My Move: I’ve done a local move from Saratoga to San Jose from 2-bedroom apartment (2-nd floor) to 3 stories single-family house. All boxes I’ve packed and moved myself, so only furniture had been left for moving company.
Score: 5-stars++. Excellent. Highly recommended. I communicated with Gordon Munson over the phone and email. He “architected” the entire move and helped me with couple of “money saving” advises (because it was my first move). Professional communication. Excellent responsiveness. The moving team: Alex (fluent with both Russian and Romanian) and Armando. The team arrived 5 minute before the scheduled time. Assessed the actual volume in 5 min and accomplished the entire move in 5 hours with zero interference from my side. Both guys worked as “wrapping-packing-moving-unwrapping” machines! Extremely impressive. I was really happy that I decided to hire them instead of doing this move myself (what I actually considered after reading all negativities about moving companies in this and couple of other forums). Bottom line: I would recommend the team of Gordon, Alex and Armando to anyone!
Comments: a) Don’t save on wrapping the furniture even if you move around the corner. Let the team to wrap everything in blankets and fix it with scotch tape, - walls in your new place may say “thank you” for that. b) In my opinion it is physically impossible for 2 movers to pack furniture only in 2-bed rooms apartment in 2 hours. 3 hours for packing should be used for estimation. c) Ask Gordon about pricelist for expenses you may have along the way (like scotch tape or boxes). It is good to know about them when you are budgeting your move.
