They showed up almost 2 hours late for the job. The foreman was nice enough but the other two gentlemen seemed disgruntled from the start. They did a fair job packing and moving the boxes and furniture to Long Island. Once they arrived at the new house they routinely put clearly labeled boxes in the wrong rooms and floors. Not sure if it was laziness or fatigue, either way it was unprofessional. I would never recommend this company, find another??.

See WHAT DID THE PROVIDER DO? All the details are there.
Description of Work: Moved from 3rd floor apt. (no kitchen to move) to walk in house in New Jersey. Approx. 65 boxes , bedroom and living room. Had to make additional stop about 15 blocks away to get additional bedroom set. Arrived about 1 hour after scheduled time. Movers worked very hard and were professional. SALESMAN WAS NOT WORTH THE ESTIMATE! He came to apt. made notes and I gave him an itemized list of what to move. He did not put several of the items on the contract. So I guess that helps increase price at end of move. Also emailed items that I no longer wish to move but he did no take off the list. If you decide to use this company, just be aware that having the estimator(salesman) over to look is a scam! I guess someone has to pay his salary. Also when I tried to call company to find out where are the movers(late) no one answered the phone! It took about 9 and half hours for this move. JOSE, SEAN AND MICHAEL WERE EXCELLENT. VERY POLITE AND FRIENDLY. The movers made up for the phony salesman(estimator).

Response from Men On The Move
Dear [member name removed], We are sorry your were not as happy with the service as we both would have liked. We were supposed to be there by 9 am the latest and were signed in by you at 9:30. I would like to personally apologize for this. Your ESTIMATE was $1585.00 before the round trip tolls charge and the final charges with tolls was $1679.00. Though perhaps the salesmen could have been more detailed on the written quote, he nailed the economics of the estimate. Please feel free to contact me directly to discuss further if necessary and thank you for the overall B rating. John B. Beyer, President 212-480-0900

The carefully wrapped all furniture including fragile items like mirrors and antique tables. The crew worked quickly and efficiently and the result was that the move took less hours than the initial estimate. I would use this company again.

By far the best experience I have ever had moving. I called for an estimate and gave the details of my move. When the estimate was for 5 1/2 hours I thought no way, but that is exactly how long the move took! 3eMy crew arrived 1/2 hour early! By the time I was finished signing the paperwork I think 75% of my boxes were already loaded in the truck. The crew worked tirelessly with a great attitude. They took apart and reassembled my couch crib and dining table. For 75 which I arranged for when I called for an estimate they hauled away our old desk platform bed and mattress. All of my boxes were labeled with what room they were going to and they all ended up in the right room. Everyone was super professional and nothing was damaged. I would recommend these guys to everyone!

We used Men on the Move to move my daughter and her finance from our house to their new house. It was easy to set up the appointment quickly, and when I called to change the day on short notice due to a bad snow forecast on the original date, they were perfectly accommodating. The 3-man crew arrived right on time. They were very professional and easy to work with. We went over our needs and they worked quickly and efficiently. They moved everything to the locations we requested at the new house, some of which were not easy to do! They finished the job in exactly the time estimated. They were careful to not damage any of the moved goods and were very careful to not damage walls or floors at either of the houses. I would absolutely use them as my first choice if I had to do another move!

The location is very good for the 5 boroughs and the staff is really nice. These young men moved everything very well. They were respectable and honest. I really enjoyed working with them. They even do private moves! Just make sure you have your own equipment and that they bring an empty truck with no blankets or supplies.

Men on the move was on time and anticipated the situation due to the weather and brought an extra person. Despite snow, ice and stairs the guys worked really hard and got the job done under estimate and in less time. Nothing was broken. I will use them again.

