Downtown LA Movers – Local Moving Experts You Can Trust
Moving in Downtown LA? Then You Already Know - It's Not Easy
If you're moving into a high-rise near the Arts District, or downsizing from a loft off Spring Street, you already know: Downtown LA is chaos without a plan. Freight elevators are booked days in advance, parking is impossible without permits, and loading zones? Forget it. That's where iBox Moving steps in - not just with muscle, but with experience navigating every building from Bunker Hill to Little Tokyo.
We Don't Just Move Boxes - We Manage Downtown Obstacles
We've relocated digital agencies off 7th Street, packed full apartments in South Park's towers, and helped couples move into converted warehouses on Traction Ave. We've negotiated with building managers, coordinated multiple elevator runs, and even disassembled oversized art installations to fit into freight lifts. If it's been done in Downtown, we've probably done it already - better.
Actual Moves We've Completed Downtown
- Creative studio relocation from Broadway to Flower Street - after hours, no disruption
- Luxury condo move-in on Olive St with HOA escort and 2-hour time limit
- Pop-up retail pack-out after Anime Expo weekend at LA Convention Center
We show up early. We bring the paperwork. We talk to security before the first box is touched. That's why building concierges remember us - and recommend us. Downtown doesn't forgive amateurs, and neither do we.

Ultimate Moving Checklist – What to Do & When
Moving soon? Most people forget the key steps until it's too late. Here’s your moving checklist in under a minute.
Eight weeks before, declutter your home and start reaching out for quotes. At six weeks, order packing supplies and box up things you rarely use. Four weeks out, confirm your mover, update your address, and pack your main rooms. Two weeks before, finish packing non-essentials, set aside your documents, and plan time off.
During moving week, pack a small bag with clothes, toiletries, and your charger. Clean the place and prepare for the final walkthrough. On moving day, walk your movers through the house, double-check every room, and head out.
After the move, unpack the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom first. Or skip the stress and let "iBox Moving" take care of everything. Follow us for more real-world moving tips.

How to Pack for a Move – Smart Tips from iBox Moving
Packing is one of the most important parts of any move — and doing it right can save time, money, and stress. At iBox Moving, we’ve helped thousands of families and businesses pack efficiently and safely. Here’s how to do it like a pro.
1. Start Early and Stay Organized
Begin packing at least 2–3 weeks before your move. Label boxes clearly with room names and contents. Keep similar items together and avoid mixing rooms in one box.
2. Use High-Quality Supplies
Invest in sturdy boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and strong tape. Avoid grocery store boxes — they’re often too weak or dirty. Ask us if you need supplies — we’ve got plenty.
3. Pack Room-by-Room
Start with rooms you use the least, like guest bedrooms or storage areas. Save daily essentials for last and keep a “first-night box” with things like toiletries, chargers, and snacks.
4. Protect Fragile Items
Wrap glassware, dishes, and electronics with care. Use bubble wrap, towels, or clothes as cushioning. Clearly mark boxes with fragile items.
5. Don’t Overpack
Keep box weight under 50 lbs whenever possible. Heavy items like books should go in smaller boxes; lighter items like bedding can go in large ones.

How Should I Prepare for Moving Day?
Good preparation makes your move smoother, faster, and more stress-free. Whether you're packing yourself or using our services, a few simple steps can make a big difference.
General Prep Tips
- Finish Packing Before Movers Arrive: Have boxes taped, labeled, and ready to go (unless you’ve booked our packing service).
- Label Boxes Clearly: Indicate contents and destination room — e.g., “Kitchen – Fragile.”
- Reserve Elevators or Parking: If you live in an apartment or high-rise, notify building management ahead of time.
- Disconnect Appliances: Unplug washers, dryers, and refrigerators in advance.
- Secure Pets and Kids: Keep them safely out of the way during the move for their safety and the crew’s.
Furniture Prep
- Remove items from drawers to avoid shifting during transport
- Disassemble beds and desks ahead of time (if you prefer to save time)
- Take photos of complex setups (TV wiring, shelving, etc.) for easy reassembly
Valuables and Essentials
- Keep jewelry, cash, documents, and laptops with you
- Pack an “Essentials Box” with items you'll need right away — chargers, clothes, toiletries, etc.
