We hired this company to for packing, unpacking, and moving from Long Island to Bronx. My fiance specifically told them that she was alone, and had no time to pack and unpack because she would be arriving from a conference the day prior to the scheduled move. She had several conversations with the manager, and confirmed her request via telephone on 3 different occassions. He sent her an invoice but it did not include the word unpacking in it. He told her not to worry, that it will be done, even though it's not in the contract. The workers showed up, and didn't know anything about her special request. From the beginning, they were complaining that it was too much work. The lead mover was upset because he wasn't making money off of us from packing materials and boxes, because we had our own. The workers constantly complained that they weren't being paid enough by the company. The lead mover also practically demanded a 30 - 40 % tip to cover him and his 2 workers. I told him the tip would be commensurate with the job performance, at the end! He wanted us to pay the balance in full prior to moving the furniture to the new location. He was unprofessional and innapropriate. When they got to the Bronx, they refused to do any unpacking. We called the company, and spoke t the manager, who had previously made the arrangements with my fiance, and then the owner, who said that they would not do it because it was not written in the contract. We spent 1/2 hour arguing with these people on the phone, and the movers did not want to bring up the last piece of furniture until we secured payment with them. We refused to pay until the job was complete. Also, one of our boxes was missing, and they banged into my wooden bed frame, damaging a wooden pillar. I wouldn't recommend these guys to an enemy. Ben Hur Moving Company Stinks. Trust me. Don't do it, please. Save yourself the frustration. Go with a more reliable company, even if it costs you a little more.

Pros: None

Cons: They offer a service and don't follow through with it - ie. unpacking; Offer lousy service.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Movers were fast , efficient and reliable. The guys were very helpful, they even helped me pack items that were not scheduled to be moved. I have a lot of antiques and everything was very well taken care of everything was moved and put on place at my new apt. I can't complaint i had an extraordinary service for a very low cost. Just couldn't ask for more.

Pros: GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAT
