Our experience with Amplified Moving was an absolute disaster, and I would strongly caution anyone…read moreagainst trusting this company with their belongings. We were quoted a little over $500 for a three-hour, two-person move. We fully disclosed our inventory in advance, including our king mattress and the weight of our adjustable base. We specifically asked whether additional movers would be necessary and were assured that two movers would be more than sufficient. The move ultimately took approximately 10 hours instead of the quoted three, and our final payment exceeded $1,300--more than double the original estimate. This was not a minor miscalculation or a reasonable overage. The move took more than three times as long as represented. The first crew handled our belongings extremely poorly. They initially refused to bring our king mattress and adjustable base upstairs, even though both items had been fully disclosed before the move. The mattress was only brought upstairs after we insisted that the job was not complete without our bed in the bedroom, particularly because it was our only place to sleep that night. Amplified later sent a second two-person crew, and those two movers handled the adjustable base without difficulty. That made it clear that the issue was not simply the number of movers. It was the preparation, execution, and competence of the original crew assigned to our move. After unpacking and inspecting our belongings, we discovered damage to nearly all of our furniture. Two of our three televisions were also damaged, in addition to damage to our flooring and a curtain rod. This was not one isolated accident or normal wear associated with moving. The damage was widespread and affected a substantial portion of our belongings and home. When I spoke directly with Patrick, the owner, he was rude, dismissive, and refused to take meaningful ownership of what happened. He suggested that we needed to make "compromises" in order to be happy. When I directly called out how poorly the move had been handled, Patrick then accused me of being rude. Is that really how an owner speaks to a customer whose three-hour move turned into a 10-hour ordeal, whose bill more than doubled, and whose furniture, televisions, and home were extensively damaged? Holding a company accountable for its own failures is not being rude. Customers should not be expected to stay quiet or "compromise" when their belongings are damaged, major disclosed items are initially refused, the estimate is wildly inaccurate, and the owner responds defensively rather than professionally. Amplified Moving turned a quoted three-hour move into a 10-hour ordeal, charged us more than twice the original estimate, damaged nearly all of our furniture, damaged two of our three televisions, caused property damage, and then blamed and insulted the customer for raising legitimate concerns. This was one of the worst service experiences we have ever had. I would not recommend Amplified Moving under any circumstances.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. WOULD GIVE 0 STARS IF THAT WAS AN OPTION. Here is my story. I know…read moreit is a little long: My daughter was planning a move, sell her house and purchase another, three young kids, school teacher, very stressful. You get the picture. I told her that I would handle the movers for her. I called Amplified Moving and was greeted quite pleasantly by the "owner" Patrick. Every time I spoke to him, he told me that he was the "owner". We set up a moving date almost a month in advance so that we could be the first move in the morning. I sent them my $100 deposit because he said that that would guarantee my early move since the end of the month gets busy. Since I had not heard from them again, I called the day before the move, February 26 to see what time to expect them to arrive. I was told between 8 and 10am. So, of course, we are there waiting for them from 8am. At 9:30 I get a call from Patrick "the owner" letting me know that it is his fault that the driver had not left yet because he kept them in a staff meeting too long. They were traveling from Saddle Brook to Rockaway, so we should expect them in about 45 minutes. OK. An hour and a half later, the driver calls me to let me know that he needs another 25 minutes. They show up at 11:55, almost 2 hours late. Now I put a call into Patrick "the owner" and guess what, he can't come to the phone because he is at an event. I will try to post his text messages to me at the end. But pretty much told me that he would make it right with a discount at the end. He would be able to talk after 2pm. Driver comes in and hands me 4 pieces of paper to sign and initial. I told him I would after I had a chance to read them. He says ok and just askes me to write down the start time of 11:55. This paper also tells you that they do not accept checks, will take a credit or debit card but there is a 3% fee, zell or cash. It also recommends that you have food and water for the movers and that you pay them a 20% gratuity, but not required. Fast forward to 6:00 when the move is finished. The driver send the hours to the office and then shows me an invoice over $300 more than the estimate. I told him I would pay once I had a chance to talk to Patrick "the owner", regarding the discount, but the driver was not leaving without getting paid. I called the office and got an answering machine. The driver called and got "the owner's" wife on the phone who made sure she told me she was "the owner's wife". She was working from home. OK I could hear the tv and the kids in the background. She had no idea why she was speaking to me other than I was not happy with the bill. When I tried to explain it to her, probably sounding a little agitated, she pretty much told me that I shouldn't be speaking to her like that. Me not liking her tone told her that I was probably old enough to be her mother and didn't like the way I was being treated. She then told me that I signed for the hours that the workers were there and I told her I hadn't signed anything. The driver had put the start time as 11:15. Her response was why not. She put us on hold to call her husband, Patrick "the owner". Patrick's wife had recorded or conversation, played it to Patrick who called me on my cell phone. Patrick right away took a negative tone with me. To paraphrase, he told me that he was going to talk and that I was going to listen. He told me I had no right bringing up his wife's age. When I interrupted him, he told me that he was not done yet. Now becoming even more angry, I told him that was not going to pay until we got the amount straight. With that he threatened to have the Police come to my house as he does with all people like me. I responded "go ahead". Now Patrick acknowledges that the drive put down the wrong time, adjusts the bill and supposedly takes off an hour to bring the bill down close to what the estimate was. Gave some other kind of discount but I was so angry that I didn't even hear what he said. I repeated the amount so that his driver would hear and then hung up. We paid the amount he said and WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE. Also Patrick, If you read this review, keep in mind that it is illegal to record someone without telling them that they are being recorded.

After seeing some of the negative reviews on here, I feel compelled to share my experience with…read moreTiger Moving, because I thought they were awesome. We are renovating our home and needed to send our large items to storage and the rest of the contents of our home into a POD on our property. When the movers arrived, the POD wasn't there yet, so they actually ended up moving those items twice with zero complaints. It was a Saturday, and they sent 4 guys (after reading some reviews there is no doubt, this was the A team). They thoroughly wrapped and handled all of our furniture perfectly, and we have some HUGE pieces. No complaints. They were professional and personable. I won't deny that we got the B team for the move back, and I only say that because they did a fair share of complaining (amongst themselves), but they still did a fantastic job. We weren't quite ready for some of the pieces and they were nice enough to leave them wrapped in the moving pads so that they are protected from our ongoing construction. They kindly put everything where I asked them to and nothing was damaged. Dina in the office was awesome. Always responsive and helpful. I would 100% recommend Tiger Moving.
