My husband and I were planning on renting a uhaul and doing the move ourself to pickup our stuff in my moms garage in NJ and bring it to Connecticut. Last minute we decided the almost three hour drive each way combined with how much stuff we actually had vs what we thought we had wasn't worth it doing it ourselves. We checked around a few places Sunday night asking for a Tuesday move and Braha was very prompt in replying and had the lowest quote so we went with them. So glad we did! Russ was extremely communicative over text, email and phone and transparent with pricing. We ended up the night before adding a few more items and thirty boxes and the price only went up a bit. The day of the move Klim and Alfonso called me they were stuck in some traffic and would be an hour late which was nice they called. My mom kept texting me while they were packing her garage that these guys were the best and so nice and quick. I felt the same when they arrived for the unpacking. Very professional and delicate with all our stuff. We helped them unload and it got done super fast. The whole team truly made this process so easy that I don't think I can ever move again myself! Will 100% be using them in the future. read more

Braha did a one bedroom apartment move last week from Englewood, New Jersey to Tampa. Pickup - very professional, kind foreman - Showed up an hour late - Showed up WITHOUT the COI which I clearly communicated with email - One of guys asked me if he could have my small packet of jerky sitting in the kitchen and I said "sure." To that he answered "we don't take, we always ask" - completely unprofessional Delivery - so no one keeps us updated of the move, we have to keep calling "dispatch" - Alex, a young gentleman, gives us a delivery window of 8 am to 10am and shows up at 11:30 with other notifying us. Here's where it goes sideways. They do an excellent job putting together the bed and couch. However, they did it hastily & we have damage to out brand new home walls and corners in multiple places. Alex has an attitude, a bad one. They cracked my garbage can and I asked him how we can rectify it and he goes with a look "you're going to claim that?" Mind you this is a $75 stainless steel garbage can with an infrared sensor. Now here comes the TIP. After him denying the damage to the walls, being 1.5 hours late and making me feel foolish for asking about a broken garbage can, he then asks for a tip. I say "I am sorry, I cannot tip you" To that he states "I got into moving because it's hard work with big tips and that we drove all night". Keep in mind I paid a pretty penny for professional packing and unpacking. Tips are OPTIONAL, I shouldn't have to pay nearly 4 grand for an attitude, damaged walls and (over an hour late) on both pickup AND arrival and then being shamed into tipping. read more

We recently moved from NYC to Albany, NY and had a fantastic experience with Braha. Nick was extremely communicative and gave us a fair estimate for the service. He was readily available to answer any questions or deal with any issues that came up. On the day of the move, Juan, Misha and Alex were prompt, hard working, diligent and got the job done efficiently. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. Our move couldn't have gone any better and we will certainly be using Braha again if we ever decide to move in the future! read more

We used Braha on a long distance move from NYC to ATL. We booked them through the UNPAKT service (which I would also recommend). They showed up on time and unloaded our apartment quickly and efficiently. Everything was wrapped for protection. I worked for 6 summers as a mover in high school and college, so I know that they did everything properly. Because of this, the apartment was packed and prepped so that they could work efficiently. Everything arrived in Atlanta in one piece and within the estimated delivery time. I would definitely recommend these guys to anybody. read more

The Braha team was exceedingly efficient in packing and moving my 3 bedroom apartment (including 3 flights of stairs). The team were all very friendly and professional. I did have a few issues that are worth noting: 1) They accidentally left one of my backpacks on their truck when they moved (presumably thinking it was one of theirs, understandable). When I called they hand-delivered the item within 48 hours. So aside from a few moments of panic where I thought that the bag was lost, no problem. 2) They broke the wooden rail of a rocking chair. I expect things to be potentially be broken but I was a little disappointed that they had seen it (they had applied some packing tape to the damage) but not mentioned it. The chair had clearly fallen in the truck as it also had some marks on it from what I would assume was the paint in the truck. It was a replaceable part, I ordered a new one and they refunded the cost to me. 3. My file cabinet had a drawer badly dented to the point where it could no longer close. They took it to their repair shop and repaired it. It is far from new looking now, but it works. 4. a bowl was broken while they were packing... whatever.. it happens. All of these issues took a little longer than I would have liked to resolve, around three weeks of back and forth and multiple emails and calls. They did their best to resolve the issues though and they clearly stand by their service. Again, I would stress that the movers where generally excellent and much better than the last movers I used, I would have liked to avoid the hassles of repair. I'd still recommend them as honest and reliable movers. read more

