This moving crew was fantastic. They were organized, timely, professional, efficient, hard-working and friendly. They got the job done in a way that made me feel secure about my belongings. I have had to move nine times during my military career and this crew really stands out. Thank you.

What a GREAT DAY! All of the stuff that we accumulated in the past 20 years finally arrived in our new home safely and in one piece.many pieces. All of these come with lots of great memories. They are all part of our lives. We truly appreciate your crew for taking care of them. They were very professional and even made me feel like I should work with them.

Their team work made me miss my Time in the Marines. They did not only completed their job very well, but they treated our stuff as their own. And that for us is very special and an AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE. We have moved 10 different times and in and out of the count throughout my 20 years of military service. But your crew is the best I have seen out of the United States.

They endured our 4-story home with smile in their faces. I wish your company would give them a hefty pay increase they truly and absolutely deserve. They are the team that all other movers should emulate. THIS IS SUCH A BLESSED DAY! With great appreciation and respect to you and the team, Markwilson Viloria

My wife and I have been pleased with the movers who worked diligently to move the boxes and furniture from our three-story home. Each worker was hardworking, professional, and friendly. When my wallet had been accidently packed, the warehouse crew worked to find it quickly.

Terrible. Held my stuff for 2 weeks and didn't even bother to contact me. Called during business hours and eas on hold for 2 hours being #1 caller in line. Had to call back on Monday and another 45 min wait being #1 in line.

I used Republic Moving and Storage when I moved from the Bay area to San Diego. There was so much going on that moving just felt like the last thing I could deal with. Fortunately for me, Republic Moving and Storage took care of everything. They showed up on time, packed up everything!, and delivered to my new house. All I had to do was board the plane! So grateful to have used them to reduce the stress of moving.

I've had my household goods in the republic moving and storage unit for over a year and a half. All the staff were extremely helpful and professional. They allowed for an easy and smooth process to ship my goods to my new home. Miss Andria kept me very well updated as to the status of not only my stored items, but every step of the transition as well. Top notch customer service. I'm very pleased with my entire experience at republic moving and storage. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

We have used Republic Moving and Storage several times now and I am so glad that we have. I have referred several family and friends to them and they have done a great job. My sister used them when she moved across the country and she was able to know that everything was being taken care of smoothly. I have reached out to get quotes for moving pieces of small moves (pieces of furniture to my parents out of state) and received prompt support with competitive rates. Glad to have a company to rely on when you need it!

The crew and driver were professional and friendly, paying attention to detail and extra careful with moving things without damaging walls, floors etc Upon arrival to our destination, the crew prepped the house very carefully to avoid damage in the wood floor and to protect the carpeted areas. Very thorough. We had some items missing but our driver took an additional hour after everything was in ( except the 3 missing items) to go through an extensive check list The office in Chula Vista coordinated with him a search for the missing items and they were located and shipped via fedex within 3 days! Considering the long 10 day haul from California to North Carolina, we feel that the work done by all, starting with our excellent local agent that booked us, all the way to the very experienced and thorough driver Randy Smith, and the local crews was beyond satisfactory. They all made our relocation experience smooth and pleasant and we sincerely thank everyone in this company for this!

So after a week of waiting to hear back, I'm getting back only $260 for more than $500 of losses, and even more in damages to my furniture. The email stated they asked the moving crew if they knew anything about my watch that was stolen or the yeti cups that they packed and mysteriously vanished as well. Of course the crew isn't going to admit to stealing my watch or the yeti cups they packed up I mean the little bit of return is decent, but I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone, ever. I pray when we have to move again they aren't assigned to us through the military.

It was a long distance move from San Diego to Vancouver, Canada. I moved several times in my life and that was my worst experience ever. The total weight of my shipment was overestimated by a factor of almost two. So even though they charged me for the actual weight, the rebate was substantially lower than if the estimate was correct. The loading crew was in such a hurry that they were bumping in the walls and the furniture when loading boxes so when they left I had to do touch-up paint jobs in several places on the walls and doors - we just sold the house in move-in condition.

That added more stress because we had to clean and vacate the house the same day. Additionally, I was assured my shipment would not be re-packed, but it was, and as a result some boxes went missing and also the furniture suffered some minor damage. I contacted the move coordinator immediately but was advised just to file the insurance claim. I would never use them again.

Outsource and don't tell you. No communication and company they gave contract too has been a nightmare to deal with. Still have our furniture and cannot get them or Republic to respond. Do not use!

Thief works there. They were asigned as our military move as packer. Packers were friendly but sadly stole my Louis Vuitton purse. It was missing at the time of packing, packer said it could be packed. We tried to unpack the boxes around could not find. The packer said " well it should be in some of the boxes. If not you can claim " WTF When we got to the destination and unpacked of course the purse was not in a any of boxes. Any we found some more stuffs stuffs are missing. Not reliable company.

We had a great experience. They subcontracted to Love Joy which I'd read about in the reviews and was a little concerned about. But the crew was great and packed the whole house in much less time than we'd expected. The next day they arrived exactly on time to unpack and asked lots of questions about placement of furniture and boxes. We were dreading the move but having them pack the house and move it all and the fact it all went so smoothly was a huge relief. Really happy we went with Republic.

