Highly recommended, hard working and extremely quick moving guys. Big thanks to Alexander for all the help. Would recommend!

  For our Bay Area to Portland move, we made the mistake of responding to a moving broker ad, and all of a sudden we were getting tons of calls, texts, and emails from all over the country promising impossible rates and great service. But when we dug into these companies, there was a lot of fine print about how they load your stuff onto a shared truck, delivery dates were not promised, and final date would be based on cobbling together a bunch of moves, so you might be first or last, depending on how they string the drop-offs together. Looking closer, there were sketchy reviews for some of them.

So we checked out some Bay Area companies next, and got video walkthrough bids for three of them, all were higher than the broker referrals, but we were glad to be dealing with legit local companies. I ended up talking to Erkin, and felt immediately like this was the company for us.

We agreed on the price (he lowered it to match the lowest of the three), then we got ready for the move coming up in about 3 weeks. We packed about 95% ourselves, except items such as an elliptical machine and some big furniture. His crew of 4 arrived and took great care in loading and tying down everything, wrapping blankets around all the fragile items.

Erkin himself drove the truck up to Portland, and brought on 4 local movers there from his network of contacts. It was nice to have the owner himself involved on both sides. Again they were very careful and worked hard for many hours bringing items to various rooms and up and down stairs. At the end, he asked me to walk through to make sure all was correct, and his guys moved a few items before leaving.

It was a great move done by friendly professionals. I felt low stress about it all due to Erkin's professional demeanor and him returning my texts quickly.

The only casualties were a few potted plants, which I had placed in a laundry basket at the last minute, I blame myself for not packing them better.

I highly recommend Erkin's for your next move!

  All good, until there's a problem. Then don't expect to ever hear from him again.
I relocated from Oakland to Las Vegas. I sourced several companies for Direct/Non-Broker State to State, and found Erkin to be local, a good value, and responsive.
The 4-man crew showed up [late] on a Sunday, with a Monday mid-day delivery. I was supposed to be the only customer.
The 2-man crew didn't show up until 7:30pm, saying there was traffic. But the truck had someone else's property in it, telling me they double booked and did that job before arriving to my home. So I had to help them unload to get it done by 10:30.
Property was damaged, and Erkin took weeks to respond to my claim, saying he'd been injured.
Then, when we finally connected, he said he would Venmo me the cost of the damaged property. I never heard from him again after daily attempts to contact.
Stay far away and go with another company.
UPDATE: After weeks of no contact I finally heard from Erkin - 3 hours after posting this review. He starts the phone call by yelling at me, and even provided proof that he's been receiving my messages but willingly chose not to respond. Ridiculous.

  My  husband and I moved here in TOMBALL, TEXAS from NORTH BEACH in SAN FRANCISCO, CA on JUNE 22, 2021. A month earlier, I contacted ERKIN RELOCATION SERVICE for an estimate on how much was the cost to move my personal effects from CA to TX. I was delighted to note that ERKIN, the owner of the company, responded within minutes of my chat inquiry at his company at YELP. In three hours, we were able to sort out our schedule and he came by to my flat in San Francisco and met with me and my husband.

POSITIVE POINTS:
1. Erkin was straightforward regarding the cost of my move. No hidden fees. So that was good.

2 He suggested that we get started to prepare for our move by getting rid of the  unwanted things  I had in my home. These were old furnitures including my piano.

3. ERKIN's company was the only game in town who was able to move down my piano in a narrow passage of our stairs. And as you must know, San Francisco apartment buildings mostly have narrow stairs due to the limitation of space in the city. Hence,  I was happy with him and his staff that they were able to get the piano out of my flat! Erkin even knows how to play the piano!

4. In place of the furnitures to ship to TX, I had 35 pots of live plants in large pots transported by ERKIN. These included the very rare Burenfelsia plant (aka Yesterday Today and Tomorrow), Pink Jasmine, Star Jasmine, umbrella plants, Citrus Cypress, Bay (Laurel) plant, Thornless Bougainvillea , Fennel, etc. At first, I was afraid that they were all going to die on the road but miracles of all miracles, as ERKIN had  promised me, he did his best to take care for them. I was really touched (my heart *melting* with joy) to see my plants are alive and (even flowering at the time of delivery to my new residency on JUNE 25th) in Texas! Erkin said that he watered them and opened his truck during his gas stop to let in the light/sun while on a break driving inter state! Can you beat that? My husband, friends and family who saw my plants via FaceTime were impressed that they survived  the long journey! They all asked, "HOW DID HE DO IT?" In fact, my close friend even said, You should give him a 10-star rating!!!!" that tells you the  kind of man is he. So, a million thanks to ERKIN! For this gesture, I am giving him a 5-star rating. I don't think anyone or any moving company could have done what he did for this job! Superb!

SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT:
1. ERKIN's business will do even a lot better if he and his crew would come on time. Twice they were two hours late on their promised ETA.

2. The process to remove the items to be dumped in Recology should be explained to the customers prior to starting the job. On my end, I had a hard time finding my office supplies because his crew started moving my personal effects very fast while taking away the furnitures in my flat. my husband and I were lost on what they were doing.  Also, at that time, my husband and I had already packed our moving boxes, and so when they gathered them together and returned them after the furnitures were taken away, the box with labels were facing the wall and were not facing the front so we had a hard time identifying them when we needed something from two of the boxes. That was tough. Otherwise, they were fine.

Lastly, a big THANK YOU, ERKIN and company, for a job well done!

  We had such a great experience with these guys! We had the smoothest moving process possible for moving and we work together really well as a team. I would definitely recommend them.

  I highly recommend Erkin and his team! Super cooperative and flexible ! Great value! On the schedule! Fast and professional!

  This company is fantastic! I've never used a moving company like this before and have heard horror stories so I was beyond pleased that the day went off flawlessly. I had a 3 movers (Stephan, David and Han) who moved my 2 bedroom apartment into a new place yesterday. Erkin was easy to work with in the booking process. He was straight forward, communicative, fair and I'm pretty sure he put a crew together when they were originally not available so that I could get moved on my preferred day. The moving process was excellent as well. All three guys hustled, knew their roles and were efficient. They wrapped our stuff nicely so nothing got damaged. I really can't say enough good things about my experience and would highly recommend this company.

  Fantastic moving service! They carefully moved all of our belongings -- and set things right back up in the new place. My husband noted that it was as if his closet had been 'copy/pasted' into the new apartment. They were especially careful with my standing desk, piano, and bikes. Thanks for making this move seamless! Well worth it!!

  Reached out to Erkin rather last minute for a move that was becoming too much for my family to tackle alone. Erkin not only was able to fit us in, but helped strategize what sort of team would be needed and what we could do in advance to help conserve time and budget - of which were strict on both.

The communication was stellar. Erkin's team actually came the evening before to get furniture and the apartment finished up so that they could maximize the time we had the elevator at my complex the following day.

The team moved us into our new place the following day, started in the morning, and were done by early afternoon, leaving us the rest of the day to begin unpacking and not have to deal with a long and laborious move.

Having moved a lot over the last several years, Erkin and his team were by far the best movers we have ever employed. They were all extremely nice people, careful with our stuff, but also extremely fast and efficient. It's rare to find a moving company that has all of those qualities and we cannot speak higher of Erkin's moving services.

  This was my first time hiring a moving company, and my experience was far better than expected.

The move itself was pretty straightforward - I was just moving a few blocks away and only had two rooms worth of furniture and boxes. But the movers were professional and efficient and put me at ease.

Overall, my experience was quick, worry-free (and most importantly) reasonably priced. Also, nothing was damaged. I highly recommend Erkin's team and would hire them again.

  Great moving company. They will pick up and deliver your furniture without any dents or any other issues. The most hard-working people that I've ever met. Love the quality and business they provide!
They picked up stuff from the pod and moved it to my house. They were on time, super reliable and wrapped anything that is fragile and took their time to make sure nothing is damaged. They're also very reasonable and I highly recommend them.

  We all know living in the Bay Area is full of challenges. Being a long time resident I know for the fact that moving from one apartment to another is part of the game that we gotta deal time to time. I have moved a lot (unfortunately) and hiring movers has always been most dreaded task for me until I found Erkin's relocation service. I couldn't ask for better crew. Here is why:
On the day of the move Erkin and his helper arrived right on time. Both of them wear masks and other protections from Covid, they strictly take all the precautionary measures during the work. Once they showed up they immediately started working on my move saving my time and money. During the process they were very careful with my furnitures, boxes and other stuff. All the furnitures were thoroughly wrapped up before taken out. They had all needed tools starting from electrical screw driver all the way to moving dollies and wardrobe boxes that made the move pretty smooth and quick. Some furnitures had to be taken apart as they were too big to move. I also had baby crib which I thought needed to be disassembled, but after speaking with Erkin I was told that it would take for them at least 20-30 minutes to disassemble and reassemble in the new apartment. Erkin with his helper strapped, took it out of the window and put it down to the first floor. Instead of 30 minutes they spent only 3 minutes. This shows how professional they are. Overall I'm fully satisfied with their job and highly recommend them for everyone.

