Downtown Moves Are Decided by the Building, Not the Mileage

Downtown moves are not decided by mileage. A move from Little Italy to East Village covers about a mile and a half, and it can still take a full day — because the work is not the drive, it is the building.

Packman Moving plans downtown relocations around the constraints that actually govern them: your freight elevator window, your property manager’s certificate of insurance requirements, whether your tower has a loading dock or nothing but a metered curb, and what else is happening downtown that day. We are a San Diego moving company, based in San Diego, moving people between these eight neighborhoods every week.

What We Handle Before the Truck Arrives

Most downtown moving problems are solved the week before, not on the day.

  1. Certificate of Insurance. Almost every downtown tower requires a COI naming the building and its management company before a crew is allowed in. We file it — usually within 24 hours of getting your building’s requirements.
  2. Freight elevator reservation. Most buildings limit moves to weekday business hours and require the freight elevator to be booked one to two weeks ahead. We coordinate the window with your building manager and pad it for traffic.
  3. Dock or curb? Some towers have a loading dock with a 20-foot height cap. Some have nothing but a metered curb on a one-way street. We survey your address and bring the truck that fits, and we can request a temporary no-parking permit for curb loads.
  4. Event days. Padres home games, Comic-Con week, the Holiday Bowl and parade closures turn East Village and Gaslamp into a parking lot. We check the calendar when you book and steer you away from the bad days.
  5. Trolley lines and one-ways. C Street, the Blue and Orange line crossings, and the one-way grid around Broadway all affect truck routing. We plan the approach before we leave the yard.

This company was efficient, professional, and timely, going above and beyond to accommodate my moving needs. I was in a bind and ended up booking last minute. They showed up THAT DAY, and they showed up with the materials I was missing or hadn’t thought to buy. They were accurate with their quote and showed up exactly when they said they would. Can’t recommend enough!

We had an overall fantastic move with Packman Moving! Dave & Josh were our movers and did a phenomenal job with loading, helping move furniture, and assist with the move.

I recently moved and decided to go with Packman and I am very glad that I did. With fair pricing and great customer service, Jose and Chris came by a couple of days prior and went over everything with me. which was a good idea as the locations of where I was moving from and moving to are both very difficult to get a large truck to due to both being on Dove Canyon. Jose as well as Chris and the other Chris were all great during the move, great energy, great attitudes, going out of their way to ensure all went well and took great care with all my belongings, almost as if it was their own. If you need to move, go with Packman; you will be happy that you did!

We just moved from San Diego to Monterey, CA. Jose and Chris did all the work to disassemble, load, drive, unload, and reassemble items. They are very professional and you can easily tell they work hard to do a great job. They were careful to not scrape walls or damage anything. I would absolutely hire these guys again, and recommend you do.

I can't say enough good things about the folks at Packman moving. We are a non-profit in Balboa Park and had to move some large equipment under some very specific and trying circumstances, and Packman's four-man team came through with flying colors -- and all for a reasonable price. We will absolutely use them for our future moving needs.
