NYC Mover Reviews
On time, very friendly and very professional. I would hire them again any time.
They were amazing - very helpful and had excellent service!
TopShelf's guys were great. I had an unusual situation: I needed my observatory dome (350+ lbs) put atop the observatory's base (5' high). The guys were pleasant, professional, hardworking, and easy to talk to. I definitely recommend them and would use them again.
Erik & Courtney we’re great! I’m Thankful for their help.
Thorough and efficient crew. Showed up on time and maximized the space in the pod.
The guys were incredibly helpful and careful with our stuff! We were in a unique situation where our previous movers ran out of time and had to leave after unloading all of our stuff at the new apartment. Thankfully, Never Tired Movers was available for the same day. Given our weird situation, I had to call them a few times to change the number of movers and such. They were very understanding about the whole situation. The whole thing went very smoothly and everyone was very kind! I would highly recommend them.
They were very professional and respectful. Also they worked hard to load everything carefully and neatly. I would definitely recommend them.

Anthony and Danard were fabulous!

My move schedule was 3-4pm, and they arrived at 315pm and worked for exactly 2 hours. They were prepared for the job and worked diligently for that timeframe. They were very respectful and took great care of my property. I would recommend "I like to Move It" to anyone for their moving needs.
Both very personable and very helpful. They worked fast and efficiently
Both fellows worked very hard. They were polite and considerate of my needs. They setup my master bedroom bed. Very careful about not damaging or bumping furniture. Highly recommended and would use again. Excellent 10 ??????????

I hired 3 movers for 2 hours to help load a moving truck; all 3 were there 25 minutes early! My bldg interior had just been renovated, and the hallways and stairwell are EXTREMELY narrow so i was super nervous about marking and gouging the new walls/trim. All 3 movers were excellent. Absolutely no damage done to the walls! Entire job was done in 50 minutes. I would highly recommend this company for your moving needs.
Good service . Michelle organised well and 3 guys arrived to unload and arrange stuff in new home in south Brunswick . They followed instructions and did job quick & nice . Great service ????
They arrived early with all the necessary supplies needed for a move. They took the time to wrap and protect my furniture and loaded their truck quickly and efficiently. I would use them again.
Great guys. Strong. Fun. Respectful. They know how to make everything fit in my POD with room to spare!
Keyon and Wayne were on time, well prepared for the job, worked very hard and were respectful of property and goods. Wayne totally impressed me with his driving skills to fit the truck through a narrow space into a small parking lot behind the building on Post Ave., in Westbury! And he accomplished that without a scratch to walls or the truck. Wow! They were amazing and should be commended for a perfect job. I would definitely use them again and recommend them.
The crew from SimpleMoves called to say they would be 30 minutes later than the scheduled time. The crew was very thorough in emptying the POD that held most of the 'stuff' from our basement. They were most considerate of property and possessions. The crew worked fast and hard. I had no issues with their efforts.
Great help! Professional and fairly priced
Great!!!
This company will exceed your expectations! Great communication, amazing customer service, you won't regret choosing them for your moving needs! Would highly recommend and of course i will use them again!
Our help had car trouble and arrived 2 1/2 hours after the scheduled time but we were fine with it. The did a great job and I would recommend them.

