We do not yet hold a company profile documented as based in Long Beach. The companies below are headquartered elsewhere in California, shown separately from movers that publish nationwide service.

IRS county migration data for filing years 2022 to 2023 records 162,890 returns moving out of Los Angeles County, the county Long Beach sits in, and 122,437 moving in. A return approximates a household rather than a person. Those filings cover 264,089 individuals leaving and 177,566 arriving.
The counties receiving the most households from Los Angeles County were Orange County (19,802 returns), San Bernardino County (18,325 returns) and Riverside County (11,161 returns).
Arrivals came mainly from Orange County (16,006 returns), San Bernardino County (10,887 returns) and Riverside County (6,767 returns).
These figures come from federal tax return data and cover all household moves, not only those using professional movers.

The FMCSA motor carrier census lists 58 registrants carrying household goods whose physical address is in Long Beach, and 12 of those are classified by FMCSA as interstate operations. That figure counts companies whose federal registration lists an address in Long Beach. It is not the number of companies that will serve a move there: a mover registered in a neighbouring city can take the job, and a company registered in Long Beach may not.

American Van Lines states first-party that it staffs moves with W2 employees rather than day labour. It requires a deposit to hold a move date, so ask what portion is refundable and by when before you pay it. We publish no BBB grade and hold no complaint dataset, so nothing here rates the company's service.
American Van Lines publishes broad nationwide moving service on its own site. It is shown separately from companies based in this area and its presence here is not evidence of a local office.

4 companies with a Long Beach address on their federal registration hold a granted household goods authority from the FMCSA, and 1 of those identify as a moving business in their legal or trade name. The 1 listed below are the ones registered with the agency longest, ordered by the federal registration date, earliest first. Registration age is the agency's own record. It is not a ranking, it is not a quality judgement and it is not a recommendation.
90 active registrants in Long Beach tick household goods among their cargo types on the census form, and 45 of those carry any authority row at all. The cargo tick box is filled in by the registrant, so this list uses the agency grant instead, then sets aside general freight, trucking, logistics and courier registrants that hold the authority without presenting themselves as household movers. It is not every mover serving Long Beach: a company based elsewhere may serve the city, and a registered address is not a service area.

No. Federal registration and California authorisation are separate. The list above shows the federal record only, and we have not verified whether any company listed holds a California licence or permit.
A mover operating inside California needs the Household Movers (HHM) permit, commonly called a Cal-T number from the Bureau of Household Goods and Services. Its rates sit in maximum Rate Tariff 4.

Peak demand across California runs May–September. Dates outside that window, and dates away from the last and first few days of any month, are where carriers have spare capacity — and spare capacity is what makes a crew negotiable on price.
We do not publish a percentage saving for moving off-peak in Long Beach. We hold no month-by-month booking price data for this city, and a discount figure taken from a national average would not describe this market. What we can say is structural, and it holds in every market:
The only reliable way to price a specific date is to put the same date in front of several licensed carriers and compare written estimates. Ask each one what the same move costs two weeks earlier or later — the gap between those two numbers is your real off-peak saving in Long Beach, measured on your move rather than on an average.
A tip is never part of a written estimate and never part of a binding price. It is discretionary, it is paid per mover rather than per crew, and it is handed to each mover directly at the end of the job rather than to the foreman to divide. Our working guideline scales with hours rather than with the value of the shipment, because that is how moving labour is actually priced:
These are a BestMovers.info editorial guideline, not a survey result. We hold no tipping survey for Long Beach and no federal record covers gratuities, so nothing here is a local figure. Read the full tipping guide for stairs, long carries, storage and interstate deliveries, where the crew that loads is not the crew that unloads.
Free boxes come from businesses that receive stock in cartons and throw the cartons away, and from households that finished moving last week. The sources are the same in every city, including Long Beach:
Ask in the morning, when the overnight delivery has just been unpacked and the cartons have not yet been flattened. Skip anything damp, greasy or previously used for produce that leaked. The free boxes guide covers how many you need by home size — those counts are BestMovers.info planning estimates rather than measured figures — and which boxes are worth buying rather than scavenging.
