I literally made a Yelp account for the sole purpose of giving these guys a glowing review. Moving is so stressful, but I immediately felt like I was in good hands when they showed up to grab my stuff. They worked like machines -- just two movers were able to get a big dresser, desk/bookshelf, chair, mattress, mirror, and ~10 boxes/bags of varying sizes and fragilities across Brooklyn within two hours. I know they would've moved even more items I hadn't planned to take, with similar timing. They wrapped and protected my prized dresser and even moved two large plants for me without a single leaf lost! I was truly amazed at the speed, efficiency, and care they showed throughout the move. I would absolutely use their services again and will tell my friends (and everyone I meet) to use them for their next NYC move. I'm currently sitting in my new apartment feeling so much lighter because of how easy this experience was. The Chinese Mover "branding" may seem a little sketch compared to the big names, but in NYC especially, the best companies are often no-nonsense operations without flashy websites or marketing. These guys are absolute proof of that -- they're the real deal, and bonus: they're significantly cheaper. Thank you Chinese Mover!! read more

Superb pricing, value and customer service over multiple years (nearly a decade) and multiple cross city moves

Excellent service; Andy was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. The moving crew arrived on-time and were careful with my belongings. I would highly recommend this team. read more

I had no idea what to expect. Typically when you make a move, you look for a big brand name for Security and experience. I decided to use their services, and I was impressed on many levels. First, they treat your furniture with care and move fast. They move pieces where large movers would take apart to waste more time and spend your hard-earned money. Instead, the services provided by the Chinese movers are fast, safe, and reliable. Andy, the owner, is one of the most excellent guys to deal with. He works with your situation and ensures that the job is done right. Unbelievable service, and I highly recommend it! I've used many benefits in the past, and by far this service is outstanding. Don't make a mistake and pay large amounts of money to move. Use the Chinese movers. Hey is done right!!! read more

Buyer Beware. I used Andy's several times in my 20s for simple one bedroom moves which were been efficient and cheap. I made the huge mistake of using them again in February 2022 for a two bedroom move with a family and kid. Movers showed up late and behind schedule and then tried to upcharge me (similar to other reviews) for having "too much stuff." I guess most people acquiesce to the upcharges because it's not worth the hassle once the movers have already showed up and you have taken a day off from work, etc. (and that's how they get you!). I instead showed them my email listing all the stuff we had to move and told them I expected to be moved at the agreed price. The movers refused to move us and left because they "didn't have enough time". Bottom line - if you're a 20 something moving a bed and some boxes, go ahead and use these guys. But if you need an "adult move", pay up and go with a reputable company. read more

My daughter has used Chinese Movers 4X's!!! The first time was 4th floor walk up! These guys are AMAZING! Excellent price, on time, professional, and FAST! Highly recommend. read more

We used Chinese Movers for our move from NYC to CT in March 2021 and absolutely loved working with them. Booking them was extremely easy - almost too easy. There was no official quote and confirmation process, so I was nervous that these guys wouldn't show up. They showed up early and loaded all of our stuff in less than 2 hours. They got to our house, took a lunch break and unloaded everything even quicker. We only had one mishap where the bottom of our foam mattress got caught on something and it ripped. We were able to fix it with some duct tape. Everything else arrived wrapped and without a scratch. The two guys that Andy sent were very friendly and efficient. Their English wasn't great, but they know enough to speak to my fiancé, who does not speak Chinese. I spoke to them in Cantonese. They were more comfortable with me and even told a few jokes at my expense. One piece of advice - Make sure you give Andy a FULL list of items to be moved. Like with any other moving company, moving extra items will cost you. read more

After our previous move, we used these guys again for our move to our new apartment. Once again, extremely efficient, no-nonsense, and speedy. They managed to get all of our things (1BR, dining, living, kitchen, loft) tetrised into their truck and on the way quickly. As with the previous time, we paid cash, and we gave them a big tip for good service. I recommend these guys to my friends all the time. read more

They were exceptional! I requested a quote through Yelp and since that time, Andy was very responsive to all of my questions and emails. The quote he gave was very reasonable and he provided us with COIs quickly as well. On the day of the move, the three movers arrived on time and worked very fast. They wore masks the entire time. There were some unexpected delays with the elevator of my building since 2/3 of the elevators were nonfunctional on the day of our move, but movers took it all in stride. Moving is always stressful but these guys definitely made the day easier for us. Just remember to have cash payment on hand the day of since they do not accept any other forms or payment. I only knew this from reading yelp reviews. read more

The Chinese Movers Team were GREAT!!! They came early and went straight to work. They disassembled all our furniture and fit everything in the truck. When they got to the new house they assembled everything back and placed it were we wanted the furniture. Great Team. Very reliable and fast. We had so much furniture they did two trips and no complaints from the team. Best movers, nice and efficient. Thank you Chinese Movers! If I ever move again, I will call them hands down. The BEST Moving company. read more

Great service. Friendly. They moved all my stuff at a fraction of the price of other movers.

