Shannon Moving & Storage

I can't say enough good things about Shannon Moving Company. I've used them three times now, and each time they've been a lifesaver during some really tough moments in my life.

The first time, I was dealing with the aftermath of a house fire. It was an incredibly stressful period, but Shannon Moving handled everything with such care and professionalism. They made a difficult situation a lot easier by taking the stress out of moving my belongings.

The second time was for my mum, who needed to move her things from San Diego to San Francisco. Once again, Shannon Moving came through. They were so kind and considerate and they made sure her things were transported safely and smoothly.

Most recently, they helped me move to my new apartment. The team was amazing--so professional and efficient. I didn't have to worry about a thing, which was such a relief during what could have been another stressful move.

I also use their storage services, and I'm so happy knowing that my belongings are in good hands. It's one less thing to worry about.

Thank you, Shannon Moving, for all your help and for making each move as smooth as possible. I've already recommended you to friends who are moving, and I wouldn't hesitate to do so again. You guys are the best!

If we could give more than 5 stars, we would! Our experience with Shannon Moving and Storage was fantastic from start to finish. We had a short window to schedule movers and came upon Shannon after the first company wasn't available. Wow, we were so impressed! From the first phone call to the follow up emails to the moving team on site- this company exudes professionalism and great service. Our moving team included Alex, Roberto, and Julio Ballo and they were absolute superstars! We could not have asked for a better team. Up and down two flights of SF stairs, they were fast, efficient, and extremely careful with each piece of furniture and every box. We are so thankful for how stress-free everyone on the team made this day. We will definitely be hiring them again for the next move. Thank you Shannon Moving and Storage!

Team Shannon was flexible and accommodated our moving needs.
Move 1- Piano across the city. They sent 2 trucks and 5 crew members to finesse the piano down 2 flights of stairs, into the truck and up a flight at the other end.
The crew asked if we wanted to load our boxes into the trucks and take advantage of the empty box crossing the city. That saved me the headache of renting a box van. It had not occurred to me they would send 2 giant trucks. That was a score for sure!

Move 2- Hustle all our boxes off to storage while we lived in a staged home. Super fast and efficient crew. They didn't like some of my furniture packing and added more blankets to be double sure all was safe.
Move 3- Storage to new home after escrow closed. Again, they sent a large crew and two smaller trucks to access the tight driveway at the new place.

If we had to move again, Shannon would be my first call. Do yourself a favor and get prices from 2 or 3 others for comparisons. Their service and flexibility outshone any others I have encountered.

(Truth be told, on all 3 moves, we picked up burritos for the whole crew and the last time discovered a new favorite taqueria in Concord. Don't tell management that we fed the crew.)

Fiachra and the Shannon team were great to work with since the first initial call. We called a handful of moving companies and Shannon gave us the best price. Moving crew Roberto, Julio and Anthony were very pleasant to work with during a stressful move from Marin down to San Diego. The team was very professional and handled our items with care. Well worth the price and couldn't be any happier to tip these guys at the end of the job.

Shannon was the only company that gave us a detailed quote. Working with our coordinator Fiachra was easy from start to finish. Our movers Roberto, Yer and Pascal(?) were on time, super quick, packed delicately, were very friendly and didn't leave a scratch. Brilliant crew. Definitely, definitely reccomend.

Shannon Moving, among others, was recommended to us by our apartment manager. After reviewing several Yelp pages and requesting quotes, we decided to go with Shannon Moving since they provided the most thorough quote and detailed information compared to the others.

We scheduled our move a few weeks in advance and the team answered all of my questions via Yelp and email, including our request to have a COI (certificate of insurance) for our apartment building.

I checked in with them a week before to confirm, and all looked good. When I went to approve the estimated invoice, I noticed the price was higher. After clarifying, it seems our original quote was the weekday rate but we were moving on a weekend, so it was $15/hour higher, but this didn't match our quote. Ultimately they honored the price given to me on our original quote, and I appreciated their integrity on that! Finally, they called me the day before to confirm final details.

The morning of, they showed up right on time and worked with our building concierge to find the optimal location to park. 3 guys led by Juan were efficient and professional, wrapping everything that should be wrapped and loading things carefully into their large van, down 22 floors using the service elevator. Since most of our stuff was in boxes already, my wife and I didn't have much to do while they moved things, so they allowed us to help move some boxes down throughout to speed up the process a little.

We left around the same time and arrived at our new place around the same time, and they were efficient in moving things in. Total it took 5.25 hours from SF to San Jose including the drive time and moving out/in. We ultimately ended up on the higher end of our original quote, but it was fair because we had more stuff/boxes/desks than the average 1BR move. When it came to payment, it was easy via credit card on their tablet, and Juan didn't pressure us to tip, though we gave a generous cash tip, of course.

It was a smooth experience and I'm so glad we went with Shannon Movers (not to mention to have hired movers this time instead of moving ourselves). I'd work with them again with our next move!

Moves within San Francisco are at best challenging and at worst difficult. No exception here. I moved from a building with no legal parking adjacent to building, so an SFPD motorcycle officer moved the drivers around the block. The Shannon movers were courteous and complied with the officer and hand-trucked furniture to truck located on next block without getting a citation. The building I moved to is in the middle of downtown and again, parking was half a block away. Movers unpacked and hand trucked furniture to building and professionally interacted with door personnel awaiting my arrival. Great job, well done and thanks to their patience and professionalism in handling an in-city move. I would of become frustrated, but they remained calm and got the job done.

The crew at Shannon Moving, from the person I booked over the phone with to the guys that did the heavy lifting, were absolutely fantastic. Everyone was super friendly, efficient, and professional. Not a single item was damaged, which I can't say the same for previous movers I've used in the past. They were recommended to me by a friend, and I will happily pass that recommendation on to others!

We used Shannon for our move within San Francisco. The movers handled our items with care while being efficient. The movers are well-versed with the challenges of moving in a city - parking struggles, walk-ups, etc. They were detail-oriented and placed our items exactly where we wanted them, which really relieves stress on us.

The price was very reasonable for three movers, and I will 100% be hiring Shannon again for my next move!

We are FIRST TIMERS when it comes to hiring Movers. WOW DID WE HIT THE JACKPOT! We moved from a one bedroom apartment into our first home. Shannon Moving was extremely prompt on replying with an estimate and their availability. Great pricing in my opinion, some of the best in the bay. I was so stoked they were able to move us on the 4th of July weekend (huge bonus to be available on a SUNDAY, no less). Roberto and Julio were super fast and very friendly. Both were extremely helpful. All of our items made it safe and sound, perfectly intact. Roberto and Julio even measured all doorways, triple checking our new space before unloading. They went above and beyond the call of duty. I can't recommend Shannon Moving enough! Thank You!
