Picked up on time. Great packing of items. Extra items added were reasonably priced. Delivery went smoothly. Only one item had some minor damage. I would recommend this company.

Reviewing: Out Of The Box Moving Solutions
I am impressed by the service provided by Out Of the Box Moving solutions. They picked up my items on time and delivered the item earlier than I expected. This helped me a lot to settle down in my new apartment. The people who picked up and delivered the items were very professional, polite, and fast. I would strongly recommend OOB Moving solutions as I was scammed by a couple of other movers before I found OOB Moving.

Richard and his partner at RD Moving were absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend them because they are very professional, reliable, efficient, and STRONG. They had great problem solving skills and good communication throughout. They also took great care of my belongings and paid close attention to detail while wrapping/unwrapping items as well as building/unbuilding furniture. They worked really well together as a team and made this moving process a breeze. Thank you RD Moving!

California Moving Services Are a Click Away
Every move is different. Whether it’s a home, office, or just a few items of heavy furniture, iMoving provides a whole menu of must-have services for moving in and out of California:
Long Distance Moving
If you're looking for the best long distance moving company in California, iMoving can help. With over 1,000 vetted and verified options, we let you pick and choose the right team for your needs.
It can be tough to sort through all the movers out there, and California is a big place. That's why we only allow trustable carriers to join our network. If they aren't up to our standards, they don't make it into our marketplace. And if they're good enough to be in the iMoving network, we always check in to make sure they're staying honest.
Local Moving
If you're moving within 100 miles and keeping it within the same state, don't worry - iMoving has just the team of local movers for the job. Local moving companies in California can be hard to find on short notice, and it can be a tough search if you don't want to deal with any sketchy operators.
Local movers charge per hour, and per mover. This can make collecting quotes a bit of a pain. How mcuh stuff are you moving? How many miles does it have to travel? How bad's the traffic? We'll do the math. All you have to do is pick the mover that you like the most.
Packing Services
Packing is a pain. Between shopping around for boxes, wrapping and loading those boxes, and hoping those t-shirts are enough to keep your fine china safe, it's usually just easier to let the pros take care of it.
But, shopping for packing services in California isn't so easy. You'll need to sift through tons of options, and it can be hard to tell who's legit, and who's a scam. That's why iMoving makes it easy to find packers you can count on. We make sure our packing teams are prepped and ready with the know-how, experience, and quality materials they need to keep your stuff safe.
Storage Services
You may know the square feet of your new place, but do you know how many of those square feet are usable? If you've overestimated your space (or underestimated the amount of stuff you have), you can book secure storage in California with iMoving.
We make sure our storage providers are held to the same standards as our movers. And what's more, we made sure they offer awesome rates and on-site staff to keep your items under a watchful eye. Whether you need it for a few weeks or you need it for a month, our storage services can keep a roof over the excess.
Commercial Moving
You're running a business, and you need to get it moved quick. At iMoving, we've been there before. And we can get you relocated with minimal downtime and disruption.
The best commercial moving companies in California should be handpicked for whatever business you're operating, whether it's a mom and pop shop or a global HQ. That's why we give you a range of options so you can compare quotes from the best of the best.

FAQ
A California move can cost you anywhere from $330 to $9200 and beyond. It all comes down to how much you’re moving, and how far you’re traveling.
Keep in mind, local movers charge per mover, per hour (with about 2 movers per room), and long distance movers charge by weight (or volume) and miles.
We pride ourselves on our broad range of services, and that includes packing and unpacking.
When you search for a California mover with iMoving, you’re getting access to over 1000 verified movers, and all the bubble wrap and boxes you’ll ever need.
If you’re looking for premium movers, we’ve got them. iMoving has a huge network of moving specialists who can handle anything from your motorcycle to your Monet. Use our marketplace and search for premium moving specialists to get that extra TLC.
All movers are legally required to offer a minimum level of insurance coverage. Unfortunately, this amounts to about $0.60 per pound of items lost, damaged, or destroyed. Did your 4 pound Macbook get broken in transit? You're only gonna get $2.40.
Fortunately, iMoving can connect you with movers who offer full value protection. This means if something gets damaged or broken, you'll be reimbursed the actual price.
Movers need to have an official Department of Transportation (DOT) number, which you should be able to find on their website. If a moving company handles long distance moves that cross state lines, they'll also need a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) number. Don't forget to check reviews and look for any insurance info they may feature on their website.