Contacted Andy to inquire about a quote and was promised for an agreed quote amount and booked the dates. Two guys shown up on moving day with a smaller truck around 850am. Took them over 3 hours to pack into this smaller truck which the condo manager called me 4x times they are still holding up the moving elevator until 1-1:30pm. Took them after 2:30pm to show up at our new place which we waited. We have moved 40% our stuffs ourselves and was promised to get my quote amount lowered, but ended up paying same quote amount and was asked for a higher tip (which I gave them 20% tip- which we can give them none). The taller guy seems nicer, but he used dolly to move 3 boxes at each up to move up the stair which ruined our steps. We have quite a few items such as dining table, shelf, bed frames, etc were damaged with no compensation even contacted Andy. Disappointed and regretted. Will not recommend and will not use them at all. read more

Great people . Fast and reliable Came through with the cheapest price and no hassles no headaches Trust these people the best thanks Chinese movers read more

These guys were so great! I never write reviews but Chinese movers made my interstate move from PA to NY so easy and efficient. They're super reasonably priced. I'll definitely be asking them to move in the future again! read more

Fantastic experience with this company. The main manager/owner speaks English and booked everything the way we wanted. You have to be specific with the # of furniture pieces and # of boxes as they quote you based on that ( we went over our estimate and spoke to the manager the morning of the move to notify him, the price was very reasonably adjusted according to the new #). The movers were an hour late however we're incredibly efficient and fast while still being careful. They moved a couple of glass tables and a tv with no issues. Any furniture that required disassembly to put into the truck was reassembled upon delivery in the location I wanted it. While the actual movers did not speak English, there were no major issues, we were able to point where things should go or what things needed to be moved ( google translate app also came in handy). read more

We just moved 30 minutes ago, and I feel compelled to leave a review already. I can't speak highly enough of Andy and his two colleagues, who were incredibly fast, efficient, strong and conscientious about taking great care with our things. They came with tools, blankets, an industrial size roll of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and dollies and hand-trucks-- in short, everything professionals need to move people from one home to another. They were on time (and texted us 10 minutes before they arrived), and placed everything where we asked them to! The unbelievable part was the price-- a mere, small percentage of anything anyone else quoted us. We tipped generously, of course, as was well- deserved! We hope to NEVER move again, but if we had to, we'd use them all over! We highly recommend them. read more

I used this company 7 years ago when I bought my first home and they were great. Fast, friendly, efficient and honest. I recently moved out of that same house and to my shame I got sucked in by a scam moving company called "Call My Mover" (which has the same owner as "Tri-State Area Moving & Storage Corp.") who literally extorted me. As in they packed up only half my house and then demanded an unreasonable sum of money to drop my stuff off. So there I am, hat in hand, with half my stuff in the house and the closing the next day. Chinese Movers SAVED me. I called them last minute and they showed up the next morning, first thing and even 30 minutes early. They packed their truck up with all my remaining possessions in under 2 hours and when they dropped it off that day, I swear it was like lightening. I think they had the truck unloaded in like 15 minutes. These guys really saved my butt and writing this review is the least I can do for them. read more

On time and great service. Moved my one bedroom to a storage unit and then the storage unit to my final place in another day. Cheaper than piece of cake, but make sure to count your stuff! Boxes and luggage all count read more

Heard about this company through Yelp (thanks, Yelpers!). Booked the Chinese Movers to move furniture from my office in Sunset Park and my studio apartment to my new apartment down the block. The movers were extremely efficient--both locations took 3 hours total, and it would've been shorter if my office building's loading dock had told the movers where to park ahead of time, which added another 30 minutes, but Andy and his team were patient. They were respectful and careful with my belongings, and professional. I was very happy with their service and would definitely hire them again. I also picked them because they were in my budget. Highly recommend!! read more

Chinese Movers moved me on new years day this year. This is the second time I hired them--the first time was in 2014, when I saw their truck in the neighborhood where I lived and gave them a call. Both times they were on time, extremely efficient, easy to communicate with, and definitely worth the price. They also moved my former roommate four times, and I was there for all of the moves--they were consistent with my experiences for him. I highly recommend them, and will continue to have them move me in the future when I have the misfortune of having to pack up all my stuff once again. read more

