San Diego Mover Reviews
Wow! Andrew was so knowledgeable about everything- unpacking, putting stuff together, finding fixes for lost parts. He was friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!
The loaders were slow bud did a good job. I had to buy rope and shrink wrap as they said it was not on their order.
Heath was a very conscientious worker. He went above and beyond to accommodate.. I would use him again.
Okay, I tweaked my back just by picking up a cat tree and yet the guys at Cozy Bear, who are older than me, loaded our pod to the very last inch. They neatly organized our stuff and stacked it like Tetris pieces within the pod. Michael stayed in constant communication before the move to suggest moving blankets, ratchet straps, etc. which was extremely helpful. We’ve never hired movers to load a pod before, but felt like Cozy Bear really made it an effortless experience (for us—they worked their butts off.) We 100% recommend them for moving services and would recommend them to anyone. Thanks again for the great service!
KFK provided excellent service. Communication before the actual loading of our POD was more than I expected. The contact person was patient, knowledgeable and able to answer oall of my questions .The two gentleman who efficiently loaded our POD did a great job! They arrived prepared, ready to work and work they did. We did not encounter any damage to our household goods. Highly recommend JFK Moving.
Cliff and Thomas were amazing! They were professional, polite, took great care of my home and belongings, and wonderful to work with. Would use their service again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
Tony is amazing! So helpful!!!!
They were on time. They worked very hard and were quick. (tip based on how hard they worked). They took care of the furniture......were done in about 2 hr 45 min. However, I was not please with the attitude of the one in charge. He kept telling me he knew what he was doing as he has been in business for 14 years....I tried to have him make some adjustments in how he was stacking the furniture. We had taken drawers out of the heavy furniture to make it easier, he did not give me a chance to fill the drawers back up. He wanted to put the tool box in first and did not like that I said no. He turned my secretary upside down on top of a desk restricting using that space for boxes. I feel he is a good thoughtful worker, but as this was the 5th pod I had on this move, and I loaded each one, that I know my stuff as to what fit. We hired helpers this time as we can no longer move heavy furniture. He would not place barriers(cardboard, or wood) between sections as again he said he has been doing this for 14 years.....We had to pay someone else to make adjustments to the Pod. Had no time to redo the whole pod....As the other 4 pod that we have had in last few months....there was never any movement or any breakage...I am not sure about this move...The gentleman in charge needs to realize that we as the owners of the belongings may have some important input and that we may be old but we do know what we are doing.......Again both workers were professional and worked real hard. I many not have been doing this for 14 years but I have done many moves in 52 years and never had any breakage or damage as yes I do know what I am doing.... I would use Motivated Military Movers again but I will not be put down again. I am old but not done yet....
Very professional and moved my stuff with care. They also did a great job organizing my furniture into the house right place. I would definitely use them again
Both guys were wonderful and effective.
The 3 guys did such an amazing job loading and were so quick and efficient. Very Hapoy with the service.
They moved everything quickly and carefully
Grant and Dean went above and beyond helping me get moved out! The whole process was fantastic! Highly recommended!
Good job. Hard workers. I would recommend them to any one.

Real Advice from San Diego Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in San Diego. (They’re really nice!)
"Parking is tough in San Diego, so having a loading zone nearby and available will save a lot of time. Also, if you are moving into a space with an elevator, you may need to reserve it."
"We recommend scheduling your move as far in advance as possible. The farther out you can plan your move, the greater the availability you will have in choosing a date and time that is convenient for you. Our busiest times of the year are June-September, Saturdays throughout the year, and the end of each month."
Local San Diego Moving Advice
Because we know what it's like to live in San Diego, we've written need-to-know articles for people just like you who are moving to or from America's greatest city.
Major Neighborhoods in San Diego
San Diego has earned the nickname “America’s Finest City” due to its golden-sand beaches, mild climate, consistent recreational activities, and its many charming neighborhoods located all throughout the area. With the help of a professional mover who knows all the ins and outs of San Diego, you’ll be able to move with no surprises.
Downtown San Diego
When it comes to San Diego, Downtown is all about its convenience and accessibility to other places. You can easily walk to a game at Petco Park, or to one of the many music events at The Rady Shell. (That is, unless it's the week of Comic-Con, then anything goes!) Since there are many one-way streets, downtown can get traffic heavy and has parking issues, so it's best to book professional movers who can swiftly move you into those new high rises on Market Avenue, or the lofts on Broadway.
Pacific Beach
Pacific Beach in San Diego is your ticket to the ultimate beachside lifestyle. You want walkability? Marketplaces? Frisbees? It's all in the DNA of this beachfront haven. If you're moving in the summer, keep in mind PB can get congested; while traffic usually isn’t quite as heavy here, it still gets backed up because of its narrow streets. However, professional movers know how to get you into your Mission Boulevard beachfront condo in a matter of hours.
Hillcrest
Hillcrest, one of the most charming neighborhoods in San Diego, has a vibrant vibe for those seeking a fresh start. (And your move to Hillcrest deserves a grand entrance, just like the iconic Hillcrest sign!) Even beyond its nationally renowned parades, talk to any local and they will tell you that parking is the biggest challenge. Luckily, moving pros are used to working with virtually anything along University, Robinson, and Washington.
North Park
You'll find hip, urban living with a refreshing twist in North Park, San Diego. There are tons of great shops (check out Artelexia!), entertainment staples like the LaFayette Hotel and concerts at The Observatory, and incredible food and vibes at eateries like Park & Rec and City Tacos. It's no secret that North Park has limited parking options, but San Diego movers know exactly where to go to get in and out easily.

Movers Tony, Mike, Kevin, Bryant, and Boss Mike did an outstanding job packing our POD. They showed up on time, were friendly & professional, and worked hard to fit our belongings into the POD. They did an excellent job wrapping mirrors & furniture to protect them from damage. I would hire them again.
The movers were wonderful. They were punctual, professional, and nice. They went out of their way to show me how to tie the knots to secure furniture in the back of my moving truck, and even gave me tips for the drive I was about to make. I would highly recommend them!
They showed up just on time, finished within 2 hours, were very friendly and got everything, including my pullout couch into my second story apartment without damaging anything.
Speed Loaders did an awesome job unloading my Pod! I had an unexpected situation where the key to my padlock no longer worked after the Pod was transported, so I had to call in a locksmith. Even after losing at least 30 minutes due to this challenge, Speed Loaders still finished unloading the Pod on time. I am happy to recommend them to anyone!
Experts at their craft. They were extremely professional, skilled, friendly, and attentive to our specific needs. If you have an upcoming move, Cozy Bear will take care of you.
Very professional and moved my stuff with care. They also did a great job organizing my furniture into the house right place. I would definitely use them again
Our moving team showed up at their scheduled time and worked so efficiently. They got all of our stuff wrapped and carefully loaded into limited space so quickly. I was fully impressed and incredibly grateful.
Mach 1 Moving kept in constant contact with me up to the time they arrived at my location. They were on time, packed our truck with care, and were quick. I would hire them again, absolutely!
Andrew and Jessica were amazing. They were quick, efficient, funny and professional. They made my day by helping any way they could. If I move again, I know who I’ll be calling. Thanks guys, you’re the best!
Mike and Tony were fantastic! They handled all of our possessions with care and professionalism. They were prompt, friendly, and fun to work with. Excellent movers!
These guys are simply the best. They stayed in touch pre move and throughout the actual move. They worked hard and efficiently. They cared! Exceptional!
Wow! Andrew was so knowledgeable about everything- unpacking, putting stuff together, finding fixes for lost parts. He was friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!
