Cross country move

Our sales consultant John Mendes was wonderful at coordinating with us on a tight timeline for moving <1 week out, from Maryland to California. We had two pick up locations and one drop off location, everything was handled well. We got texts throughout the whole trip over. Would recommend.

- hired this team for a long move from Los Angeles to Dallas, Texas, and they exceeded every expectation I had. Their communication was clear from start to finish, pricing was transparent with no hidden fees, and they made the entire process feel easy and stress free. The crew handled my furniture with care, offered great packing services, and delivered everything on time without a single issue. If you're looking for long distance movers or a trustworthy interstate moving company, I highly recommend them.

scam artists with friendly movers

Had really nice movers, though they did damage a painting slightly. The real issue is that they did not stick to their "binding estimate" even remotely, it came in about 40% higher. I got a discount over the phone due to the estimate being so wrong, but then they tried to send me a contract with the old price and no discount. The sales agent I was working with was pretty unresponsive throughout and eventually seems to have quit or been fired, so then I was talking with a new person who was not aware of the discount we had agreed to on the phone. At this point my stuff is held completely hostage and they were applying high pressure sales tactics to get me to sign the new price or they would start charging me daily fees.

They did not uphold to their own Standard Services

They did not uphold to the contract and deliver to their Standard Service. In the beginning they were very polite and professional. Very responsive and quick. Once I signed the contract and they had their payment they completely changed. The move specialist hung up the phone on me when I was asking questions about the delivery and was very rude. They may need to check on their employees because they don’t seem like they are doing okay if that is how they are speaking with a customer.
When the movers arrived to deliver they would not move our items to where we wanted them and said they would only leave them in the garage. They wouldn’t even unpack the items listed in their standard services and remove the packing material. Complete scam or spiteful employee that directed the field team not to provide the service in the contract. They already had my money so what do they care. DO NOT RECOMMEND and they should be investigated.

Hello,

Thank you for your review. As you were informed by our sales agent, our role was to solely handle the domestic portion of your move. This policy is in place for both liability reasons and because we did not pack or disassemble your items initially. We understand your frustration and appreciate your review nonetheless.

Respectfully,
Management

I had my vehicle shipped from Nevada to…

I had my vehicle shipped from Nevada to New York using ECWC Express The whole process went smoothly as planned. Everyone that was involved with my shipment was communicative and helpful. I have shipped vehicles with other carriers in the past but East Coast West Coast Shippers is by far the best and most reliable out of them all. There were no delays & their estimated delivery date was spot on. I had the pleasure of being present when my vehicle was collected and dropped off. It was the same driver that handled my vehicle with extreme care. I highly recommend this company and I will definitely return to them if I need vehicle shipping again.

I shipped my car 2019 Chevy Malibu from…

I shipped my car 2019 Chevy Malibu from Chicago to Florida. I couldn’t have picked a better company. They assigned for my vehicle be picked up through a company called Mega Load. My vehicle was picked up on August 27th 2021 from Chicago and delivered on September 1st 2021 to Florida which was super fast. My overall experience was amazing . I received my car with no damage and I’ll definitely recommend this company to my family and friends. Thank you guys so very much for making my moving to Florida stress-free. Keep up the good work . P.S. I love the line of communication, every step of the way they made sure they sent me and my fiancé a text about my vehicle so thanks again :)

I am moving from California to…

I am moving from California to Michigan. My Relocation Specialist Charlie, has been so patient and helpful. I adjusted my inventory quite a few times and he was very accommodating and never made me feel like I was bothering him. The movers arrived and were very quick and efficient. Jose was running the show and answered all of my questions and concerns about moving my items cross country. They were all very careful with packing and moving the items. So far, it has been a very pleasant experience. Praying that the delivery will be just as smooth! I will leave an additional review once the furniture arrives!

Upbeat during tough times

Played some music while these guys unloaded and helped pack a few odd shaped items. They were upbeat and fun to work with which means a lot considering what's going on in the world. Calling around they were able to offer one of the best deals with no added pricing or last minute fees. I can't think of a single thing I'd want them to change or an instance I disliked. Everyone handled themselves well.

Unique

East Coast West Coast handled our move in a unique way. They don't have those typical sales shark rates that work against customers. Those hourly, by gas mileage, etc sort of rates. I was quoted a price based on how much I was moving and where I was moving to. Not by the hour. I was also not charged for getting a quote. You'd be surprised at how many places want you to pay for their time before you start doing business with them. They had a great method to the moving madness, which made things much more efficient.

Everything was simplified so not only could I understand the terms, it made more sense. I look at this place as a company that does their best to make sure any stress you have when starting your move doesn't continue.

