Wanted to share our experience with Royal Moving. The entire process was extremely smooth and fast. They reassembled a IKEA bed and that in itself is hard but it was so easy for the 2 movers. Extremely professional and I highly recommend booking if needing movers. When I move again, they will be the company I called.
Price assessment: Great price
Services: Local moving
Response from the owner · 3 days ago
An IKEA bed can be a challenge to put back together, and we’re pleased our two movers made that part feel easy. Royal Moving & Storage is grateful to have provided a smooth, fast move with professional service in San Jose. Your recommendation—and the thought of being called on for your next move—means a lot to our team.
