Reviews & Ratings for Yankee Movers

They mean strictly business!

by leemack542

The 3 young movers ( Robbie, Zach & Ming) swiftly carried loads of heavy boxes, clumsy big furniture, racks of loose clothing, and miscellaneous loose items from a fourth floor walk-up to a two floor walk-up on a freezing day in less than 3 hours. They did so with ease, precision, resourcefulness and at a fair price.

Third time using Yankee Movers

by claudemassey949

Third time using Yankee Movers and same crew in all three of my moves, and I could not be happier. I wanted to thank Sam, Briston and Jampa for the excellent service you provide in all of my moves. Long story short... appreciate the professionalism, respect and commitment to customer satisfaction (which is very rare these days) in any service.

I moved Lama Accounting office a year ago. I watched the movers. They performed the best job. They are fast rapid moving company. I am 100% satisfied with their work. Their performance level is standard and professional. Please use Yankee Movers for your moving needs.

True professional and reliable moving company….

Careful, professional, and eager to please their customer, Yankee Movers did a top notch job! First time experience with a moving company and they did not fail us, they were terrific and hardworking! The 3 men crew Eddie, Britson and Jampa sufficiently accommodated all my needs and I was fully satisfied with their service. They wrapped all my furniture carefully and even added packing paper to some of my boxes that they thought were poorly packed. They cleared my 1.5 apartment in Park Slope in less than 4 hours and another 2 hours to unload in my new apartment in Manhattan. I would have to say I was totally pleasant with the entire moving process from start to finish. Please feel free to put me in the list of your satisfied customers as a reference!

Moving Company Worth Every Penny!

This review was long overdue. Yankee Movers moved me a week before Christmas to my new house in Dix Hills. It was an all day move with packing, wrapping, crating, loading, unloading, etc. The team of 6 movers lead by Sam arrived 5 minutes after the schedule time, but since the move was a binding estimate we were not worried about them being 5 minutes late. Once all paperwork were signed, the movers got right to work. A female packer, Cynthia was packing all the kitchen items, 3 of them wrapped all the furniture’s in the living room, dining room, and the 2.5 bedrooms. The other 2 was helping carry all the wrapped furnitures along with boxes in the truck while Sam was organizing both trucks to make sure all our goods fitted perfectly in both the trucks. From past experiences, the movers I hired treated my items like garbage bags. Such was not the case with Yankee Movers.

All six movers were very careful with our belongings and treated them with extreme caution. Once loading was finished, they headed straight to my new home in Dix Hills and started unloading. The manner in which the movers carried out the entire moving procedure showed the dedication and pride they had in their work. All the furniture’s were unwrapped and placed carefully to my orders. It was a long day of manual labor and all credits goes to the movers of Yankee Movers along with their office agent Steven who was cooperative and super friendly throughout the move. Thank you again for the job well done and will absolutely recommend all my friends/relatives to your company.

Exceptional Service & Professional Moving Team!

I recently scheduled a small business move in midtown mahattan that had to take place after business hours.I had agents from different moving companies visit our office to provide an estimate, and was fortunate to find Yankee Movers. The agent, Dennis was very professional, answered all of my questions,and provided the necessary insurance requirements for the building. He gave me a 8:00 to 8:30 window when his movers would arrive, and they showed up right at 8:00. Eddie and his assistant were courteous, hard working and finished my move without any problem. The estimated time was about 8-10 hours of work but it took an extra hour of work due to elevator issue.

I would definitely recommend Yankee Movers should I need to move personally. Nice job and thank you.

Made my move completely painless!

Moving is never an exciting experience. This was my first time hiring a moving company. A friend who had previously moved recommended Yankee movers. She had used them a couple months earlier and had a great experience using them. At first I was a bit hesitant even though her move with this company seemingly went ok didn’t mean mine would too. I had expensive items and other fragile items that I was worried they would get damaged. I went on their website to check it out and still wasn’t convinced enough so I gave them a call. The representative I spoke to was professional, he was very informative and the rate was good so I decided to book with them. On the day of the move they were a little late but I didn’t make a big deal of it my only concern was that my items would be handled with care and reach safely without any damages.

I kept eye on the movers throughout the entire process. The movers seemed to know what they were doing; they wrapped and packed all items accordingly. They quickly and carefully moved all my stuff without anything being damaged. I would highly recommend Yankee Movers to anyone looking for a moving company.

Could not have asked for more!

I spoke to several moving companies before settling on Yankee Movers, but was still nervous about my things (five 7-ft tall Ikea wardrobe units) surviving the move. It turns out that there was nothing to worry about. Not only did they offer a great, fair price, but the crew (Britson, Sam and Kumar) was highly professional, great to work with and even more careful than I was with my own belongings. The day was long, but it was made much easier with such great movers.

Gross Incompetence

by pmdec

I hired Yankee Movers to move me from Astoria to Long Island. Their office is literally a 15 minute drive from the location I was moving from, yet a half hour after they were supposed to arrive I received a call from the driver asking my address. They finally showed up 45 minutes late and, in all fairness, were relatively efficent and packed my furniture well.

Under ordinary circumstances, it would take about 45 minutes to drive from the place I was moving from and to. I allowed 2 hours and they had not arrived. After about 3 hours I received a phone call from the office informing me that the truck was lost and couldn't take their planned route because a railroad overpass was too low for them to pass under. Aren't they supposed to be professionals and know how to get from point A to point B?

The place they were stuck was no more than 15 minutes away from the place that I was moving. A total of 4 hours after they departed Astoria, they arrived at my new home. Again, this is a 45 minute drive by car, and I figured the most it could take would be 2 hours. I drove the same highways that they did and there was no traffic.

Once they finally arrived, they began backing the truck into my neighbor's driveway, not the driveway that belongs to my house and provides access to the garage that is attached to the house itself. When they finally began unpacking, you can imagine my surprise when the first thing they unloaded were 5 strollers. I am a single man with no children. The movers had packed up my 1 bedroom apartment and I have no possessions that would even remotely suggest that I had one child, let alone 5. As it turns out, they had packed up my old neighbors' strollers and moved them to my house.

The movers didn't apologize or offer to return them to my original apartment building, I had to take care of this myself. For all this trouble, they gave me a half hour's credit on my bill.

While unpacking my possessions, I realized a blanket was missing. I contacted their office and their apparantly one competent employee, Latoya, did a great job locating the blanket. When I asked her to mail it to me, she said that they shouldn't have to pay for the shipping! I had to go back to their office and pick up my own property that they had failed to unpack.

Do not be fooled by their relatively low rates. Hiring them was a giant mistake. You get what you pay for. I highly suggest you look elsewhere.

Move in NY

Pros:

The movers were good and knew what they needed to do to pack the furnitures and carry, load and unload. They are courteous and helpful and the move was smooth. I have used them before and they continue to give good service. Nothing broke during the move and they were careful enough not to get any ticketes. Overall all a good, smooth and stress free move.

Cons:

The rate given was good, however make sure you confirm what extra studd they will be using to pack your stuff. Other than the blankets and tape, everything is extra but the movers itself wont mention it explicitely. Also the movers mention what tip they want, I believe in giving a good tip if they do a good job but asking it upfront even before you started the job is not cool with me.

WOULD RECOMMEND THEM AND USE THEM AGAIN.
