Yolo Transfer – You Only Live Once!

We had the pleasure of working with Yolo Transfer last month when we moved from a small rental into our first home in Davis. They were on-​time, efficient, helpful, friendly, and did a tremendous job not only taking care of our belongings but offering their expertise. For example, they suggested we add felt adhesive to the feet of furniture that would be placed on our brand new wood floor — as obvious as it seems, between closing on a house and packing I didn’t think of that. Not only did they make this suggestion, they continued to unpack other rooms while my husband ran out and picked up the felt. They were so patient when I had second thoughts about where furniture should go, and did their best to work around my indecisiveness. They brought 5 wardrobes for us to borrow at no cost, which saved us so much time packing and organizing. They were careful about not damaging walls or door frames, and carefully loaded our belongings into their truck. I would use them in a heartbeat for future moves and give them my highest recommendation.

Since 1996 I have been involved with moving a 500 employee company, 30 employee company, and 2 single family homes using Yolo Transfer. The first time, we used them unintentionally via another big name mover in the area that outsources Yolo for their VIP clients. My latest office move went off without a hitch and they came in at 50% of the quotes from 3 other reputable movers! We took a lot of photos of the move in 1996 and laid them out on the counter to show Yolo during our move-​out this year. Amazingly, one of the guys moving us in 2015 was in the pictures in 1996! That says a lot about a moving company and the type of employees they have.

We had Yolo Transfer move us from Davis to Oakland, and I have to say they are the best movers I’ve worked with so far. They are friendly, courteous, and professional. They came right on time, and were highly efficient — they were even ahead of schedule — wow! It was a fairly hassle-​free move, especially considering the fact that they had to come to day before to pack us up, finish packing the next morning, and then move our stuff 75 miles!
We asked that they leave some things at the house so that we could stay the night before the move (rather than going to a hotel), and it went off without a hitch! I particularly appreciate that, on the day before the move, they were able to pack the boxes into the truck rather than leaving stacks and stacks of boxes in the house. A really great experience, and pricing was reasonable — highly recommend them!
