Men On The Move

A bed was damaged. Assembly of Pompanusic Mills bed was problematic The moving crew recovered scattered ball bearings and bent tracks (bed has drawers) and fixed the bed to ok condition. Cost was slightly above phone estimate, due in part to surcharges disclosed when movers arrived; e.g. gas surcharge, charge for certificate of insurance naming CO-OP as insured. Insurance on moved items, above .30 cents per pound, available at extra cost. Movers arrived exactly on time, were courteous and industrious. All items arrived. Men on the move provided all documents required by the receiving CO-OP. After the move received a quality assurance follow-up call.

I moved from a midtown studio apartment to a one bedroom uptown while also clearing out a storage unit. Marcus and his crew from Men on the Move showed up on time and immediately got to moving my belongings. All three of them were friendly, courteous, and hard working (they wouldn't allow me to assist, I felt useless). Prior to the move the staff of Men on the Move provided an estimate, followed up to verify information I provided for the estimate (to provide a more accurate quote), and followed up both by phone and email as the move date approached to make sure I had everything I needed. The move went quickly and flawlessly and took several hours less than estimated (which saved me a few hundred dollars). I would definitely use Men on the Move again and would recommend them highly to anyone needing a mover.

The moving team was very prompt, arriving on time and packed and wrapped out furniture carefully. They were quick and efficient and very neat. And a pleasure to work with. I would recommend them.

I am listing all the difficulties we experienced using Men on the Move movers(Floral Park, NY) for our move from Manhasset, New York to Williamsburg, Virginia last August. I would hope that Daniel Gale would remove them from the list of recommended movers after viewing our list of problems. This was by far the worst move we have ever experienced and the company simply gave us a run around when they received complaints. They first lied to us about a ?dedicated move? and collected $2,000 extra for a service they had no intention of providing. That was only the start of our many problems with this mover. The list and explanations follow: 1. We were charged $2,000 extra on top of a fee of $8,908. This was a ?dedicated move charge? and was explained as a direct move to our new home in a van containing only our belongings. When the van arrived our belongings were in the back behind another pickup of furniture going to Richmond. 2. Two delivery men came with the truck and were excellent, hardworking movers. However, they hired 2 more men from a local employment agency. One of these men was asthmatic and struggled so that we paid him to go home before he had a severe attack in our presence. Neither man had been told that they would be moving furniture all day for $50.00! 3. Our 9x12 oriental living room rug had a very strong, offensive odor when delivered. This was sent to Hadeed Rugs in Richmond for cleaning and deodorizing before we could lay it. Cost: cleaning & deodorizing $ 270 4. Antique oak server had top carving broken off and was scratched and dented. Walnut armoire was also scratched and screws necessary to put the furniture together were lost so 13 piece armoire remained in pieces until we could hire antique restorer. Cost: $ 1,550 5. Relatively new living room and dining room mahogany furniture is covered with fine scratches. We are told that this is from rubbing of rough blankets during the move. Also dining room table legs are gouged. Estimates for repair have not yet been obtained. 6. Finally, the original movers in Manhasset had no system for packing. Items from various rooms were stuffed in very large heavy boxes. Unpacking was a continual surprise as the boxes were labeled one room but had items from several rooms unrelated to labeling. As you can see this move has not been an easy experience. My husband and I thought we were paying for the services of an experienced and reputable moving company due to Daniel Gale?s recommendation and the good rating on Angie?s list. This was far from the case. A reputable company would not falsely claim to deliver services it does not provide to get an extra $2,000( $1,000 has been returned after many conversations with John Beyer & Ran Moshe). Nor would they now offer $250 to pay for damages easily totaling over $2000. We have never been sent claim forms in all this time despite the fact that the company was informed that we had damages. I certainly hope that Daniel Gale will remove Men on the Move(Floral Park, NY) from their list of recommended movers and spare future homeowners a very distasteful experience. Copies of our contract & bills for repair & cleaning will be mailed to you.

The movers were outstanding. They did an excellent job.

I was impressed by how quickly they did what they had to do and how careful they were with the material. The only thing I could ask them to improve was the method by which they navigated. They actually followed me from there to here and I thought it would have been much better if they could've gotten here independently.

It went great. The crew was fast and personable.