This was my first time using a moving company, and I didn't really know where to begin. I moved from Atlanta to NYC. Nick was incredibly helpful and communicative, answering every one of my questions up until the move. Pricing was transparent, the movers did a phenomenal job, and coordinating a delivery time that worked best was seamless. I don't have much to compare Braha to, but I was really blown away by how easy they made it and how well they took care of all my stuff. Will definitely use them in the future. read more

We used Braha Moving Systems to relocate from Chicago to upstate New York. Sergey and Misha were very efficient, professional and friendly. This move involved the usual household items plus an entire home workshop of tools and major power equipment used to make guitars. By far this is the best moving experience I have ever experienced. The rates were reasonable. The booking experience was simple. The process far exceeded my expectations. I guess I am used to local Chicago movers who tell you they will treat your possessions as if they were their own and then play catch with grandmas Ming vase. I would use Braha again and I do not hesitate to give them 5 stars. read more

I have used Braha Moving 3 different times now. They are truly the best of the best. It is SO hard to find moving companies in NYC that are reliable, fair, trust worrying, hard working and caring, but the Braha guys posses all of these things. They are also easy to get a hold of, personable, honest and kind. They moved me from SOHO to Brooklyn Heights last year and then from Brooklyn to Boston today. They did it in one day and were so beyond awesome. Thank you guys for your service! I recommend you to all my friends. You really are the best of the best- keep doing what you are doing! So glad I found you!! read more

I know that everyone hates their movers, but after my 4th cross country move Braha was the worst I've dealt with. Their quote ended up being half of the actual charge, but by the time they are there to pick up the house, there is little choice left than to pay the extra $3,000. I had more things poorly packed and broken than any of my other moves. Things like paintings stretched, tall glass vases broken, and more. Honestly, the majority of our boxes looked like someone had dropped them from the truck - squished on the bottom with broken everything. Bad communication, bad estimate, bad delivery. Pay the extra and go with a big-name mover, it'll wind up being the same price in the end. read more

My wife and I used them 3 years ago and we just used them again now. We had a different team this time: Todd, Alex and Ruslan. Same great service: on time, quick, precise and polite. Nothing broken, all requests satisfied. Great experience! Highly recommend. read more

This was the best moving company we have worked with! We moved from the Midwest back to NYC and the team from start to finish was professional, attentive and cautious with our furniture. They gave us an excellent quote, coordinated the certificate of insurance and other small details, arrived on time, completed packing efficiently, tracked and tagged boxes and pieces, stored our items for 2.5 weeks and moved us into our new apartment without any issues. We had 25 boxes, tons of hand built furniture and other items that they handled with such care. Each member of the team was nice to work with and Nick has been a pleasure to stay in communication with. Whenever we move again we will definitely use them- we have connected them to other friends who are moving as well! read more

I used Braha to move from one 1-bedroom in Manhattan to another. I had a remarkably painless and seamless, inexpensive move thanks to Braha! Frank and his team had a no-nonsense, get-the-job-done attitude, and they did get the job done quickly and safely. They had a better hourly rate than other companies we looked at, and we did not sacrifice at all on quality of service. I would highly recommend Braha and commend Frank for being honest, hardworking, and going above and beyond to make our move easy. read more

