These guys are efficient, yet cautious and very careful with all fragile and non-fragile items. I cannot recommend Roman, Peter and Ocean Moving Company enough!! Do yourself a favour and look no further. I will gladly use them again, anytime I need items moved.

They communicated very well, were on time and ready to get started and took great care in moving our items. We finished the move ahead of schedule and much of that was due to their efficiency, professionalism and focus. I would highly recommend Ocean Moving.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've had the best experience with Ocean Moving a couple of weeks ago. They were super responsive when scheduling the move, came on time and prepared. They were quick and careful with our delicate furniture and belongings. We were also impressed by how accurately they estimated the size of the storage unit we needed and expertly packed everything into the space. The movers were also friendly and professional. We estimated that the move would take 6 hours and they got it done in 4. We plan to use them again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys came as recommended from some family members. Sam and Roman were on time, (15 minutes early), for the moving date and wasted no time getting to work. Both are really nice guys. Within two hours the house was cleaned out and the truck was loaded. Once at my new place, again, they wasted no time unloading their truck. They reassembled things that needed it and put things where they belonged.  They are quick, attentive and very professional. I highly recommend them for your next move.

FAQ

How much do movers cost in Torrance?

Moving costs in Torrance depend on the size of your move, the number of movers and trucks needed, the distance between locations, and the time required. Other factors include stairs, elevators, parking accessibility, packing services, and any additional materials or special handling. We offer both hourly and flat-rate pricing based on your moving needs.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking your move two to three weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and arrival window. However, we also accommodate last-minute moves, including same-day bookings, subject to availability.

What is double drive time?

Double drive time means the driving time between your pickup and delivery locations is counted twice for billing purposes. For example, if the drive takes 30 minutes, 60 minutes of driving time is billed. This method applies to certain hourly moving services.

What items wonʼt movers move?

For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous or flammable materials, including ammunition, explosives, gasoline, paint, and certain chemicals. We also do not accept heavily soiled or unsanitary items. Items weighing over 300 pounds may require special equipment or arrangements and must be reviewed and discussed in advance.

How much should I tip movers?

Tipping is never required but is always appreciated. As with other service-based industries, a tip of 10–20% of the total moving cost is a common guideline for good service. The amount is entirely up to you and may depend on your satisfaction with the crew and the complexity of your move.

What is the cheapest day to move in Torrance?

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are often the most affordable days to schedule a move in Torrance, as demand tends to be lower than on weekends. Actual rates depend on availability, the time of year, and your moving requirements.

Do you move from Torrance to other California cities?

Yes. Ocean Moving Company provides moving services from Torrance to destinations throughout California. Whether you’re relocating to a nearby South Bay community, San Diego, Sacramento, Redding, or another California city, we can help plan and coordinate your move.
