This location can be a little hard to find if you're looking for a sign (but worth it). Instead, look for a the Box Bros trucks in the large parking lot on the corner of Beach and Ivy. Then enter thru the side door toward the inner corner of the building, just off a loading dock. Inside you'll find a massive warehouse where the team is expertly packaging and crating furniture and art work to be delivered around the world. They sell a number of packing supplies on site (regular packing boxes and specialty TV and mirror/art boxes, kits for dishes, lamps, etc). If you have a special item that needs professional packing, ask for Adam. He's delightful and super helpful as well as honest and willing to work with you on price. He's not trying to upsell you on anything you don't need but knows his stuff--like being able to advise on the necessary packing required to make an insurance claim in the event that something gets damaged in a move. I am in the midst of a cross-country move and their services probably saved me about $1000 vs. having the movers package our items. I'd definitely use their services again in the future.

Booking Box Brothers Inglewood for my small move was the most expensive mistake I have made in my life so far (knock on wood.)  I was naïve and careless and I hope my Yelp review can save others from the same stress!Things Box Brothers failed to do:- Provide a visual inspection and written estimate.  According to the CPUC phone/internet estimates are prohibited.- Provide a Moving Services Agreement or contract containing a Not to Exceed price.- Provide "Important Notice About Your Move" and "Important Information For Persons Moving Household Goods (within California") booklet.  (The law actually entitles you to a $100 refund if your moving company doesn't give these to you.)Things Box Brothers did do:- Book an initial date and then cancel it.- Increase the initial estimate from $85 to $125 a couple of weeks later from two moving guys to three (this was fair but wasn't sorted out in the initial verbal estimate) - Move and reassemble our furniture without damaging 99% of it(yay)- Helpfully fix an old, beat up bookshelf that fell apart coming off the truck.- Charge us $100 for the 45 min it took for them to drive 9 miles from their warehouse in Inglewood to West LA, even though CPUC laws state that moving companies cannot charge you for this driving time.- When we protested this driving time, they gave inconsistent times as to to when the truck left the warehouse stating it took them 1 hour and 15 minutes to drive 9 miles.- Operate in the State of California as a moving company WITHOUT A LICENSE to be a moving company.   (Having been denied a license in 1997 and never bothering to reapply?!)- Steal my engagement ring on the way out.- Accuse me of lying about them stealing my ring- Ignore my calls about the stolen ring- State they are going to give me a refund and then stop following up for two weeks straight.Things you should do so you aren't screwed over like me:- Book a company that is actually licensed to operate in California by checking on the CPUC website.  - Read the CPUC website on moving scams before booking- Get things in writing- Don't leave valuable crap out for movers to stealTl;dr Box Brothers Inglewood broke several California moving company laws AND one of their movers stole my engagement ring.  On the flip side, they did move my friend with no problems.  I guess it depends on if the lack of a license to operate legally is a deal breaker for you...

I used Box Brothers for my cross country move from NC to CA. Box Brothers proved to be reliable, reasonably priced and efficient in handling my move.  Not only were my household goods professionally handled without incident, but also delivered in a timely fashion. The only obstacle i encountered during my move was that Box Brothers was unable to deliver on the Saturday I was scheduled to move into my apartment. However, Box Brothers did provide me access to my things at their warehouse and had staff available to assist in transport of my items to a UHaul. I would highly recommend Box Brothers to anyone who needs help with a small move.

Very smooth operation from Los Angeles to Baton Rouge.  Picked up small qty of furniture, pack and ship by truck.  They nailed it.  Chris Green the manager was very professional, accommodating, great communication and fair in his pricing.The 3 guy pickup team was awesome (sorry...dont remember names but regulars) efficient, on time, knew exactly what to do.  They boxed, packed and wrapped items for good and safe transport...AND were very gracious answering my questions. Even during the recent flood in baton rouge...Chris arranged to fly someone in to help with the shipment.  Thank you Chris and team.  My client, was very pleased with the delivery and condition of the items. ALSO......Lets not forget DAVE FERGUSEN..from the Brentwood Store and formerly was at the WEHO store.  we've been working together on packing for years.  HES THE BEST and MAStER PACKER!!!Thank you for your high recommendation to use Chris at the shipping center.It was a great decision.  Beth Schnierow

I had this Box Brothers location handle my recent cross-country (from CA to FL) small move and they did a great job. No furniture, just household goods and personal items. Good communication throughout. The two employees who came to pack up my things arrived on time and were friendly, courteous, and able to answer the few questions I had. My items were brought to their warehouse, re-packed onto a pallet, and then trucked to my new home via a third party freight shipping company. My stuff made the cross country journey within the early end of the estimated time frame (only seven days from pick-up in CA to delivery in FL) and the pallet was delivered to my driveway. Upon opening all of the boxes, there were a few items (framed artwork) that I felt could've been packed more thoroughly, but nothing is broken or damaged so it's all good. All glassware was very well packed. Box Brothers managed my small move for a reasonable price and I would use them again.
