If you live in Long Beach, California, you probably know that you have several different options when it comes to getting rid of the junk that is taking up important space in your home or business. For any junk item that is larger than what can fit in your regular trash bin, you are almost always better off hiring a private junk hauler rather than scheduling a bulk item pickup with your regular trash service. Though the public trash service in Long Beach does offer bulky item pickup, you will have to schedule a date far in advance, haul all your junk out to the curb on the morning of the pickup, and abide by a lengthy and complicated list of prohibited items.
If you don’t want to deal with that hassle, what do you need to know when choosing between the different private junk removal companies that operate in the Long Beach area? In this in-depth review, we will compare two of the most commonly-used junk removal companies in the Long Beach area: Junk King and Load Up. By the end of the article, we hope you´ll be convinced that Junk King of Long Beach continues to offer the absolute best way to help individuals and businesses deal with their junk removal needs in the most efficient and environmentally friendly way.
Pros and Cons of LoadUp in Long Beach
LoadUp Junk Removal was founded back in 2014 because their founder felt that there was a lack of transparency in how junk removal companies operated. Instead of waiting until pickup day to receive an accurate quote for the junk removal service requested, Load Up promises to offer a fair quote (and honor that quote) before the junk removal team ever shows up at your home or business. In this way, the company hopes to eliminate some of the uncertainty and blatantly dishonest pricing structures that have plagued some companies that operate in the private junk removal industry.
Pros of Load Up
- Upfront pricing: The company does offer upfront pricing for their junk removal needs, and customers can expect to pay what they were quoted.
- Online booking software: Load Up Junk Removal also has an online pricing and booking software that can be accessed on their website.
- Reliable and trustworthy junk hauling crews: The company also claims to do routine background checks on all of their crew members.
- Real-time junk truck tracking: The company also has a junk truck tracking tool, so that their clients can find out when their junk removal team will show up at their property.
Cons of Load Up
- Limited additional services: Load Up Junk Removal does not offer any sort of demolition services for the junk items they pick up. This essentially means that you will have to disassemble any larger items (think playground sets or old hot tubs) that are too large or heavy to be taken away as a whole.
- Confusing and difficult to use online pricing: One of the main complaints that many users of Load Up have logged in the past is related to their confusing and difficult online pricing tool. For example, the company actually charges different prices for similar items. A plastic sandbox costs $89 to haul away in Mesa, Arizona, while a wooden one costs $109. This means that if the customer does not specifically identify each item you need hauled away, you will most likely be charged more when the junk pickup day rolls around. Many customer reviews have indicated that the price changed for their junk removal services was higher than the “guaranteed” price given upfront.
- Requires more time on your end: In many cases, you may be looking for the quickest and efficient way to get rid of your junk items. With Load Up, you may find that it takes a significant amount of time and effort to get a reliable quote via their website.
- Other customer complaints: Lastly, some online reviews for LoadUp in Long Beach even mention that the customer had to help the company load the items onto the trucks due to a lack of employees that showed up to get the job done.
