Bait and Switch
My son was moving from a single apt in N Hollywood to Salem Oregon for a new job. I contacted several movers and told them the size of the move, when and where we were going. West Coast sent us paperwork to list all of the items and the number of boxes we were transporting, which we did. They gave us the estimate which was very good and told me it was because they had a load going up already so it would be cheaper than the others if we were flexible on the date. We were and after seeing the estimate we paid our deposit. When the mover arrived he immediately made us pay a $500 fee for shuttle which we had not agreed to. He said pay or we will not transport. Then he re-estimated the load. We had not added a single thing to the load. He agreed we had not but told us that it was more than they had estimated in sq. ft. and and the price was now triple the original estimate. Over $5000. I contacted the company and they said basically to bad. Yes we miscalculated but you either pay it or we will only take half of your load. The driver said he would put half of it in the street If we didn't pay for the whole thing. They had already loaded it. I feel this is a case of bait and switch and I will be taking them to court or arbitration. Do not trust their estimates, especially Randy Fox. They are either very bad at their job or start out with the intent of scamming you. I do not know which.

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.

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.

highly recommend their services to anyone in need of an stress-free move
They were incredibly accommodating, even on short notice, and offered an outstanding price. The movers were professional, efficient, and respectful. They not only handled everything with care but also assembled my bed seamlessly—all in a fast and organized manner. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend their services to anyone in need of an stress-free move!

Highly recommend!
The best movers! We moved neighborhoods within DC and checked a few other movers - Anytime was half the price of some of the other quotes so we went with them. They came on time and were SO efficient and knowledgeable - they took amazing care of our things, wrapping even tiny bits of our furniture we forgot about. Moving is always stressful but we felt so calmed by how professional and helpful West Coast Express Moving were. Highly recommend!

Timely, very efficient
Timely, very efficient, handled my things with utmost care - both loading and unloading. Removed all the tape to make unpacking easier and placed things where they are supposed to go. I think this was the easiest and least exhausting move I ever had!

Move from Ventura to Denver (Worst Moving Company in the USA)
I had a very bad experience with West Coast Express Moving and would strongly caution others before booking with them. My pickup was confirmed for February 23rd between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM by Michael Edwards (Senior Consultant). The moving crew never showed up, and I received no advance notice that they were not coming. After reaching out, their driver Miguel told me he was on another job and would not be able to arrive until February 25th, which completely contradicted the confirmed date I was given. I then spoke with Carlos F., their Relocation Services Specialist, who initially told me he could have a driver “tomorrow.” Shortly after, that changed to “maybe tonight.” The constant shifting of timelines and lack of clear communication made it impossible to trust what they were saying. Because of this situation, I had to scramble to find another moving company at the last minute, which caused unnecessary stress during an already difficult relocation. The biggest issue was the lack of reliability and inconsistent information. If a company cannot honor confirmed pickup times or communicate honestly when there is a problem, it puts customers in a very difficult position. Based on my experience, I would recommend that anyone considering this company to find another moving company

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.

everything was protected, and not a single item was damaged.
On moving day, three movers arrived right on time, each introduced themselves, shook my hand, and got straight to work. No wasted time, no standing around. Just focused, efficient teamwork. They were friendly, easygoing, and clearly knew what they were doing. Furniture was dismantled and reassembled perfectly, everything was protected, and not a single item was damaged.
