Posted on Martha mApril 1, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have lived at my home for the last 30years. Moving seemed like such a daunting task. Juan Sanchez and his crew were absolutely outstanding. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, organized, and ready to work. Juan led the team with confidence and made sure everything ran smoothly. The entire crew worked very efficiently, but never rushed in a way that felt careless. They handled our furniture and boxes with great care, protected our belongings, and made sure everything was placed exactly where we wanted it. Everyone on the team was respectful, friendly, and willing to go the extra mile to help. Maribeth was also wonderful throughout the entire process. She provided excellent communication, answered all of our questions, and made everything feel seamless and stress-free from start to finish. Her coordination and customer service truly made a difference and helped the move go exactly as planned. Overall, I’m extremely impressed with Juan Sanchez, his crew, and Maribeth. Their professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail made this move such a smooth and positive experience. I really appreciate the care and hard work from everyone involved. I would absolutely recommend Southbay Moving Systems Inc. to anyone looking for a reliable and professional moving company. Thank you all again for such a great experience!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!

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO MOVE FROM CALIFORNIA TO New Jersey?
Moving from California to New Jersey typically costs between $4,800 and $9,500 depending on home size and services, covering approximately 2,900 miles from the West Coast to the Northeast Corridor. Moves from San Francisco or Los Angeles to Newark or Jersey City follow Interstate 80 through the Rockies and Midwest before reaching the Garden State, with fuel, tolls, and route logistics factoring into your final price.
Volume and Weight of Items: Larger inventories require bigger trucks and additional crew members, which increases labor costs and fuel consumption across the entire 2,900-mile route from California to New Jersey destinations.
Home Size and Accessibility: A studio apartment costs less than a four-bedroom house, and commercial relocation quotes scale accordingly, while New Jersey’s urban areas with narrow streets, walk-up apartments, and tight parking often require shuttle trucks that add labor time and equipment fees.
Timing and Season: Summer months and month-end dates experience peak demand with rates increasing fifteen to twenty-five percent, while mid-week or winter bookings offer better availability and lower pricing for flexible schedules.
Additional Services: Professional packing services, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and full unpacking at your New Jersey destination add convenience and protection, saving you time while reducing the risk of damage during the cross-country journey.
Special or High-Value Items: Pianos, antiques, artwork, gun safes, and items requiring specialized piano moving services need custom crating, climate-controlled trucks, and trained handlers with equipment that increases overall moving costs but ensures safe delivery.
Distance, Fuel, and Storage: The transcontinental route from California to New Jersey via I-80 incurs significant fuel and toll expenses through multiple states, and if your New Jersey home isn’t ready upon arrival, short-term warehousing adds monthly storage fees until delivery.

WHY DO CA RESIDENTS MOVE TO New Jersey?
Californians are moving to New Jersey for lower housing costs, East Coast career opportunities, and proximity to New York City without California’s tax burden.
Cost of Living: New Jersey median home prices around $500,000 offer better value than California’s $800,000-plus markets, though property taxes average 2.47 percent compared to California’s 0.73 percent, balancing the savings with higher annual tax bills.
Jobs and Industries: New Jersey’s pharmaceutical and biotech sectors with companies like Johnson & Johnson, Merck, and Bristol Myers Squibb attract California healthcare professionals, while finance, logistics, and technology hubs near New York City draw West Coast talent seeking East Coast career advancement.
California Retirees: Many California retirees choose New Jersey for family proximity and four-season living, with senior moving services supporting downsizing from large California homes to manageable Garden State properties near grandchildren.
Military Families: California military families receive PCS orders to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Burlington County, and Southbay assists with DITY and PPM reimbursement paperwork for seamless transitions from West Coast bases.
California Businesses: New Jersey’s 9 percent corporate tax rate versus California’s 8.84 percent offers minimal savings, but proximity to major East Coast markets, lower commercial real estate costs outside Manhattan, and access to regional talent pools drive California companies to establish New Jersey operations.
