NOR-CAL Moving Services Reviews

The movers on the day of the move were great. Helped pack some items. Loaded everything. Friendly and efficient. Today the truck arrived at our new home and this crew was equally outstanding. Efficient and friendly. And everything arrived in great condition

Matthew Vukovic was exceptionally helpful and responsive. Matthew and the rest of the California team helped make my international move easier to coordinate and less stressful. They were always happy to help with questions about the process and paperwork, making me feel very confident. When I had some difficulties with the European partner, they immediately responded and made my delivery happen on time. I highly recommend them. Make sure to keep them copied when communicating with the European partners.

I highly recommend Allied/NOR-CAL moving company. Everyone I interacted with from beginning to end was professional and extremely friendly. I moved from California to Florida and the truck arrived at my new home in 10 days which was much quicker than I anticipated. Nothing was damaged in the move either and the guys who unloaded the truck did a fantastic job. And the few items that they did pack for me was packed nicely and handled with care and they wrapped and protected all my furniture really well. I can’t find one negative thing to say about my experience using this company. Definitely a 5 star experience. Thank you!!!

Question & Answer

Do I need an estimate?

Yes. We offer free, no-obligation estimates. You can choose between in-person or virtual live video surveys. We try our very best to work and handle all kinds of moving scenarios.

Please note: We do NOT offer ball-park estimates over the phone.

Do you provide packing services?

Yes! We offer partial and full-service packing. We use high-quality materials to protect your items during transit.

Can I track the moving truck?

Currently, we provide regular updates and estimated arrival times to keep you informed throughout the move.

Do you offer full-service moves?

Yes. Our full-service moves include packing, moving, unpacking, and furniture setup, providing a comprehensive relocation experience.

Why should I choose NOR-CAL Moving Services?

Since 1982, we’ve been serving the Bay Area and are the go-to mover for top companies. Whether you’re moving a household or a global HQ, we tailor every move to your budget, timeline, and needs.

Customer satisfaction isn’t just a goal — it’s our standard.

Are you a moving broker or freight forwarder?

No, we are a licensed, professional moving company — not a broker or freight forwarder.

Here’s why that matters:

Brokers don’t own trucks or movers. They act as middlemen, often outsourcing your move to third parties with very little to no oversight.

Freight forwarders manage shipping logistics but don’t actually perform your move.

Choosing a direct mover like us means:

  • Full accountability and service continuity
  • No surprise carriers
  • Personalized customer care

Tip: Ask for a mover’s USDOT number and verify it at: FMCSA’s website.

Are there eco-friendly moving options?

We strive to offer environmentally responsible options, including reusable crates, recycling programs, and carbon-offset transportation where possible.

Do you offer virtual estimates or video surveys?

Yes. To make planning easier and safer, we provide virtual and video survey options for accurate, contact-free estimates.
