LAP movers were used on behalf Royal Canadian Van Lines. They packed very quickly. I paid for packing services and they overfilled boxes causing them to fall apart by delivery. They didn't repack boxes I had put stuff in temporarily which were not good enough for moving. I had all my items sorted in a room for packing. The labelling was terrible and they mixed random things into boxes where ever they fit, I can't find where things are without going through 30+ boxes. They were not clear about the long hallway fee ahead of time. They did communicate their arrival date ahead of time, but it was a day ahead of the window I requested. Royal Canadian Van lines movers were frustrated by the heavy boxes.

Wow, these guys are efficient and professional. They told me it would be 4 hours to move a storage shed to my house. It look them less than an hour to get everything pack and ready to roll. They met me at the house and it took them less than 25 minutes to roll it all out. I did not want it out in the house until it gets deep cleaned from storage.10 stars🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

These guys are the best! Competitive pricing. Expert movers. When I tell you they didn't so much as bump a wall on the move out or move in--I'm not even exaggerating. Fast. Efficient. Friendly. Communicative. They moved me out of state and within days my property arrived safely. Every last piece. They also moved a baby grand piano for me...and had the expertise and experience to move such a valuable antique. Highly recommend.

Moving is stressful. The last thing you need is to hire a bad moving company.I had a Great experience with LAP Movers.After seeing hundreds of positive reviews,I called and left them a message.Jose responded back immediately by text and then phone. Throughout the process he patiently answered my laundry list of questions. He made me feel comfortable that I had made the right choice.The cost was fair and actually less than most, especially since they supply tape and loan wardrobe boxes at no extra charge.The movers showed up 10 minutes early on the scheduled date. They carefully checked the boxes I packed, and added tape (free with move) and plastic wrap ( that I supplied), as needed. They took down the TV's and shelves, securely... taping all the screws and bolts to the items, (which was a lifesaver when reinstalling at the destination.) They worked with me in sorting the items going to storage, and those going to the new house.They finished loading right on time.Not one item was scratched or damaged in any way.The only hiccup was their GPS routed them on a road with construction, causing a 20 minute delivery delay.The Manager adjusted the travel charge without issue.I Highly reccomend LAP!👍👍read more

Was seeking a specialized mover that could handle my heavy kitchen appliance (over 600 lbs!) move request and came across LAP. They were quick in responding and I was able to book them the same day. They were equipped with with all the proper tools and ramps making the job look easy. I’m told they move heavy odds/ends, appliances, pianos, safes etc all the time. Not only did their experience and professionalism show, they were careful to ensure my high-end appliance and floors were not damaged. Shout out to Jose and David for taking care of me!

Actually, went with this company twice in one week. First was because I knew I needed help with the refrigerator, washer and dryer, if the VA could be believed, I should have been able to get the rest myself. But after the wonderful experience I had the first time, they were so professional and respectful, it was amazing. The second time they showed up, it was not that I hired a great crew, but they made me feel that I had friends that were helping me. It is just that sometimes the echoes of Afghanistan makes it so that I can not get out of bed in the morning and this company was there for me, thanks!

I used this company for my move and junk removal. I realized I accidently left my expensive pair of airpods in a box that was in the junk pile. I called them and they immediately picked up, facetimed me and went through every pile of junk. They found them and offered to mail them to me. They were very friendly, efficient, on time and more importantly, trust worthy. Highly recommend!

Moving for the First Time?

How Will My Moving Company Protect My Items During the Move?

In the moving industry, companies typically use various materials and techniques to protect your belongings during a move. This includes using padding and blankets to wrap furniture, using wardrobe boxes for clothing, and employing stretch wrap for securing doors and drawers on furniture. The goal is to minimize the risk of damage during transit.

What Insurance Options Do Moving Companies Offer to Cover Lost or Damaged Items?

Moving companies usually offer different levels of moving valuation options to protect your belongings. The most common are Full Value Protection, which covers the repair, replacement, or reimbursement for the item’s current market value, and Limited Liability Protection, which offers minimal coverage based on weight. Limited Liability Protection is offered free of charge with every move, as required by law, while Full Value Protection usually comes with an additional fee. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration explains, “Under Full Value Protection, your mover is responsible for the replacement value of lost or damaged goods in your entire shipment.” Many moving companies also offer an Items of Extraordinary Value Declaration, ensuring your items that cost $100 per pound or more are covered. Customers should understand these options to choose the best coverage for their needs.

How Long Does a Long-Distance Move Usually Take in LA?

The duration of a long-distance move in Los Angeles can vary significantly. Moving Long Distances can include moving across the country or moving one state over. Factors influencing the timeline of a long-distance move include the distance of the move, traffic conditions, weather, and the size of the move.

On average, long-distance moves can take a few days to a few weeks. It is a good rule of thumb to estimate one day for loading, one day for unloading, and an additional day for every 500 miles of travel. However, the best way to estimate your timeline is to request an estimate from your moving company.

At LAP Movers, we work efficiently to ensure your move is completed as quickly as possible without compromising quality or safety. We plan each move meticulously, considering all factors that could affect the timeline. Our team strives to deliver a smooth and timely relocation experience, keeping you informed every step of the way.

Most reputable moving companies in Los Angeles invest in training their crews to handle various aspects of moving. This includes packing techniques, furniture handling, and customer service. Experienced crews are essential for ensuring a smooth and efficient moving process. Moving is a complex job, and an experienced team means all the difference. This CBS News article frankly states, “If you don’t move regularly or have experience driving a trailer or truck, then perhaps you should leave it to the professionals.”

At LAP Movers, we pride ourselves on having a team of highly experienced and trained moving professionals. Our crew members undergo rigorous training to ensure they have the skills to handle your belongings carefully and efficiently. Their expertise and dedication are key to providing you with a stress-free moving experience. “Our team’s training and experience are what set us apart.
