Nor-Cal did a GREAT job with my recent move from the CA Bay Area to Denver CO. It wasn't a simple move: I moved first into storage for several months, and then once I had a place in Denver, Nor-Cal arranged for two drop-offs, once at my condo and another at my son's house for some items that I decided not to keep. At every stage, Nor-Cal and their pickup and delivery teams were great. They kept me informed, did an excellent job packing and delivering, and were flexible and very professional. I would have no hesitation in using them again and in recommending them to others.

This is a top notch organization. Expensive and valuable antiques to be moved along with art work. Everything was done to perfection.

I can’t recommend this moving company enough. For my international move from California to the UK they handled everything so smoothly; it was hassle free and really helped with my stress levels at such a difficult time. For cost they came out most competitive compared to two other good companies, and I liked the way they were so flexible on volume. They really worked to help me feel comfortable on everything and felt like a very personal service. On moving day at both ends the teams were polite, efficient and did an excellent job of packing and handling my property. I didn’t really have to lift a finger or deal with any logistical arrangements on the day or leading up to it. Would definitely use again 100%.

From start to finish amazing communication, work and team. Pre-check of our home was quick and Matt was super friendly, patient to answer any questions we had about moving across an ocean. Both containers made it to our home in about 3 months from San Francisco, CA to the Netherlands. They took care of all the paperwork, sending us a clear checklist of what we needed to supply. We moved our home and 2 cars in shipping containers over sea and it was smooth sailing. Would 10/10 recommend and partner again should we relocate again in the future.Thank you to the team for the amazing care you all took to pack up our belongings and make sure they made it safely to their destination. We are beyond grateful for how smooth this move has been and it couldn’t have been so without you all. Thank you again for everything!

I hired NOR-CAL Moving to move a lot of furniture and boxes - not across town or across the country, but within my own house! I had some storage built in my attic so I could clear out my garage and various closets. The NOR-CAL movers were FABULOUS! They were very professional, neat and clean, super nice to work with, fast and strong. They listened attentively to instructions and followed through. Everything was carefully carried up two flights of stairs to my attic without nicking any walls or doors (that was hard to do). I also had two very large Persian area rugs which they laid out on their blankets, vacuumed the rugs, and carefully rolled them up in acid-free Tyvek for storage. NOR-CAL also packed and moved all of my household items 8 years ago, stored them temporarily in their warehouse, and then delivered everything to my new house. There were three gigantic flat-bed trucks of "stuff" and not a single item was lost or broken. NOR-CAL Moving is reliable, honest, careful, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend NOR-CAL Moving for all of your moving needs.

Ricardo and the Northern Cali. team was amazing, and Angelo and the Southern Cali. team was just as impressive. Moving is stressful, and they made it much better and easier. They were careful with our belongings, padded the entire home to avoid scratches/damages, and were super friendly, organized, and efficient. We will definitely use them again if we move and highly recommend them to anyone who's moving.

We moved from the Bay Area to Oregon and had to store our stuff for 6 months. Best moving experience I’ve ever had. Communication was great and everyone I dealt with very professional. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them!

I just relocated to North Carolina from California and I was lucky enough to choose Allied. Chris, Earseleanne and their team were fabulous. They were with me EVERY step of the way. From the price quote, to the move preparation, Mike the truck driver who led the packing team as well as the unloading crew, they ALL set the GOLD standard in executing a cross- country move that anyone would envy and everyone deserves. Efficient, on-time, friendly and packaging expertise that only comes with training and experience. Mike’s excellent inventory system was flawless. I would recommend Allied to everyone with a move in their future, you will be in excellent hands who really care about you and your move.

Please inquire in advance for pre-planning and logistics coordination.

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. We offer local, domestic, international, and office and industrial moving and storage/warehouse services. Call us for more information!

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.

Do you guarantee delivery or pickup dates?

For long-distance moves, we offer delivery windows and do our best to meet specific target dates.

Can you handle specialty or sensitive equipment?

Yes. Our team is trained to move electronics, servers, lab/medical equipment, and confidential files safely and securely.
