   Great service for a second time.

   The second time Elephant moving co have moved us in the last 3 years. We have a large nice home and we feel we are getting a premium service at a reasonable price. Everyone is skilled congenital and hardworking. We have referred them to a family member and a friend who both had very good experiences. We move frequently and are thankful that we have found a company that we trust and are happy with.

   Elephant moving co.

   Elephant Moving Co is hands down, the BEST moving company you will ever use.  They packed my Santa Monica apartment on Sunday the 21st then loaded and delivered my goods to Cathedral City on Monday the 22nd.  Being an incurable collector, I have a massive amount of ceramics, glass, art, rugs and antiques.  The crew of Saul, Daryn, Jan and Leo were especially fast, hard working, accommodating and careful beyond reproach.  The spoon holder from the kitchen stove was given the same care in wrapping and shipping as the irreplaceable crystal chandelier.  All accomplished with great attitude and personality. They were all very appreciative of the coffee, pizza and tips.  The best part of all, absolutely nothing was broken, scratched or dented.  These guys are dynamite and I definitely recommend them.

   Elephant Movers Steal while working.

   Like others that have posted complaints, we too went to the Los Angeles Police Department and filed a criminal complaint and a theft report -- we even identified the employee that stole our credit cards out of our car (and then used them).   They stole jewelry, money, they would distract my wife and me and then one mover would go into another room to rifle our possession.  They used a knife to cut through a scuba bag to get items out of it - it was locked.   We have serious damages to several antique pieces of furniture and Don doesn't return phone calls and lies.  When he finally gave us a check it bounced.  The police made him send a money order - so he sent $50.00 rather than the over $500.00 owed.   Don also later claimed to police that he didn't know the names of his workers, he picks them up on the street and uses friends of friends.   He knew the name of the man that stole our credit cards - police said he was lying and they later made him admit it.   This happened a few years ago and we've never got over how little the police did and what horrible thieves these guys were.   They even stole a film camera out of a box and the tape that was in it - tape of my children.   Avoid Don Tonty and Elephant Movers - there were literally over 100 bad complaints about them on Yelp but Don Tonty complained to Yelp and made them remove the bad reviews.  Trust me, these guys are BAD, BAD, BAD people and very dishonest.
