Wurlitzer Moving Corporation

I used Wurlitzer to move the contents of my parent’s condo in Waikiki to my apartment in and my apartment and my mom’s retirement community in LA. Eric came by referral from a classmate’s uncle who did a mainland move. Unlike any other mover in Oahu, Eric came over to give me an estimate within the short period of time I was in Oahu. He knew I was concerned about things breaking, bedbugs and the LA end of the move. He gave me a flat rate for two separate days. Day one was about a five to six hour day of packing and Day two of loading the container was much shorter. The very nice and efficient mover who packed for me picked up foggers for me. They were for ants & roaches but I don’t believe the container picked up any bedbugs. Wurlitzer fee includes the Matson container delivery to the dock in Oahu. I got a 20 by 8 by 8 container. Fee was $ 1850. I just unpacked everything. Nothing broke. My LA movers complained about the amount of packaging used. While I am a eco friendly person normally, when it comes to packing for an ocean freight move, there is no such thing as too much packing.
My Matson Fee was $ 2411 including a live unload (trucker waits for your container to be unloaded) in Hollywood. The Waikiki end where there is a loading zone in my parent’s high rise was easy. Parking a container without getting a ticket in Hollywood wasn’t easy and super stressful. In LA, I used Pure Moving Company. I would recommend them if you’re moving in LA.

I was sitting in a salon and this gal and I started chatting about moving my office & home. She convinced me to hire Wurlitzer Moving Company and said nothing but good things about them.
(1) he understand the commercial aspects of moving and I was delighted when he knew exactly the «rules of engagement» when I told him where my office was. (certificate of liability, blah blah blah) He and his crew was so fast! My office of 18 years was packed up in just about an hour and shipped over to the windward side. The best investment of time and money and relief of back pain that my husband is forever grateful for. That would have taken me all weekend & a lot of pain and frustration!
(2) now we’re moving to a new home and called upon Erik again. He was so awesome that he got me some used moving boxes from a previous client he just assisted in moving (SCORE!), which I will return to him so that he can pay it forward once again.
Erik even provided some packing tips (and not just the usual stuff I read about on-​line) — you’ll have to engage in his services to find out what he told me!
Very professional, very courteous, and most importantly, his staff is really nice. They DO NOT look like they just came out of prison, which is a perk in comparison to other commercial companies (I won’t name them) so it made me feel even more at ease that the people coming into my new home isn’t «casing» the joint!
I love supporting locally owned businesses. This guy has been doing this for a while and it’s obvious he knows his stuff!

I used Wurlitzer for a two-​day move. It went well except for one item.
When negotiating the price I specifically asked Erik to take some large items to Salvation Army and get a receipt as part of the move. He left the items in the garage and never disposed of them even though he agreed in advance to do so, thus causing me some logistical problems and a major time crunch in making arrangements to deal with the items before we returned the keys to our landlord. He pulled two guys away from my job on the second day to start on another job. Maybe if the guys would have stayed on my job for the full two days as contracted there would have been time to dispose of the items as he promised. He did not leave enough time to complete my job as contracted and I am out a tax deduction (thus increasing the effective price of my move) because of his failure. Had I known he wouldn’t make the items a priority at the outset, I would have called Salvation Army well in advance to schedule the pick up before we vacated the premises.
The physical moving process was great; I would give his staff the highest rating –nothing broken, very polite, etc. — but he was unprofessional in this one respect and left me hanging. Perhaps a more honest appraisal of the situation at the front end on his part (he walked through the house a week or more in advance so knew exactly the contents and what was required) would prevent such problems in future.

I moved on 12÷28÷13 and I am so pleased with the move. I moved from a house to an apartment. Very curteous young men who were trained to make a smooth move. I will definitely use them again when I move back to my house. Erik, you did a great job!

When we moved to Hawaii a few years ago we packed the continuer ourselves as we were so worried that things would get damaged… it was a HUGE effort but everything came through with flying colors… Erick and his team unloaded our container & were amazing with how fast yet gently they handled our goods.
It was now time to move back to the mainland and the thought of doing it ourselves once again was not gonna happen… we talked to lots of movers and we could not get comfortable so we called Erik & Karen which we should have done in the first place and he and his team we awesome… on time, hard working, great sense of humor and good attention to detail… Karen was also wonderful working out the logistics etc.
To top it off, Erik connected us with a great move on the mainland side who had the same work effort as Erik & Karen and their team.
Moving is always stressful but moving when you must put everything you own in a container and send across the water when so much can go wrong and to have it all go so right is truly special.

When my fiancé and I moved to the mainland, we decided to book each leg of the move ourselves to save money. We used Wurlitzer for the Hawaii end of the move. We heard about the company via a referral from another Hawaii moving company.
Initially, we were a little worried. When we called, Erik seemed to be quite busy and sometimes took a while to return calls.
Come move day, we found that our fears were unfounded. Erik showed up on-​time with 2 older, but very strong, fast, and professional movers. The movers packed up our stuff well, worked quickly, and did not damage any of our goods. Unlike another Hawaii company I have moved with in the past, the Wurlitzer movers really seemed like pros.
Best of all, Erik gave me an all-​inclusive honest quote of how much it would take to do the job, and stuck to it. Having heard a lot of moving horror stories, I know that honesty is definitely a plus in the moving industry.
If I ever need to do another Hawaii move, I will definitely go with Wurlitzer.

I had the pleasure of seeing the crew from Wurlitzer Moving in action. The crew leader had 40 years of moving experience. These guys know what they are doing. They were very respectful of making sure that the treshold wasn’t damaged when moving in the big stuff. They were extremely polite and totally professional.
