Ahmed’s Moving Express

This company, from the administrative team in the office to the moving crew, were excellent from start to finish. We had a last minute request and they were very accommodating based on schedule and provide monthly «pod» storage for some of our large items. The moving crew was fast, pleasant, efficient! Highly recommend working with them. Well priced for the service that you receive.

I am, sadly, no stranger to moving. International, cross country, local — I have done it all. But it honestly does not get better than Ahmed’s — everything from the quote process, to the packing, loading and unloading, went smoothly and without any stress. The team they sent were friendly, professional, got everything done quickly and efficiently, and with not even one nick of damage. I could not recommend them more highly and in the unfortunate event I move again, at least I am 100% sure of the mover I will use!

we moved from san rafael to novato this past weekend. the ahmed’s crew did an outstanding job! they were on time, very efficient, careful, considerate and professional. it was the best moving experience we have ever had. they also came in under their not to exceed estimate!
our team of four movers were the best (dio, matt d., edwardo and brandon).
thank you:)

Really love this moving company!
Professional, courteous, detail oriented, super nice people. Johnson and Daly referred me, when they were too busy to move my furniture into storage in 2014. Too bad — now I’m an Ahmed’s fan for life! Thank you, Sherry. You and your team really rock!

I hired Ahmed’s Moving Express to move me and my family of 5 across the Bay. It was a big job extracting us from a house I had lived in for 20+ years. They were reliable and professional, quick but careful. Even though it was a bit rainy the day of the move the team managed to protect all our stuff, get it safely to the new house, and even distribute things to their appropriate destination rooms without anything getting wet or damaged. Moving is not cheap, but with the help of this 5-​person team, their two large trucks, and one van we were able to finish moving more stuff than I expected and it was definitely worth it! The specific people who worked on our move were: Dio, Polo, Javier, Christian, Ismael, and Herbert. They speak both English and Spanish and were cheerful, cooperative, attentive to our requests, and good spirited to work with. I recommend them, they make it easy!

All you can ask from a moving company.
Excellent service from beginning to end. From the people who answered the phone to the gentlemen who came out to give us a quote to the actual movers Marcilino, Dio and Robert.
Well priced and extremely professional. Would hire again.

Excellent moving company and customer service! We used them for our cross country move via Wheaton. No damage to any of our goods. highly recommend. They were on time, efficient and really easy to work with!

I got the name of this company from a friend today, phoned at noon, they showed up at two and were gone by three. Granted, this wasn’t a huge job and it was pure luck that they were in the neighborhood and happened to have a hole in their schedule, but it felt like the office staff and movers all worked together to make this happen = friendly, responsive to last-​minute scheduling requirements, accommodating to add-​on requests, and have extremely competitive storage rates. If I could offer six stars…

We recently used Ahmed’s Moving to do a move that we needed completed within just a couple of days. They were able to come out quickly to do the estimate and then completed the move the next day! The movers themselves were friendly, considerate, and professional. On top of all of that, the price was completely reasonable. I highly recommend Ahmed’s Moving Express.

Super easy from start to finish.
This sums up the whole experience of working with Ahmed’s. Our realtor referred us & from first contact Lauren made it a breeze. Herman & Christian were our guys on move day & they were super professional, courteous & didn’t damage a thing. We can’t recommend Ahmed’s enough… it was the best moving experience we have ever had & the best bit was that we didn’t feel ‘sharked’ by them one bit.
Ps the overall cost was excellent too

Fantastic service!
The three-​man team assigned to our move showed up on time and got to work. Javier, Matt, and Herber were calm, friendly, and professional throughout the day, despite the backbreaking work of hauling boxes and furniture. Their positivity blew our minds, always asking with a smile what we wanted.
On every detail, our bases were covered. They showed excellent care for our belongings and the buildings, and when we ran out of boxes, they had boxes. When we needed a big hulking furniture piece hauled away from our new home, they happily hauled it up 20 stairs and took it to be recycled for a very small fee.
We also have to mention the excellent support we received from Sherry and Lauren in the office. They were super helpful and very responsive to our every question and concern.
Moving can be an overwhelming experience. Hiring the professional team at Ahmed Movers made our move far more smooth and efficient than we had expected. We still can’t believe how well it went.

For the fourth time in less than a year, I’ve hired Ahmed and his crew to move household furniture and asst. items for me and my family. This time, I had a 20′ shipping container filled with stuff from my home overseas. I thought it would take all day but Ahmed’s men did it in 3 hours! There was a team of six and everything went perfectly. My home is up three flights of stairs and these guys were terrific. So professional and gentlemen, too. Polite, careful and very willing. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that Ahmed and his crew are THE BEST movers in Marin. I endorse hiring them 100% when you need to move anything at all. Truly terrific!

Ahmed’s moving is everything you want in a business– a staff who genuinely cares about your move and an owner who believes in the people he hires, knowing they will provide excellent service. I misplaced my computer during the move and while they were confident it was missing due to me, they were extremely caring and willing to do anything to remedy the situation. Efficient, trustworthy and a mover that will go the lengths for customer satisfaction. Thank you!

What can I say… except first, this is a week overdue. I should have written this review as soon as Ahmed and his team left our new home. What a fantastic experience, one I thought I would dread completely. But Ahmed, Marcelino, Luis and Ali were so professional, competent, strong and funny that they made what I thought would be a most stressful day, enjoyable. As others have said, they go above and beyond the call of duty, and exceeded our expectations. I have a number of realtor friends who will be happy to know about this recommendation, and while I don’t look forward to our next move, Ahmed’s will be the one we will call. We feel as though we’ve made new friends. Thank you!!!

