New York Mover Reviews
Everything was great and we’re so helpful and quick!
Hey wonderful. Highly recommend
They were very hard workers and were knowledgeable about how to load the truck. Very polite and friendly. My only negative was that they arrived an hour before their scheduled arrival window and we weren’t quite prepared to start. Hire a Helper, however, adjusted their time to reflect the actual start time and it worked out great.
Wonderful people and great communication.
Amazing job!! Finish in record time
On time, got right to work and was very efficient. Happy to recommend!
Great service, incredibly helpful and friendly and worked really hard for us. Did a great job packing our pod.
Charles and Buddah were fabulous! Could not have done it without them!!
On time and very courteous! Would definitely use A Positive movers again!
The team was so nice and caring given my family situation. They made sure they were efficient and helpful with packing and loading my things. They were so caring and wanting to ensure that all my things were well placed and secured in thr POD. I would hire them again to assist in unloading next time.
Kenneth Anthony
Can’t ask for better than Yusuf Neal - he is so kind, communicative, organized, and just a big old sweetheart! He was on time, super respectful and patient. The move went very smoothly and he made it utterly painless! Thank you so much, Yusuf Neal & Elijah, for all your help in such a short turn around time!!
The crew was wonderful! Very friendly and efficient. On time, they worked diligently and cheerfully even though it was an extremely hot day. We are very satisfied and we enthusiastically recommend Q’s moving!
Very friendly, helpful, talented, and communicative. They got the work done fast and made sure I was happy with the results. Thank you!
They were on time and worked hard to finish the job respecting our house hold things. I definitely use them again.
Cimply Labor did a nice job of loading our POD. I do wish they had brought a furniture dolly, but it worked out well anyway. They were thorough and helpful. I would definitely recommend them.
Unbelievable packing skills!! Daniel and his team meticulously loaded my 26ft truck as if it was their own home. Very pleasant, professional and extremely efficient. Best moving experience I have ever had!
Amazing job! Can’t recommend them enough!
Amazing team - great to have them as a partner on a stressful moving day. Would use the again in a heartbeat - thank you!
The movers were friendly but professional, neat and courteous, efficient and knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone looking for moving services.
Great job! Kind, courteous and extremely careful. Would definitely use again.
They were on time They were prepared for the job Yes the did work diligently They were respectful Yes I would use them again.
Yousef and Ravon were excellent and went above and beyond. Thanks!
They were great! Arrived on time, communicated, came prepared, and were friendly. Would recommend and hire again.
Musa and his team did a wonderful job. Even though I was almost late to meeting my arrival window, they made the best of their time and got all my stuff unpacked in a very efficient and thorough manner. The crew was respectful and very easy to coordinate with. I will be booking directly with them next time.
I hired 3 movers for 2 hours to help load a moving truck; all 3 were there 25 minutes early! My bldg interior had just been renovated, and the hallways and stairwell are EXTREMELY narrow so i was super nervous about marking and gouging the new walls/trim. All 3 movers were excellent. Absolutely no damage done to the walls! Entire job was done in 50 minutes. I would highly recommend this company for your moving needs.
The crew from SimpleMoves called to say they would be 30 minutes later than the scheduled time. The crew was very thorough in emptying the POD that held most of the 'stuff' from our basement. They were most considerate of property and possessions. The crew worked fast and hard. I had no issues with their efforts.
I had a somewhat complicated move, unloading a 16' POD in Queens and then driving in to Manhattan for a storage unit drop off and then a move up to an apartment nearby. I was SO stressed but Sharp guys were right on time, patient with me as I got organized, and then tireless and heroic in the heat of the NYC day. They took such great care of my stuff and we finished in the allotted time. Early even! The best was the team lead (Dima) communicated with the building elevator guy and made it all seamless. Amazing experience!
Michelle was extremely friendly, and the two gentlemen who helped me were great. Definitely would recommend to anyone regardless of move size.
Great
Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. True professionals with great attitude and work ethic. Highly recommend!!!
Great help! Professional and fairly priced
They arrived on time and were extremely polite and professional. They worked hard and were very careful with my items. I would use them again without a doubt!
The guys were great!! Very courteous and carful with our items. We will definitely use your company again if in need. Thank you so much.
All moving is stressful but the guys from Ant Movers made the whole process a lot easier. They turned up on time were respectful of both us and our furniture. Nothing was too much trouble and were proactive with suggestions on how to stack and store the furniture efficiently. They were very polite and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Team was Excellent! very respectful and friendly. Office was very communicative upon my reservation also. They arrived as scheduled & moved my belongings very efficiently & carefully and stayed within 2hr frame! I would recommend to family and friends.
The were 20 minutes late. But they worked VERY HARD. Nice fellows! Polite! Curteous! Will call on them if I need help!
Friendly and helpful they made everything go smoothly
I used them again, and they did not disappoint me. I will definitely recommend them to family and friends.
Tony and John were efficient, personable and did an amazing job! I plan to hire them again for the next part of my move.

