Great Movers

I am really happy with choosing Great Movers for our move into our new Condo, from Manhattan to New Jersey. First, the Sales person was always very reactive to each email I sent prior to the move and accommodated us by dropping the boxes and other material 4 days prior to the move, even if we only needed a small amount.
On the morning of moving, the crew came actually 15 minutes earlier, which was great! They were 4 crew members and it went very fast (about 2 hours), and they took great care of all of our furniture and belongings. Plus, the cost was very competitive for NYC!
Thanks again!

Great experience. Professional, responsive, flexible scheduling and priced right.

NYC Great Movers had a big challenge moving out my stuff quickly in a crowded high-​rise with dysfunctional elevators. They did everything without breaking an eggshell. Thumbs Up!

These guys were amazing. Everything went so smooth and quick. despite the weather (snow). On time. Efficient. 4 guys arrived, even though I paid for 3.
From my initial request for a quote, until the move being complete was a great experience.
The price was unbelievable and I would never have found cheaper.
Thanks for making my move so great!

I used these guys this week to move from Hoboken to Manhattan. They were prompt (I wasn’t), hard working and professional. Everything arrived safe and sound. Based upon my experience of their efficient, no nonsense conduct, I’d have no hesitation recommending Great Movers as, Great Movers. (ps. The price was exactly as agreed. No surprises.)

My fiancé and I were moving from our separate apartments into a new apartment. Great Movers were wonderful to work with. They gave us an unbelievably terrific quote for our move, which included pick-​ups at both of our apartments. The movers arrived 10 minutes early and within 2.5 hours, our belongings were out of both apartments and into the new one. The movers could not have been nicer, too. I can’t recommend Great Movers enough after this move!

Great moving experience. The team showed up early and worked meticulously and rapidly to safely move all of our furniture and belongings. We were concerned that the move would be difficult, especially to our new home in which the interior had just been painted. However, again the team of 5 guys amazed us by moving everything without a scratch on the walls. The price right and the work professional. We are very pleased.

Highly recommend these guys, they were fast, good, and polite.
Details of our move:
— Mid month on a Sunday morning
— 2 pick up locations, a 4^th floor walk up and a storage facility
— they wrapped and packed my bed and box spring very carefully
— Manhattan to Brooklyn
Everything went smoothly, movers are fantastic. Our quoted rate and final amount paid were comparable. No hidden fees or surprises. All of our stuff moved in perfect condition. We would call them again for future moves.

Punctual, efficient, and friendly! Best value I found. They even temporarily removed the front door to make my couch fit. Highly recommend them!

These guys are so awesome. They sent 5 guys to our place and got the move done in under 3 hours (as quoted) with multiple pick up and drop off locations. They were super careful with all of our stuff and they plastic wrapped furniture pieces at no extra cost. Also they didn’t require that every single loose item be boxed. They saved us a lot of trouble. Money well spent and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for movers.

This is my fourth time using Great Movers
Their estimate is always accurate — no hidden extras. Their price is very reasonable. The guys they send have always arrived exactly on time. They are incredibly quick and efficient but also very careful and very helpful: they listen
to you and do what you ask politely, professionally and without attitude.
They honestly deserve to be called Great Movers.

moving is always a headache for me, something always goes wrong, I always end up with the stupidest movers, etc. But Great Movers were PERFECT. Everything went super smooth, they know exactly what they are doing, and they did it in half the time. All my items are in perfect condition. When they whirlwinded in and out of my old and new home, I was like «that’s it?! We’re done?» This is the first time of the 20 moves in my ENTIRE life where I was actually distressed by the movers. The cost was absolutely reasonable (maybe even on the low side considering they had 6 flights of stairs to climb. They were in constant communication, never leaving me wondering. ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! They are on my speed dial for my next move, and I“ll definitely highly recommend to all my friends. Thanks guys! you were awesome!
PS: they were completely trustworthy. Price quoted was exactly the price I paid. No surprises.

