This company is a nightmare! The tools their movers use, are like pocket toys to play with them. They did not use large boxes. Vice versa, they would take each piece of the furniture, including chairs, etc., separately. They would not care about breakable items such as lamps, etc. and did not bother to read the labels, putting those boxes upside-down, covering with heavy furniture above. They would not use the door stoppers, spending time waiting for the neighbors to open the front door, and opening again each door on the way inside. Not only that, but they worked very slow, and spent 9 hours on the same delivery that a Chinese moving company in Daly City completed within two hours two years ago. The Ararat Moving LLC, DBA SF Local Moving company workers did not use lunchtime break, which made them working even slower in the afternoon. The manager, who is possible the company owner, presented as an unstable person. He yelled at me when I said that the movers worked very slowly, and in the middle of the unloading, demanded to immediately pay in cash for the delivery, threatening me to take away the rest of my stuff. I had to call the police to proceed with unloading as I didn’t have enough cash. Because the movers did not properly pack the furniture, they damaged two expensive pieces, an Italian white leather sofa, and a hard wood dining table. The insurance that this company uses would cover only 60 cents per pound, but when I called there, the insurer advised to contact the company manager, which I could not do because of his misbehavior in the past.

After having an awesome experience with them in 2015 we have used them twice again only to have the last two experiences be completely AWFUL. ARARAT MOVING AND ROUTE 66 MOVING ARE THE SAME COMPANY. I WILL BE POSTING THIS ON THE ARARAT YELP PAGE AS WELL. I believe that this company purposely underbids then gets you when the actual move occurs. This is the second time they've done this to us. They told us they were no longer affiliated with the company that did this to us in 2019. That is not true. In a nutshell: 1. The cost to move was $1200 OVER the original bid. This was after we made the move smaller by almost one-third. In fact, before the move we were told by Johnny, "this is going to save you a lot of money from the original bid." NOTHING COULD HAVE BEEN FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH. After discussion, they reimbursed us $500. 2. My dining room table was broken during the move. The movers new this and attempted/told us they have fixed the table. THIS IS A LIE! They hid the table in the back of our garage storage after rigging up the table with plastic wrap from the move. (Photos attached). 3. A leg is broken off of one of my credenzas. Again, they hid this by putting the piece in the back of the garage knowing we wouldn't see it for weeks. (Photos attached). 4. Our $6000 king mattress was left without any support causing it to become disfigured in the four weeks it has been in our garage. (photo attached). This has been a most disappointing and frustrating experience. The dishonestly is the worst part of all of it.

Nick and Ark moved us out of our 1 bedroom apartment to the north bay, WOW these guys are fast! They are incredibly efficient and clearly have a planned out system when they move. They took great care of our belongings and also were very careful with walls and doorways when moving us out and into our new place. Would highly recommend working with Nick and Ark when moving. THANK YOU for such a stress free moving day !!!

Observed from the sidelines and a tenant as 2 people from Ararat Movers worked all day moving and packing a truck. Darrell and Rostlun were both respectful, courteous and professional. They were aware of moving large items quietly so as not to disturb other tenants in the building. I would recommend them to do the heavy lifting any day.

First class all the way. From the first time I called, Eric was responsive and professional. His initial estimate matched very closely to the final price, and the moving team was on time, talented, and took great care so that nothing was damaged. Thank you so mush guys for best services.

Great guys, very hard working. Â I have a tight stairway and they were able maneuver most furniture pieces down with their tetris abilities. Â The other furniture pieces were quickly dismantled and moved down.

With so many moving companies in the area, it's hard to find a reliable and trustworthy group of movers that will go above and beyond to make you a happy and returning customer. Thank you folks for the excellent job.