The Boroughs in New York City
What's it like to live in New York? Ask a New Yorker to pick one thing they love about the city and you’ll get a hundred answers. How easy it is to get around using the subways, on foot, or on a bike. The 13,000 bodegas (with their resident cats) where you can buy everything from milk to lottery tickets, food from around the world for every budget, tons of pro sports, recreational spaces to play in, world-famous museums to explore, intimate jazz nights to enjoy, or how about a show on Broadway? You’re spoiled for choice in the Big Apple! Our movers know the best routes to beat the traffic and get you to your new home safe and sound.
Manhattan
There are over 1,700 parks and playgrounds in New York City, and the most famous is in Manhattan: Central Park borders the Upper West Side, a neighborhood characterized by its beautiful brownstones. And there's High Line, an elevated linear park built on a historic freight rail line that runs through the artistic neighborhood of Chelsea.
And while West Village has strong community ties and a relaxed pace of life, Greenwich Village is also home to historic sites and iconic music venues. No matter where you are, Manhattan is highly walkable and well-connected through the city’s famous subways, but driving is a symphony of one-way streets, low bridges, and tight corners, so professional movers are a must!
Brooklyn
Brooklyn is the heartbeat of New York City, with the comfort of community and a generous helping of character.
Family-friendly Park Slope is packed with playgrounds and top-rated schools, and the streets of Bushwick are a canvas of large-scale murals. And with its leafy streets and views of the Manhattan skyline, Brooklyn Heights has an old-world feel worthy of the city’s first historic district. (Brooklyn is also home to Coney Island, the world famous amusement park with iconic boardwalk!)
Don’t forget to get your temporary parking permits for moving day; professional movers know the secrets to securing the best parking spots.
Queens
Queens is where the world meets!
The historic streets of Astoria are brimming with Greek bakeries, cafés, and one of the oldest beer gardens in New York — the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden that serves traditional Czech and Slovak beer and food.
Meanwhile, Flushing is a hub of Asian culture, renowned for its authentic Chinese and Korean eateries and markets. Bayside is known for its quiet residential streets and excellent schools. (You can also spend your weekends boating at Bayside Marina!)
Whether you’re moving into a walkup or a home with a yard, professional movers know exactly how to help you get settled in.
The Bronx
Hailed as the birthplace of hip hop and graffiti, The Bronx is New York City’s northernmost borough and home to the New York Yankees. But Yankee Stadium isn’t the only feather in The Bronx’s sporting cap: strap on your helmet and join thousands of cyclists at Tour de Bronx for a 10-, 25- or 40-mile ride through the borough. And Arthur Avenue, also known as Little Italy, for authentic Italian restaurants, stores, and bakeries.
The Bronx is a bustling borough with an extensive public transportation system, with trains, subway stops, and buses making it easy to get around the city. But the roads are another story, so let experienced professional movers get you through The Grand Concourse while you enjoy its Art Deco architecture.
Staten Island
New York City’s biggest borough is Staten Island, which has a more suburban feel with larger homes, quieter neighborhoods, and plenty of ways to spend time in nature. North Mt. Loretto State Forest offers walking and biking trails, and at Lemon Creek you can take to the water to fish, paddle, and kayak.
And although Staten Island isn’t connected to the New York City subway system, the free Staten Island Ferry connects the borough to Manhattan, with iconic views of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline.
Several major bridges connect Staten Island to other parts of New York and New Jersey, and professional movers will know the best route to take to reduce tolls and travel time.

Courtney and David were great!! Five stars, so helpful and speedy. Took great care of my items. If I could give them ten stars I would! Highly recommend.
Excellent movers! Took great care of my belongs, were careful not to hit the wall of my building, and very efficient! They took extra time to get everything to fit in my storage pod and I could not recommend them enough!
Communication with the team was easy through text and they were flexible with my schedule. They showed up promptly, and did the unloading job more efficiently than I could have hoped for. They were very nice, responsive to my instructions for where to put items, and careful to not damage my items or the place I was moving into. I would definitely recommend.
Sharp Van Lines, represented by Dimitri and Sasha, was terrific with my move! They were on time, hard working, efficient, respectful as well as friendly. I recommend Sharp Van Lines highly!
Eric and Kevin were very polite when moving heavy moving boxes up 2 flights of stairs during a heat advisory. ProMove is easy to schedule with and weee prompt to respond when I needed to call.
David and his coworker did a real nice job loading up our moving truck. Had to deal with a tough staircase and a bit of a walk to the truck curbside. No complaining, worked efficiently to get the job completed without adding any extra work hours! Easy to work with and everything arrived safely and intact from Ct. to Ga. Highly recommend these guys! Fred B
This was an easy company to work with. We were able to schedule within a day of when we needed them. The guys were professional, hard workers and polite. Would definitely recommend!
Eric and Kevin arrived early and were friendly and efficient. They handled steep, narrow 4 flights of stairs on a blistering hot day without complaint. Highly recommend.
We had a very stressful morning getting our truck and the Never Tired Movers team turned around our day. They were very kind, professional, and quick!! Would definitely use them again.
Sergio and his crew called me in advance to let me know what time they’d be arriving and were promptly there. They moved five rooms of massive furniture within thirty minutes and did it with a smile. Courteous Kind and Respectful. A great moving experience!!!
Exceptional service. Accommodating and extremely professional. They helped take a lot of the anxiety out of moving, knowing that your stuff will be moved fast and with great care. Will be using their service again!
