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.

Erica Gonzales

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.

Patrick Abner

1761856682

So one year later I had another back breaking job with lots and lots of boxes to move or unpack. 7 hours worth of labor. Once again it was all smiles and cheeriness as well as precision and expertise. This company blows me away.

Meaghan Guertin

Islam, Alex, and Alex were fantastic! Moved our entire apartment in 4 hours start to finish. We even had a couple pieces of particularly difficult furniture to move, and they were determined to get it done. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love Shipshape moving! They are prompt, careful and extremely attentive with fragile items. I booked my move two days prior to the move and not only did they give me a morning and afternoon option, they accompanied every need I had!I cannot recommend them enough! 20+ stars!!

Susan Krok

1754697007

I highly recommend Impel moving. Their communication was very good from the initial quote to move day. Alex and Simon are experienced, swift movers and I knew my items were in good hands. I have no complaints whatsoever about the process.

Khadijah White

1754351498

They were absolutely incredible! I wasn’t expecting this level of service considering how a lot of moving companies damage your furniture, or have outrageous prices.They even reset up things that were broken down, like my bookshelf! If you’re looking for a reliable, affordable, friendly, fast, but handled with care moving company give these guys a call!10 stars!!🥳

Aly Downs

Sia Saveleva

Joe Sikoryak

1753831870

These guys are my new heroes. We had a challenging move—2 guys who lived in the same place for 22 years—and a lot still not packed when Alex and Simon arrived. Then I had to split to deal with an emergency, trusting them to handle it alone, unsupervised. They did it and helped set up as well! Good communication from the office as well. Would not hesitate to call them again!

Amanda Singh Birmingham

We had a great experience with the movers. They helped us move from our two bedroom apartment into a house of similar size, which we could not have done without them! They were on time, courteous, and all around excellent movers. They brought wardrobe boxes that we needed and purchased for a small fee. This is the second time we have used them and we will definitely use them again if we move in the future, as well as recommend them very highly. Thank you Alex and team!

Very helpful and efficient. They were able to accommodate a tight move in deadline of four hours for our Xmas bazaar. They also were able to bring a second truck pretty quickly when they noticed we wouldn’t be able to fit everything in one. Everyone was very friendly.

Analise Smith-Hinkley

1731961329

My husband and I used Shipshape a couple months ago to move within the same city after reading good reviews in a number of places, and we had the best experience! Communication was fantastic from the moment we inquired via email, with clear explanations about pricing, considerations, available supplies, and more. The move day itself was really smooth--which is extra impressive given that the place we were moving from was the upper unit of a duplex which itself was on a hill with uneven stairs up--not a super fun or easy moving scenario! The team was efficient, friendly, and handled everything like pros, and we're so grateful. Definitely do not want to move again anytime soon but when we do--Shipshape it is! Highly recommend, thank you!

Fred Tabsharani

1728233513

These movers were excellent tireless and efficient -We completed a large move in one day they packed boxes had an exceptional team and were efficient. However, I would urge that you get a very precise estimate before moving. I think it’s best to have the movers see physically, what needs to be moved -I would highly recommend these guys. They are first class.

Laura Plantenga

1725681149

BEST MOVERS EVER! We are a military family and have moved quite a bit and Impel is by far the best movers I have ever had! Super responsive!! Even when I made a mistake and booked for the wrong day, Dennis still came through! And, the movers were so kind and considerate. Thank you so much for making moving an easier experience!!!Update: we called again a year later to move my daughter out—she finally graduated✨—and got the same excellent service. I was so confident in them that I trusted my husband to go in my place and didn’t even worry. Thanks guys! I really appreciate you!

Karen Borg

1723155512

I needed help moving my nephew 160 miles away for college. I need help mostly with the heavy items, couch, kitchen tables, a desk and miscellaneous items. I checked with several other companies for comparable prices. And this movie company had the most reasonable rates and really good Reviews. On the day of the move, the guys are very polite. They moved everything completely and assembled the couch, kitchen chairs, the desk for me and then put stuff in whichever room I needed both guys were super helpful and answering any questions. I would highly recommend this company and will be using them again if I need anything moved.

Kevin Thomas

1721606575

Our two movers from Shipshape moving, Max and Max were awesome! They moved our furniture and other things from the place I stayed in for five years, extremely quickly and professionally. They disassembled and reassembled all my furniture very well and were extremely cordial. Would 100% recommend Max and Max and their company, Shipshape moving, to anyone moving.

Bianca Polovina

1721139573

A good friend recommended Shipshape/Impel, and because I have never used professional movers before, I took the recommendation and started the process online. Dave and Maria responded immediately to the quote request and to requests along the way. Working to prepare for the movewas simple and prompt. But the real transformation happened on moving day. Our family had been in the same apartment for 15 years and was both nervous and excited for our big day.Max and Max were amazing. They were friendly, efficient, trustworthy, and experts at everything they did. They disassembled and reassembled furniture as if they had designed and built it themselves and treated everything with utmost care. They were willing to make an extra stop to deposit a large dresser at our parents house. You couldn’t ask for better, and I recommend them wholeheartedly. Don’t forget to feed and tip your movers.

Lindsey Alexandra Fontenot

1720929607

Absolutely amazing moving company!! If you’re deciding between multiple, ShipShape is the way to go. From start to finish, our movers (Max, Max, and Roger) were courteous, quick, and overall wonderful! They eased our stress/worries about moving last minute, helped us box up some last things in our kitchen, and disassembled/reassembled furniture, and more. We moved to a loft with a narrow staircase, and we were very impressed and grateful by how quickly they were able to get our furniture upstairs. Very communicative and friendly group. They even helped us design our spaces with the furniture set up and decorations. We hope to not move for some time, but if/when we do, we will definitely be calling our friends at ShipShape again! Thanks for everything!

I just moved into my one-bedroom apartment, and Shipshape Moving did a fantastic job! Max and his team were super careful with my furniture—nothing got damaged. They even helped set everything up at my new place. They were friendly, professional, and made the whole process stress-free. Highly recommend!
