Recent Happenings

These guys were great. Not only were the prices very reasonable (my main concern), but they were also on time, and VERY fast at what they do. Fast but not clumsy-- they took their time wrapping furniture in plastic, loading boxes, etc... and were able to empty my old apartment in 30 minutes or less.

They had me moved out of my Kingwood apartment into the Heights in less than 2 hours (the drive alone was nearly an hour). They put my furniture back together + asked where everything should go + nothing broken. I was happy.

I wasn't sure what to expect with the price I was quoted. I will use them again next

Since both my husband and I were crazy busy at work, we needed a moving company that could pack everything for us, move us, and unpack all of the boxes. Air 1 packed up our entire townhouse starting at 7 a.m. on a Saturday, and had us completely moved into our new house by 3:30 p.m. They came back Sunday morning to unpack boxes and finished in less than 3 hours. That is crazy fast! When we moved to Houston it took us a week to pack everything up and who knows how long to unpack all of the boxes.

The rates were super reasonable as well. We paid slightly less than $2,000, and that included all the packing, moving, and unpacking, as well as all of the boxes, paper to wrap things, tape, etc. (you can provide your own boxes and such, but we opted not to). That was much less than we thought we would have to spend to get a full-service move!

In addition to reasonable rates, both the women who packed and unpacked our boxes and the men who moved everything were super professional and on time, which is very rare for movers! In fact, we weren't supposed to actually be moved until the Sunday after the Saturday that our boxes were being packed, but they finished so early that they asked us if we just wanted them to move our stuff on Saturday since they had a truck available. How many times have you had movers who actually got you moved earlier than you expected?

All in all, I was completely impressed with every aspect of the service provided by Air 1 Movers and would heartily recommend them to anyone contemplating a move.

I used AIR 1 for my recent move, and they were plenty reliable. They arrived early, got the job done, and only made me cringe a few times.

The advantages of aIR 1 that led me to choose them out of the many legal and semi-legal ways to have my stuff moved from one apartment to the next:
- A real customer service phone number
- Fast email and phone response
- Uniformed, experienced movers
- Low enough rates to be a smart $ decision (but not so low that I wondered if my movers would be a dude named Bubba and his F-350)
- No funky gas charges, stair charges, wait charges, or other hidden fees

The guys even arrived early! In a perfect world, they might have worked a little faster and been a bit more organized when they unloaded our boxes, but I have nothing to say that's really complaint-worthy.

I too had a horrific experience with Air 1. I was doing a move from Central CA to Northern CA and thought I had thoroughly vetted the company. The move ended up being the most stressful thing I have ever done. The movers were fantastic, but the foreman was a complete a$$. He was rude to my wife and daughter and made racial comments about his workers to us. He was 2 hours late to begin with and then started telling us that we were going to have to pay to have all our furniture wrapped when the quote we received said it included all the wrapping and assembly/disassembly. Like the other ratings here, he rushed me through the paperwork and did not explain any of it. He asked me to sign blank credit card receipts and tried several times to overcharge me for services that were included. Luckily my wife speaks fluent spanish and was able to heed the warnings of the workers who explained that he tried to rip everyone off and to watch ourselves. They tried to bill us an additional $800.00 for additional truck space when we had ordered an entire 24' truck. It took 15 minutes of yelling to resolve that issue with the main office. All in all there are too many things that went wrong to recap them all, but I will say that we are missings items from our move and we are still waiting for the main office to call us back to resolve this. ( Going on a month now ). I would strongly recommend no one ever use this company for moving. Good Luck

this place is horrible! I lived there for one year and everything and everyone was nice in the beginning of the lease that is. First off, this place is in a very bad area where there is a group of gangsters that live a block away! You can expect to hear cops and helicopters at night and drunk neighbors!!

Unfortunately, I did not learn all this until after I moved in. Everything seems nice at first but it's not. The walls are horribly thin so you can hear everything your neighbors are doing. The laundry room only works with cards of $20 denominations, so you have to at least buy one for 20 bucks! And be careful to not lose them because the landlord is completely stingy!!! Yes she will charge an arm an a leg for anything lost so be careful! When I moved out the landlord charged me over $1000.00 cleaning fees and my apartment was in good condition!! Yes complete rip off so I am warning you be careful if you decide to reside here ... it's not worth it! I would try to find another place if I were you! Not only do they take most of your security deposit and over charge for every little thing, they also will ask for 3 months up front when you first apply!! There are so many other places that are way nicer, cheaper and in decent areas believe me this place is shit and watch out for the landlord!! She is a major stingy unethical person and will take your money!!

I would not recommend anyone renting an apartment in this building. First of all, it has termites. Second, the owner is a slumlord who refuses to make any repairs. Many units have stoves, smoke detectors, etc. that do not work. The owner has had complaints lodged against her with the City of Los Angeles' Department of Housing and the Housing Rights Commission. Consider yourself warned.

NIGHTMARE ON MAPLE STREET

As a six-year tenant of one of Mr. Chung's buildings, I have nothing but horror stories. It goes way beyond crappy repairs that take forever: in order to drive out long-standing rent-controlled tenants, George Chung Realty rents to a parade of criminals and mental patients.

In the six years that I've lived in my ten-unit building, five nightmare tenants have been taken away in handcuffs after disrupting the peace, threatening and in one case assaulting other tenants. In the past month alone (May 2009) the police have been called six times and there have been two arrests.

We, the law-abiding tenants have repeatedly accused Mr. Chung of deliberately seeking out a criminal element, to which he replies "Prove it."

I would strongly advise against renting anything from George Chung Realty.





I COULD NOT AGREE MORE. CHUNG and his people are thugs.