They did a great job packing and moving stuff out of the apartment. That's the only positive about them. They came more than an hour late and tried to charge me an hour of "wait time" even though they only waited for half an hour at the lobby. The only reason why the had to wait was because they came more than an hour late. My roommate was ready to let them in but had to leave after waiting for them for an hour, requiring me to rush to the new apartment from Brooklyn, about an hour of travel time. I was able to dispute the fee, but what a pain to deal with when moving is already stressful. (Update on this: I received an email about additional charges from the move and of course the 1-hour wait time charge that was discussed as dropped was included, even though Braha said they will drop it. Incompetence is all they have to show). I then realized one of my furniture had a large hole on its side that was not there before the move. The shelf of my nightstand also has a large scratch that was not there before. My suitcase was badly discolored from a spill that happened from a bottle of detergent that was packed tightly with tape and a large ziploc bag. It is abundantly clear they do not handle items appropriately during the move when their clients are not looking. I emailed them about the damages, it has been more than two weeks, and have not gotten a reply. They clearly do not care. I will never be using their "services" again and no one should either. Avoid for your own good. Update 1: They called me to negotiate an update on this review. They offered to replace my items after I emailed them photos of the damaged items. Their excuse of not replying to my original email was that I sent it to the wrong email address, even though that email address is posted on their website. I sent another email with photos and a summary of the phone call I had. It's been two weeks and I've gotten no replies, again. Dishonest and disrespectful money and time-wasters. Update 2: After two months of waiting the movers delivered and built a replacement hatch for my desk. The night stand was repaired, albeit the mark can still slightly be seen. read more

Braha Moving Systems just performed a move of my belongings from Florida to Atlanta. In the process of doing so they destroyed an antique coffee table and severely damaged the corners of my dining room table (a new and expensive piece from West Elm that is worth $700). The service people aren't responsive, and they delivered my belongings 3 days after initially communicated because of a truck maintenance issue. Mind you, the drivers of the said truck were not aware of the issue to the truck when they arrived. This was overall a horrible experience, I would not recommend using Braha Moving Systems. You're better off renting a U-Haul and throwing your back out. This is a clown service. read more

Great experience with this company from start to finish. I would definitely use them again. They were very helpful and responsive by phone or e-mail to quote and arrange the move, including sending certificates of insurance to our building. On the day of the move, the three guys worked hard and took great care of our stuff. They disassembled and wrapped our furniture, got it out of our old place and into our new place, and unwrapped and re-assembled on the other end. They did all this faster than estimated and our final price was lower as a result. The best part - not a single item broke during the move. read more

The moving guys (Misha, Igor and Sergei) were excellent. 5* for them - truly fantastic. They were immensely efficient and friendly. They arrived ready to go and had everything wrapped up in a matter of hours. Their price is also very competitive. The only issue we experienced was relating to their insurance policy. NB - this is in all likelihood not the fault of the company but rather with the Insurance provider (and the general price gouging bullsh*t that the industry promotes). During the move our Amazon Echo somehow got cracked even though it was in the original box. We flagged this up with the office and asked for compensation. They have insurance but the stipulations seem to be that they are only covered for $0.30 per LB of weight. So an computer worth $1000 that only weights 2lbs, for instances, will net you around $0.60 in compensation. But again this isn't a reflection on Braha (hence the 5 stars). Ultimately they offered us more than they were legally obliged to, as a gesture of good faith, which is always appreciated. All in all it is a superb service. You may want to consider either taking out your own insurance or being prepared to wear the cost if anything unfortunately does break. read more

Braha was amazing! I was very nervous about moving my stuff from New York to Tennessee. I looked into many different moving companies. Braha did a great job! They were the best price too. The coordinator Garry was always quick to answer my many many questions. Juan and the moving team was so efficient and calm. The delivery team was great too! I highly recommend using Braha! read more

The Braha team was extremely professional and courteous. They were communicative, helpful and quick! I would definitely use them again!! read more

Our sales rep was Ksenia and our pick up movers were Max and Max. They are true professionals. I wasn't a great customer because I underestimated the inventory that they had to pick up and move, by about half, but they did it anyway. This changed the quote amount by quite a bit...but again, mostly my fault. Fair warning though: they do a very meticulous job. Every piece of furniture was wrapped and padded. This process took a long time but our items were very well packed. We weren't expecting such elaborate packing but then again, I guess we could've done better prep work for them as well. We just got boxes from UHaul and threw our stuff in them and left our furniture out for them. We are still waiting for the drop off but so far we are satisfied. read more