This is the third time that I have used Chinese Movers and it was a great experience. I scheduled through Andy, who was super responsive and very patient with all of the requirements from the management company at our new apartment. On the day of our move, the crew arrived on time and didn't stop working for almost four hours, until the job was done. They both wore their masks the entire time. We have a table and a painting that they weren't expecting -- apparently I'd left those off the list of items to move -- so they charged us a bit more but they let us know before they started and the price was still very fair. Chinese Movers is an incredible value -- they were more responsive and efficient than other movers who cost almost twice as much. Really glad we found them. read more

Very efficient, nice, and professional. I was moving from my fourth-floor walk-up in LES to a second-floor walk-up in UES with little furniture and many boxes. They charged me $425, and then $100 for dumping a boxspring and bed frame, since my building would've also charged me anyway. Would use them again. Recommended! read more

Wilson and his crew were very polite, they took very good care of our furniture and other items. We received great service and would recommend and use this company once again. They came on time, they packed up my things very fast and neatly, nothing was lost or damaged it was great. The quote I received from this company was the best one and they helped way more than we could have ever asked for. Thank you Chinese Movers. read more

Best movers I've worked with! They were super nice and efficient. No issues at all. They moved all of my things with respect and care. Would definitely hire them again! read more

We just did a move with these guys yesterday from Williamsburg to Jackson Heights. It went smoothly. They called ahead of time to give us a heads up that they were running half an hour late, which only gave us a bit more time to pack some loose items. They arrived with 3 guys, one started wrapping our 'soft' furniture with shrink wrap, one helped take down our apartment door (swung in the way of moving) and the third guy was moving boxes. So yes, there was no one in the truck so my husband and I took turns to keep a lookout throughout the move. We were expecting that they would pad all our furniture but they didn't so you'll have to point to the ones you cared most about otherwise it's shrinkwrap or no cover at all. There were a few items I asked to be shrinkwrapped - a sofa backrest and bench cushion but they insisted it'll be fine in the open bin. I wound up wrapping them myself along with a few white shell and leather chairs. I'm glad I did coz some things left unwrapped had dust smears (no biggie). Like I said, if you care about it, you'll have to chip in a wrap a few things. It had snowed so cover your floors if you don't want them wet. We did that at the new place, not with the old one - I have yet to go back and clean those floors. Overall, a great experience. They were careful with our things. We had 2 couches, 2 tv consoles (100 & 200lbs), bed, gigantic speakers, a number of other pieces of furniture and 40+ boxes. All moved for about $200-500 less than what other movers quoted. That plus they're flat rate yet super fast. Finished the move in 4 hours, including the 40 mins worth of stupid traffic on the BQE. Fantastic value. Great service. We'll definitely be customers again. read more

I called for a quote, was given a quote similar to other moving companies. One of the partners in this outfit showed up shortly after to verify my needs and agreed that the original quote was accurate, even gave me 25 bucks off. Awesome, book me up. Moving day comes and the movers show up on time which is awesome. They worked hard and fast (3 Fl walkup is not easy). We're on our way to my new apartment! When we get there there's a complication there are stairs that they need to go up in an elevator building. They say they have never encountered this before and there will be an extra charge. With all my belongings locked in their truck, they begin negotiating with me on the street on how much more I would pay, they start at 30% more than the original quote before tip, (which is still on me. Great thanks!) As a side note, it is fucking awesome to have to negotiate with 3 guys on the side of the street while looking at a truck full of all your belongings. What's going to happen next if I don't agree to your demands? Fucking people. I didn't have a great time. Moving sucks. I'd love to move across the city through traffic to a street with no parking for the moving truck, said nobody ever. There were complications to be sure, I should of stated up front that there would be an additional set of stairs to go up at the new apartment and part of that is on me. The movers did a fine job and mostly got everything there in one piece. Moving fucking sucks, its hectic, stressful and expensive. PS. After writing this wall of text I read a comment from Ray B. I feel you man, same exact thing happened to me. God damn I hope I never have to move again. I'd sooner donate all my junk to charity than have to move it all again. read more

I was looking around for a fairly priced company and I wasn't very successful until my friend recommended Chinese Movers. She used them and said they were great. I called and got a quote and it was much more fair in my opinion. The day of the move, 3 men came and dismantled everything and swiftly moved everything out of my apt. When they arrived at the house, they reassembled and place things were I need them to go. The moving experience with them was seamless and headache free. They only thing I would complain about is that they didn't tell me Bridge Toll was not included. I assumed it was since I gave them the address before receiving a quote. read more

The movers were very protective of the furniture. Just make sure you clearly inform them what you want she might get overcharged. But otherwise they were good movers and did a good job read more

