Smooth Move

by yubbajr

Our experience with Moishe's was excellent from start to finish.

We had Adi come in to our apartment in Astoria to give us what I thought was an estimate for our move. He was very pleasant, and offered some tips to make the move faster (like using colored dots from Staples on boxes to color code rooms). After calculating everything, he told me he could do the move for $1200. I was under the impression that this price could change, depending on how long the move would take. However, after calling to ask, I was told that in fact, the price given was the price that we would pay.

Since this price was lower than two other prices I received, I booked with Moishe's. I was still expecting that I may have to pay more, since it seems that movers always find something else to charge you for.

The movers were scheduled to arrive at 9 am on the day of our move. We were up early (5:30 am) so when they called at 7:30 we were happy to have them get started (they did offer to wait until 9 if we were not ready for them). They quickly and carefully moved all our boxes out (we boxed almost everything - it really saves time). Then they wrapped and moved our furniture. They removed the legs from the couch, took the table off the pedestal and removed the headboard from the bed.

The entire 2 bedroom apartment was packed up by 9:30 and the movers were on their way to our new house in Merrick on Long Island. The movers arrived at the house around 10:30 (not bad since the truck can't use parkways) and they began to unload and reassemble the furniture they had taken apart for the move. The entire process was done by noon - about four and a half hours. When it came time to pay, I handed over $1200. No extra charges, no hidden fees. For me, that's huge. I highly recommend Moishe's - just make sure you're getting a flat price for the move, that way you'll know ahead of time what you're going to pay.

A Straightforward Move

by VV555

I was apprehensive about calling a moving company because I didn't want to start the tedious process of moving. Finally I called Moishe's after three days of putting it off. Kat was amazingly helpful, walking me through the steps and explaining everything clearly. Kat made the moving process so transparent. I never thought moving could be so clear and simple. Of course the move was long and tiring, but that's to be expected I suppose. Everything went as smoothly as a move can go. I was impressed by the movers apparent skill and professionalism. I have a couple of pieces of antique furniture and I was quite pleased with the care that the movers handled them with. Thanks Kat and Moishe's for a smooth move.

First move that didn't cause a headache!

by jahi282

Having had some pretty awful movers in the past, I am always skeptical about hiring moving companies. However, Courtney was super nice and helpful from the beginning. The day of the move I realized I had some stuff I didn't tell them about so I called them up half an hour before my scheduled move and they had no problem and only charged me a little bit more.

Tony and his crew were awesome. They were so efficient (all three of them were always working as opposed to most moving companies were one guy will always just stand around) and were extremely careful about wrapping all of my fragile items.

The price was great--about half of what I was quoted by Big John's and Flat Rate. My move was semi local--NYC to Hoboken. Highly recommended!

Moving is Easy with Moishe's

by Aron25

If you can say moving and easy in the same breath, then you've moved with Moishe's. I, like most people dread moving. Last time I moved it was a short move, so I thought I could do it on my own, with only the help of a couple friends. Four trips and nine hours later, the only thing I was glad about, besides the fact that I was done, was the fact that I had a Honda Pilot and not a Civic, otherwise I would have been moving all night.

...So, when I decided to move to The City earlier this year, I knew I was going to hire a professional. I knew I wanted a company that would know the ins and outs of moving in New York City and wouldn't rip me off. I had heard good things about Moishe's, and everything I read about them seemed great. I even saw one of their big red trucks in The City. Every person I spoke with at Moishe's was really helpful, in a way that I usually only associate with small mom-and-pop businesses. The move was a breeze, everything went so smoothly, and nothing was broken! I had always thought that breaking stuff was just a part of moving, but not with Moishe's. I know that I'll be moving with Moishe's again. Thanks to Moishe's, I think I can say, "moving is easy".

Highly Recommend

by Dean718

Until I moved to New York, I always moved myself. But when I compared the prices of truck rental, plus thinking about all of the heavy lifting and traffic involved, I decided to ask around about moving companies. Several coworkers recommended Moishe's, and when I called to inquire, they were quite helpful on the phone. Then they sent Joel to come to my apartment and examine my belongings for the estimate, which was a little more than I expected. Joel explained that many companies tempt you with a low price that is unrealistic and then add fees at the last minute. I talked to my friends who had used moving companies, and many of them had paid much more than what I was quoted, so I went for it. Well, it all ended up being worth it on moving day, moving from one part of Manhattan to another on a busy Saturday, and these guys were total pros. I couldn't believe how fast they got me into my new place! And it cost exactly what they quoted me, which was a relief. Writing this review is the least I can do, thanks guys!

Best Moving Experience

by ryanm116

I have been recommending Moishe's to all my friends. The entire experience was easy and painless. From the beginning over the phone with Courtney Moore, she sent us a free kit of boxes and tape, and was extremely professional and courteous.

The team that moved us was fast, efficient, and friendly. Ananda the team leader was great, Tomas and the other gentleman, sorry I can't remember his name, were fast yet careful with our belongings.

We did a two-apartment move into a single apartment. Their original estimate was $750 but when they finished it only ended up being $450. AWESOME.

This move was surprisingly easy.

by Gmoyn

I'm always stressed when I move. So when I called Moishe's I was ready to put up a fight and get the best deal. Courtney was actually very nice on the phone, and Roi was well-dressed and well-mannered when he came to give me the in-house estimate. The price was a bit more than the other companies, but it's totally worth it. They came on time, loaded the truck, unloaded in the new place, and were very polite the entire time.

Nothing was broken or ruined during the move - which is probably a first. Thanks, Moishe's!

Friendliest Movers I've Ever Had!

by Kara May

I had just gone through a terrible divorce and the last thing I wanted to deal with was getting ripped off by a moving company. I heard from some friends that Moishe's were trustworthy, and when I called they sent a nice young woman to estimate the cost of my move from the Upper West Side to Brooklyn. I compared the cost with two other companies, and decided to go with Moishe's because I had heard such good things. Well, I am glad I did! Not only did my movers make me feel comfortable and relaxed on an otherwise emotional day, they moved everything so fast, that it was practically painless! They carefully wrapped my furniture and even gave me a free mattress box. I am so glad that my moving day was not a horror story, like my marriage was. Onto bigger and better things, thank you Moishe's!

Fantastic NYC Moving Company

by ghost98

I was doing a search for New York moving companies for atleast 3 weeks..reading reviews and doing my due diligence before making a decision. I've moved 2 times in my life and both were disasters. I finally choose moishe's after a specialist came out to my Apt and quoted me on the spot free of charge. The transition was easy, everything was packed correctly and they were on time - No hassle. This move was a breeze compared to my other experiences and I am writing this review to say thanks to Moishe's!

Reliable Moving Company

by TReprise

Moishe's showed up on time and were very careful packaging all my belongings. I really appreciate everything they did for me in such short notice. This is a great NYC moving company who I would recommend to anyone!