  Erkin moved us from NorCal to SoCal in ONE day. He was the only mover I called that was able to do a same-day NorCal to SoCal move. With all the other moving companies, we would've had to wait anywhere from 3-14 days to get all our stuff. Pricing was significantly better than any other company we received a quote from as well. Overall, a successful move -- everything made it down same day and nothing broke!

Moving day was one of the longest and most exhausting days of our lives, but Erkin had a great attitude and remained in good spirits all day, even when he was unloading our stuff pretty late in the night. We started the day in San Francisco around 9AM and finished loading all our stuff into the truck by 1PM. While we already had most of our stuff packed into boxes, Erkin's team provided all materials needed to wrap our furniture and TV. He also provided larger boxes for random odds and ends that we couldn't fit into our own moving boxes, and wardrobe boxes for our clothes.

Erkin and his crew then took a lunch break and left SF around 2PM. Since he was driving the big moving truck, he had to drive slower and made it down to Orange County by about 11PM, then spent the next two hours unloading all our stuff and reassembling furniture. It was such a long day, we definitely couldn't have done it ourselves, so we are very grateful to Erkin and his team.

Just a few pieces of constructive feedback: (1) The SoCal team that helped unload did not wear masks -- not even while in the elevator with my boyfriend and they kept trying to make conversation with us. I understand that it is difficult to wear a mask while doing heavy lifting, but I would've appreciated if they had at least put on masks before talking to us or getting in the elevator. To be fair, Erkin and the SF crew wore masks whenever they'd have to be in close proximity with us or talk to us, so it's just the SoCal team that I had an issue with (and they may have been part of an affiliated moving company, not directly under Erkin's supervision).

(2) Erkin's initial time estimate for how long the move would take was a bit optimistic -- I think he initially said we'd be done by 9PM or so. Obviously we didn't make any other plans that day, but I would've appreciated a more accurate time estimate, and I think we could have started earlier in the day (like around 7AM) so we didn't have to be unloading the truck at 1AM. That said, I am VERY grateful that Erkin was willing to work so late at night to get our move done as promised. Thank you again, Erkin! We have already recommended Erkin to a few other friends who moved long distance during Covid and they have had great experiences as well.

  I strongly recommend Erkin if you're needing movers! He was super friendly and very efficient with our move despite a tricky couch situation. He even came back the weekend after to fix up a few unavoidable floor scratches that resulted from the move, without accepting any tip for it. Moving was such a breeze!

  Efficient, professional, very reasonably priced- and drove me to my new residence! What more could one ask for?

Highly recommended...

  Erkin is very Ernest and responsible. Great service with reasonable price. When I try to book a time slot, both weekends are full. He tried to squeeze my appointment in the afternoon and helped to find backup in the last minute when the previous move is taking longer than expected.

He and the team also followed up on the next day to help locate the bed into the bedroom. I'd recommend Erkin's team to others, but remember to book it in advance!

  I hired Erkin last month to help me with my first big move and I'm so glad I did!  His rates are reasonable and straight-forward, and the entire booking process was super simple.  Him and his crew arrived with masks on and worked tirelessly to help me finish packing and move 60 boxes plus furniture up several flights of stairs.  Moving is a stressful process, but you'll be in great hands with Erkin.

  They were super diligent in safely packing our items and worked extremely quickly given the amount of stairs involved in the move. Nicest in the biz

  I was impressed with Erkin's service. It was reasonably priced so if you are price shopping, this is it. He came to our home to inspect and give an estimate, which turns out to be a bit more because we asked for some disassembly and there were traffic. He was on time and professional, moved quickly and reassuring. I'd use his service again for my next move. and i highly recommend him for anyone considering a move in the bay area.

I moved from a 400 sq ft studio into a 700 sq ft 1br, with belongings of two people and a cat, plus some disassembly, took a total of 4hr45m

  My move went very smoothly. I have very heavy furniture and my new place has two floors for stairs. They wrapped all my furniture carefully with blankets and wrapping tapes and assembled the heavy ones after move. I was worried about the light colored furniture and it was put together in its perfect original condition.
They are very reasonably priced and communicate well about the timings. Erkin was very responsive to my calls and answered all my concerns patiently. I would definitely recommend them.
