I wish I had read some of the other reviews for this terrible moving company before , I would have stayed away from them. I was moving from bay area to seattle around 4th july and they sold me the move. Scott sweet talked me into this. God knows how many times I had to call them to get someone to pickup my stuff. They kept changing the pickup dates saying they are busy. Why do they have to sell the moves when they don't have capacity to handle it ? Anyway finally after multiple days 2 kids showed up at 11.30 pm with a big budget truck. Later someone named sam showed up who supposedly is their best driver. They started loading the stuff and I could see they they had no experience whatsoever of handling cargo or loading. They even dropped my tv and won't even admit it even though it happened in front of me. They managed to finished loading at 2.30 am somehow. Now comes the fun part. After loading they doubled the estimate. My load was around 400cf and they were charging me for 800cf. Sam kept arguing that my stuff is worth 800cf which was not possible as I had staged the stuff and measured it already. Then he called Jim who manages the moves. Another terribly rude guy. He started threatening me and said either pay for 800cf or get the stuff off the truck. Dealing with this at 3 am when same day your travel is planned is not fun.

I ended up getting my stuff off their truck with the help of friend and neighbor. Now I feel lucky reading other reviews. I rented 750cf capacity truck myslf and after loading all my stuff still had half the truck empty.

They won't refund my deposit. I am searching for my options to take legal action against them as they are running a fraudulent business. I don't think the two kids who showed up with truck were in legal age to drive a truck. Also which moving company shows up during midnight to pickup stuff.

I don't want any other customer to go through what I have gone through.

Stay away from them.

If I could give no stars, I would. Be careful about booking with them! James Horky is their Assistant Manager of Operations. He will hang up on you, belittle you, tell you he doesn’t have time for you because he is too busy and not provide information. It’s as if your items are being held, hostage. I was promised a date and time to get my belongings, and he never had the courtesy to call and say it wouldn’t be there. He blatantly lied, I called the day before to confirm my things would be there the next day and he said yea they would. When I called the day it was supposed to come; he said the truck never left the warehouse. At this point, I will be honest – I was not friendly at all.

He complains his job is too busy and too much and he doesn’t have time to help you. I had a quote from another company, but after much persuasion went with Pac Coast Moving. When they picked up on moving day, the cost was double the quote (we had two other quotes should have gone with them), and they didn’t stack the truck up so that it took up more space. The only person that has been kind and helpful was Chris, the guy who booked my move. He has been a great support. I was without my furniture or a date for three days. And I get hung up on every time I call as James, who by the is the ONLY one answering the phone. Such a scam. The owner needs to reach out to me. The only reason I went with the company was a promised date and Chris’s professionalism. I have been let down since then. I have reported them to the Better Business Bureau, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), American Moving & Storage Association (AMSA), and my attorney.

When our stuff did show up they held it for ransom until the total was paid and showed up late at night so my family and I had to unload the truck. We have pictures and videos to prove this all!

Over $6000 in damages and lost items. They offered us $390. They will avoid responding to you for weeks. We paid for white glove service and only 1 mover came to our house so I had to help until 01:00 AM. Sam Calixte is a horrible manager in the Bay Area, RUN! Jim Horky will seem great at first and then blow you off if you sign a deal. They didn’t perform an inventory at time of pickup and attempted to charge me 17k for the move that was quoted at 5.5k citing that we had way more stuff than they estimated. The weight was 2000 pounds LESS than the estimate. They are a shameful company, do not trust Whitney Whitaker as she will not respond to you because she doesn’t know anything about her job. RUN!!!! F rating by the BBB! Do not trust their website reviews as they delete all the bad ones. This business needs to be shut down.

I booked a move with this company April 2020 and my items, well some of them were delivered the weekend before Mother’s Day 2020. I was quoted $1500 for the move and ended up paying $2300 for my items to be delivered to a parking lot because the company wanted to charge about another $500 for movers to take my items from the truck into my apartment. Most of my claim was denied and the company only agreed to pay me $69 for the missing items and denied damage. I have yet to receive any form of payment and no response from the letter that they demanded be notarized and returned. BE WARNED! STAY AWAY!

We were “misquoted” and ended up having to pay an extra $2000 upon arrival- even after going through inventory multiple times and adding extra space to be on the safe side.

We were told our stuff would not be taken to a warehouse and would be taken directly to our location- it ended up taking them weeks upon weeks to deliver our stuff.. zero to no communication from the company. When we did get communication it was after I called, emailed, text and even threatened with authority. (I was convinced we had been robbed at this point)

Staff was incredibly rude- one staff member actually got into a verbal altercation with my fiancé- incredibly inappropriate and unprofessional. When our stuff did come- they only delivered half!! “No idea where the rest of it was” - was the drivers response, he had me call the company, and he left. It took them 43 days to deliver all of our stuff.

After going through our things, we figured out that our stuff had been rummaged through and we had multiple things stolen. We had two pair of limited edition Lebron James shoes stolen out of one of our suitcases. (Never worn, collectors items) I say stolen because they were packed in boxes in a suitcase- the suitcase arrived completely empty. This means someone went through our stuff and took what they wanted! Such a disgusting act. I have yet to get a response from the company on the stolen items.

The estimate was a half what it actually cost but the worse after my truck was packed the movers said they have an issue with theft! When I got my boxes they were opened and they stole so many items and what wasn't stolen they unwrapped and left to break. They actually left their box cutters in 2 boxes. Company took no responsibility and offered me $50 for a $4,000 claim. They bullied me into taking down my reviews and complaints claiming they would not look at my claim until I did. They gave me no inventory didn't put anything back together is by far the absolute worse moving company I have ever used! I would not let them move my trash to the curb! I hope I can save other unsuspecting consumers from this scamming, thieving company.

Do not use this company under any circumstances. They will lie to you, overcharge you and rip you off not communicate and will keep you hanging, not keep their word and on top of that some of your belongings will be damaged and or missing.

Once they have your money they are done with you. Totally unprofessional. Won't wear masks. Save yourself the stress and sleepless nights, don't get taken advantage by them and get a POD!

Besides the amount they estimate they pad the estimate to make it look like you have more cubic feet.

What you put out you get back and I would imagine their lives are reflecting the lies and total lack of respect they give to their customers.
