Posted on Mary MFebruary 3, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had lived in the same location for over 27 years and was completely unprepared for the moving experience. My Southbay Moving coordinator was Maribeth Gunderman and she was a lifesaver. I needed guidance every step of the way and she was always patient and helpful whenever I was overwhelmed. She rescheduled my move for me several times when I ran into complications with relocating out of state, always providing options where she could help me get past each obstacle. The moving crew was professional, helpful, and efficient and got my possessions where they needed to be with little difficulty. But mostly, I cannot say enough good things about Maribeth Gunderman. Whenever I needed to be talked through a moving crisis, she was there to listen and help until I was ready to move on, and ultimately, we got it done. Many thanks.Posted on Carolyn PJanuary 9, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Maribeth Gunderman, Sales Manager at Southbay Moving Systems, is a rare find in the business world – superbly competent, kind and patient. My move involved several destinations, rescheduling three times, along with my remote location and difficult driveway access. Ms. Gunderman knew exactly how to handle all of it, often assuring me of Southbay’s experience and expertise. A part of me was skeptical of her promises until her management and the excellent crew who did the work performed above and beyond what she had led me to expect. As a business owner myself, it often occurred to me that Ms. Gunderman is an absolutely invaluable asset to the company. Southbay Moving delivered perfect service with the true caring and attention to detail that we middle-aged folk have come to believe is a thing of the past. At Southbay it is NOT! The moving crew also brought competence and caring. They were personable, and worked more quickly than any crew I’ve ever seen. (I’ve moved across the country six times.) They are not just guys the company picks up, but long-term employees. It shows. I would recommend Southbay Moving Systems for any moving job. Maribeth truly understands how stressful moving is. She not only managed the move but also "managed" my stress, not with empty promises and platitudes, but with an explicit plan, down to the smallest detail and a crew capable of delivering on them. I could have asked for nothing more. She actually made moving almost enjoyable!Posted on Mel LJanuary 8, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This moving company was absolutely awesome! The team was professional, efficient, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. They truly work with you in every way possible to make the move smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone! I will definitely work with them again no questions asked.Posted on Bryan BDecember 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an outstanding experience with South Bay Movers during our move from the San Francisco Bay Area to New York. A huge thank you to Miguel, Jose, and Mike for making what could have been a very stressful move feel smooth and well-managed from start to finish. The team was professional, punctual, and extremely careful with our belongings. They handled everything with attention to detail, clear communication, and a great attitude throughout the entire process. Nothing was rushed, nothing was careless, and they consistently checked in to make sure things were done exactly the way we wanted. Long-distance moves require trust, and Miguel, Jose, and Mike absolutely delivered. Our items arrived on time and in great condition, and their teamwork and work ethic really stood out. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional moving company with people who genuinely care about doing the job right, I highly recommend South Bay Movers and especially this crew. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.Posted on Karen JDecember 5, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Southbay warehoused and delivered a whole house of furniture for us. They were communicative, responsive, timely and very professional. We would use them again.Posted on Bob YDecember 4, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional personnel at ALL levels. From Maribeth who was personable, concise, and very responsive as my first contact with Southbay. To Carlos who came by and took an accurate assessment of our home and all it's contents. Then the 3 strong and polite movers who were on time, knew how to wrap, tape, and move all the items in our house, so that each item arrived at our new home ready to put in place.Posted on Jeremy TNovember 17, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Juan and his team were fantastic. The other reviews are all so positive that I was skeptical, seemed too good to be true, but everything went great.Posted on Peter BNovember 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Big shout out to our movers, Mike, Miguel, and Jose at Southbay moving company! They were on time, courteous, professional, and punctual! Couldn’t have asked for a better movers or moving experience. They made a stressful situation a lot easier for us and our family. Thank you again for your help! Highly recommend these guysPosted on Diane ZOctober 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Juan and his crew were AMAZING! Do fast and patient (when we weren’t quite completely packed!!) this is the second time we have used Southbay movers and would totally use them again. Movers are expensive, but SouthBay was totally worth the money and fairly reasonable; worth every penny!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