We felt at ease with a thorough walk-​through and assessment of what needed to be moved and what it would take. With a house of a few year’s accumulation as well as the hot-​tub, the crew was fast and thorough. We had packed most of our things, but where we did not, they did not hesitate to just get it done. The banter throughout the day kept all of us humored and motivated… as light of an affair as moving could be. Hopefully we will not have to move anytime soon, but if we do… we know who to call. Highly recommended.

There aren’t enough adjectives to describe how FANTASTIC this company is.
We have had endless cross country and local moves living in a military family and I’ve never given much thought to moving companies as they’ve all blurred together with the same negative attributes in common. I chose to use Ahmed’s after reading all the positive Unilocal Reviews– but cautiously didn’t get my hopes as I’ve come to have pretty low expectations… but they were not only surpassed… but BLOWN AWAY!
I’ll say it again: THEY ARE FANTASTIC! And then some!
Starting from the very 1^st call: they don’t charge ANY minimum– only what you NEED– wonderful customer service, answered all my questions, patient, courteous, friendly and offered a lot of extra information that I hadn’t even thought of. The entire experience from start to finish was EXCELLENT and everyone involved was just SUPER helpful and hardworking. **The best part were the two movers: HERMAN and DIO** (AKA: The «DREAM» Team) They treated me and all my belongings with extra special care and came fully prepared and even 5 mins early! They were super focused, quick, hard working and a delight to be around. When I told them that I had intended to bring my favorite table to the junk yard after it had been damaged beyond repair– they asked if they could take a look at it… next thing I know, it’s being loaded into the truck– FIXED! Good as new! Free of charge! People just don’t do nice things like that anymore — but they do– and in abundance. I’ll never use or recommend any other moving company.
And for the 1^st time in my life — I’m actually looking FORWARD to my next move! ;)

I honestly can not say enough wonderful things about this company! We hired them to move us from San Anselmo to San Rafael. We lived in a house that the top floor was up 35 stairs! I arranged most of it through email which was very helpful and they had the dates I needed etc. (Oddly enough, there was another moving company that I spoke with that gave me an estimate, complained about my stairs AND said they do not work weekends!) I was DELIGHTED when Ahmed’s guy came and gave me an estimate and did not complain about my stairs or needing a weekend move!
So, moving day. The guys showed up, saying «no problem» and three hours later my three story house was EMPTY! These guys ROCKED!!! They took an hour lunch, and brought the three trucks to my new home. I had labeled the heck out of all the furniture, but the lead guy said «show me around and what is what» and I did. He remembered EVERYTHING and ran the crew very smoothly. BUT the BEST was, they said «we see you are on hardwood floors (other house was almost all carpet) do you have pads for under the furniture so your floors are protected?» OMG, I had some! AND they put them ALL on for me. That was a huge showing of extra care that just blew my mind. Three hours later, trucks emptied, and job done.
AND they came back when I called them after we emptied boxes and took them away!
I was blown away at how kind they all were, the level of professionalism AND they did not charge an arm and a leg. I will use them if I ever move again and I HIGHLY recommend this company!

(IF ONLY THERE WERE A ZERO RATING!)
I find it very «interesting» that my totally NEGATIVE review, which was very comprehensive and which was posted Monday September 22^nd, 2014, rebuffed by the owner of the business, to which there was a reply posted y me with links to hundreds of photographs showing various forms of damage caused by the indifference and disregard for me and the sanctity of my personal property by the goons employed by Ahmed’s Moving Express, with many items being very expensive professional audio and photographic equipment, and some items being irreplaceable, thus «priceless,» is NOT including in the postings of the «glowing» (but probably fake) positive reviews. I have heard of situations in which an entity receiving a less-​than-​favorable review can have it removed from the Unilocal!Website. Seemingly it’s true. The universal assumption that you can «buy anything» with enough money, including having something (or someone) «disappear,» is, without doubt, true.

These people are amazing! And that is an understatement. I have used movers three times previously, and Ahmed’s went above and beyond the call of duty.
Major Pluses:
–Ease of communication in setting up date with phone attendant
–Kindness of all those involved, especially movers
–Quick and efficient move-​out and in
–Disassembled and reassembled furniture without hesitancy
–Everything was placed in intended rooms due to labeling of boxes
–Everything handled with the utmost care; nothing broken
I will never use another mover again and HIGHLY recommend them. Don’t even think about hiring someone else, especially just because they are cheaper. Ahmed’s earns every bit of the price they charge and then some!

I can’t say enough great things about Ahmed’s Moving Express.
My husband and I made the perhaps unwise decision to pack and move from one house to another in less than 2 weeks. There was no way we could do this on our own, so we hired a packing/​organizing team to lead the charge. The project manager highly recommended Ahmed’s Moving Express.
Ahmed himself (a fascinating man with a very compelling back-​story, btw) came to our home to assess the work, and his office provided a very fair estimate a couple days later. They were able to work with our very quick timeline, and provided us with a team of 5 wonderful movers on the big day. These guys were professional, courteous and clearly experienced. They were totally undaunted by the 40 steps leading up to our third floor flat, the giant sectional in the living room, and the large artwork.
The day was long and the job was arduous — these guys were pros about it all. Thank you, Ahmed!
