Well run company and great move

by Lilyrocks at Citysearch

Starcity moving is a really well run company. They make you feel like your business means something to them. It seems like they're trying to set themselves apart from the pack. Any of my inquiries were answered within the hour and every person I dealt with was competent and friendly.

I had a quite complex move, namely having to move a 3 bedroom apartment from the Upper East Side to Soho. There were roughly 200 boxes, 2 cribs, a sofa, a loveseat, 2 armoires, 5 dressers etc. I was worried that a move of my magnitude would wind up taking 8-10 hours. When I called countless moving companies I received hourly quotes ranging from $120-160/hr. Every mover said the move would take roughly 8-10 hours for 3 workers. To my surprise, when I spoke to Rachel from Starcity I was given a flat rate that was based upon a 6-7 hour timeframe. In other words, starcity committed itself to stand by its flat rate no matter how long the move take. Plus these guys seemed really friendly and helpful. This was a no brainer decision since I knew exactly what to expect.

On the day of the move, 3 energetic guys showed up and got right to work. Two guys started moving the boxes while a 3rd took his time to shrink and blanket wrap all of our furniture. It took them only 3hours to load up the truck and 2 hours to unload. The entire move ended up taking 6 hours max from start to finish. I received a great service, had my peace of my mind and didn't have to worry about a ballooning bill with other inefficient movers.

Starcity moving is an incredibly well run company and deserves your business. Highly recommended!

Thoroughly impressed- great value

by harrykro at Citysearch

Quite easily the best moving experience I've ever had. They handled my fragile items with extreme care while, at the same time, managing to complete the move swiftly and flawlessly. The movers had this positive energy about them and were really friendly and accommodating. Their quote was reasonable yet their level of service actually exceeded those of larger companies I've used before (i.e. Flatrate and Oz).

My move went as smoothly as I can possibly imagine and I cannot recommend these guys enough! I've already referred them two of my coworkers who were also thoroughly impressed.

• Pros: Professional, great value for level of service

Great Moving Experience

by RichArgor at Citysearch

I cannot thank these guys enough. They were very fast yet careful, friendly yet professional. I had a 2-hour elevator reservation in both buildings and I was afraid that we would miss the 2nd building's reservation due to the movers not being quick enough with loading my stuff. But I was wrong! Even with them wrapping all of my furniture with shrink wrap and moving blankets, they made it to my new building with time to spare! They didn't take any breaks (I normally see movers smoking cigarettes and bumming around). Not these guys- they really hustled.

I will be calling them when I move again, for sure.
