What customers said about senior moving
STELLA MOVING & DELIVERY | SAN DI…Jerry, Junior, and Hercules were fantastic. They carefully wrapped all my furniture, took good care of my houses on both ends, and were quick and efficient. They were very polite and a joy to work with, I will definitely call them again.
Flexdolly Moving & Storage - San …The movers were friendly, and knew what they were doing. They were careful with my belongings and knew what they were doing. The job took longer than I expected, but it was also a bigger job than first planned for. I am a happy customer!
Sunshine Moving ServicesThe moving team were very friendly, fast and efficient. Every Item carefully wrapped and transported. Reasonably priced. Highly recommend.
Top Shelf Delivery and MovingI enjoyed working with a crew who communicated well and had excellent people skills. They worked closely with me from the beginning to the end of a successful move from my home to a Retirement Community.
STELLA MOVING & DELIVERY | SAN DI…Carlos, Arnold and Hercules are awesome and strong individuals. They should compete in the Olympics to exploit their individual talents. They are courteous and accommodated all our special requests. It was a pleasant experience working with them and if my referral will be needed I’ll be happy to vouch for them.
Flexdolly Moving & Storage - San …This was the smoothest, most professional move I could have hoped for! I initially chose them because they have experience with local, tight Mission Bay alleyways, and was very impressed with the way they managed parking and neighbor interface. They were also very courteous and pleasant to have in my personal space.…

How we grade

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.
Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.
