I cannot recommend Erkin highly enough for a long-distance move. Choosing a moving company for my relocation from Santa Rosa to Chicago was a stressful process. Erkin not only offered... read more me a competitive price but, more importantly, he impressed me from the get-go with his honesty, integrity, and straightforward communication. He handled the move from top to bottom, including making a special trip to the north bay to bring me packing supplies.
Erkin's team was very polite, friendly, and hardworking. Erkin made an effort to have only 2 of the 5 movers inside my home out of courtesy, due to my previously expressed COVID concerns.
I couldn't be there at the other end for the unloading, but he moved my stuff into a storage unit, left the boxes I asked to be easily accessible in front, sent me photos, and even contacted my friend to hand off the storage key since the storage place wouldn't hold it for me. His communication was great throughout. (Don't worry about the fact that his voicemail is full -- he always called me back quickly after seeing a missed call).
There is a reason for all those 5-star reviews -- look no further than Erkin for a smooth moving process with a reliable company!

- $50 deposit later became nonrefundable reservation fee which CANNOT be applied to moving cost
- 2 HOURS LATE than the scheduled time WITHOUT ANY NOTICE
- 40MIN of drive took them 90MIN
- left lots of SCRATCHES and MARKS on the wall

On Oct 26th, we called Erkin to book the moving from San Francisco to Sunnyvale on Oct 29th at 1PM. Erkin asked us to pay $50 deposit.

On Oct 29th our moving day, at 1:30PM we still didn't see him and we didn't get any call from him to let us know they would come at a later time. We called him and he said they would come at 3PM. This totally disrupted our moving plan!!

After they moved all our stuff on their truck, Google map shows driving from San Francisco to Sunnyvale takes around 40 minutes at that time. However, Erkin took 90 minutes driving a small truck. Also he charged us another 30 minutes for driving back to SF. We have no idea how can a 40min trip on a Saturday evening without any traffic on the road became 90min ?!

When the moving was complete, Erkin asked us to pay the full amount for 5.5 hours of moving, we paid with tips. On the second day we realized Erkin didn't refund us the deposit, so we called him and he refused and said the $50 was reservation fee rather than deposit. He is being dishonest and we have never seen someone doing business in this way!

We called Erkin several times asking him to refund the deposit. He kept making different excuses to hang up on us. At the first time he said he was busy, and he would call me back later but he never didn't. At the second time, Erkin said his accountant was out of town and he needed to confirm with the accountant. We were so tired of his lies, and at last we had to call our bank to dispute that charge.

We have no idea why this company got so many good reviews, only thing we can say is to rethink before you book with them.

  Great company, efficient and nice people, great prices - a company that'll provide you with professional, personalized, and prompt service without the ridiculous overcharges other movers may charge.  See below.... read more />
Gotta give it to Erkin and his team - they were really great from start to finish.  I called him and he personally took my call.  After explaining what I needed, he sent me a quote which was really reasonable.  

My move in time at the new condo I was moving into was 1-5pm, Erkin and another person (Alex? Sorry if I got that wrong I'm bad with names ) came to the apartment at 9:30, quicker than I expected!  

After checking out my apartment, they said they'd need another person for just moving the couch because it would go quicker--we had no stairs, no elevator, were a couple flights up and the stairwell was super narrow.  Yup, I said I was ok with it.  Ivan showed up within the hour to start helping.  

They moved really efficiently, I never saw them slow down and I was in the apartment most of the time!   We had packed prior to them coming, but there were stuff like the couch that we hadn't done.  They packed the couch, furniture and grouped all the loose items into boxes that they brought themselves.  

Once it was finished, I was under the impression they were gonna take a lunch break but they asked if they could continue on and drive over to the place!  Unfortunately the condo is strict with move in times so they waited at my old place until they could drive over and start.

They met me at security, they backed their box truck into our condos loading dock, and we started.  The move in was really quick, asked where we wanted all our boxes, and that was that.  