The move went from our business upstate, then to our home a few miles away. The guys were short a man that day, so those two guys (Sonny and Frank) had their work cut out for them. They arrived promptly in the morning, took one lunch break, and didn't pull away until almost 5 pm. The next day, they pulled up bright and early to our new home and patiently unloaded everything. We discovered that one of our sofas, which had been stored, wrapped, in a basement, was utterly wrecked. They guys took it out to the garage with nary a complaint and moved another sofa BACK into the living room for us. They were VERY tolerant and patient. On the next move, we just had a sofa, a very heavy table and a few other pieces to move from our sister's cottage to our house. The table was incredibly heavy glass and these guys (Stanley and Lamont) took very good care of it. This is the kind of thing when their communication and teamwork really makes a difference. Again, once we got one piece of furniture placed, it didn't work and so here they had to move it AGAIN. No complaints at all.

The 4 men (as promised) came on time the morning of 12/31/12 to pack us up for our move. They were polite and hard-working. They returned the next day for the actual move, loading the truck and unloading at our destination. The men were patient with us as we decided where to put items. They put up the TV table as well as the beds. They helped us unload the wardrobe boxes so we would be charged only for rental not for purchase. Moving was made so much easier with the kindness and good humor of the four movers, led by Hugh. Very friendly and courteous group.

It went great. We appreciate their professionalism, patience, cheerfulness and over-all great work. They showed up a few minutes before scheduled. They took apart two beds, several sets of shelves and two big desks. They carried everything into the moving van, keeping careful notes. They showed me all the paperwork and explained and had me sign. They delivered the things to our new home a day earlier than expected, which delighted us. They called the day before to make sure it was convenient for us. They carried everything into our new apartment. They asked me where everything should go, and then they put it there. They put the furniture back together. They were once again hard-working, professional, courteous and very helpful. I have discovered for myself why they were so highly recommended. This form only lets me put one place where the work was performed, so I'll say it here: the work was performed in two places. Merrick, New York and Gaithersburg, Maryland.

From the beginning this company was on point. Even when i was just inquiring about their services they handled me like I was already their client. Due to some unforeseen situations, I did not move when I planned. But, Men on the Move called every few weeks to check in. My move was further delayed because of Hurricane Sandy. After the storm, Men on the Move called, just to make sure I was ok. They didn't ask if I was still moving. They just called to make sure I was ok and offered help if I needed it. I thought that was very nice and I knew I would use them when the time came. A little while later, it was time. There were two guys, who came on time, who moved all the things. They moved quickly and quietly from my apartment to the van outside. They seemed focused and were very professional. They did not waste anytime. Before I knew it, they were packed and ready to go to the next location. They took very good care of all my things. I watched as the wrapped everything. And moved swiftly and carefully about. Even unloading was quick and easy. They asked where things were to go and made sure the place was not a mess. When they were finished, we took just a few minutes to check the truck, sign the papers, and pay. It took a lot of stress out of the stressful time of moving. I am very glad I decided to go with Men on the Move.

Guys were really nice, courteous, and professional. They claimed at the end that I owed an additional $125 (based on $12.5 per hour) for a fuel surcharge. That was not mentioned in my estimate. I was shown by the leader of the moving crew that I signed at the beginning of the move a paper that says somewhere on it that i owe this fee. I asked why he did not review this charge with me in the beginning of the move in the way other charges were reviewed with me. I asked what this charge was not included in the estimate. He called his boss, and they dropped that charge.

.The movers arrived on time. They were very careful with packed boxes and then wrapped the bigger items. They were very quick and efficient. After all items from the house were on the truck, they had to go to the storage facility where my son's big items were being kept. Again, the queen size mattress, headboard and other furniture were all wrapped and I was surprised how quickly they accomplished emptying the unit. We discussed how long it might take to get into Manhattan, the address and all the new construction taking place on the Upper East Side. Thankfully, traffic was okay, but trying to find a spot to unload the truck was near impossible. The driver kept circling around the block for over twenty minutes. Finally we were able to park further down the street and they began unloading. The apartment building lobby was below ground level and they had to go down around seven steps. The best was that there was ONE, little elevator for the whole building. (at least it wasn't a walk-up). Putting furniture into the small elevator and then into a small studio apt. was some undertaking. It was a rather hot day, but they did not stop to rest. I offered some goodies, but they only took bottles of water. The job was so strenuos to begin with I don't know how they kept going in the heat. They finished at least an hour ahead of the estimate and I gave them each a really good tip. I told them I was going to ask for them in four years when my son is finished with his residency and ready to move again. The whole job was worth every penny! I really can't say I would or could have done anything differently. P.S. My younger son used the same moving company when he moved into a new house on L.I. Again, good price and a great job.