I struggled with what to rate this review. Some of my experience was good and some was bad and I mean really bad. There are too many details to put in everything. I will start with the good. Our sales person Peter M. came out to give a quote and was very professional and explained everything in detail. He responded to all my emails and calls in a timely manner.

Before I get into the negatives of my review I would like to say that Jose, Anthony and Eduardo were awesome. They showed up on time and were super friendly and easy to deal with. If I was moving locally I would request to have them again. I have nothing negative to say they were absolutely awesome. Now for the not so good. At 6pm the night before the driver with North American still had not contacted me about what time he would be there to pick up.

I called and he said our load had been cancelled and our moving coordinator was supposed to take care of it. At 6pm we couldn't get ahold of anyone. Without going into all of the details either our moving coordinator or North American dropped the ball. Overall, the customer service was not good from the coordinator. I finally asked to have a manger involved.

I spoke with Gary B. and he was always nice and at least tried to help. I am sure he was sick of my constant emails but after the poor communication with the move date and not getting any answers I just wanted to ensure we received our stuff. He kept me informed what he was doing to assist and what was happening with our stuff. Our stuff was a few weeks late.

The worst part was we were missing a ton of things. The driver stated that she had taken everything that was put in storage and had us sign off on what we did receive. While trying to file claims with North American they basically stated we cant prove it was missing and put the blame back on Republic. I have no idea if it was misplaced, stolen or sent on another shipment at this point. I feel like I would have had a much more positive experience had the driver picked up our stuff as scheduled.

Israel, Blas and Gustabo saved the day! Very professional and very reliable movers! Thank you for saving the day after a terrible encounter with the first movers that were sent my way, thank you for quickly responding to my request to replace the first team that showed up my house who were very rude and so immature. Israel, Blas and Gustabo are the BEST!

We have worked with Republic Moving & Storage on hundreds of different shipments and it has never failed that each time we speak with them, they are kind, friendly, and on top of things. They are proactive in making sure each job they perform is top notch. We work with several different agents worldwide and they are one favorites, if not our favorite agents to work with.

We highly recommend this company for anyone needing assistance with moving in California. If I were personally moving in California I wouldn't use anyone but Republic Moving & Storage. Thank you for all you do for us!

Excellent! Republic Moving did a great job from the get-go, very prompt and professional from the on-site estimate to delivery to my destination today. I've moved at least 12 times all over US, Canada, and Europe. I would rate them a tie for #1 from my past experiences. They were on time (to the minute) for my move from California. Quick, efficient, and careful packing/moving my furniture, artwork, glass, and other items.

I could tell they are very experienced movers with hard-working employees (I quoted two other movers, but felt most comfortable with Republic after the on-site estimate). In fact, I have recommended them to my cousin for her upcoming local CA move in March from Coronado. It has been a stress-free moving experience. and now done.

The BEST move experience ever! We moved from San Diego to Orange County. The team (Sean, Anthony and Jarvis were amazing). Everyone was very professional, hard-working (It was 90 degrees and they had to go up 3 flights) and fun. They made moving day fun, they were all up beat and made the best of a hard day! The whole process, from the initial web inquiry to move-in was amazing and seamless. I can't wait to refer my friends and family Republic Moving and Storage. Don't ever move yourself again!

Overall they did good job, they were quick until I found out that one guy was packing all the dishes and I heard he broke something but I wasn't there to look at it at that moment, I thought he would tell me something later on but he didn't and I forgot to ask when they left. we found these broken dishes in the trash and broken pieces were left on the kitchen counter as well.

If he would have mention what he did and apologize to us, it wouldn't be a big deal, thank goodness it was not good or important dishes. But he hide it in the trash without telling us is NOT OKAY. We had guys name Hector, Jessie and Rey. Rey was the one who did dishes. They were nice people and worked so hard I appreciate their work but wish he would have told us what he did. Disappointed.

We're getting ready to move from San Diego to Hawaii, we're an army family. I've literally heard horror stories from so many people from different companies I was super nervous because this is only the second time in 13 years that we let the military move us. Well we got Enrique, Aaron, Kevin & Angel {he was only here the 1st day} These guys busted their butts & worked so darn hard!

I communicated with them About a few things that I have concerns over and they literally made me feel calm and less stress especially about a few heirlooms that I had that belong to my mom she passed away so I really wanted to make sure that they were certain things that got packed extra good! We had so much to take and they did it in the deadline given which was 4 days {like I said it was A LOT} Their was a few things that crates were not approved for but they wrapped everything really good and they actually use cardboard boxes to protect certain things & protection was put down on our floors and stairs.

These guys are absolutely AMAZING! They took everything apart and I'm just so Amazed at the job they've done! I fed them everyday because that was the least we could do! Our experience was super amazing! No laziness at all! I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY! Honestly Thanks to these guys for calming me down {I was a beyond stressed} giving me confidence that they had this 100% and they definitely did! Good a$$ hard workers! Goodbye San Diego & Hello Hawaii Thanks a million from the Alvarez family!

