San Mateo Chilled Out Movers

The Best Movers in sanmateo Working with iMoving

We believe that a move should be an adventure and not a source of stress. If you are looking for a way to compare multiple movers without wasting your day calling one by one, look no further. iMoving’s mover’s marketplace allows you to not only compare quotes, but really even book the vendors directly off our site. You can even lock down all the extras.

Honesty isn’t a bonus, it is at the core. There are just some things you should never compromise on. This is why we read through all the reviews and triple check every single one of our movers.

Don’t trust just anyone with your San Mateo move. There are too many scammers looking to take advantage of families. 

We wish we didn’t have to revolutionize the moving industry, but it really left us no choice. After 30 years of seeing families get scammed and losers running away with their hard earned money, we had enough. We took our knowledge and turned it into iMoving. A trusted mover’s marketplace built for our clients.

Cal State did an AMAZING job with my move. I had an interstate move from the Bay Area to Portland and everything was done very professionally and quickly. All of my items arrived and as far as I can tell not a single thing has been damaged. Miguel picked up all of my items in the Bay and packed them all very professionally and quickly. I paid for a shortened delivery window and I received my items way faster than I expected even with the additional cost. Juan delivered all of my items carefully and professionally and made sure all of my insured items were functional before leaving. I would absolutely use them again and would recommend them to my friends and family without a second thought. 5 stars!

FAQ

How Can I Tell if a Mover is Legit?

Movers need to have an official Department of Transportation (DOT) number, which you should be able to find on their website. If a moving company handles long distance moves that cross state lines, they'll also need a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) number. Don't forget to check reviews and look for any insurance info they may feature on their website.

What’s the Best Time of Year to Move to San Mateo?

San Mateo may have decent weather sometimes, but we always recommend a mid-month, mid-week move, in any season but the summer. Take a word of advice from the iMoving pros: Avoid a June, July, or August move if possible. It’s the most expensive time to move, and it’s usually WAY too hot for hauling boxes.

How Does iMoving Ensure the Quality of San Mateo Moving Companies?

Before we even let a mover into our marketplace, we look over megabytes of authentic customer reviews. We also check out their services, their certifications, and their insurance. To keep the movers in our network honest, iMoving will sometimes have secret shoppers call in, pose as customers, and ask plenty of questions to make sure our carriers are staying legit.

Do I Need Moving Insurance?

It's always a good idea to get insurance, and in the interest of being responsible, we're not going to tell you to skip it. However, if you're feeling risky and you're only moving a couple blocks (without anything fragile thrown in the mix), you may be able to get away with the basic coverage offered by your movers.

How Do Moving Containers Work?

Moving containers are a great middle ground between a DIY job and hiring full-service movers. A moving container company will drop off the container at your place, and you can fill it up on your own schedule. When it's ready to go, just contact the container company and they'll pick it up and transport it for you. It's like having a portable storage unit that gets delivered to your door.
