Due to the COVID-19 pandemic quarantine, my son did not return to college after the spring break. His belongings were in his dorm room. I was at a lost; who to call and what to do. Luckily, Pacific Transfer LLC was on the list of movers to call. After several inquiries, they came in with the most affordable quote for my budget. Brandon and his crew did an incredible job throughout this process; friendly, fast, seamless, professional!
The way that the items were wrapped and shipped was personalized, like they were thinking "how would I like to receive this box if it were mine". Lagniappe! HUGE THANK YOU! You'll be the first on the list next time!

Brandon and his crew at Pacific transfer were amazing. I shipped a container from Hilo and had Pacific Transfer pick it up and unload. As I was making the reservation I was unsure about the shipping dates. Brandon promptly sent a quote and followed up to make sure they were ready when I was. I did not know that this container would take 4 guys to unload and I only asked for 2. When we discovered the daunting task ahead, Pacific transfer sent out more guys and they unloaded the container quickly. All the guys worked hard and were super efficient. Highly recommended

Once again I used Pacific Transfer for my move. Brandon has been a wonderful help every inch of the way. He is knowledgeable and very trustworthy. The crew he sent to do the move were professional, efficient, hard-working, and very careful. I could not have asked for a better outcome. Thank you Brandon and crew - you made this stressful time much more pleasant. I would highly recommend Pacific Transfer if you want ease in your move.

Our actual packing day was fine. I felt bad for the guys because the person that came to do the pre-move inspection of our belongings grossly underestimated how much we had. There were three guys and it took them all day. They worked hard, we provided breakfast and lunch as well as tipping them $20 each at the end. We thought all was good until our belongings were delivered on the mainland. They didn't seal two of our crates properly and half of our belongings were soaked in Hawaii then grew mold during the transfer.
We can't salvage this stuff from water damage and mold. So whoever was responsible for securing the crates failed big time. This was our first government contracted move in 14 years that we have experienced such problems. Yes we can file a claim but these were our personal belongings and things we've collected throughout the world. It's devastating to see your things arrive in such bad condition that shows how little this company actually cares.

3 man team was fast in the morning then slowed down big time in the afternoon when they realized that they didn't much left to pack. Started taking longer breaks and chit chatting. Sales manager Brandon demanded immediate payment sending me two email notices the same day! My household goods didn't even leave on Monday as expected rather it took a couple of days to weigh them and give me a final price.
Since I had already left island my realtor informed me that the ceiling fan had been damaged. Informed Brandon about the damaged but denied it stating I had already signed the clearance. Who stares up at the ceiling anyway? I was focused on wall damage. If anything the movers should have been honest and come up front with the damaged they caused. Lesson learned!