I wish I had as much energy as this…

I wish I had as much energy as this whole team. During our move they were focused on cleanliness (covid masks and gloves) and were very detailed. Both packing, unpacking and organizing was handled by them. Zero damage at all. Boxes were neatly packed and cushioned with packing materials. From what I saw all the movers were well trained, moving fast with some items and gentle with fragile ones. Labeling, they did it all. I got to be friends with one of the movers, he told me he's been working with them for a few years now. It was a good feeling knowing everything I own was in the hands of a quality company. Instead of one trying to make a quick extra buck, like the rest of them. East Coast, West Coast gets my full recommendation and I honestly don't think I've ever once said that about a moving company.

This moving company really went above…

This moving company really went above and beyond even though they didn't have to. Staff was so helpful. We are a family of 5 and moving across the country in the midst of pandemic is beyond stressful. The movers and phone support staff at ECWCE did a great job helping us stay calm. They were both reassuring and confident. They kept us updated with the truck's arrival time. Their great communication combined with their work ethic really made this move low stress.

This business is excellent!

We recently used ECWCE for a move to a new loft apartment for a new job. We moved out of Chicago and into San Diego and they handle just about everything. I reached out via email late one night and got contacted the very next morning. We circled back after comparing some other options. Although they don't typically price match (we were told) they were willing to beat out one competitor that we were considering. This was the first time my spouse and I had moved out of state together. It felt stressful in the beginning because we just didn't know what to expect from these movers or if there were hidden fees. After meeting them in person and getting updated while things were on the way we really started to realize that they knew what they were doing. It's only natural to have some doubts when first using a company. We have zero doubts anymore. This business is excellent and I don't say that often about services.

Top Notch Movers

Service here was top notch. We had a 4 man team that was very friendly and really put their backs into it. Our family has a lot of large items that have thrown off movers in the past but the crew here packed and moved everything things like champs. We have a 12 ft bookshelf and large vintage couch that we were assuming would be a huge issue moving but they were able to wrap it and get it on the truck without a problem. This move turned out to be much less of a hassle than I had in my mind. Nothing turned up broken, scratched or missing. Best decision ever! Everything got into our new home safely and the movers even helped us arrange furniture.

They were very professional, BUT…

They were very professional and cordial on the phone, and they provided us with a "Binding agreement" after assessing all items we wanted to move. The day of the move (one day before we had to move out, and four days before starting a new out of state job) the movers showed up. Right away, they showed a huge surprise about the household being moved and started calling and talking with their manager in a foreign language.

They then noted that this is more than they calculated initially and therefore went up by >30% of their original quote (no legal).
I attempted to call the manager who initially provided the quote, who mysteriously was not available.

We had no choice other to sign the new agreement, as the option would have been to either legally insist on the original price, and hand them over our livelihoods, or not move that day and find a new company last minute. Both seemed no option. We also needed to store our items in their storage for several months before moving into a new place, and therefore felt hostage to and unable to file a complaint.

In a worse way, we felt taken advantage of the general rip off one experiences here and there. We had no option other than letting them get away with it. When you move into a new state, buy a new home, sell your old one, and deal with new jobs, the last thing you have the bandwidth is to hire a lawyer and fight these fights. And they know it.

Hi Ali Poyan Mehr,

We’re sorry to hear that you weren’t happy with your pickup experience. Our model is clear. We provide a guaranteed quote based on your inventory list. That is to say that when the inventory goes up, the price goes up; conversely, when the inventory goes down, the price goes down. Our charges are specific to what you are moving.

We understand that it’s very difficult to put together a 100% accurate inventory list for a quote. Had that been the case, you wouldn’t have incurred any additional charges on the pickup date. Initially, you provided us with a partial inventory list. On the pickup date, you added the following items to your move: 72 additional boxes, 2 large ladders, 1 Patio Umbrella and Garden tools. With that said, we have to charge you for what you are moving and cannot move anything for free. We did provide a generous discount for those items, but I guess it wasn’t enough. In the end, you had no damages and no missing items. We hope all the best for you on your next move and wouldn’t hesitate to assist you again. Thank you.

Sincerely,
East Coast West Coast Express

Great Service, Honest Pricing

I wasn’t looking forward to this move. I mean who gets excited for the moving part. It’s getting settled in that's exciting. I just kept thinking about that moment to get me through everything. East Coast West Coast made this move a heck of a lot easier without a doubt. For once I didn’t get tricked with some extra charge at the end. Rates were honest, straight forward and zero fine print. Move lasted a few days but everything arrived in great condition. The moving crew did a good job wrapping and packing everything. We moved from Philadelphia to San Diego without any issues whatsoever.