A traumatic experience. I have moved in NYC for twice before, and these movers are arguably the worst I ever came across. Response is quick! Price is fair. But these are the only good things I can say about them. Maybe we just came across some bad movers. They act like spoiled kids and are very slow doing their work. We scheduled a moving at 8:30 a.m. on June.30. The movers were late for 8 minutes with iced tea in their hands. They did not apologize at all for the lateness. We have more stuff than what we described when we asked for the quote, but not that much. (The quoted price was $725, and eventually the price rose, not unfairly, to $800.) I think this is not an uncommon scenario, but the two movers were COMPLAINING ALL THE TIME how much more stuff they ended up moving. They were literally complaining in our face! They were also VERY SLOW compared to other movers we had experienced before. They are just barely as strong as an average healthy grown man. Honestly, many of our male friends would have been stronger and faster than them. As they moved so slowly and complained so much, we ended up HELPING THEM MOVE. When we proposed that we could help them move some stuff, they accepted that as if it they were entitled to it! After the moving, we were ourselves physically exhausted. Some other details to illustrate just how annoying they are. When we counted stuff, we regarded a small window AC as a case. They complained that it was too heavy for a case. When traveling to the new apartment, they asked us to take subways on our own because their truck can not fit 4 people; we took subways and showed up 30 minutes later than them. When we arrived, they were sitting smoking cigarettes at the doorstep and complained that we were too late. Our new apartment is on the ground floor and we said there would be no steps at the new apartment. It actually does have 3-4 shallow steps (each about 8 centimeters high) at the doorway. Because of that, they accused that we cheated. They also broke a nice hat rack I have. They DID NOT APOLOGIZE at all, and instead they commented that my hat rack was of low quality in the first place. I understand that things could get broken during a moving, but hey, at least express that you are SORRY, okay? To conclude this marvelous moving experience, they pushed for a tip when we didn't leave them. I angrily refused, which is something I'd never regret. read more

Professional, on time, low rate. Keep in mind they only have plastic wrap and blankets so you should prepare your fragile as extra caution.

Unfortunately, my experience with Chinese Movers was awful. Being that I had no furniture (other than a small desk) to move and the job took less than one hour, I was still overcharged after we had already settled on a price. We agreed via text for the amount of things I had on $200. When here, they changed it to $300 and when that was given, they aggressively hounded us for a tip. The one piece of furniture I did have, a small desk, was scratched up so badly that my paint is still chipping all over, despite the fact that there were no marks on it prior to the move. Altogether, they did not keep their deal and were extremely rude. I was very excited to use them! I am saddened that it did not work out smoothly. I hope others have a better experience. Additionally, the movers complained throughout the move saying how heavy the boxes were (well that was why I hired movers and spent a lot of money doing so!) Three movers there and only one ever moved anything. Best of luck if you do use them! Oh, and they also threatened to leave with all of my belongings in the truck if I did not pay $100 more than originally agreed upon (plus tip). I even overestimated on the number of boxes that I had. I ended up having less and it was a quick job! read more

The movers were really nice and quick. They showed up on time and all were wearing masks. I live on a 4th floor walk up and the stairs are really steep. They were able to bring everything down in around 2.5 hours. I highly recommend using them! read more

Chinese Movers - Moving van - Movers Near Me

DO NOT USE THESE UNPROFESSIONAL NIGHTMARE MOVERS. We booked them two months ago and they just showed up and saw what they had to move and left. I have never in my life experienced such laziness and utter unprofessionalism. I am 8 months pregnant and now completely left in the lurch by this dreadful company. DO NOT USE IF YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY GET YOUR MOVE DONE. INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I used CM twice several years ago. The first time I chose a flat rate, and the second time an hourly rate. Even though I had more stuff the second move, I saved hundreds of dollars compared to the flat rate move. If you're the type of mover that pre-boxes/pre-disassembles everything for a quick and easy move, there's no reason to request a flat rate. In fact, the movers did such a quick job on my second move, they all took a break literally after 15 minutes on the job to run the clock. Obviously, they didn't take any breaks during the flat rate move. That didn't sit well with me, but what can you do. They broke a piece of Ikea furniture on the second move as well, but that's to be expected. I guess that says something of the moving experience in NYC. read more

Just used them for a move today 7/5/22. They're extremely professional, friendly, quick and so great at what they do!! They take good care of your items and are definitely reasonably priced!! Forget about these big name moving companies and use them! Highly recommended! read more

Super efficient and responsive. Moved my studio apartment from LES to Sunnyside in under 2 hours. Highly recommend!

Andy was super responsive with me. Him and the other two guys were so quick and concise with moving all our furniture. They were super helpful and did not damage anything. I will definitely be using them again if we move in the future. Very fair price. read more
