What is the Personal Property Office in San Diego, and do I go there first?
Yes, before you book anything. The personal property office is the government office that sets up your PCS household goods shipment, and every San Diego installation routes through one: the Navy and Marine Corps both run a personal property or distribution management shop for their base. It is the office that counsels you on your options, confirms your weight allowance, and enters the shipment. Master Movers San Diego is not that office and cannot enter a shipment for you. Look up your own installation's household goods page on MilitaryINSTALLATIONS (installations.militaryonesource.mil) for the current office location and phone, because building numbers and customer service lines change and a stale number costs you a day.

Both, depending on your situation. If you're using your government-procured DPS move, we can sometimes serve as a contracted local agent.
