A moving company built by people who got moved badly first.

We started in a 400 sq-ft yard in DTLA in 2014 because we kept hearing the same horror stories — surprise fees, broken furniture, no-shows. Twelve years and 16,923 reviews later, we still answer the phone ourselves.

Our story

Twelve years, one promise.

In 2014, ABC Movers was three friends, one box truck, and an old shipping container in the Arts District. The pitch was simple: do what other movers don't — show up on time, quote honestly, don't break things, and answer when the customer texts.

It turned out enough people wanted that to keep us busy. By 2018 we had three trucks. By 2020, a 90007 yard. By 2023, branches in San Diego, Oakland, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and Riverside.

Today we're 84 people. Same promise. The only thing that's changed is we now have barcodes for the boxes.

The team

Real names. Real phones.

Every branch is run by a named person — not a call center. When you text a dispatcher, you're texting them directly.
