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. Customer Care Department

A HUGE thank you to Eugene and his crew for being such an incredible help throughout our entire moving process! Moving can be such a headache, but they made the entire experience feel seamless and stress-free. They were attentive to our needs, incredibly detail-oriented, and worked hard every step of the way to make sure everything went smoothly. Having worked with A LOT of moving companies over the past two years, I can confidently say that Eugene and his team have been the best by far! They were extremely professional, hardworking, and genuinely cared about making the process as easy as possible for us. I couldn’t recommend them enough! If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and hardworking moving team, look no further than Eugene and his crew!
