Alex and Islam were great. Efficient, polite, careful and professional. We made it within our 3 hour minimum. We enjoyed working with them.
Organizing and booking was super easy and the moving guys were very efficient and friendly. Everything went great - it was a business move. We would definitely use them again and recommend Shipshape moving.
Alex and Renee were great! They finished loading, unloading, and assembling two beds in 4 hours total. They were efficient, safe, friendly, courteous, and kind. I love Impel and would definitely use them again!
I had an outstanding experience with Ship Shape Moving in Berkeley, California a few months ago in October. From the very first interaction, the level of professionalism and responsiveness was exceptional—especially given that I had less than a 24-hour turnaround.I worked directly with Dave, and he was truly exemplary. He took the time to understand my needs, communicated clearly, and ensured everything was handled efficiently.Ship Shape Moving delivered prompt, reliable, and high-quality service, exceeding my expectations under a very tight timeline. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of moving services, and I specifically commend Dave for his excellent customer service and professionalism.I will be seeking services once again for my upcoming move later this year.Highly recommended.
I had an amazing experience with Impel Moving. My move included a steep driveway that their trucks couldn’t get up, and the team of four carried everything by hand without hesitation. They were professional, friendly, careful with all of my furniture, and worked incredibly hard the entire day.This is the best moving crew I’ve hired — they communicated well, protected my home, and made a very stressful move so much easier. I would absolutely hire Impel again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for movers who truly go above and beyond.
