Moving within California

Moving your household can be stressful, time consuming and full of anxiety-inducing unknowns. Add an intrastate move, one where maybe you’re moving sight unseen or aren’t very familiar with the area and there’s a whole other layer of complexity. Many people don’t do these moves very often, so they have to learn as they go about coordinating delivery schedules and in what order to pack items. These big and little details can often derail a person’s moving plans and create a miserable experience for everyone involved. All the blogs and pinterest checklists and advise from friends about moving can still only help you plan and execute your move so much.

One Stop Moving & Storage Inc. is a team of dedicated moving experts that has been planning, coordinating and executing moves from San Diego within California for over a decade and is ready to help you in every aspect of your move. Our experience in moving between the two areas is unrivaled and detailed down to the many different climate change issues that come up during different times of the year and the time zone differences (California doesn’t recognize day light savings so don’t forget to factor that in when scheduling deliveries and appointments!)

Making Your Move Effortless

When you chose One Stop Moving & Storage Inc. to take care of your move from San Diego, you’ll be assigned a personalize moving coordinator that will be available to you leading up to, during and after your move. Your personalize move coordinator will walk you through everything you need to know and do to make your move a success. Have pets and don’t know how to move them? What about living plants that need to be watered every day? What if you have a gap of time between your pick up and delivery dates and don’t know if you should store your items in San Diego or any other city in California? What should you pack for your first and second day of the move? All of these details and more are discussed with you over the course of your move.

So now you’ve planned your move and understand the next steps, now One Stop Moving & Storage Inc. will do all the work for you! Well, we don’t pack and ship humans so you’ll need to get yourself to your destination… but everything other than that! Allow our packing team to wrap and pack your items to prevent breakage and damage and to maximize organization while you’re unpacking. Our labeling system ensures you won’t be playing the ‘where’s that thing?’ game for months after your move. And our transportation system will ensure the safest space for your items during the move.

Customer Service You Can Count On Before, During and After Your Move!

Moving is often tied to large life changes (a new job, marriage, new house, birth of children, divorce, death, etc) so it’s no surprise that moving is associated with stress and anxiety. Here are some ways we try to reduce that stress:

We keep the lines of communication open with 24/7 call support before, during and after your moving day to answer any questions and provide you with support.
Our knowledgeable and friendly employees will provide you with packing and moving tips and tricks. We can provide these either over the phone or we can send you printable materials via email.
Your moving crew will communicate with you on their way to your home in the morning, periodically and frequently throughout the day, and at the end of the day to make sure all of your needs were met.
We utilize one of the top-rated 3rd party insurance companies to expedite claims services.
The easy and efficient claims process removes the runaround and ambiguity of your status and what you can expect. Our insurance compensation is aligned with the State of California and the Bureau of Household Goods and Services.

Packing & Packers

One of the biggest and most time consuming challenges of moving is packing your belongings. You want your possessions to be packed with care so that they will arrive to your new destination the same way they left. Our professional packers are trained to pack all of your items in a timely manner by using the top of the line packing materials and excellent organization skills. This includes your most fragile and valuable items such as pianos, glass items, and antiques. One Stop Moving & Storage offers you the peace of mind of knowing that your valuables will be safe and secure on the way to your new home. We offer a full range of packing services. Whether you need all of your items packed or partial packing services, we are here to get the job done.

Our Packers, What You Can Expect

Our moving team will meet with you prior to your move to assist you in your moving preparation. This will ensure a quicker and more efficient move. We will discuss whether you need a complete packing service or a partial packing service. Don’t forget that we offer various packing supplies such as boxes, blankets, paper pads, custom crating, shrink wrap, bubble wrap, as well as mattress bags and boxes. We offer many box sizes, from wardrobe boxes to boxes large enough to pack lamps or television sets. We will strategically plan which boxes you should have immediately upon the arrival of your new destination. Boxes that hold bathroom items, towels, and bedding will be readily available so you begin to settle into your new home with ease.

Local Moving Questions

How do moving companies charge for local moves?

All moving companies in California are required to charge customers based on the Public Utility Commission’s equation, which is: (Loading+Unloading+(Drive time x 2).

Movers start charging when they arrive at your house.
Double drive time: If it takes the movers 15 minutes to drive from your old house to your new house, they will charge 30 minutes of drive time.
Standard rates apply as the movers unload the truck and will stop charging when all items are off of the truck (unless the customer would like the movers to continue to work on arranging and assembling furniture).
Here are some common charges and rules that most moving companies apply themselves:
Fuel rates apply.
Packing materials are not included and are sold separately.
A 4 hour minimum for each job (it is uncommon for moving companies to move ‘one off’ items like refrigerators or bed room sets).
After the minimum hours have been met, most moving companies charge in 15 minute increments.

Do I need a visual estimate for my move?

For the consumer’s protection, it is against the law for moving companies to provide an estimated time or cost for your move without seeing the items that are being moved. Moving companies can only give hourly rates and fees over the phone.

For this reason, we offer visual estimates. This is when a professional estimator comes to your house for about 15 minutes and views the items and/or space that you are moving. The estimator will discuss the moving process and what you can expect and ask you questions about your moving timeline and constraints. You will receive a written estimate at that time, which is a very helpful tool when shopping around for moving companies. This written estimate is not a contract for the exact time frame and cost of the move, but rather an estimate based on years of experience in the industry.

When the movers arrive on the day of the move, they will review the written estimate with the customer and based on what they see that day they will let the customer know if they can expect the move to take significantly longer or shorter than previously estimated. The majority of the time there is very little difference between the written estimate and the actual time and cost. When there are significant variances it is typically due to one of the following:

Customers end up moving or discarding items after the visual estimate
The customer has asked for a larger or smaller moving crew than what the visual estimate recommends
Hidden or forgotten rooms/spaces were not included or discussed during the visual estimate, such as attics, extra storage units, sheds in the backyard, etc

Do I pay before or after my move?

You should never be asked to pay in-full for moving services prior to the move. Most moving companies will hold a credit card number to reserve your moving date, and it is common to have a small deposit if it is a larger, long distance or same day move.

Our company will hold a credit card to hold your moving date and will charge a $100 cancellation fee if the move is cancelled within 7 days of the move. There is no date to change the date or time of the move though (we know how seamless and predictable escrow and other moving factors can be). Once the movers arrive at your house or business, the foreman will review the hourly rates or written visual estimate (if there is one) with the customer. When the move is almost complete, the foreman will review the hours worked and fees with the customer again and then ask for payment.

Do I need to tip the movers?

If they went above and beyond: Helped assemble furniture, handled your items with extra care, or dealt with tricky moving conditions.
Amount: Typically, $20-$50 per mover for a half-day job or $50-$100 per mover for a full-day job. Alternatively, you could tip a percentage of the total cost, usually around 10-15%.
Cash: Cash is often the preferred method, but some companies may allow you to tip via card.

Offering refreshments and snacks is also a nice gesture, especially on a long, tiring day.

Do I need to empty my dresser/file cabinet?

This is the most common question.

Dresser

if your dresser is made out of solid wood, then NO, you can leave clothes and light items in it. if your dresser is made out of Prestwood, then YES, please remove all items.

File Cabinet

Yes! please remove all items from file cabinet

What items will I need for the day of /after my move?

Here are the items that we recommend customers prepare for themselves and their family for the day of the move and the day after. Having these items at the ready will help your moving experience go smoothly and allow you the proper time to unpack the rest of your items. If you don’t have room in your car, you can pack all of this in a few boxes and give to your moving crew to put on the truck last. They will give this box to you first when you get to your new home so you can get (somewhat) settled.
