"Just finished the move this morning. Went from the SF Peninsula to Reno. Mark, the owner, takes care of the customer directly. He's prompt, courteous, and collaborative. His team took great care with my belongings - no breakage or scratching of items, walls, floors. They wasted no time but always slowed down to ask me questions and to treat my items with care. When we unloaded, Mark helped me to get two of my TVs mounted! Most of all, Mark's service is a great value - I'd recommend him for a house move, and I would use him again!"

"Miguel and Jesus did an incredibly efficient job of moving me into my studio apartment. They were polite and gentle with my belongings. Sal asked all the right questions when I scheduled the move, so they were prepared with extra boxes and appropriate packaging. The only thing I noticed was some of my bed frame screws were quite loose, but besides that they were perfect! Would definitely hire them again."

"I submitted a request to Angie s List as I was getting ready to sell our house. I was looking for a pool company to make some repairs to our pool. When I spoke to the representative from Angie s List, it was mentioned that we were moving out of state. I was told that Angie s List could assist with that as well. In response to that conversation, I received a call from Erik with Nationwide Van Lines. He represented himself as an employee of an A-Plus company that has been in business for 25-plus years. I asked Erik to give me a quote for a full-service, out-of-state move. I was very happy with the quoted price and was encouraged by Erik to go forward with a Risk Free Deposit of $1,700.00. At the time, I was only able to pay $500.00. In hindsight, I consider that a blessing! Erik emailed me the moving quote and asked that I electronically sign it at my convenience and send it back. He had already taken payment of $500.00 for a Risk Free deposit. For the record, I never did electronically sign the moving estimate. As I was contacted through Angie s List, it didn t even cross my mind that they could be scammers! About a week later, I was contacted by Brandon. He advised me that Erik had been terminated and Brandon was my new contact person. Never was it mentioned by Erik or Brandon that there was a 72-hour cancellation window. This shouldn t matter, however, as I did not electronically sign the moving estimate! As the move was approaching, I decided to call and pay the balance of my deposit. After a gut feeling, I decided to do a little more research before paying my balance. When I googled Nationwide Van Lines, I noticed a different phone number and address. I decided to call the 800 number that came up with my Google search. They answered as Nationwide Van Lines. I advised them I had an upcoming move and that I would like to work out a few details with them. When the customer service representative couldn t find my info, she advised me that I had been scammed. The real Nationwide Van Lines receives calls almost daily with horror stories of people who have been scammed by the company Nationwide Movers. The representative advised me that Nationwide Movers has been using the reputable name of Nationwide Van Lines to try and get business. They are known for lowballing the estimate to get the business, and then they greatly increase the price and use a third-party mover to complete the work. Sometimes, even holding your stuff hostage. She asked that I file a complaint with the Department of Transportation, which I did. The DOT number is for a company called EZ Moving Group DBA Nationwide Movers."

FAQs for moving projects in Oakland, CA
The financial equation depends largely on your furniture's quality and value. For inexpensive or heavily used items, purchasing replacements locally often costs less than paying shipping fees ranging from $800 to $3,000.
However, high-quality, custom, or sentimental pieces often justify shipping expenses. Compare your furniture's replacement value against shipping quotes to make an informed decision. Also consider environmental factors—reusing existing furniture creates less waste than buying new items.
Planning ahead for furniture shipping helps secure better rates and preferred scheduling. Book your shipping service several weeks before your desired delivery date to ensure availability and avoid rush charges.
Advance booking also provides time to arrange any special handling requirements, obtain appropriate insurance coverage, and prepare your furniture properly for transport. This foresight results in both lower costs and a smoother shipping experience.
For valuable furniture, standard carrier liability often provides insufficient protection. Consider full-value coverage that addresses actual replacement costs rather than basic weight-based compensation. Document your furniture's condition thoroughly with photographs before shipping, capturing any existing flaws or damage.
Review insurance policies carefully for exclusions related to improper packing or pre-existing conditions. Quality coverage provides peace of mind when shipping irreplaceable or high-value furniture pieces.
Proper preparation significantly reduces shipping damage risks. Begin by cleaning all furniture thoroughly and removing any detachable components like shelves, drawers, and hardware—store these items separately in labeled containers.
Protect wooden surfaces with appropriate protective materials and wrap furniture completely with moving blankets or bubble wrap, securing with stretch wrap rather than tape directly on surfaces. Document each piece's condition with detailed photographs before shipping as a reference for potential claims.
Document any damage immediately upon delivery, before signing acceptance paperwork. Take clear photographs showing the specific damage and note all issues on the delivery receipt, ensuring the delivery person acknowledges these notations. Contact the shipping company promptly to report the damage and begin the claims process according to their specific procedures. Retain all packaging materials until your claim is resolved, as these may be needed for inspection. Following the carrier's exact claim procedures improves your chances for a satisfactory resolution.
