Alex and Daniel were wonderful! They initially went to the wrong location but were prompt about getting to our apartment once we realized they weren't at the right address. I also got a call from the owner to explain the situation and really appreciated the extra touch. Alex and Daniel were courteous and got all of our boxes and furniture into the POD without a problem. Highly recommend!

Oh my gosh, what a great experience I had with 5 Star Moving! First of all, I needed to reschedule for a day later than expected and they accomodated me even though their schedule that day was full. On moving day, Lucas kept me advised as to when the movers would arrive. And oh my gosh, the crew: Kevin and Alberto!!! So professional, kind and hardworking. I was so nervous that all of my stuff wouldn't fit in the pod, and Kevin kept assuring me not to worry. Alberto is a master magician and organizer. My pod was packed from floor to ceiling masterfully and with care. Thank you 5 Star Moving!

The movers did a wonderful job of unloading the PODS container. They did an efficient job of unloading it and carrying it 3 flights of stairs.

they were polite, efficient, professional. my only suggestion is to add that packing supplies, such as tape and extra cardboard, are needed. i would definitely hire them again.

5 Star Moving indeed deserves 5 stars. We hired 2 movers to move items from our 2 bedroom, 1 bath + garage house into a POD. I didn’t imagine that they can fit all the items we had into the POD but they did it! They stacked our items neatly into the POD making use of all the space in there. It was quite impressive and well worth the money. The movers arrived on time, worked hard, was careful with our items and finished in 3 hours. We will certainly use them again. One thing for POD moving, make sure you have some ratchet straps as they will need it to make sure your items stays in place.

Great job 5 Star Moving!

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

After booking, you will receive an email that provides the phone number for 5-Star Moving. We do our very best to call clients within 48 hours. However, during the busy season sometimes it’s best to contact us if you want to go over your move details!

What can a customer expect on moving day if they hire you?

The movers will always call the day of your move if we are running at all behind, if you don’t hear from us this is usually a good sign, it means we are on track so try not to stress!

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

Having items well boxes is the #1 time saver and a sure way to keep your bill as low as possible. If you have 1 container, expect the move to take 2 to 3 hours. If you have 2 containers expect the move to take 4 to 6 hours. Remember - lamps, lamp shades, and small items should be boxed if you want them to arrive safely to your destination. Small items in general can increase the move time by double so having all these items in boxes really does help. Buy plastic wrap, straps and blankets for us.

What types of moves have you handled?

We on an average load of 60+ containers/month. Meaning our movers are extremely versed in the art of PODS loading. We also do truck work and have been in the moving industry for over 10 years. Some of our veteran loaders have been in the industry for 20+ years. Whoever shows up, rest assured you’re in good hands.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

Our favorite part of being a mover is the satisfaction of a job done right. We see every day poorly loaded rental trucks and POD containers, we also see the frustration from those clients who have poor experiences. We love when the client is watching with his/her eyes wide open while we wrap their valued belongings.

What training do you provide your crew members?

All of our team members are carefully trained. They all know and understand the price of furniture and the value. Because of this, they take extra caution when loading your items. They also expect to have the right materials to do their job properly, this is why it’s important for you, the client, to always have the 3 essentials - plastic wrap, blankets and ratchet straps (NOT ROPE!).
