Commercial Moving in Manhattan Beach, 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 Manhattan Beach 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.

Any commercial tenant in El Porto or on a walk street is qualified on the phone before a date is confirmed. Steep narrow streets, alley-served buildings and no-vehicle-access frontages are assessed at the estimate stage, and a shuttle from a smaller vehicle is included in the written price where the address requires it. The crew size and carry distance are planned before loading begins, not improvised on the day.

Popeye arranges the moving van permit and temporary reserved parking permit through the City's online process, and provides certificates of insurance required by building management at origin and destination. For moves into or out of multi-tenant buildings, service lift bookings are coordinated before the move date. All of this is confirmed before the crew arrives so the move runs within the scheduled window.

Those are typical Los Angeles ranges, not a quote. The actual price for a Manhattan Beach commercial move depends on volume, access at the specific address, after-hours or weekend timing, and any dismantling or crating required. The price is confirmed in writing before loading.

Yes. Popeye offers full-service vaulted storage at its own warehouse at 5509 1/2 S Centinela Ave in Mar Vista, with no minimum or maximum term. Commercial and business storage is accepted alongside household goods. Goods are placed into vaults at the warehouse the same day as pickup, with no overnight hold on the truck. There is no unit or key; crews handle your goods, and the space is climate controlled for temperature and humidity.

El Porto, around 45th Street and The Strand near the El Segundo line, has steep narrow streets, alley-served buildings, small garages and many buildings with no elevator and narrow internal stairs. For commercial tenants there, a shuttle from a smaller vehicle is the professional method for reaching the address and is priced at the estimate. Display cases, kitchen equipment and office furniture are staged and protected accordingly before the carry begins.
