Grizzly Moving

I’m not exaggerating when I say this was the worst experience I’ve had with any company… ever!
Their «no hidden fees» is a joke as they charged me for multiple «extras». I was moving several items from one house to another, and in between houses, the movers went and got a cup of coffee and were gone for an hour, of which they claimed they were in traffic which I know not to be true since I took the EXACT same route as them at the EXACT same time and got there in 10 minutes. This wouldn’t have upset me at all (hey, we’re all entitled to a break) if they hadn’t charged me for the full hour!
And to top it all off, they never finished the job! They said they would disassemble and reassemble multiple items, and then refused to do it without me offering them a $ 100 tip under the table. This is after the job which I was promised would come to $ 300 ended up costing me $ 700. I attempted to contact the owner Alex multiple times via email and phone and he has suddenly disappeared and refuses to get back to me.
Trust me when I say, stay as far away from this company as possible!!!

If I could rate this company negative 100 stars I would! I am typing this as I sit here waiting around for other movers to show up since grizzly movers never did!
I scheduled the move a week ago, spoke to Alex & he confirmed the «no hidden fee» flat hourly rate move for today at 9 AM, at a point he even offered 8 AM but I wanted to be courteous to my neighbors.
He said I’d get an email confirmation with all of the details discussed after booking, I never did that day so I called to confirm they had the right email address, he confirmed he did but haven’t gotten around to it & that he would email it in the next couple of days.
Yesterday (day before my move) I called again to confirm as I hadn’t received any email, once again Alex confirmed for today @ 9:00 AM.
Today 9 AM rolls by and nothing I try calling him and no answer, I left messages asking for him to call me in the case I needed to book an alternative moving company, no return call. We called over 10 times and nothing.
Then I had to go around on Craigslist searching for moving companies and hoping they were not booked, which most were. Finally we found one and thank goodness, we are waiting on them to show up.
DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY, THEY ARE NOT RELIABLE AND A JOKE.
I AM ASSUMING THE GOOD REVIEWS ARE PROBABLY THEIR OWN FRIENDS.
I have moved over 10 times and have never experienced anything remotely close to this with movers.
BEWARE OF ALEX AND GRIZZLY MOVERS!!! SCAM!

Carlos and his crew came to Moorpark, to move us. The crew was very professional. They took great care in loading our possessions. I would highly recommend these men to move you.

These guys are the BEST,
I called and was given the information I needed to set up my move, I asked to do this on a Holiday (Memorial day) weekend and they were happy to do so, at the same rate they quoted. I then had to call them back a couple of weeks later to move some things again, this time into a storage unit in Los Feliz (from Hollywood), again they showed up when promised and got everything moved within the 3 hour window.
After living in my temporary space for about a month, I was ready to move into my new apartment, I emailed these guys and of course, they were ready to help! They even showed up early!
I was even able to set up my next move, and pay in advance to pickup the things from my storage unit and even got a REDUCED rate!
I will continue to use this company when needed and I highly recommend them for your next move, big or small!
THANK YOU GRIZZLY MOVING! YOU guys ROCK!

Not honest pricing. Does not state that they have a $ 230 minimum, but also says the $ 55 hour, which equals $ 165 does not apply. He says they cannot put everything in their ad, but they have room for the stupid teddy bear graphic.
When I challenged him on this, he hung up on me. I WOULD STAY AWAY!

Worst experience ever! Showed up 2 ½ hours late and didn’t finish till 10pm! They arrived with a truck that was almost filled and couldn’t fit all our furniture on the truck! They ended up tying our couch and other items to the back of their truck. We had to leave behind several expensive items because they didn’t have room and our cars were already full for our trip across country. Not to mention, they charged us almost $ 1000 more than quoted. Now it’s been exactly 14 days since they picked up our furniture and they still can’t tell us when it will be delivered! They won’t return my calls and we have no idea when we will receive our furniture!!! Worst moving company ever!

Very nice hard-​working men. I had a lot of stuff and didn’t have time to pack it all into boxes, movers graciously handled it all with no damage. Also they didn’t complain when it took longer than expected. Would definitely call again.

On the day I was scheduled to move out of my studio apartment, it happened to full on downpour as the team of two rolled up in their U-​Haul. Max and Alex moved my belongings in a total of about 3 hours and handled everything with care. The two were very nice and even helped me rearrange some of the furniture left in the apartment, courtesy of my landlord. They also drove all the way back the West Hollywood a day later to return a parking permit that was lent to avoid tickets during the moving process. I commend their efforts as they ended up moving everything in a timely manner and in such horrid weather conditions.
The only aspect about the service that could have been improved upon was that I was not charged as originally quoted and was upsold upon cutting the check. That being said I will definitely work with Max and Alex in the future under the condition that additional charges must be mentioned upfront, before services take place.
Kk, happy with the move and with the new apartment in Brentwood!

STAY AWAY! Absolutely HORRID! They upsold the hell out of me when moving day came. They quoted me $ 1900.00. I called back and emailed with Zoe several times confirming the price, etc. When the movers got there, they said they charge for wrapping my stuff in blankets, boxes, etc. $ 1900 became $ 3424 when the move was all done!
They sublet out as well. My stuff got here yesterday and most of the boxes were torn into and extremely damaged.
Grizzly made my move so stressful — moving is stressful enough without the moving company ripping you off!
DO NOT use Grizzly.