Not grreat - although the moving guys themselves were pleasant enough.

The office was very responsive to scheduling and since my closing dates kept shifting I was most impressed with their flexibility and understanding. On the day of the move, I was offered a 6th crew member (this was not discussed with me before). The explanation was that the 6th person would make the job go faster and I could save money if they were finished sooner. I went with that option although I would have been happier if I had known about this in the planning phase. Nevertheless, the move was very fast and they loaded and unloaded my belongings by early afternoon. However, at the end of the experience they were standing around me while I was expected to fill out their own internal review form & they kept asking me to make sure I said everything was excellent. I didn't really appreciate that. I also noticed after they left that they tore my mattress. Aside from that though everything went pretty well. They worked like worker bees & were done by 2pm.

Every aspect was very positive. My only criticism would be that before each move, I had to sign and initial about a dozen sheets, and I really did not have time to read them. This made me a bit uncomfortable, but I probably could have slowed this process if I had insisted.

The employees were extremely professional , trustworthy and very pleasant to deal with. They took very good care of the items they were moving and did so efficiently and very quickly. They were a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is moving, whether that's a business or a home.

They were amazingly careful with all of my possessions. Without taking an inordinate amount of time, they really wrapped with care, and what had been stressful anticipation because of prior nightmare moves just evaporated into a very productive and stressfree day. I can't praise them enough. Dominic, mike and stanley.....terrific gentlemen!!

The woman who answered the phone was the RUDEST person I have EVER had answer the phone. She was yelling when she answered and so I didn't respond immediately and then she very aggressively said "hello" I said hi and she said hold on and put me on hold. As soon as she got on the line she asked what she could do to help me and I said I was maybe interested in a quote- she IMMEDIATELY snapped at me and used a tone that was very very offensive and rude and said "maybe a quote or a quote?" I was so shocked i couldn't even say anything. she then proceeded to use the same condescending and rude tone and I said "I'm sorry, you know what- never mind" and she just hung up! Horrid. Really appalling.

The price was fair and they actually came in under at the end of the day. They were meticulous, clean, organized, orderly, and one of the best moving experiences I have had. They were one of the only companies that would take a small job like mine. They were perfectly on time and I actually followed their truck and they literally stopped for 10 minutes to grab lunch and then ate on the way. They only billed me for the transit time, not their lunch time. They made sure everything was satisfactory and that I went through everything to make sure it was there before they would leave.

They were fantastic. They were very professionl and very caring on how to handle our beautiful furniture. I felt as though I could leave them at home without supervising them. I knew that my furniture was in good hands. Everything was timely and the supervisor that was there made everything move according to schedule. It was orchastrated extremely well. I would use them again and I will always recommend them. I never shop for price but quality.

It was a very good experience overall. I will be using them in the future.

I contacted the company and spoke to Tom about moving my niece from her one bedroom in Manhattan to an apartment in the Bronx. He was very accommodating and professional with me as well as with my niece when they made the arrangements. Amazingly, they agreed to do the move with only three days notice. The movers came on time. They were professional, very pleasant and they went above and beyond what the job originally called for. Everything arrived undamaged, and there was no damage done to either building. They accepted the Angie's List coupon cheerfully. The cost was very close to the estimate. Great, great movers!!

It went extremely well. The movers were very helpful to my daughter and courteous. It took them a bit longer than expected to reach my home because of city traffic so it cost me a bit more. They were, once again, professional, helpful and pleasant towork with at my home. The furniture was well-protected and handled with care. The bed was put together perfectly, televisonsmoved around, a piece of furniture moved to my garage. I would definitely use them again.

They arrived on time, wrapped the furniture in protective blankets, and loaded onto their truck in very good time (less than an hour). The unloading and moving in was even faster. Excellent job.