We found Great Movers online and we feel so fortunate to have decided to have their team helping with our move.
Kevin, the main contact, is very responsive to customers and absolutely professional in what he does. For instance, before giving us the quote, he asked to see a picture of the upright piano we needed to move, thus he got the idea about how many he needed to send for our job. Him being so organized makes us feel very much at ease about the insurance coverage required by the building management.
On the day of our move, the team (total of 5 guys led by Danny, the lead out on field, great team leader.) was punctual and super efficient. Even we live up in White Plains and they came all the way from Brooklyn, they know how precious time is.
Most importantly, don’t underestimate these well built guys’ capability of handling delicate tasks. Look at the picture of how very well they got my upright piano wrapped, you can also tell how much care&caution they applied to placing it down to our floor.
Unlike some moving companies, Great Movers work hard, waste no time & pay attention to your stuff, whether it’s about dissembling/​assembling the furniture or where you want your furniture to be placed at your new place. The quote turned out to be quite close to the actual cost, and their service was worth every buck spent, simply exceptional!!!
Though we really don’t want to move again (old bones, haha), we will definitely ask for Great Movers’ help if we ever have to move again. Without a doubt, we’d recommend their service to anyone in need of moving their stuffs, because they truly are great movers!

I found Great movers on Unilocal and wasn’t sure if they could live up to the hype but they did! They gave me a quote and were finished in that time frame. They were fast, careful and super professional! I worked with them in a tight time frame and they were great at calling/​emailing promptly and letting me know what to expect.
I am so happy we went with them, I got many quotes from other companies but they were the most competitive– I thought perhaps the quality of the move would suffer because of this but they were as their name says GREAT! Highly recommend them.

These guys honestly couldn’t have done a better job. Reasonably priced relative to competitors. Showed up on time, moved very quickly and helped with the move prep in addition to all the heavy lifting.
Moved out of a 5^th floor walk up into a six floor walk up across town… These guys were beasts. They handled my belongings with care, came prepared, didn’t leave a mark on a single item and didn’t put a scratch on any wall. Couldn’t be happier with this investment… Wouldn’t think of going with another service.

Adding to the reviews here on the site, I want to say that working with Great Movers was an extremely positive experience. My 1-​br move from the FiDi to Brooklyn was a smooth one, with no hitches other than a bottleneck in our building because of an out-​of-​service elevator that was beyond the movers’ control. Overall it took 5 hours.
I was quoted a competitive rate of $ 125/​hr for a team of four men, and on the day of the move a 5^th man was also present. The movers were small guys and not physically imposing, so at first I wondered how they would handle some of my heaviest book boxes, but they had a perfect system of teamwork and their own dollies and moving carts that made the process fly by. They are clearly used to working together and do everything they can to finish the process quickly.
Finally, though it’s a little costly to get a CoI/​liability insurance statement if you have a management company that requires it ($ 50 for the first, $ 30 for subsequent), some of that cost can be defrayed by the generous Unilocal offer that gets you $ 35 of credit for just $ 15. Be aware that you will also pay 8.8% sales tax if you pay by credit card.
All in all, I was very satisfied with Great Movers and would not hesitate to use them again!

The exact right NYC apartment moving experience. Went from a place set on a narrow Nolitan street to just about the same situation in Downtown Brooklyn.
The team of five guys moved us out and in within 3 – 4 hours, furniture disassembly and assembly included. They were fast, but careful. Friendly, but professional. They were as their company name implies.
I’d recommend them to anyone.

Solid, efficient work, with a responsive front office.
While moving an apartment this summer, got a competitive quote for four men from Great Movers. A two-​block move from a walk-​up to an elevator building, they required payment for three hours minimum, which was fine. The new building’s insurance requirement was handled quickly, though with a $ 50 charge.
On the day of the move, was surprised to see a fifth mover on location, with a concomitant $ 10 hourly rate increase. This was fine, as it’d only run me $ 30, so we proceeded to complete the move in an efficient, thoughtful manner, all done in about an hour-​and-​a-​half. This was even despite a lap around the block to avoid a parking ticket.
Had a brief disagreement with Danny the crew chief regarding the tip and manpower at the end of the move, but fair payment was worked out with the front office upon further communication. All said, Great Movers worked out to a significant savings over the other guys, with high-​level service.

We engaged Great Movers for our move. Right from the word go Kevin was eager to help and understand our needs and just within 4 days he arranged our move. The staff arrived in time, they were very professional and not engaging in wasting any time during the course of the move. Alex and his team were very cordial and professional in their approach.
I definitely recommend Great movers and I would only engage them for our next move. Good Luck Kevin and his team for your future endeavours.

I was very anxious when I booked GreatMovers. It was very last minute, I was running out of options. Meanwhile I read so many bad reviews of all sorts of moving companies, which made me believe it might be a quite nasty experience.
These guys were great! They were able to come earlier because my building asked. They said no initially but then managed to make it. I was very happy when they showed up. They were very careful in wrapping up things, came with all the tools, professional and passionate, plus, very timing sensitive which is great because you are charged by hour.
I had a good experience. Would definitely recommend Great Movers :)
