It went easy and smooth.

the move went very smooth

Men on the Move in Floral Park was terrific on every aspect of this move: the in home estimator, Dimitry, was professional, helpful, and honest. He was available to answer questions at every step of the process. The team of movers: Mike, Roberto, and Robert, were extremely friendly, professional, punctual, hardworking, and went out of their way to be helpful. It took about 7 hours to pack up my parents' NY apartment and they were very careful with fragile items, protected every piece of furniture, and gave much needed advice about the best ways to transport things. The following day, Mike and Roberto left NYC at 5 AM to arrive in Massachusetts at 10 AM, and unloaded the truck at two different stops, finishing their day in Massachusetts at 5 pm, at which point they had to make the 5 hour return drive. Although they must have been exhausted, it never affected the quality of their work -- they placed each piece of furniture where we wanted it to go, were willing to move carpets & furniture around when the first spot didn't work. Their advice and help were invaluable, and they truly cared about doing a job. I am so glad that I selected Men on the Move -- even though some estimates came in a bit cheaper, my experience with Men on the Move could not have been better. They also stuck to the original estimate and did not raise the price. I highly recommend them. Great job!!!

My first sign that there was something funny going on should have been when the movers arrived and the price was different than I was told over the phone. It was only a few dollars an hour over what I was quoted on the phone, so I didn?t worry about it, but in retrospect, I should have canceled them right then. I had to move a few pieces of furniture from an apartment to a house about 25 miles away (about a half hour drive). It wasn?t a lot and it should have easily taken less than 3 hours, which I was told was their minimum. Two movers came to do my move, but only one of them came up to the apartment to load the furniture, the other mover stayed in the truck the whole time. I showed the mover that came up the things that needed to be moved, and I also asked him not to take anything I had put in the kitchen, that I had put things in the kitchen to get them out of his way and I did not want those things taken. I also had a few smaller things that I?d love to take if it wouldn?t put me over the time, but they were small and I could take them in my car, so they weren?t necessary and I only wanted them loaded on the truck at the end if it looked like there was extra time. When I told him that and that I was hoping to keep the move under 3 hours, he told me that I?d better tip well then, because the company doesn?t pay them much and he wouldn?t have bothered coming in for just 3 hours. (he seriously said that to me). The mover suggested that to save time he?d bring things down to the truck and the mover on the truck could wrap them there, I told him that would be great, but that a lot of the things didn?t need to be wrapped at all. He then started wrapping the things that I?d just told him didn?t need to be wrapped (for example, he wrapped cushions in padding, I don?t understand that), so I asked him about his idea to bring them down so that his partner could wrap them and he said he decided to do it. Then he expanded on his earlier comment about how they?re not paid much and so I would need to tip well. He didn?t start taking anything down to the truck until after an hour and a half, when he came back up to the apartment he told me it had already been 3 hours. As it had been an hour and forty minutes at that point, I was understandably shocked. I told him the time and that it had only been an hour and forty minutes, not three hours and he started yelling at me. He told me that he wouldn?t take anything else down to the truck, that they would just take whatever was down already. My mistake, apparently, was not hovering over him and making sure he brought things down in the right order, because when I looked around I realized that he?d taken down the things I?d told him I only wanted if there was some spare time, but he hadn?t taken down all of the important things yet. At this point I tried to call their office to complain/explain what was happening. As I was explaining the situation over the phone, the mover started yelling at me that I was lying. While I was on the phone the mover didn?t work, but hovered over me to monitor what I was saying and tell me I was lying. Eventually I worked it out with the man on the phone that the truck would be unloaded and I?d hire other movers (hopefully ones that wouldn?t verbally abuse me). When I went down to the truck to confirm that the office had called them and that they were going to unload the truck, the mover that had stayed with the truck didn?t want to do that and convinced me that they would bring everything to my house and charge me 1/2 an hour extra (it had already been close to three hours). At this point I was so worn down from everything that had happened so far that I agreed and they brought the stuff to my house. Once things were unloaded I saw that they brought things that I had put in the kitchen and explicitly told them not to bring. So now I?ll have to bring those things back to the apartment. Overall, with only one mover bringing the furniture down from my apartment and nobody doing anything at all while I was on the phone with their office, the move took 4 hours. I can appreciate that loading can take longer than unloading, but loading the truck took nearly 3 hours, unloading took 1/2 an hour after we?d agreed I wasn?t going to pay them for more than 3-1/2 hours. I think it?s pretty clear that the 3 hours it took to load was a result of the combination of only one of the movers working and him taking an extra long time with everything because he was paid by the hour. Had both workers moved the furniture from my apartment, it would have easily been done within three hours. I find it really upsetting that I paid for 2 movers so one could sit in the truck. Time aside, in the first half hour, the mover that was in my apartment repeatedly told me that I would have to give him a big tip because it wasn?t worth his time otherwise, he yelled at me, called me a liar and was just verbally abusive towards me. He behaved despicably and that is not what I hire a company for. There are so many good reviews on here, that I went with this company over a few others that were a little cheaper. I?m just shocked and appalled by how I was treated during this move. There?s no excuse to for treating anyone how I was treated.

