Long-distance move

Los Angeles → Bay Area
“Thunderhorse Movers & Packers was recommended by a close friend who has used them over 10+ years. They moved me from Los Angeles to the Bay area. Everything was seamless. Jorge was hands on and helped to add packers last minute to help me. Working with Joshua and Harold was great. The loading into the truck took less time than anticipated and they were able to connect me with someone locally to help with three extra days of unpacking and organizing. I would recommend them - they were reliable and they made everything easy.”

Long distance · Full packing & unpacking
“They carefully packed ALL of my belongings and wrapped everything with such care. Upon arrival to my new apartment (Santa Monica to Tempe, AZ) they began to work through the night unpacking and putting everything away just as it was. I was super impressed with the break down and reconfiguration of my bedroom set up.”
