Affordable Moving
"Cheap movers" give you a low estimate, then double it on moving day. We give you a fixed price that includes everything. Studios from $399. That's what you pay.
The Real Cost of "Cheap"
The moving industry runs on bait-and-switch. Here's how the "affordable" movers actually work.
They quote $400 for a 1-bedroom. Sounds great. But it's "estimated at 3 hours" with a 2-man crew at $65/hr each. Your actual move takes 6 hours. Final bill: $780.
Stairs? Extra. Long carry from the truck? Extra. Packing materials? Extra. Fuel surcharge? Extra. That $400 estimate was the starting point, not the final price.
Your TV gets cracked. They deny it. You have no proof. Filing a claim gets you $0.60 per pound — $18 for a $1,200 TV. The "cheap" move just got very expensive.
Many Craigslist movers aren't licensed. No license means no insurance, no accountability, and zero recourse. If they damage something or disappear with your stuff, you're on your own.

Most San Francisco movers charge $65–$150/hr per mover, with a typical crew rate of ~$130/hr. A local move can range from $400 to $2,000+ depending on apartment size. The problem? Hourly billing incentivizes slow work — and surprise charges for stairs and packing materials are common.

FAQ
Studios from $399, 1-bedrooms from $499. Fixed price — that's what you pay. No hourly billing that magically doubles, no "stair fees," no "long carry charges." The quote you approve is the final bill. That's what makes us affordable: no surprises.
Hourly movers quote low to get the job, then work slowly. A "2-hour estimate" turns into 5 hours. A "$400 quote" becomes $900. Our prices include everything upfront — stairs, parking, wrapping materials, documentation. What you see is what you pay.
Everything. Moving blankets, shrink wrap, floor protection, disassembly/reassembly of basic furniture, loading, driving, unloading, and full video documentation. The only add-on is professional packing if you want us to box everything up too.
$50 to reserve your date. Fully refundable if you cancel. No questions asked.
Usually, yes — that's the trade-off most people discover too late. We're not the cheapest possible option. We're the best value: fixed price so you know the real cost, documented moves so nothing gets denied, and actual protection on every item. Cheap movers cost more when you factor in the broken TV they won't pay for.
Yes. CAL-T 203190, $1M general liability, $25K cargo insurance. Many "cheap movers" on Craigslist aren't licensed at all — which means zero recourse if something goes wrong.
Body cameras on the crew. Every item documented before, during, and after. If anything arrives damaged or missing, there's footage. This is standard on every move — not an upsell.
