Born Moving Info | Compare Moving Quotes

Recently used Born for a one bedroom move from a residence to 1 bedroom apartment in San Ramon. Crew did fabulous job and packaging. Happy with everything but the price. I thought Duane quoted $155 an hour when actually he said it was $355 an hour. Kind of a big misunderstanding. Ended up being $2239 to move less than 2 miles for a 1 bedroom,. was expecting about a $1000. Recommendations to others make sure you get firm quote up front.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! They are not even worth 1 star. They are the worst at packing your belongings and loading into PODS. Most of our furniture, frames, TVs, lamps, gym equipment were damaged/bent/scratched due to them not properly wrapping the items and loading into the storage containers. They put boxes that were marked fragile on the very bottom of the stack. Our treadmill monitor, TV, Elliptical, Pelotons, reformer, rowing machine? dressers (there are too many items to list!) are scratched, bent and/or broken. We have pictures to prove this is true! Also, there are hidden fee. Make sure you get a quote. We were quoted $185 per hour for 4 workers to help us load the PODS and when we asked for help with packing, nothing was mentioned about the price changing. Duane ended up charging us $455 PER HOUR!!! BTW, this also included their drive time from Hayward to San Jose. Why should they charge customers that much to sit in their truck to drive to/from when they are not loading and/or packing? We also threw away a lot of our food items and they spent that time at $455 per hour to go through our food to take it home with them. They are not professional movers and I will tell everyone I know in the Bay Area to not use them and to also spread the word to all their family and friends. It is truly frustrating and makes me angry that a company who does this for a living is still in business considering the way they handled our belongings. THIS WAS NOT WORTH THE $16,795.00!!!

We were give an estimate for three guys to break down,wrap and reassemble our 5 rooms of furniture. Loading and unloading was handled with care. Antique furniture was handled with extra care(just make sure to tell them). They did a great job,thank you. Jose ,Alex and Kevin. Alittle pricy but at 62yrs, we'll worth the money.

Horrible, dishonest owner (Duane Fagan). Initial quote was $225/hr. Total in the end was more than double! Although bed was taken apart prior to movers showing up, they wasted time breaking down further. Spent a lot of time wrapping items although they were told repeatedly that it was not necessary. Once items were in the truck, received a call from the owner stating the driver locked keys in the truck (more time delay). Once movers completed job, Duane showed up and started charging for truck rental, distance/time to and from San Leandro, etc. Added fees were insane! If you decide to use this company despite the similar negative complaints, make sure you have a signed estimate of ALL fees before you allow this crook to move your stuff!

My boxes were well packed and shipped from the West Coast to the East Coast and nothing broke. I'm very impressed with this moving company and I would definitely use them again
