest quote. He never returned my call either. The highest priced quote was way out of my budget so, I didn’t even think to give them a call. I went back to searching for a mover and made one call to Shoreline. They were the lowest price and turned out to be the best value.

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!!!
I had them move me from a 2 bedroom condo to a small house 15 mins away yesterday. The entire move took 7 hours and they didn’t finish the move!!! Just for the boxes, before the furniture it took them 4 hours. I was told by Dave, the customer service guy that I booked with that for a 2 bedroom condo I can hire 2 men at 65 an hour and that would take about 4 – 5 hours. The other option was 3 men for 85 dollars. He explained since I’m on the 3^rd floor having one man in the truck receiving items while two men go up and down carrying items this is the most efficient way and should have my move complete in 3 – 4 hours. So the cost is about the same, but the move is quicker. I choose to have 3 men.
This is what happened: they showed up on time. 2 of the guys were teenagers and the one adult seemed to know what he was doing however they were moving like molasses! They DID NOT work as a team and left all my items unattended in the truck for 30 – 45 mins at a time. That is because that’s how long it would take 3 of them to wrap one furniture item!!! No joke– I have a sectional couch that comes apart. They spent over an hour wrapping it. The teenagers would literally stand around and ask the adult «what should I do now ?» They stood around the entire time and we’re taking one medium sized item at a time instead of using their time wisely and working together. They also only brought ONE DOLLY! Then they also spend about 30 minutes wrapping our mattress! And they wrapped it so that it was bent in half! Our brand new expensive mattress now has a kink in the middle! Our kitchen table and a huge scratch! And to make matters worse, at the 5 hour mark, they still had not packed any of the clothes that I had packed nicely and left two large decorative picture frames in the living room because they ran our of wrap for it. Well maybe you should wrap things that don’t need to be wrapped??? So now my husband and I spent 650 to have damaged property and we are STILL NOT MOVED OUT. But are you ready for the kicker???
I called Dave at the company number 5 times during the move and no answer. I left several voicemails. I was polite and simply stated I had a concern to speak with him about and to please call me ASAP. Unilocal says they are currently open and I still have no call back. Dave– please call me ASAP before I call the better business bureau. All there movers are contracted and they don’t even know who is coming to your house! They have never even met them! I am adding a picture of the the inside of the truck at the 4 hour mark– about ¹⁄₃ full! My entire condo only filled half the truck!!!

Hired this company to move heavy items (refrigerator, washer/​dryer, couches, bed and treadmill). Two gentlemen showed up 4 hours late to perform the move. While emptying out the refrigerator one of the gentlemen (Kyle) asked for a shot of vodka. They were both really loud and unprofessional during the move. Upon inspection of our property we discovered that Kyle had snagged a line in my $ 2000 refrigerator while taking the doors off. Also, 2 out of 3 of my leather couches were damaged with a tear as a result of the move.
Kyle, insisted he was «on the clock» after we told him he had broken my refrigerator and that we must continue to pay him to move forward to «fix» what he had already broken.
Consumers beware. I do not believe this is a licensed moving company and if you have valuable items do not allow this company to move them. The items will be damaged and they will NOT accept responsibility for those damages.