I used these guys to move my 1 bedroom apartment from the Upper East Side to Harlem. They were quick, and polite and arrived just before the scheduled time. The price was good as well. read more

Terrible communication and process. We moved from San Francisco to Seattle and used Braha for inter state moving. The SF movers did not contact us. The Braha office (Lavina) was proactive until they received our confirmation to use them, but no communication from them after that. We had to call Braha each time for updates. No communication from the Seattle movers until we called Braha at least three times. The delivery window got postponed by 7 days. We have a newborn baby and will be without any of our stuff for nearly 3 weeks. I do not recommend Braha and will use a big name company for inter-state moving next time. It's too stressful and uncoordinated. read more

Braha was incredibly professional, fast, and efficient. I had never moved out of state and I had never used a moving company before and was not sure what to expect. Frank texted me on the morning of the move to let me know they would be there soon, then called 2 days later to tell me he would deliver everything the next day, and then called me on delivery day to say he was on the way. On delivery day, I was given a checklist of my items, and every time they brought one in, I checked off the item. I am extremely impressed and grateful for Braha. There is no messing around with these guys, they are the real deal and excellent at their jobs. All of my furniture was wrapped nicely and delivered with care. I will use Braha every time I move. read more

Juan was awesome and honest! Did everything he was suppose to do ! I am happy we went with braha! Nothing was damaged, they were late due to the hurricane but Juan called and explained ! Very happy with braha! read more

Sergii's team moved us out of our apartment in Long Island City. They were courteous, professional, and very (like, astonishingly) fast. We were concerned about our large art pieces and televisions, having not ordered boxes ahead of time, but they had all the materials on hand and packaged them up without an issue. They tagged everything and provided a detailed bill of lading at the end. Braha's support beforehand was excellent, and it doesn't hurt that their pricing is VERY competitive. Will update once our things arrive safe and sound. read more

I'll start with the good. They did a legitimately good job packing and moving our stuff for us. They are good at their jobs of packing stuff up, picking it up, and transporting it to another location. That's not be taken lightly, so I want to mention it first. However, the way they handle the tipping part of the transaction is shady and downright unethical. First off, they totally lied to both me and my fiance and said that the industry standard for tipping movers was 30%. If I were to tip them 30% on my end in one location, and then she tipped them 30% on her end in the other location, then they would've received a 60% tip!!!!!! Also, we're talking about an almost $2500 bill, so they were trying to get a $1500 tip from the two of us. I know you're thinking "well certainly they meant 30% combined", but that's not the way it was ever presented to me and my fiance. They wanted 30% from me at the pickup location and then another 30% from her at the drop off. It was ridiculous. They brought the subject of the tip up first and they kept bringing it up. In fact, the guy told me that if I took care of him and his guys with the 30% that he'd make up for it by claiming less boxes (we were using them through Unpakt) so that our bill from Unpakt would be lower. Absolutely, totally unethical. This happened several times. I didn't misunderstand him. He kept repeating it. If I tipped him and the crew well he was going to lie to Unpakt and say they picked up less furniture than they did. This ended up being a very frustrating experience. It felt like a shakedown for the tip and I will absolutely never use them to move anything again and recommend you find a company with better ethical practices too. Had they just came in and did their job and left, I would've tipped them the same amount that I gave them and left a 5 Star review. read more

Couldn't be happier with my experience. Movers were punctual, professional, communicative, and efficient. They worked quickly and showed great care for my belongings. I will 100% be using the company for future moves and highly recommend them to anybody looking for quality service a great price. read more

I'd give this place ZERO stars if i could. I love that they pay to take off negative reviews LOL Crooks...avoid this place at all costs. I hired 3 guys to move a one bedroom apartment. Not only did one guy move 5 boxes at a time the other two were "loading the truck" ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! The quote I got was $500 I ended up paying over $1200. They clearly took their time. They will take advantage of you and over charge you for everything. Don't trust this place they'll rip you off. They take advantage of people because they can. The meters is running, and keep in mind their use to moving college students. Hire a real moving company. read more

