Q's Moving Corp Profile Image

They were on time and prepared. Some of my stuff got pretty banged up, but the really expensive stuff made the trip undamaged for the most part. I have a small wood table that was placed sideways on the street and sidewalk, badly damaging the finish. I worked with them, so we were done really fast. I think there is a bit of misunderstanding between hire-a-helper and the moving companies. The hours and people allotted for my move were based on my move being from one apartment to another apartment, so not a lot of stuff. But someone at Q's Moving called and said I had too much stuff and too many stairs so the move would probably last 6 hours and need 3 men. I think they need to sort out that aspect a bit better because my budget was based on the 2+ hours estimated by Hire-a-Helper. Being told it could be as many as 6 hours was discouraging and frustrating.

Major Neighborhoods in Queens

Across the East River from Manhattan lies Queens, the largest borough in New York. It's popular with professionals and families alike, partly because it's home to many of the city's biggest attractions, like Citi Field where the Mets play. Or the famous Flushing Meadows Corona Park, which hosts the annual U.S. Open tennis tournament. But the neighborhood isn't just sightseeing — Queens is named one of the most diverse areas in the world. It has dozens of different neighborhoods and cultures (and all the food and art that come with it!). If you’re planning to join one of these communities, or are here to attend St. John’s University, check out our list of movers in Queens to find a professional familiar with this busy part of the Big Apple.

Astoria

Astoria is a community-centric neighborhood where you're absolutely spoiled for choice when it comes to dining. There are a ton of great Greek, Italian, and Mexican restaurants, along with a part of Steinway Street called Little Egypt that features cultural shops and eateries. If you're a fan of craft beer, then the family-run Bier & Cheese Collective will quickly become a favorite. Astoria Park features the oldest and largest city pool in the Big Apple for those muggy New York summers. But the best part of the neighborhood might be how you don't need the subway to head over to Manhattan. Just take the N.Y.C. Ferry for a nice ride across the East River!

The absolute best. Professional, reliable and skilled. Nayquon and Keith were amazing, working nonstop and filling the POD like pro level Tetris players. In addition to their excellent moving skills, they were in regular communication to let me know when they would arrive beforehand and talking through any questions during the loading. I recommend them highly.

Our movers were the best! I was quite stressed the day of the move and they told me to relax while they handled it. They did a wonderful job of fitting all of our stuff in the truck during the time window I hired them for and everything arrived safely after a (bumpy) 1300 mile drive!

Two awesome gentlemen helped pack the moving truck which was to small for all my belongings. Daniel and I can't remember the other gentleman's name both very respectful. Daniel said we can get most of your belongings in this truck I didn't really believe him, but they packed that truck with just about everything! I was amazed and super happy!!! Great job guys!!!
