Commercial Moving Across Los Angeles County

Moves that start and end inside California are regulated by the Department of Consumer Affairs Bureau of Household Goods and Services (BHGS), not the CPUC, which stopped regulating household movers on July 1, 2018 under Senate Bill 19. Popeye Moving & Storage operates under CAL T 189749 for moves inside California, holds USDOT 1472924 and MC 498816C for interstate work, and is fully insured. You can check any mover's permit with BHGS at bhgs.dca.ca.gov or on (916) 999-2041 before you book, and complaints about a California household mover go to BHGS.

Yes. Estimates and quotes are free, including in-home and video estimates, and a video survey lets Popeye give you a guaranteed binding price. On a move inside California the price is set in writing before anything is loaded, with a Not To Exceed figure that caps the bill unless you agree to a written Change Order For Services for added work. A verbal rate over the phone is not an estimate. For offices and warehouses we usually walk the space with you, or review it by video, so the estimate reflects the actual inventory, elevators and dock access. Call (310) 823-9510 - the office is open 6 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week, including Sunday.

Yes, that is part of planning. Evening and weekend windows are discussed at the estimate, and the final schedule depends on what both buildings allow, since many property managers set fixed freight elevator and loading dock times. The office takes calls and schedules moves from 6 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week, so you can plan with us outside your own working day.

Popeye is fully insured, and Los Angeles property managers commonly ask movers for a certificate of insurance before they release a freight elevator or dock. Send us each building's requirements, including any wording they need on the certificate, as early as possible so it can be arranged before move day.

It depends on the city. Each city in the service area sets its own rules on truck parking, notice periods and signs, so the permit position is confirmed for your specific address during planning rather than assumed. In Pasadena, Popeye has insurance on file with the city, which qualifies it for the two working day minimum for moving permit issuance.

Workstations, monitors and peripherals are wrapped, labeled and inventoried so each set lands at the right desk. We recommend your IT team or vendor backs up and disconnects servers and network equipment before the crew arrives and reconnects it at the new site. On a California move, the 60 cents per pound per article figure is how the rate is calculated, not what a claim pays; unless you declare another value, the mover's maximum liability is up to 20,000 dollars of actual cash value, and you have the right to be offered higher valuation. Valuation is a liability limit, not insurance.

Yes. Popeye offers full-service vaulted storage for commercial goods at its own warehouse at 5509 1/2 S Centinela Ave in Mar Vista, with no minimum or maximum term. Goods are placed into vaults at the warehouse the same day as pickup, and the space is climate controlled for temperature and humidity. There is no unit or key; our crews handle the goods. Vaulted storage typically runs $60 to $90 per vault per month in Los Angeles, as a typical range rather than a quote.

In Los Angeles, Popeye Moving & Storage offers Office & Business Moving, Corporate Relocation, Retail & Restaurant Moving, and Warehouse & Industrial Moving, among others. Call (310) 823-9510 for availability.