Overall, they did a very good job, probably a B+, but that is not an option here, so we gave them an A. Only 2 items were broken in the move, both in boxes we packed. The movers were punctual and professional. The 2 things that MOTM could have done better were: 1. being more responsive regarding the Certificate of Insurance required by our buildings at both ends of the move. It took multiple calls and emails to their office in order to get the paperwork in, adding unnecessary stress to the move for us. While the COI may be a low priority for movers, it is the first priority for condos and apartment buildings - they will not even put the move on the calendar until the COI has been received and approved. MOTM needs to be more aware of this if they are going to move people from NYC buildings. 2. protecting my bicycle. They told me it didn't need to be wrapped or boxed, that they had moved plenty of bikes. When it arrived the brakes had been bent and were not where they should have been. The bike will require about $75 in repairs. So we would say they are good movers, except for bicycles, and that their office staff need to improve as planners and administrators.
Description of Work: MOTM moved us from a 1 BR apt. in NYC to a 2 BR condo in Florida.

Men on the Move were excellent all around. Scheduling was very easy and you couldn't beat the price (I really tried!). The movers were punctual, friendly, and professional. Nothing was damaged at all, not even a scratch or a ding. They were very professional and were able to maneuver a heavy treadmill down a narrow basement staircase with a low ceiling and a 90 degree turn in one shot. And that was only the second most impressive feat. The first was when one of the movers single handedly lifted and carried a 5 drawer dresser on one shoulder down a flight of stairs and out into their truck.
Description of Work: I had a number of heavy/bulky items moved from Lloyd Neck to Bayside (dresser, treadmill, dining room set, sideboard, bed frame, etc).

I called and they sent someone over to look at the house and everything we needed to move. The lady gave me a price that was just an estimate of $2600. she said one truck and five men would move us to our rental house. i asked if she could do better on the price and she said she would speak to her manager and let me know. I received a call the next day to confirm my move date, I said that i had not heard back on a final price yet. I received a call from the owner saying that they would give me ten wardrobe boxes at no charge. this was an $80.00 value. not much savings but i agreed. So on the day of the move the five guys showed up and it took them two trips in the truck and 12 hours to move most of our belongings. we had so many things they did not take we had to make an additional 10 trips in our SUV which took us an additional day. i just couldn't ask the five guys to move any more things after 12 hours. i wish they would have known to send more men or an additional truck. It was a very long and stressful day that didn't need to be if they sent an additional truck with more men. i will need to move again in six months, i will not be calling this company.

Response from Men On The Move
[removed member name], Thank you for your comments. We had spoken directly when you needed to re-schedule and were unhappy with the $80 discount we had offered. Men on the Move is NOT a discount mover as discussed. Again we are sorry you were unhappy about this. You were given an ESTIMATE of $2641.00 based on time and material and how ready you would be. You moved on January 4th. This is the day after the North Shore of Long Island received almost 10 inches of snow and we were hammered by the looming polar vortex keep the temperatures in the teens most of the day.Yes the job took 1.5 hours longer. We packed more than asked to on the estimate as well. We are proud of the service performed. We are sorry we could not make you happy and want to wish you all the best in your new home. Thank you, John B. Beyer president 516-773-move for any further conversation

Their consultant came in to see my apartment and give me an estimate on how much it would cost to move from Flushing to Syosset. It's a small 3 bedroom apartment, approx 900 square feet. Unfortunately because I also have 3 kids under the age of 10 we had a LOT of stuff. I'm guessing this is why her estimate came to about $2300! Needless to say I was floored. We were able to find someone to move all our stuff for $800. Seemed like nice people but the price was just way too much.

We hired Men on the Move to assist us with moving all of our house hold goods into our new house from a 26 foot box truck and a 20 foot storage container. Both of these were packed about as tightly as could be done. The men that moved us into the house commented on how much had been placed into the container and truck, they truly earned their money. We hired five men to move everything. It took them approximately four hours and were worth every penny of it. I should know since I packed both the storage unit and the truck myself and it took a lot longer than twenty hours (five guys, four hours = 20 hours). We would definitely use them again.
