You will want them to move you... After my first move from Miami to New York City, during which I used movers, I was very disappointed with the whole industry. I therefore moved from SC to FL myself with multiple U-Haul Trailers. This was a very tiresome and long experience.

My most recent move was from New York City to Atlanta and I went with Ideal Moving & Storage Inc.

Admittedly, I was sceptical at first; however the entire experience has been very eye opening and positive.

Their quote over the phone was a bit off (probably due to the fact that I have a ridiculous amount of Chachke). I dealt directly with JC and she was at all-time extremely professional, helpful and available.

The Pickup: Feb 1st 2013

The three man team was late by only 20 minutes but they made up the time in loading everything carefully and efficiently. The team was courteous and willing to help pack the last few items.

The team leader contacted the delivery driver directly in front of me to confirm the date of delivery Feb 5th 2013

En route: Feb 4th 2013

I received a phone call directly from the driver stating that he would be there in the afternoon between 1pm and 2pm. He told me that the balance would have to be paid in terms of money order or cash. However, I had already discussed using a Cashier's Check with the office previously.

Again, not a problem. She called the driver and it was all taken care of.

Delivery: Feb 5th 2013

At noon, the driver contacted me that he was an hour away.

All items were delivered carefully and efficiently.

I have just finished unpacking and so far I do not see ANY thing damaged. Quite impressive.

I did have to pay an additional Long Carry charge on delivery. However, once I saw the distance we had to walk from the elevator, I would have charged myself that!

Overall:

Extremely professional moving company for a reasonable rate.

I will likely be moving again in two years and hope that they are still around. I have already recommended four other people to use their services.

Thank you all.

STAY AWAY FROM IDEAL MOVING & STORAGE, Jacque Cole and Jacob were nice before the move but my move quickly turned into a nightmare> Ten boxes of personal stuff lost, thirteen days late and over $2,700 worth of damage and I was offered $79 as compensation.

Absolutely disgraceful. They were so nice and pleasant when I called. Then they picked up my stuff in New York and had failed to check that there was a street festival on something they admitted they should have known. They charged me extra for the walk then doubled my quote. Despite giving me a guarantee that my stuff would arrive over a 4 day window they then denied it when it was delayed. And they only told me they didn't deliver on weekends the day it was supposed to arrive. The estimate was $1070 and they charged me $2100. Plus I had to pay for a hotel because they had my bed and furniture. Just atrocious.

Very experienced and conscientious. You can be proud of your company because the team you sent was a pleasure to work with. They were a very experienced and conscientious group who worked with extreme speed and expertise. They were gracious and considerate. There was absolutely no overcharge or hidden expenses. And, everything arrived intact. In fact, some minor repairs were made where there were loose hinges and screws!

The move was made effortless and stressless for me and I would only give you the highest recommendation. In addition to my moving day experience I must also compliment your very competent efforts arranging the move and advising me prior to the move.

you stood head and shoulders above the rest. I just wanted to take the time to thank you for the service your company provided to assist me with my move. From the moment I talked to you on the phone when I was calling around for estimates, you stood head and shoulders above the rest because of your courtesy and professionalism.

your company was very helpful and professional. Your company helped us move to a new apartment. So we wanted to take a moment to thank you. Even though the move was not a huge one your company was very helpful and professional. We were delighted with the way your crew handled everything and treated our furniture like it was their own. Thank you.

Thank you Jacque-you the first in moving. What can I say- spoke to ideal among other moving comonaies, but decided to go with some smack who did not show up on move date nor the next day- they were not equipped to do a small job and yet they claim they are moving professional company- good pitch but pissed me the hell off for not showing up. Thankfully I had all the mover emails still floating around, and called the same movers in desperations. They all said yes immediately- well I hang up, not ready to be fooled twice.

I spoke to Jacque, she did not do the silly customer sales man speech of we will be there- she instead said, will find out if we can accommodate you- “she had me at we check first” . She called back and said working on it and to give her 10minutes. Well 25 minutes later- they were able to add me to the schedule. I just got all my stuff in their Pink truck at the most reasonable price. Wish I had not wasted my time and listened to the horror story sales pitch. A business is worth a million dollars if their employees remain professional and sincere. I love this lady and we just met. NYC if you need movers, please call Jacque @ Ideal and listen to what she has to say first, she definitely did right by me. Last minute too.

Everything was moved without a hitch. I was moving about 10 miles away and I must have called 5 different moving companies to get quotes, every called made my anxiety level go up, I hate moving! When I called Ideal (which should have been my first call, not my 5th), the lady who answered the phone made me feel SO MUCH BETTER! I had lived in the same apartment for 10 years, so I forgot what a task it would be to move. She gave me some advice that would make it easier, plus they were the lowest price, hey $100 bucks, is $100 bucks! Anyway, when the movers came, they wrapped up my stuff, and fit everything in to one load. When I was carrying boxes, the movers said 'let me help you with that' and carried those boxes too. Everything was moved without a hitch, it only took a few hours, when I was expecting all day. I don't know why I was so worked up about moving, either it really can be that easy, or the Ideal movers made it seem easy. So, I'm going to recommend to all of my friends to use Ideal. CALL IDEAL FIRST

They were very polite. I would like to thank Ideal Moving for all of the professional help that they provided towards myself as well as my family. At the time of my move from Brooklyn, NY, my family and I were going through financial problems due to my mother being in the hospital. I had to relocate to Atlanta, GA due to this situation on limited money. When Lisa contacted me, they were very willing to work with me and my financial situation. On the day of my move, the workers were terrific! They were very polite and handled all of my items with care, they even went out of their way to help me with a few things around the house that needed to be packed. Overall I would recommend Ideal Moving to anyone that will be moving if they are looking for a company that is not a fraud and is willing to work with you. Thank you again... You Guys are GREAT
