Happy Customer !
We had an unbelievably great experience with Starving Students Movers. They were very professional and work amazingly hard. They were careful with our belongings, moved them efficiently and were extremely careful with our old house and our new home. Thank you Angel, Ron, Tyrone and Jimmy for your hard work and effort to get us moved! I would recommend this company to everyone. Hands down the best and easiest moving experience we’ve ever had.

Excellent job
My biggest worry about moving to LA was the expected cost. But, these guys gave me a great quote and managed to keep down the costs. They did an excellent job handling my stuff quickly and efficiently without any unnecessary delays that could push up the hours. Good job!

Would Recommend to Anyone.
I moved back to California recently from the Midwest and needed someone to unload the pods. Moving and unpacking might be my least favorite things in the world but Starving Students made it painless. From start to finish I enjoyed working with them. Polite, hard working and priced right. You can't go wrong.

Move Went Great!
I scheduled a move from Los Angeles to Norwalk California this past week and I was definitely nervous. I had tons of questions and they walked me through every step, confirmed my move date and time, and were very professional. The guys that showed up obviously knew what they were doing, gave me time estimates that I had requested and were very careful with my super heavy furniture and oh my god the stairs they had to climb. Great job guys! WIll be telling my friends!