My husband and I were assigned to this company for our move last month. Being that we are military we have experience with moving companies and this is by far the worst moving company we have ever worked with. If you want items stolen, broken and property damaged-this is the company for you! While moving items from upstairs to downstairs the movers used a dolly which is perfectly fine.

Except when you have hardwood floors and the employees have put down absolutely no protection to protect them. I tried to stay out of their way but after hearing how aggressive they were being with the dolly I finally decided to check the floors when they were upstairs. Chunks were missing from each step where the back of the dolly was resting. As well as deep scratches on the landing at the top.

When I said something to them they finally put protection down but laughed as I walked away. Paul, the head guy had a horrible attitude any time we asked him a question or spoke with him. After they finished packing we were quickly asked to sign documents so that he could be on his way. My husband had a few words for him. After leaving we had to call him to come back because they had left items behind.

Well those items never made it. Unfortunately for us, he never went over inventory so now that we have missing items which is even more upsetting. I made the mistake of hiding a mason jar with 30 $1 bills in it that was gifted to me thinking no one will even see it where I hid it. Yes, my mistake. However, the lack of integrity shows with these guys who are handling your personal belongings.

The employee who packed my closet stole $24 from the jar. He didn't even pack the items in the dresser but had the nerve to go through the dresser and steal the money. I wouldn't have noticed except the jar was opened and the confetti that was inside was all over my drawer. We are also missing a suitcase full of wine from our wedding as well as special bottles of wine and alcohol.

In other words, the good stuff! I showed the employee how I had packed it and asked if it was ok. He said "looks good to me". Apparently it looked too good because it's now missing. When we arrived to our new home the moving company we worked with here was shocked at how poorly these items were packed. I have a very expensive surf board that is now damaged because it was shipped next to a set of golf clubs. The company here kept shaking their heads telling us how bad of a job this was. Long story short, if you have the option to work with another company. DO IT!

After going through several proposals we opted for Republic to move us to the east coast. Big move here! And although we definitely vetted pretty hard. we are very disappointed in their lack of customer service and LACK of attention to all details. When they first arrived in San Diego to pack us they did not bring all the required boxes and items from the previously paid quote (you pay full amount prior to the pack).

The two men started to pack our furniture with NO PADDING! Are you kidding me. we have marble tables and expensive furniture the guys used cut off end boxes to "protect" our furniture not real pads. Already a bad sign! One of the movers dropped our end table due to carelessness, trying to get done quickly and him not being strong enough for the job.

My husband had to help them pack and move items! The placed stuff in drawers that was suppose to go in BOXES! They also missed a whole drawer in the kitchen that we had to leave as we couldn't take these items on the plane. My husband called the sales rep Don after they completely forgot to bring the boxes to pack the bikes and he didn't seem to care about the complaints about the packers!

Not acceptable that we have to manage his employees. Our items arrived late (they packed us on Monday February 17 and furniture arrived on Miami March 6) and with ALOT of damages. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone. They were quick to pass us onto North American corporate and not assit with ensuring our damages were addressed. I will be calling them directly this week to get some solutions to all the damage they have done to our items and furniture since we did pay extra for the additional insurance!

I got multiple quotes from moving and packing. Republic can in with the best price. Don came to my house for an estimate and was pretty close to spot on for number of boxes needed and time to get the move done. They have you sign for an approved maximum charge so there are no surprises when you get the final charge at the end. Kurt and his crew worked their asses off to get our move done quickly and professionally.

They were respectful of our new house, covering floors, walls and doors. They packed our belongings securely and were on time for both the packing and moving appointments. Kurt is also a fun guy and complimented my shoes, so that was rad. Overall, this was an easy, affordable, low-impact move. Cant ask for anything more.

We had a great move-in experience. Tony (crew leader) and his team were professional, careful, quick, and efficient. Tony greeted me and introduced his team Cris, Israel, and Pablo. Tony briefed me on what would happen. He then asked me to give him and the team a tour of our house and asked where everything would be going. The move-in was so much quicker than our move-out.

It took a bit over 3 hours. It would have been quicker if I had planned out where everything would go better. It wasn't the same company that moved us from Hawaii. The company in Hawaii's name is Crown Relocations. Tony handed me the customer check-off list, the crew called out numbers as they unloaded the crates and I crossed the numbers off.

This was great since I got to see them unload each item and I got to direct them where it should go. Cris was very friendly and answered a handful of questions that I had about San Diego. Cris also gave me tips about my new puppy. Tony and his team did point out things that were damaged during the move which I appreciated. When everything was unpacked Tony went over the paperwork with my husband and me.

My husband came a bit later in the move in process, asked where specific items were and Tony was able to show him the items. It was nice to know that the company recycles the boxes and paper that was used to wrap items from the move. They offer a one-time free service to pick it up. This is my first experience moving states and I'm glad that Tony and his team showed up at my door. If we do move again I plan to request for this team.
