PB is dense. Between Mission Bay and the ocean, most of the housing is apartments, condos and duplexes on small lots, with garages that open onto rear alleys instead of the street. The population is young and mobile, and a large share of PB moves are one- and two-bedroom apartments at the end of a 12-month lease. That shapes everything:
August and September are the rush. Lease turnover peaks in the last two weeks of August. Book three weeks out or you won’t get a Saturday.
Alley loading is normal. Your garage almost certainly opens on the alley. We load from there when it’s faster and safer than the street.
Parking is a fight. Garnet, Grand and Mission Boulevard are metered and busy; side streets near the beach are permit-only in stretches. We scout the block before move day.
Condo buildings have rules. Crown Point and North PB buildings often require a Certificate of Insurance and an elevator reservation. Give us your building’s name and we’ll handle both.
Beach traffic. Summer weekends, Mission Boulevard and Grand Avenue back up by mid-morning. We start at 7.

Also accommodating to personal moving circumstances and willing to help however possiblePosted on Google Angie Motter 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!Posted on Google Mallory Green We had an overall fantastic move with Packman Moving!

Edit: my pod landed and NOTHING moved, shifted, or was broken after a 1300mi journey. These guys are excellent!Posted on Google Jeff Palaferri 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!Posted on Google Nilton Vanegas Used their services twice and recommended a few times. These guys are awesome.Posted on Google judd 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.Posted on Google Tom Hay Bauer 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.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Packman Moving LLC for my move, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their service. From start to finish, Jose and his team were respectful and maintained attention to detail and cautious handling of my belongings. The movers were incredibly diligent, making sure that every item was carefully packed and transported without a scratch. Their customer service was outstanding, going above and beyond by providing extra boxes and wardrobes at no additional cost. This thoughtful gesture made the entire process smoother and more organized. Additionally, after the move, they came back to my new place and expertly mounted two TVs, which was a lifesaver. Packman Moving LLC truly exceeded my expectations with their professionalism and dedication. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable and meticulous movers.Posted on Thumbtack Kellie O. Great choice for moving!
Posted on Yelp Jason H. Friendly and professional service. Excellent communication before and during the move. Very pleased and will use them again for my next move!Posted on Yelp Lori S. Our movers, Leon & David, were outstanding in every way. Highly professional & very nice. We will definitely use Packman Moving again & request this crew!Posted on Yelp Tracey L. My family and I cannot recommend Packman Moving enough!!! The whole process was super smooth and easy. My first impression was a message exchange and phone call with Chris to go over all the details, and I knew right away this was the company we needed to hire for our move! Chris was so friendly, professional, and thorough going through all the details and answering all of my many questions! He quoted me a price, and it was almost exactly what he quoted me! I knew all the charges up front for their materials, and it was exactly as expected the day of! Fast forward to moving day, Jose, Dave, and another amazing mover (So sorry! We didn't catch his name) came and moved my husband and I from our upstairs 1 bedroom apartment to our new house, and when I tell you this team was professional, kind, efficient, organized, and QUICK, I mean it tenfold!! As soon as they arrived, they greeted us and got immediately to work taking everything downstairs! They wrapped and padded all the furniture like the pros they are. Our stuff was not only protected, it was treated with the utmost care! We were so impressed by their work ethic. You can absolutely tell they take pride in their work and have integrity in what they do. We are so happy we went with Packman Movers! Pro tip: if possible (and if you haven't hired them to pack up your things), be as packed and ready to go as you possibly can, so they can do their job to the best of their abilities, and you'll see for yourself just how efficient they truly are! Thank you so much to the Packman team for all your hard work!! We appreciate you all, and we're still in shock by how fast, easy, and painless our move was!! You turned what could have been a very stressful day into an absolute breeze!!Posted on Yelp Brooke T. Chris and his crew were extremely professional, polite, and got the job done so quickly.

Want to give Packman Moving the highest praise for going above and beyond to provide excellent service to help my 84 year old mother move numerous antique furniture items to a storage unit. The owner Chris was very accommodating even printing the contract for my mother to review and sign old school style.
