West Coast Express Moving – ZERO STARS
This is hands down the worst company I have ever dealt with. If you value your sanity, your money, and your belongings, do not hire West Coast Express Moving or Chiarella Transportation and Relocation Inc. Here’s what happened: • They picked up my mother’s items on May 2, 2025. We didn’t see her belongings again until early September. Four months! • We were originally promised delivery by June 4. Then, after the fact, they claimed they had “30 days from that date” to deliver. Total bait and switch. • They doubled the charges after her things were already on the truck, leaving us no choice but to pay under pressure. • They rarely answered phones or emails, and when they did, they were dismissive, rude, and dishonest. • We caught them in multiple lies about delivery dates. Calls were hung up on, texts ignored, emails never returned. This company operates with zero integrity. They lie, they dodge responsibility, they extort more money mid-move, and they treat customers with absolute disrespect. Save yourself the nightmare—do not use West Coast Express Moving under any circumstances. I wouldn’t trust them to move a single box across the street.

Worst Experience Ever
Got the ole bait and switch with this company. Salesman Mike assured me every step of the way. Sent him detailed list AND video of every item going, and we even eliminated a bunch after the fact. Got a price that seemed reasonable, until they showed up. Loaded less than half the truck they brought and informed us we had reached our allotted space. Price tripled at that point from 5k to 15k. Was told by salesman how their drivers would be there all the way, only to discover it was to be unloaded into a semi and placed on the message boards for the lowest bidder " we handle all your packing and come with everything" they came with not a single box and then charged us for having to pack.....and drove into town to get boxes. I would have saved money selling it all and using that 15k to start over. What a joke. I will be down rating them everywhere I can and reporting them to bbb. Delivery? Who knows but won't improve this horrible experience. I trusted a supposed "family company". They are about as much family as a pile of stones.

Great Experience
West Coast Express Moving did a wonderful job moving me for my new job to Birmingham AL. Randy in the reservations department was a total professional. Last minute move and it was done quickly and efficiently. Great Job

The team was professional
The team was professional, efficient, and handled my belongings with care. They arrived on time, worked quickly without cutting corners, and made the entire process stress-free. I highly recommend them for a smooth and reliable moving experience!

Would highly recommend.
Not only they were extremely efficient and careful with the packing and loading of our stuff, they were also very responsive to any issue that arose. For example, our patio floor was stained by a grill that was tilted, and they sent a company to do a power wash within a week of the move to ensure all was resolved. Would highly recommend.

Recommend this company hands down!
I’ve experienced many moving companies and these guys were by far the best. From professionalism, communication, coordination, efficiency, our crew (led by Russ) was fantastic! We were not present at the delivery location, but they communicated their progress with us, sending us picture and time updates which really gave us peace of mind. Recommend this company hands down!

very polite, courteous, and hard working.
4 young men from West Coast Express Moving just finished unloading our furniture. They loaded it all this morning and early afternoon and then unloaded it all, being sure to ask where each piece of furniture was to be placed. All 4 were very polite, courteous, and hard working. I would strongly recommend West Coast Express Moving for anyone who wants to save their backs when when moving heavy furniture.

Business Review: West Coast Movers
As someone who coordinates logistics and outreach for a nonprofit, I understand the importance of clear communication and timely service—especially during major life transitions. My experience with West Coast Movers has been deeply disappointing and disruptive. They picked up my household items on July 25, 2025, and as of today, I have still not received my belongings. Despite multiple attempts to contact the company, I’ve received no meaningful response, no updates, and no resolution. My emails and calls have been ignored, leaving me in the dark for weeks. Because of this delay, I’ve had to purchase clothing, bedding, and essential household goods just to get by. This has created a financial and emotional strain that no customer should have to endure—especially when the issue stems from poor service and a lack of accountability. The customer service has been nonexistent, and I’ve had to take on the burden of drafting formal communications and documenting the impact myself. This experience has not only delayed my ability to resume work, but it has also undermined the trust I placed in this company. West Coast Movers must do better. Transparency, empathy, and follow-through are not optional—they’re the foundation of any service-based business. I hope they take this feedback seriously and make the changes necessary to prevent others from going through what I did.
