Moving To or From Los Angeles

We Are a Nation-Wide Cross Country Movers Company

CCM is a reputable nation-wide cross country moving company that will gladly help you relocate to Los Angeles, California, and start a new life in the famous City of Angels. Whether you are coming all the way from New York or Chicago, just give us a call, and our sales representatives will provide you with all the information and details. You can also fill out the quote request form on our website.

We strive to stand out from the rest of the competition by putting our clients’ needs first. Therefore, if you have any unusual requests or you’re located in some of the few states we usually don’t serve, contact us, and we will do our best to accommodate your wishes. If you want to move with us, the process is pretty straightforward, and it’s all done electronically or over the phone. We will send you documentation that needs to be signed to minimize the necessary effort on your behalf. If you still don’t know your delivery address, you can send it later.

Our services include open and enclosed car shipping, full packing service and consolidated shipping, insurance, and free use of storage for one month without the obligation to rent it for longer. The best part is the pricing. We will charge you according to the inventory list you provide us with, meaning that our prices are not based on the volume or weight of the shipment, and there are no hidden costs and monkey business. It sounds like there is no room for surprises when it comes to paying, right? We will explain all this and more in further sections.

How Do We Charge for Shipping Items?

Certain companies in our industry tend to earn an extra buck by “cheating” and resorting to what we call “low balling.” They provide a client with a lower shipping quote, and once the items are loaded, the price suddenly goes up. Of course, people have no other option than to pay if they wish to get their things back.

CCM stays away from these blackmailing methods. We have a unique approach to forming our prices, so there are no surprises once the client receives the bill. We base the price on the client’s inventory list, which is the best and the only transparent way of charging for moving services. So the amount does not depend on the weight or volume, but solely on the list. That means that we offer a guaranteed price.

How to Create an Inventory List

Since we charge according to the inventory list, you’ll have to provide us with a detailed catalog of items you want us to move. The best course of action is to include rough measurements of some delicate objects like mirrors, paintings, statues, electronic devices, TVs, as well as bulky items. Items like pianos, hot tubs, gun safes, and grandfather clocks often require custom crating, so our agents need to get information that is as precise as possible.

If you have a lot of stuff, we will send a representative to perform a free in-home estimate and create a precise inventory list with you. If you remove something from the list, the price goes down, and vice versa. As long as the list is accurate, there will be no surprises price-wise. You can change the list anytime until one day before the pickup.

Of course, you can schedule an in-home estimate without sending us an inventory list first, but in case you don’t have a lot of stuff, it’s much faster just to send us a list, and we will send you back the price. We offer in-home estimate services in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. For other cities, we use video estimates that are very easy to perform; all you need is a smartphone or a laptop.

Things You Need to Know About Our Full-Packing Service

If you don’t have the time or simply don’t want to be bothered with packing, it is good to know that you don’t have to. Our team of professionals will come to your door, bring all the necessary packing supplies, and pack everything as carefully and quickly as possible.

How does this work? In short, we will disassemble any furniture, wrap all the electronic devices, fragile items, everything you listed on your inventory list. We also provide mattress covers, paddings, boxes, custom crates, and other high-quality materials. We use barcode stickers to label every item and scan them electronically once they are loaded. Upon delivery, we will assemble furniture and arrange it into the belonging rooms and bring in all the boxes. The unpacking service upon delivery is not included, but you can talk with your agent and make a special request. As we’ve said, our ultimate goal is a satisfied client, and we’ll go out of our way to achieve that.

30 Days of Free Storage

It’s not a trick or a scam. We offer free storage during the first month to our clients. An offer for a job often comes out of the blue, and people don’t even have the time to organize everything – you just have to pack your bags and go. But where are you going to move everything if you don’t have a place to live? To a hotel? Better take advantage of our 30 days of free storage until you settle and find the right home. When the time is right, we will deliver it all to the front door of your new home.

Car Shipping

Our goal is to provide the best services to our clients and make their relocation as stress-free as possible. Since all roads lead to LA, we offer door-to-door car shipping (as long as our truck can access your location; otherwise, we meet the client on the nearest parking lot) and other convenient services. Let’s see what we can do to help you get your vehicle to your new address as quickly as possible.

Moving Insurance

Insurance is another thing our clients don’t have to worry about because, as long as we handle their belongings, they are all covered. We would like to briefly list the amount of insurance coverage when using particular services:

• When using an open trailer, your vehicle is covered for any kind of external damage, like scratches and dents, up to $100,000.
• When using an enclosed trailer transport, your vehicle is covered for any kind of external damage like scratches and dents, up to $500,000.
• We have mandatory basic liability insurance amounting to 60 cents per pound. But for household items, we offer optional full replacement value insurance coverage at an additional cost. We’re not able to ensure things that were not packed by our team of movers, though. The same goes for boxes and packing supplies that were not provided by us.

Things to Know Before Moving to Los Angeles

LA is so much more than a coastal beach city, and although many things happen around the beach, you might not have the time to see it as much as you expect. It is a very diverse and welcoming city with a lot to offer, so it is no wonder why many are looking to settle down here. As the economic, financial, and tourist center of southern California, Los Angeles has everything you’re looking for in terms of fun in the sun and living life to the fullest. So, we prepared a brief guide that tackles some essential things you should consider before coming here.

First-Hand Advice on How to Find an Apartment

Moving and finding an apartment in LA is an adventure that can take some time. If you’re looking to settle under the palm trees in LA, keep in mind that the cost of living in LA is relatively high. On average, the monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment goes from $1,700 for locations outside of the city center. For a three-bedroom apartment, prices start from roughly $1,000 more. Although these things are expensive, people in LA have ample opportunities to find well-paid jobs, so the costs are quite bearable.

Although some landlords still refuse to rent an apartment if you have a pet, generally speaking, LA is a community that welcomes pets with open arms. Living in LA with a pet is the best because there are so many outdoor areas for walking and hanging around with pets. There are plenty of restaurants, cafes, shopping malls, parks, and even beach areas where dogs are allowed.
