"Worst Moving Experience Ever – A Complete Scam business Beware of the dirty tricks used by this moving company: 1. Deliberate Delays to Increase Charges – The movers idled and wasted time, dragging out the job to charge more by the hour. 2. Extortion for Additional Payments – They held our furniture hostage, threatening to cancel the job on moving day and demanding extra payments before downloading furnitures 3. Absurd Excuses – traffic cause delays, claimed we had "too many" boxes not listed in the inventory (such a joke, all quoted companies said boxes do not matter), and using the elevator for moving causing delay(WT*?); Furniture wrapping—something other moving companies all do—cost time. All the excuses they can imagine to waste more time. 4. Abusive Customer Service – When we called the office to report the delays, they yelled at us, interrupted, do not let us speak, and even hung up. Later, we were harassed with repeated calls. 5. Poor Furniture Assembly – They left our bed frame and office desk wobbly and unstable. See the pictures below for proof. We have used four different moving companies before and obtained quotes from four others for this move. Every other mover completed our moving in six hours for a local move. All the quotes we received estimated the job would take six hours. However, this company wasted four hours just loading the truck while demanding full payment above the agreed price. They deliberately m overcharged us. This was essentially a gangster-style, robbery-like moving experience. The movers arrived significantly late, frequently disappeared during the job. When we called the office to report their laziness and inefficiency, they threatened to cancel the job and unload all our furniture after 3.5 hours—when 90% of it was already loaded onto the truck! Then they hung up on us. Later, we were bombarded with harassing calls. On-site, the staff also threatened to cancel the job in front of our neighbors. Fortunately, the entire building know their behavior and will never book them in the future. This was an absolute nightmare. Imagine having your moving job canceled on moving day, especially when you’re busy and stressed, your lease has ended, your cleaning is scheduled, and your leasing office is closely monitoring your move-out. After being hung up on and begging them not to cancel, they demanded extra payments not included in the contract, holding our belongings hostage at the destination. To make things worse, the furniture they assembled was so wobbly we had to hire a handyman to fix it. We know what hard-working and efficient movers look like—we’ve hired them before! We have never been threatened with job cancellation, forced to pay extra before completion, or left with unstable furnitures! The person named Joey was the ringleader of this scam—yelling, interrupting, threatening, and pretending to be hard-working before we signed the contract. Such experience deserved to be reported to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and filed a detailed scam complaint. This company doesn’t make friends in business; they make enemies on purpose. Moving of America delivered the worst quality of service and customer experience for sure! We sincerely hope no family ever experiences what we went through by Moving of America"

Our core set of values: honesty, integrity, and reliability. No tricks. No gimmicks. No shortcuts. An agent for United Van Lines, the #1 mover in the world, mover for 420 of the top Fortune 500 companies. We perform 47% of long-distance, local moves, and international moves industry-wide every year.

(800) 640-4487 ext 1 or sales@libertymoving.com
"PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!! I hired them for a personal move from NYC to Putnam County and they will sell you the stars and moons and claim to be the best in the business. Steve Eschebauer booked the move for us and Mary Purcell coordinate the local move. Once the movers arrived, it was clear to us that it would be enough man power to handle the move. The movers SEVERELY DAMAGED OUR BED BEYOND REPAIR. I submitted a claim to get some kind of compensation and because I didn't purchase extra insurance, the company will only refund you $.60 per lb. My bed is a $3,000+ bed and they offered to refund me $180 which was ridiculous. They want you to purchase extra insurance which costs almost the same amount of the actual move. Although Mary offered to help with this problem, the ultimate solution was to send a repair company to "fix" the bed by putting some nails through it. But truth be told, the bed is no longer the same and we are out both a bed and descent amount refund to be able to purchase another one. And to add salt to the wound, they emailed us to say that the bed was reapaired to our satisfaction when in reality the bed is broken beyond repair!!! This company is IRRESPONSIBLE and doesn't care whether your goods are damaged or not after they get paid! THEY ARE HORRIBLE AND I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY EVEN TO MY WORST ENEMY! SAVE YOURSELF A HEADACHE AND GO ELSEWHERE FOR YOUR MOVE!!"

New York City Moving at Brooklyn Prices. We offer guaranteed price moving quotes and free wardrobe boxes with your local move. Business opened in 2006 in our office in Dumbo, Brooklyn.
"Their price was the best and I was skeptical after reading other reviews where people said they increased the price upon arrival. I inquired about this and my sales rep said this is usually for additional items not included in the quote, which makes sense. As I was packing I called Aaron to add things so there were no surprises at the cost of my move. The guys showed up on time and drove my furniture to my elderly parents' house in Delaware, where they kindly set up the bed at no extra charge. Aaron was wonderful and responsive the whole time. Will definitely be using them again and highly recommend."

Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including:
Is there anything your company won’t move?
Does workers’ compensation cover the crew?
Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture?
Are there packing restrictions?
Can you guarantee my delivery date?
Can you provide references?
What do you charge extra for?
What is your cancellation policy?
Moving insurance helps protect your belongings from damage or loss during the moving process. This policy can help reimburse you either part of or the total amount of your belongings that become damaged during the moving process. Moving insurance has three main options: full value protection, released value protection, and third-party or separate liability coverage. Speak with your moving company to determine what is covered under each policy and their cost to determine the best fit for your needs.
The average cost to hire movers is between $920 and $2,530 for local moves and $2,700 to $10,000 for long-distance moves. The number of movers you need, the total mileage you’re moving, your moving date, and ease of access to your home all factor into the bottom line.
For example, if you only need one or two movers, you can expect to pay $25 to $50 an hour. However, if you need four or more movers, that charge increases to $100 to $200 an hour. Moving specialty items, like a piano or large aquarium, will incur additional charges.
In the world of professional moving, moves are broken up into two categories—a local move and a long-distance move. A local move is anything considered under 100 miles, regardless if you’re crossing over state lines. A long-distance move is anything over 100 miles, even if you stay in the same state or location.
If you’re hiring movers to help with your move, there are a few things that you can do ahead of time to set yourself (and the moving company) up for success.
Donate or sell items ahead of time to lessen the amount to move
Alert your neighbors (or apartment management) of the move so they can plan for the moving truck to arrive
Pack your belongings securely ahead of your moving date
Disconnect any appliances prior to the moving date
Clear a path for the movers to move freely inside your home
Dispose of hazardous materials
Discuss with your moving coordinator where to unload the boxes