My husband and I used Braha moving systems booked through Unpakt. It was a one bedroom move, traveling approx 200 miles away. Due to our prior experiences with moving companies, we were extremely concerned about hidden fees (mandatory over priced tips), curb distance fees and packing material charges etc. However with Braha, what was quoted was exactly what was charged (NO B.S) and the industry standard 15-20% tip was optional, although highly encouraged. They did a fantastic job with the move and we were more than happy to tip for the exceptional service. I highly suggest using braha for your moving requirements and if need be, we will be using their services again. read more

Braha is the best moving company in nyc! They packed up my apartment at 119 st marks, moved my things into storage, and eventually moved me into my apartment in soho for a very reasonable price. They have a great team of people who work very fast and accommodated my schedule last minute. They are reliable and efficient which has made my multiple moves with them smooth and as least stressful as possible. Thank you Braha! read more

I hired Braha moving to move me from New Jersey to the Manhattan. I contacted Braha late on a Wednesday night via their online chat feature (it was probably around 11pm) and they sent me a quote while we were using the online chat and set the appointment up for that Sunday all over the chat. They called me the next day to confirm everything, I couldn't believe how quickly I was able to turn it around. I also used their Sofa Doctor Service. I was afraid that my couch was never going to look the same again after taking it apart but these guys know what they are doing and it looks like nothing every happened to it. It was a large, three seater couch with a sofa pull out. Taking the couch ended up being longer than they anticipated so the cost was higher than the original quote because they quoted me for 4 hours and it ended up being about 7 hours total. It was completely worth every penny and I appreciated that the movers took their time to make sure that the couch was back together properly and everything was in place where I wanted it. The total cost was a $1,124 that included a credit card processing fee, and the extra materials to protect my large decorative mirror, my TV and dresser. Extremely reasonable, with great customer service, and the movers were very nice. I plan to hire them when I move out of here. read more

Overall, had a good experience. I moved from Brooklyn to SF and the NY crew was great. Nice movers, very polite and considerate. Ksenia was also great and attentive. The SF crew was so-so. The foreman tried to charge me extra for not having an elevator, when I had already paid for that. I called Ksenia and got it straightened out. Furniture reassembly was lazy. Then at the end he loomed over me while I filled out the feedback form making it difficult to give honest feedback. read more

We used Braha about two years ago when we moved down to Florida. They were so fantastic we recommended them to the in-laws for their move down to Florida this year. They're incredibly professional, prompt and communicated everything so well. Nothing was missing on either move, no damage because they packed everything so well. They were courteous and careful with everything. The price was great for such great service. We would recommend them for any moves! Thank you so much for everything! read more

We just used Braha to move from a 2 bedroom apt from Harlem to Brooklyn, including their full packing service as well as couch doctor service. I initially found them through a well known website comparing moving companies, and they seemed to be the cheapest. After reading great reviews, I emailed back and forth with Ksenia, who was very professional and always responded quickly to my questions. We had a couple of moving companies coming to our apartment to give us a quote, and Braha ended up being indeed the most affordable. They also honored a discount that I had found on another website, so I really appreciated that. I also really liked the fact that they gave us a flat rate - they guaranteed no increase even if the move was going to take longer than expected. One less thing to worry about! Something that was definitely a big differentiator for us is that they have a couch doctor service. Our sofa is huge and needs to be taken apart, and it was great that we didn't have to call another company to do it. We were initially scheduled to do everything in one day (packing and moving), but a couple of days before they called me to let me know that it would be best if they came the day before to pack everything. And thank god they did, because our building has a 5pm cutoff for move ins and there is no way it would have been completed in time. They packed everything VERY thoroughly (maybe even a little too much, I think half the Amazon rainforest was decimated to produce that much wrapping paper), and nothing was broken or damaged. Took them just a few hours to pack everything, while it would have taken us days. Moving day went smoothly as well, and they moved everything within the time frame they were supposed to. We actually wish we had booked their unpacking service as well, because we ended up with far more boxes than we thought and so. much. wrapping. paper. So at the end of the day it's quite a miracle that a move went without a single issue, and we can only recommend them if you're reading this! read more

