International Moving in Inglewood, 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. The international leg of a move also follows the customs and import rules of the destination country. 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 an international move, an in-home or video survey also lets us flag items that may need extra paperwork or cannot be shipped. Call (310) 823-9510 - the office is open 6 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week, including Sunday.

Ocean freight is usually chosen for full households, furniture and larger volumes, while air freight costs more per pound and suits a smaller shipment of essentials you need sooner. Many families send most of their goods by sea and a few boxes by air. Transit times depend on the route, the carrier schedule and customs clearance at destination, so we discuss them for your specific destination rather than promising a date.

Requirements depend on the destination country, but you should expect a detailed inventory, a copy of your passport and visa or residence documents, and any forms the destination customs office asks for. Some countries restrict or tax certain goods, and food, plants and wooden items can face extra checks. We work through the list for your destination before packing so nothing is held up for missing documents.

Hazardous materials are never accepted, including flammable liquids, propane, aerosols, corrosives and explosives, because federal law bars a carrier from accepting them for transport. Beyond that, the destination country decides what may enter, and some restrict alcohol, medicines, food, plants and certain electronics. Money, jewelry and important documents are best carried with you rather than shipped.

A typical Los Angeles range for a one-bedroom apartment local move is $350 to $650. 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 offers free in-home and video estimates. A video survey can lead to a guaranteed binding price, and on a move inside California the price is written down, with a Not To Exceed figure, before anything is loaded.

Yes. Popeye offers full-service vaulted storage at its own warehouse at 5509 1/2 S Centinela Ave in Mar Vista. 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 everything, the warehouse is climate controlled and there is no minimum or maximum term.

Usually not. On a stadium or arena event day the surrounding street network and parking are committed to the event, and a move booked into that window is a move that does not happen. We check both venue calendars before confirming an Inglewood date.

The new apartment and condominium buildings, townhomes and managed communities at Hollywood Park run on building management. Expect a booked lift window and a certificate of insurance for the building, both arranged before the move date, plus an event calendar check because the development surrounds SoFi Stadium and the Intuit Dome.

No. Lennox, immediately south of LAX between Inglewood, Hawthorne and the 105, is unincorporated Los Angeles County. Street permits and enforcement there are County, and a permit from Inglewood does not cover a Lennox address.