The move went very well. The MotM site has an easy to use inventory process. Initially, they gave me an estimate. However, when I insisted on a fixed price, they came through. The only thing they required was that I vouch for the fact that my list was accurate. Two guys showed up, close to on time, with a huge truck (overkill). They were courteous and efficient and took a lot of care not to damage anything. Then they moved everything in where it needed to go. Only minus was that the company insists that a ridiculous amount of paperwork be initialed/signed before work can begin. Pretty insane (and I'm a lawyer).

They were very accommodating to my needs. They answered all of my questions and did very good work. They called me because they were running a little bit late. They told me when they would be there and showed up at that time. They packed all of my things up and moved them into storage for me.

It was a very small move. It's based on an houry rate, but there was a minimum. It was great.

They had me sold from the first call. Robin was professional and very helpful in arranging for the estimate. Dan came to my apartment on Saturday and to give me the estimate. What he quoted me is what I paid. Solomon and his crew arrived on time and started work right away in covering all the furniture. I did not think that they would be able to get my sectional couch, overstuffed chair and the larger pieces of furniture thru the winding narrow stairs of the second floor in the 2 family home I lived in but they did. When we arrived at my new apartment they brought my furniture undamaged in asked where I would like it placed and even arranged the pillows on my couch. I have used other moving companies before but I will never use anyone again accept MEN ON THE MOVE they are great.

Email estimate request, received prompt answer,a few emails back and forth and had a quick estimate. They seem to about going rate, but their estimate of $750+, was quickly rec,d, I declined . For the value of the items being moved , the fee was too high. I found a local person to to do the job. Based on the estimate experience I would look to them in the furiture for a warranted expense job.

They were very professional and careful with the furniture I needed moved. They took care of my things as if it was their own. I really trusted them.

Overall everything went very well. I had everything packed, labeled, and ready to go. The crew arrived right on time and moved quickly and efficiently to finish as quickly as possible. But even with the quick speed, no quality was lost. They took good care to make sure everything was properly wrapped and protected as it was loaded onto the truck. When they arrived at the final destination they carefully unloaded everything and made sure that it ended up exactly where I wanted it. Very quick service. They finished in less time that the original estimate. I only ended up having to pay for the minimum number of hours because they finished just under the minimum required time and the estimate had them an hour over the minimum.

It was excellent! They were reliable and efficient. They called in extra people when they needed to. They packed and unpacked much of our stuff. They were very nice.

th

Everything was just fine. The owner came and what he estimated was what it was. Everything went according to plan.

We have been storing with them since June and we have two rooms. We pay $500 a month. They have dealt with my husband and they were responsive. The facility has been clean. They had a coupon online and we forgot about it. When we remembered and asked them about it, they said it was too late. They did give us a discount because we got two rooms and they are far from each other. We didn’t compare their prices.

My son, was very vague about what he was moving. The owner, worked with me, spent 6 hours in son's apartment. Really had much more than estimate, but the company stuck to their estimate. Would definitely use again.

Men on the Move made a very stressful and exhausting experience fun and exciting. Thank you!

Could not be more pleased! The Gentlemen were so professional, friendly and went the extra mile. They also kept us within their estimate which was done over the phone. This was important to us. We highly recommend this company for anyone moving. ONLY slight drawback - we needed to call several times to get an answer and then confirm a few days before. Dont let that stop you from using them..... Small price to pay for awesome service! Bravo to the MOTM Team!!! AND - a BIG thank you!

The day of packing came as scheduled, with professional people experienced in wrapping and moving. The apartment was emptied in 3 + hours. We were given an arrival date of between 7-10 days, and they arrived again according to schedule, and even called ahead to be sure we would be at the address when they arrived. They unpacked and moved all our items efficiently. The only damage was one dinner plate and one wine goblet that I had packed myself. I was highly satisfied with Men on the Move and would recommend them to anyone. thanksJG

I’m planning to use them. The guy was very pleasant when he came. The price seemed quite reasonable. The estimate was $2000. I can’t say if that’s a great value or not. I had 3 estimates and I basically liked the man who came and his approach so I accepted the estimate. I’m planning on moving next week. The man that came out gave me a good impression. He addressed my concerns. He was on time.
