CA - NY Express cross country movers SF

CA - NY Express made our big move much less stressful. They were flexible, very communicative, and personable. The rates were extremely reasonable compared to other moving options like PODS or U-Boxes, considering they help you move/load. Everyone we worked with from the team were extremely nice, knowing that we were already worrying about so many other things that come with cross-country relocation! We felt very taken care of and would definitely recommend their services!

I want to take a minute to review CA - NY Express. I was *nervous* about this move - to say the least - because of some reviews I'd read here. So I am happy to be writing this, as my anxiety is finally going down, because the move really went perfectly for me.

My pick-up in NYC was June 25, 2024 and my things were moved into my new place in Oakland, CA on July 6, 2024 (though they were ready to come as early as July 2nd - I was the reason for the delay). I did a video walk-through with Bob who gave what was ultimately a very accurate assessment of the size of my move (about a one-bedroom-apartment worth of stuff, minus a tv or any technology. It was mostly furniture [two couches, a bed, bookshelves and boxes and boxes of books and clothes]). I did all of the packing myself. When my things were in transit between NY and CA I got a daily e-mail letting me know where in the country the truck was.

Both teams of movers - on the Manhattan side and on the Oakland side - were great to work with. Friendly, fast, super-careful with my things. They wrapped the living daylights out of my stuff. Everything arrived (they encouraged me to do the inventory myself, which was good because it gave me something to do) and now that I have unpacked everything I can say nothing was damaged.

Moving across country is stressful, and I found the process of trying to pick reliable movers to be incredibly so. It's expensive no matter which way you cut it. But this organization is transparent about their pricing, responsive to e-mails, friendly and they do what they say they will do. FIVE stars.

Great experience. Professional service from packing to delivery. Recommend!

They had the fastest and best communication by FAR (Ron is really on top of email which was amazing).
They also had some of the best rates per cubic foot (other companies that had lower overall quotes just lowballed the cubic footage needed, even though their rate was actually higher). CA/NY Express also charged based on volume instead of weight, which made it way easier to estimate our actual cost, and they even allow you to update your inventory up to to a few days in advance so we were able to reduce our initial estimate. The move itself was seamless. Done in about 2 hours on each end, and nothing broke! Can't ask for much more!

Movers who packed my things up in NY were great. I was also very impressed with how clear everything was, how fast the move coordinator Eric was with getting back to me, and how accommodating he was with all of my questions. (Truly, give Eric a raise, he was great.) The price point was just right, too, and extremely transparent.
