Pure Moving Company

10 stars! This moving company made my move quick and easy!

Tim and his team showed up, enthusiastic and organized. They arrived right on time with all the equipment and packing supplies needed to move.
Also, all movers extremely were friendly and easy to work with.

They packed/unpacked everything efficiently and quickly. I would definitely recommend this company for any size of move.

# Pros Vs Cons
Pros:
- Very friendly.
- They're very transparent on their pricing. You do have to call them to get their costs on peak days. Additional fees that you may incur may be due to: long distance driving (they charge a flat fee, and all driving time is double cost), peak day moving, flat fee for the truck, buying insurance for TV. Discounts they offer: 7% off for paying with cash. All of this is explained in your first call -- there are no hidden fees between when you first book your move and when your move is complete.
- Price was best compared to any competitors: $169/hr for 3 guys, $39 truck fee, $179 long-distance drive fee, $49 TV insurance. They picked up things from two locations to be dropped off at a final location for about $1600.
- Their services are all-inclusive. They use the plastic wrap + cushion wraps around all wood furniture and plastic wrap all around mattresses. They even put our cat trees in boxes. They can pack and unpack for you, as well as disassemble and reassemble any furniture you want anywhere. This includes going up or down stairs, etc. You can also set as many pick-up locations as you'd like.

Cons:
- Some of the guys don't speak English, so you have to talk to the coordinator. I didn't find this to be a huge deal, as he was always around
- Some of the guys smoked. Not a huge deal. You're told ahead of time that the workers will have some time to eat lunch and take breaks, but I'm just not a fan of the smell.
- They're not the fastest workers I've had. The two previous times I've moved, the guys also wrapped everything and were careful, but moved everything faster. I think the system of paying based on the hour kind of encourages this, but even though Pure Moving has the lowest hourly rates, it kind of balances out with the slower movers.

Moving time examples:
- The first location probably should have taken at most 30 minutes ended up taking an hour. The boxes were all pre-packed and placed near the door. The wood desk needed wrapping and the bed needed disassembly + wrapping. I had three guys, so two guys should have been preparing the heavy stuff to handle in pairs while one guy should have been moving the boxes, but they did all boxes first, then desk, then bed.
- For all driving, they were surprisingly fast. They kept up with me.
- The second location they were moving stuff down stairs. There was definitely a lot more stuff, but everything was packed. There were two TVs to wrap, a few desks/tables to disassemble and wrap, and a bed frame to disassemble and wrap. They took about 3.5 hours to move everything. It should have taken about 2-3 hours to handle this, though they did take their lunch break during this part.
- The final location, they parked at the end of the driveway and just had to move most stuff to the garage (which was very close), and assemble one bed and one TV in the bedroom which was directly next to the garage across from the garage door. They did not have to unpack or disassemble anything else brought down. This should have been a fast and easy task (30-45 minutes), and it ended up taking 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Overall, a move that should have taken 5-6 hours ended up taking 8 hours.

# Summary
That being said, because of their cheaper rates, even though it took longer, it still was cheaper than competitors'. If all you care about is cost, then this company is the way to go, hands-down.

However, if you're in a rush, you'll probably want to look into hiring a different company. Adding an additional guy would not have helped, either, as they did not do a great job at parallelizing work. Pair-work (tables/beds/TVs) should have been done by pair guys at the same time that single guys were moving boxes.

The guys were still very friendly and easy to interact with, and I had an overall pleasant experience with them.

The moving crew worked very hard to get my things to me intact and protected. Ma was especially kind and went above and beyond to protect my property and protect Ovid great customer service.

Great, quick, and friendly service! Max and his team handled everything with care. We've moved every year for the past 3 years and will not ever use another company ever again.

these guys are the best! we've used them many times and they are our go to guys, would totally recommend them every time

Max and his team were great! They worked so hard moving our whole house. Highly recommend!

Anton and his team did a great job with our excessive amount of items. Quick efficient and safe. Third time using this moving company in LA and woidl definitely recommend again, great communication.

Very professional and very fast working team of 3 guys. Would use their service again.

I had a phenomenal experience w Pavel, Alex, Vova, and Andrew. Not only were they quick and diligent but also adaptive to the environment. I moved to Topanga at the top of the mountain and these guys just rolled with it, problem solved the terrain and made sure everything got done promptly. I cannot speak highly enough about these guys!

Quick, efficient friendly and took great care of all of our belongings. 2nd move with them and had some of the same great team members!