We paid at the end, and they only charged ~30 min for the 3rd person!  Erkin was there the entire time but he did exactly as promised, no extra fees or trying to nickel and dime you for every extra service.  

I would highly recommend them.  Erkin was really communicative and called me throughout the process.  He even called after everyone was gone an hour later to check if everything had gone ok and if there were any problems.  There wasn't!  Nothing was broken, everything came intact, and I felt I had gotten the best service money could buy.  

Thanks again.  Will be using them again if and when we have to move.

  I've moved up and down the California coast.  I've hired movers maybe 5 times. This was the best relocation experience I've ever had and it was all thanks to Erkins... read more team:  Artem and his partner, who's name eludes me. I want to thank them both for being professional courteous and extra hard-working they went beyond and they were efficient in helping us move. Next time I move if I move I will most definitely be using this service.

  How would I describe Erkin's Relocation Services? Friendly, efficient, affordable, careful, and considerate. These guys are the best in the business.

They moved all of our things from... read more our old San Francisco apartment to our new Santa Monica apartment on the same day. Despite the fact that this was a long and tiresome day, the entire crew still delivered with lightening speed and caution, and with positive and caring attitudes.

The 5-star service for sure. These guys are the best!

  I needed a quick move-out after a bad break-up. I wanted to make it all in one swoop. I started calling every company on the Yelp list. When I got... read more to Erkin, he was so kind and straight forward, plus, the price was within budget. I was waiting for the catch. He was able to set me up for the next morning. My brother and I didn't have much prep time because of wanting to do it all at once, but Erkin's guys helped pack all the delicate items and helped with everything we asked. While we planned on a quick, let's just get things out they took such great care wrapping everything. We had nothing damaged, the two men were very professional, they came armed with extra supplies which came in handy. I only take off 1 star because I felt I had to keep reminding them of the most important items. We needed their help with the furniture first and foremost, but towards the end I had to push that they get the largest items first. I felt like I conveyed that early on.

Great movers. Be clear on your expectations. Let them do their work.

  Great movers! VERY professional, wrapped/packed everything very neatly. I highly recommend.

  Smart, handled everything with care, responsive, Erkin made everything easy and was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend for your move. They were super fast and careful. Erkin even... read more helped me with storage.

  Erkin helped us move from coast to coast, and we had a great experience. It is especially wonderful in light of the scammy horror stories I had heard from friends... read more who had truly terrible experiences with bigger companies.
Erkin came out to look at our apartment, gave us a flat price and then hustled to find us someone with whom to share the truck. With the shared truck our total came in within several hundred of a POD, which we would have had to load and unload ourselves!
He dropped off a ton of boxes for us to get started with packing the smaller items.  He contacted us and asked if his team could come a day earlier than our scheduled move - he was clearly worried about how long the loading would take.  They brought a team of 8, all dressed in red shirts, spread out all over the apartment and packed and loaded everything super-thoroughly and quickly, and even managed to follow our instructions. The team was respectful and friendly.  Erkin did a lot of work himself along with his crew.
There was a little bit left for the next morning, when Erkin came with an assistant, finished loading and took off for the long cross-country drive.  
They arrived at our new place before we did, unloaded according to our instructions, and were on the way.  I don't know that I could have expected a more painless move.
If there was anything I could change, it would be better comms around arrival times for the crew - but given the size and complexity of the job, it was a pretty minor issue. I've had a lot more grief from simple Ikea deliveries! I really appreciated having a truly flat price and outstanding service.
I definitely recommend and would use Erkin's services again.

  Not even a minute after I filled out the free quote form on their website, Erkin gave me a call back to follow up on my move. Erkin was flexible... read more with the pricing and helped with our move on such short notice (less than 48 hours). The move was from San Francisco to Berkeley on one of the most rainy and traffic heavy days. The two person team (Erkin and Albert) did an efficient job of relocating everything, even overcoming multiple stairways and narrow hallways.  Erkin was incredibly responsive, being a call or text away. Huge thank you again for everything!
