Ararat Moving

This company is a nightmare! The tools their movers use, are like pocket toys to play with them. They did not use large boxes. Vice versa, they would take each piece of the furniture, including chairs, etc., separately. They would not care about breakable items such as lamps, etc. and did not bother to read the labels, putting those boxes upside-down, covering with heavy furniture above. They would not use the door stoppers, spending time waiting for the neighbors to open the front door, and opening again each door on the way inside. Not only that, but they worked very slow, and spent 9 hours on the same delivery that a Chinese moving company in Daly City completed within two hours two years ago. The Ararat Moving LLC, DBA SF Local Moving company workers did not use lunchtime break, which made them working even slower in the afternoon. The manager, who is possible the company owner, presented as an unstable person. He yelled at me when I said that the movers worked very slowly, and in the middle of the unloading, demanded to immediately pay in cash for the delivery, threatening me to take away the rest of my stuff. I had to call the police to proceed with unloading as I didn’t have enough cash. Because the movers did not properly pack the furniture, they damaged two expensive pieces, an Italian white leather sofa, and a hard wood dining table. The insurance that this company uses would cover only 60 cents per pound, but when I called there, the insurer advised to contact the company manager, which I could not do because of his misbehavior in the past.

Quick response on the quote request. Flexible appointments, great value. We had 2 movers and they were super fast and very polite. They were very careful with our stuff and respectful of both our old and new places. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Observed from the sidelines and a tenant as 2 people from Ararat Movers worked all day moving and packing a truck. Darrell and Rostlun were both respectful, courteous and professional. They were aware of moving large items quietly so as not to disturb other tenants in the building. I would recommend them to do the heavy lifting any day.

Great guys, very hard working.  I have a tight stairway and they were able maneuver most furniture pieces down with their tetris abilities.  The other furniture pieces were quickly dismantled and moved down.
