Commercial Moving in Hawthorne, CA

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 Hawthorne 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.

A typical Los Angeles range for a one-bedroom apartment local move is $350 to $650 and local residential moving typically runs $150 to $200 per hour for a two-person crew and truck. These are typical ranges, not a quote. Your price is set in writing before anything is loaded, with a Not To Exceed figure on a move inside California.

Yes. Popeye stores goods in sealed vaults at its own warehouse at 5509 1/2 S Centinela Ave in Mar Vista. Your belongings are placed into vaults at the warehouse the same day they are picked up, with no overnight hold on the truck. The warehouse is climate controlled, crews handle all goods, and there is no minimum or maximum term.

No. Lennox, immediately south of LAX between Inglewood, Hawthorne and the 105, is unincorporated Los Angeles County. It is not part of Hawthorne or Inglewood despite being surrounded by them, so permits and parking for a Lennox address go through the County.

It can. Event days at SoFi Stadium and Intuit Dome affect the wider area around Inglewood and can make a move on those dates impractical. We check both calendars before confirming a Hawthorne move date.

Holly Glen, in northern Hawthorne around Ramona Avenue and 120th Street, is a settled neighbourhood of 1940s through 1960s single-family houses on regular streets with driveways, garages and front lawns. Households there have often been in place a long time, so the job tends to be a full house with more to pack, and a pre-move estimate sets the crew and truck accordingly.