These guys were awesome. I was alittle hesitant because of their Unilocal review but they are legit. They arrived at my place on time and was able to load my studio in under an hour. They even took my old furniture to donate to good will for free! Will definitely use these guys in the future. Great price. 55/​hr for 2 guys with a minimum of 3 hours.

A couple months ago I unexpectedly had to move, and a friend recommended me to use Grizzly Moving. This was an excellent decision to move so many large items quickly. Two Russian guys showed up with their moving truck, packing materials, and bubble wrap. Flashbacks of Hans and Franz flittered through my mind and scenes of «We are here to pump you up,» kept racing through my mind. I didn’t have to worry about a thing, except point to tell them what to move. Their rates were very reasonable (about $ 60 an hour) compared to what other companies were quoting me. When all of my major items finally made it to my new home in West Hollywood, they even helped assemble my bed frame.
Other companies charge extra for packing materials and the UHaul, but they did not. Your time starts being charged when they arrive at your place.
The two guys were so patient, even with my former not-​so-​nice neighbors in the Hollywood Hills who were threatening to call the cops on them for parking their UHaul outside my place on our tiny horse and buggy street. What even blew my mind more is they actually carried everything down the street, not even parking right outside my home on my tiny street, so not to block any cars.
I gave them a $ 40 tip after 4 hours of hard labor. Not only were the two guys so nice and professional, they did an excellent job making sure everything was packed in the truck correctly and nothing was broken. I highly recommend their service for anyone planing to move in the LA area. My friends have already used their services several times, and everyone has moved with less of a headache. We are all so thrilled we discovered their moving company.

Had I read the previous reviews I would have obviously never used grizzly moving. However, I was desperate for a moving service, called them the day before from a craigslist ad and was immediately turned on by their simple fee structure, responsiveness, and flexibility. Less than 24 hours after my initial call, I met them at my storage unit in Santa Monica. They were on time and I was twenty minutes late. They had a u-​haul truck which was fine. They were two men and they were ready to work. Though neither spoke great English, we communicated just fine and they made up for it with focus, care, and friendly smiles. We finished the whole job of emptying the storage unit, driving to the new location twelve miles away in Los Angeles and unloading into my new apartment in just over two hours. I would definitely use this service again and recommend it to my friends and colleagues. When I paid them the rate fee was just as I had been told. What more could I ask for from a moving company? Thank you, Max and Andrei for doing the heavy lifting, and Alex for being so helpful on the phone and providing me with the service.

RIP OFF, RIP OFF, RIP OFF!!! This moving company is the absolute worst company I have ever hired in the LA area. If you go to their Facebook page, they have a lot of positive BS reviews, but clearly they are all their close friends.
First thing first, they were 8-​hours late. My appointment, which I made 2 weeks prior, was at 9 AM. I waited till around 10, then called. They acted like they didn’t even know I was scheduled that day. They said they would be there at 2, 3 came around and nothing. Finally, around 6PM, the roll up in a U-​haul. Moving companies are rarely on time, so I was pissed, but whatever about it.
I had a 1 bedroom apartment with extremely small amount of «stuff» and I was moving from one side of my complex to the other. I know, stupid right? I figured I could hire a company and make the move in 2 to 3 hours instead of wasting my whole day and bothering friends to help.
Hahahaha 3 hours later, they finally got the truck loaded up. OMG, I was so annoyed. They would carry something out to the truck, then hang out for 10 minutes or so, then come back in for more. A year prior, I moved from DT LA, 12^th floor to North Hollywood, and they did it in 5 hours total, including the 20 minute drive.
One they loaded the truck, they pulled it over to the other side of the complex, and chilled for a minute. They finally started carry stuff up to the new place, and it was absolutely obvious they were intentionally dragging their feet and eating up the clock.
They took one trip up, and I was over the obvious crooked method of making money. Frustrated as hell, my boyfriend and I started unloading the truck. We ended up unloading the entire truck, brought everything to the elevator, then they took it in the apartment from there. They were so slow, that once we unloaded the truck, we then started helping them take in the rest of the stuff.
I am more than understanding, but it was clear that these guys were being crooks and intentionally dragging their feet.
Finally, after finishing up, 6 hours later, he prepared the bill. Their No Hidden Fees Policy, BS! They charged me for everything! Including even for paying via check instead of cash.
Annoyed as hell, I paid. The next day, we began to unpack and noticed the ripped my white leather couch and scarred my bed all to hell. I immediately emailed and called to report the issues and advised that I wanted to file an insurance claim. The guy have me a complete run around and then sent me a questionnaire that he created. I replied with my responses and nothing!
They were a complete rip off! Stay away from these crooks!!!

After email confirmation of my reservation the week prior, they informed me at 11pm the night before my 9am move that ‘all their trucks have been booked for tomorrow’. This is only after I emailed them to see if I could push the move back an hour. Thank god I did that, otherwise they would have just not shown up. Unprofessional and disorganized, clearly don’t care about customer service.

Rip off! Unprofessional and Poor Customer Service. Stay away
I hired grizzly moving for my move and was utterly disappointed by the hidden charges. Business responds only till you use the service and no response thereafter.
They arrived with a total of 5 BOXES to move and pack my whole 1 bedroom apartment. and charged 44 $ for these 5 boxes on top of hourly costs. The worst part is that there website says no hidden fees but they will make your bill twice as much as that of hourly costs.
I sent them an email to explain the costs but no response. Would not recommend using them.
