What we collect

When you fill out a quote form on this site, we collect: name, email, phone number, origin and destination addresses or ZIP codes, move size, and move date. When you call us, we collect that same information by writing it down at booking. We don't collect anything else — no Social Security numbers, no driver's license, no payment info on the website (we collect payment by phone or in person).

What we do with it

We use your information to give you a quote, schedule your move, send you a confirmation, and bill you after the job. That's it. We don't sell your information to third parties. We don't share it with marketing companies. We don't add you to email lists you didn't ask for.

Cookies and analytics

This site uses Google Analytics to track basic visitor patterns (how many people visited, what pages they viewed). Google sets cookies as part of that. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Data we retain

We keep your move information for 7 years for tax and insurance purposes (Arizona business records requirement). After that we shred or delete it. If you'd like us to delete your info sooner — and you're not actively a customer — email [email protected].

Children

This site isn't directed at children under 13 and we don't knowingly collect information from children.

Changes

If we change this policy materially, we'll update the date at the top. For active customers we'll email you. For everyone else, we'll post the update on this page.

Marcus Delgado Founder & Owner

Meet the owner

"We started with one truck off 27th Ave. 14 years later we're still on 27th Ave."

I'm Marcus Delgado. I grew up in Mesa — third-generation Arizonan on my mom's side, my abuelo came up from Sonora in the 60s. Before Desert Ridge I spent eight years dispatching for a Mayflower agent in the West Valley.

In 2012 I bought a used Freightliner with my two brothers and rented bay 4 of a warehouse off North 27th Ave. We did three jobs that first week. We're still in the same building, just with five more trucks and fourteen people on payroll.

What's stayed the same: I personally pick up the phone after 6pm. We don't pay our dispatchers commission so they have no reason to oversell you a packing kit you don't need. And every crew has at least one bilingual mover — we serve Phoenix the way Phoenix actually is.

What Phoenix is saying

Janelle R.
★★★★★

"Hired Desert Ridge for a 2-bedroom move from Tempe to North Scottsdale. Three guys, six hours, $890 flat. Foreman Hector walked me through the bill before they unloaded — no surprises. They wrapped my mom's piano without me asking."

Diego M.
★★★★★

"Used them twice. Second time was Mesa to Gilbert in July, 109°F outside. Crew kept the truck doors closed except for loading and ran a small fan inside — none of my records warped. Hablan español lo cual ayudó con mis padres."

Patricia K.
★★★★★

"Downsizing after 32 years in the same house. The guys were patient with my labeling system and didn't push to upsell packing materials I didn't need. Estimate was within $40 of the final bill."

Trevor S.
★★★★

"Long-distance to Denver. Loaded Friday in Chandler, delivered Tuesday morning in Lakewood. One small dent on a dresser, they Venmo'd me $75 same day to settle it. Honest about what insurance does and doesn't cover."

Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should I book my Phoenix move?

For local moves we usually have spots within 7–10 days. May through August is our heaviest season — book 3 weeks out if you want a Saturday. For long-distance we need 2–3 weeks lead time to schedule the route.

Do you charge by the hour or flat rate?

Local moves under 50 miles are hourly — flat hourly with no fuel surcharge. Long-distance is a flat per-job quote based on weight and distance. We do an in-home or video walkthrough before quoting anything over a studio.

What happens if my stuff gets damaged?

Standard liability is 60¢ per pound per item — that's federal minimum, included free. Most customers add Full Value Protection at $9 per $1,000 of declared value. We document any damage on the spot and settle within 7 days.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — USDOT 1734502, MC-823491, Arizona Weights & Measures #WM-AZ-09827. We carry $1M goods-in-transit coverage and full Workers' Comp under Arizona ICA. Certificate of Insurance available on request.

Do you move pianos and pool tables?

Yes. We move uprights and baby grands regularly — 4-man crew, blankets, dollies, board for stairs. Slate pool tables we disassemble, transport, and re-level on-site (we charge a flat $450 in metro Phoenix).

Phoenix heat — does it damage my stuff in the truck?

Trucks hit 130°+ inside in summer. We load heat-sensitive items last (electronics, vinyl, candles, wine, medications) so they're in the truck the shortest time, and our long-distance loads run with insulated blankets over those crates. Full breakdown on our packing services page.
