If I could give ZERO stars I would. I know it’s in the description. But the owner or whoever it is responds to messages with “90/hr includes two guys” you think it’s a deal because EVERY OTHER COMPANY tells you their prices and quotes up front including minimums and travel fees. They do not it’s 90/hr but a 4 hr. minimum and $100 in gas. So you need them for 2.5 hours it’s almost $500. Literally find any other movers - purposely mislead people. Gross. DO NOT BOOK THEM. PAY ATTENTION TO EVERY OTHER NEGATIVE REVIEW ON HERE!!!

In a way it was my fault because I did not read the ad correctly. They have a four hour minimum even though I said in my description that they were only gonna be moving a few items. They also charged me $100 for a gas fee that they said they needed to charge, even though they didn’t use any gas because they were just moving a few items into the pod in front of my house. They were good guys and they did a good job. But for an hour and a half worth of work, it was not worth it.

The guys were great. Very prompt to respond and just what we needed — extra hands to help in a last minute pinch.

Thumbtack customerMay 2026

I’d give 0 stars if I could. Told the guy I needed a couch moved and quoted $95 hourly, never told about 4 hour minimum. When I was told I needed to pay $365 he said there was a 4-hour minimum on their profile. Scam.

Amazing service! My daughter moved into her apartment yesterday, and I had to book movers at the last minute because the original help that we had planned didn’t end up working out. The day before she was scheduled to move, I put this request on Thumbtack and was immediately contacted by this company! They were absolutely phenomenal, and did a great job getting her moved even before the estimated timeframe ended. They also assembled her new couch which was truly a lifesaver. I highly recommend this company as the movers are extremely professional, friendly, and efficient!

Was not upfront about fees. Since I was new to this app as well I did not know the ins and outs of the app and it's information. Contacted me via text and said it would be 120/hr. I provided pick up address and drop off location. Did not once refer me to website where fees were listed or double check that I understood to look at website to verify prices. Was late with the truck which is very small by the way. Job took about a 1 hour and 20 minutes and was still charged the 3 hour minimum.

DO NOT HIRE! TERRIBLE SERVICE! Fernando was the most unprofessional vendor I’ve ever had the chance of experiencing on Thumbtack and in general. We double confirmed a scheduled move for 10AM on Wednesday. Wednesday morning comes and I hear no response from Fernando. I have to send two messages to confirm he can still meet at 10AM. He confirms with me on thumbtack. The last minute at 9:55AM he texts me saying he will have to reschedule for 11AM as he is busy with 3 other jobs. I wait till 11AM and still no sign of Fernando. I reach out to him and he tells me he is 20 minutes away on his way back from Coronado. I wait till 11;46AM and he still has not arrived. I texted him again and he told me they had stopped for drinks at a gas station and they will now arrive at 12pm. Avoid this joke of a company and find yourself a professional mover. This guy is just a joke to laugh at. I have attached documentation that proves the lousy and unreliable service I experienced from SD Bay Movers.

They can set an alarm to start. Spoke with someone over a week ago to confirm a 10am start time. We confirmed on Sunday and again last night. 10am no one showed. I tried to call and text to see if they got lost but their phone was going straight to voicemail. Nearly 4 hours later I get a text saying “on our way. Last nights job was a disaster and woke up late”. My wife is 7 months pregnant which I told them. They left us in a really difficult position and had to hire another company last minute. Don’t trust these people to show up anywhere near the expected start time.

I had four pieces of furniture I needed moved from San Clemente to Carlsbad. These guys were easy to work with and really went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with the placement of the furniture. I would use them again for any future moving needs.

These guys saved the day! I was in the middle of moving huge heavy furniture into my salon when the movers I had canceled on me last minute & left me stranded in La Mesa. I reached out to fastest movers & they were there within 30 minutes to save the day! Not only did they rescue me, they did an amazing job moving everything, setting it up, they even helped me with a small build that was unfinished to make sure the could move the final piece in. I highly recommend and will be using them for all future moves!