The Boroughs in New York City
What's it like to live in New York? Ask a New Yorker to pick one thing they love about the city and you’ll get a hundred answers. How easy it is to get around using the subways, on foot, or on a bike. The 13,000 bodegas (with their resident cats) where you can buy everything from milk to lottery tickets, food from around the world for every budget, tons of pro sports, recreational spaces to play in, world-famous museums to explore, intimate jazz nights to enjoy, or how about a show on Broadway? You’re spoiled for choice in the Big Apple! Our movers know the best routes to beat the traffic and get you to your new home safe and sound.
Manhattan
There are over 1,700 parks and playgrounds in New York City, and the most famous is in Manhattan: Central Park borders the Upper West Side, a neighborhood characterized by its beautiful brownstones. And there's High Line, an elevated linear park built on a historic freight rail line that runs through the artistic neighborhood of Chelsea.
And while West Village has strong community ties and a relaxed pace of life, Greenwich Village is also home to historic sites and iconic music venues. No matter where you are, Manhattan is highly walkable and well-connected through the city’s famous subways, but driving is a symphony of one-way streets, low bridges, and tight corners, so professional movers are a must!
Brooklyn
Brooklyn is the heartbeat of New York City, with the comfort of community and a generous helping of character.
Family-friendly Park Slope is packed with playgrounds and top-rated schools, and the streets of Bushwick are a canvas of large-scale murals. And with its leafy streets and views of the Manhattan skyline, Brooklyn Heights has an old-world feel worthy of the city’s first historic district. (Brooklyn is also home to Coney Island, the world famous amusement park with iconic boardwalk!)
Don’t forget to get your temporary parking permits for moving day; professional movers know the secrets to securing the best parking spots.
Queens
Queens is where the world meets!
The historic streets of Astoria are brimming with Greek bakeries, cafés, and one of the oldest beer gardens in New York — the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden that serves traditional Czech and Slovak beer and food.
Meanwhile, Flushing is a hub of Asian culture, renowned for its authentic Chinese and Korean eateries and markets. Bayside is known for its quiet residential streets and excellent schools. (You can also spend your weekends boating at Bayside Marina!)
Whether you’re moving into a walkup or a home with a yard, professional movers know exactly how to help you get settled in.
The Bronx
Hailed as the birthplace of hip hop and graffiti, The Bronx is New York City’s northernmost borough and home to the New York Yankees. But Yankee Stadium isn’t the only feather in The Bronx’s sporting cap: strap on your helmet and join thousands of cyclists at Tour de Bronx for a 10-, 25- or 40-mile ride through the borough. And Arthur Avenue, also known as Little Italy, for authentic Italian restaurants, stores, and bakeries.
The Bronx is a bustling borough with an extensive public transportation system, with trains, subway stops, and buses making it easy to get around the city. But the roads are another story, so let experienced professional movers get you through The Grand Concourse while you enjoy its Art Deco architecture.
Staten Island
New York City’s biggest borough is Staten Island, which has a more suburban feel with larger homes, quieter neighborhoods, and plenty of ways to spend time in nature. North Mt. Loretto State Forest offers walking and biking trails, and at Lemon Creek you can take to the water to fish, paddle, and kayak.
And although Staten Island isn’t connected to the New York City subway system, the free Staten Island Ferry connects the borough to Manhattan, with iconic views of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline.
Several major bridges connect Staten Island to other parts of New York and New Jersey, and professional movers will know the best route to take to reduce tolls and travel time.

They arrived early with all the necessary supplies needed for a move. They took the time to wrap and protect my furniture and loaded their truck quickly and efficiently. I would use them again.
The men did a great job but I was never told in advance that I had to take the TVs down. I didn’t, I couldn’t and they wouldn’t. It was a problem. Moving staffers please be clear with ur customers about this.
I honestly cannot say enough good things about the two workers that came to my home. They were polite, professional, and extremely hard-working and efficient. They tore through everything really quickly took great care of all of my items and were really gentlemen. I highly highly recommend this company to anyone thinking about hiring movers.

These guys are great, were super carefull throughout the whole process, were able to get everything in the truck while making sure the fragile boxes were protected!
Courtney and Eric were a tremendous help and were very efficient and careful with our things. They arrived early and worked very hard to get everything moved in a third of the time we booked. I highly recommend using promove for your moving needs!
Sharp Van Lines were respectful and efficient, finishing the move well within the original estimate. They brought packing materials, but since I had some already they used those as I requested. They knew what they were doing, and they did it well.
They arrived on time (even a bit early!), took incredible care of my stuff, and unpacked my POD efficiently and quickly. They were extra careful with my fragile items and made the move a lot easier. They were also very friendly and personable, and I would absolutely recommend them and use them again for a move.
