Residential Moving in Marina del Rey, 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. Before your move you should also receive the booklet Important Information for Persons Moving Household Goods (within California). Call (310) 823-9510 - the office is open 6 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week, including Sunday.

California's tariff rules for local hourly moves charge travel time between the origin and the destination at twice the actual driving time. It is a regulated charge, not padding, and traffic at the time of day you move affects it. We explain how it applies to your move at the estimate so it is not a surprise on the bill.

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

For apartments and condos we confirm elevator reservations, loading zones and any certificate of insurance the building requires before the date is set. Hillside homes and narrow streets often mean a smaller truck or a shuttle from a larger truck parked nearby, which is the standard method on restricted-access properties and is priced at the estimate. Properties with no vehicle access are discussed on the phone before a date is confirmed.

A one-bedroom apartment local move in the Los Angeles area typically runs $350 to $650 and local residential moving typically runs $150 to $200 per hour for a two-person crew and truck. Those are typical ranges, not a quote. Your price depends on the building, the lift booking and whether a shuttle is needed, and it is set in writing before anything is loaded, with a Not To Exceed figure.

Yes. Popeye offers full-service vaulted storage at its own warehouse at 5509 1/2 S Centinela Ave in Mar Vista, a short distance from the marina. 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, our crews handle everything, storage is climate controlled for temperature and humidity, and there is no minimum or maximum term.

No. Despite the name, the Marina Peninsula is in the City of Los Angeles, while Marina del Rey is unincorporated County land. Both share the 90292 ZIP, which is why we confirm the authority from the parcel rather than the mailing address. Getting this wrong means a permit that does not cover the address.

Managed buildings almost always require a certificate of insurance naming the building as additional insured, a booked lift window and lift protection pads. Many also assign a designated loading dock. Send us the management contact when you book and we will provide the certificate in the wording the building asks for.

Often it will not. Garage height limits in the marina's underground parking frequently stop a full-size truck entering. We identify that at the estimate and plan a shuttle vehicle where needed, priced in writing, so it is part of the plan rather than a surprise on the day.