This is the worst moving company I have booked. They took my stuff 3 weeks back with the assurance that my stuff will reach between 3 to 12 business days. I have been keep calling them and asking them about the update but they every time give foolish reasons and don't give exact date when I will receive my stuff. Customer care is so pathetic that they don't have the correct information. I would recommend not to book this ever if you want to be safe. I am really worried for my household stuff that I am ever going to get it. I have been staying in hotel and spending out of my pocket. I am paying rent of the apartment as well where I am not staying since I don't have any stuff to live there. I think my food stuff is going to get spoiled which is with them for long time. read more

My girlfriend and I moved from NY to Chicago. We've lived in NY for 11 years and it was already an emotional move to detach from a city we knew so well. We wanted movers for sure. Neither of us had ever done an out of state move with movers before and were basically skeptical of everyone. Braha moving was awesome from start to finish. Nick was professional and extremely patient with both my girlfriend and I. The day of the move 3 men showed up. Andre and the other 2 (sorry I forgot their names) were very professional. We payed for an expedited service. So they picked our stuff up in NY, 2 days later it was in Chicago. After they picked everything up I remember the young guy who didn't speak English that well took the time to say good bye and shook my hand before leaving. I thought it was a nice touch. The whole time everyone was very careful with our stuff. More careful then I would have been honestly. When they showed up in Chicago there was a moment where it was kind of a tight situation driving the truck down the back alley to get to the rear entry, but they handled it like pros. It was so great to not have to worry about stuff like that. All and all we lost one plate but that was our fault for the way we packed it. Other then that everything was perfect. Andre was such a pro and so easy to talk to. He was basically the front man to talk thru any paperwork issues or discus any thing that was going to happen like putting the bed together etc. Im not sure what else to say about Braha other then I wish I could move every time with them. Fair price, great service, professional, patient, A++ read more

I would give these guys more stars if I could!!! I've lived in NY for many years and after 3 moves, I have NEVER come across a decent, professional and well-priced moving service. We moved from NY to Dallas this time (phew) and our experience with BRAHA has been amazing! They packed and moved our stuff. They were extremely professional, they gave us the best quote and then stuck to their estimate (which is SO rare). Nick was great to work with! On the day of the move, the team arrived early (again, that was quite impressive). Anatoli and his team were thorough, polite and very good at their work. All our stuff arrived as per the estimated time and in good condition. They even checked back after to see if everything was okay. There is absolutely no reason to not work with this moving company!! I would highly recommend them. I'm a delighted customer :) read more

I used Braha in June 2021 and had a great experience. They were extremely easy to work with & did a great job! I would recommend using them for any moving needs. read more

I called Braha about a week before I needed to move from NYC to Chicago. I was able to secure my preferred move date and receive a quote over the phone with Ksenia, confirmed via an email about 10 min later. The final price was reasonable and exactly as quoted. Sergey and Misha were extremely fast and professional when moving me out of my 5th floor walkup studio apt. It took about an hour and a half. My items arrived in Chicago in 3 days - before I arrived! Moving in was super easy as well. Customer service was always available and excellent. They worked with me when my building had limited elevator availability. I highly recommend Braha. read more

To begin, they sent three movers that we could not communicate with. Secondly they were rough with the furniture. Took chunks out of two solid pieces of furniture. They take no responsibility despite proof of insurance. Horrendous. Charged us for a ticket that they received from parking in a spot over the allotted time. The ticket was over 100.00. I do not recommend these thieves. !!!! read more

Really it's difficult for me to find a positive thing to say about my most recent experience based on the price. Here's a list of everything to look out for if you book thru this company: 1) they showed up 30 minutes before schedule without an advance call 2) they did not have good attitudes (looked sloppy/hungover; they had no uniform) 3) barely broke a sweat (had to move many boxes myself) 4) poor special awareness/organizational skills/leadership a) moving everything into hallway, blocking themselves in b) moved boxes into new place before couches, wasting time c) did not use assembly line method 5) does not provide good customer service--discussions with management were very difficult when trying to explain the situation. They do not care about their customers. I can't in good conscience give them a one-star because they did show up and they finished the job, albeit poorly (3 bedrooms took them 8 hours). read more
