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.

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.

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.

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.

They will not disappoint.
Once again, they delivered exceptional service. They were prompt, efficient, and took good care of our belongings. The crew was personable, professional, and easy to work with. They made moving a smooth and stress-free process. We have made several referrals to friends and family and will continue to refer new business to this company. We highly recommend their services. They will not disappoint.

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!

This company was amazing right from the first phone call.
This company was amazing right from the first phone call. Then on moving day, Michael and Key arrived. They were two of the sweetest, kindest people I've met in a long time. They were very hardworking, careful with all of our things and were very sensitive to me and quick to help with anything I needed. I will use this company again if I need help with heavy lifting. They were by far the best movers we've ever used. I'm so grateful for them!!!

I highly recommend them!
I used West Coast Express Moving to move in La to a storage and then to Boston. I had the best experience ever with them. I worked with Nelson, Angel, Stephen and Alejandra. They are very reliable, helpful and hardworking. They utilize their time efficiently and are smart packers. I highly recommend them!
