We are moving and wanted to do a total clean-out of our house by donating everything. I had gotten estimates from seven movers. Even though Michael's (Consider It Junk) company was the second cheapest, I decided to hire him. The main reason was that I was impressed with the very young Michael starting his own company with his college friend, against uphill competition. I admire that in a person and want to give a fighting chance. Michael, Andrew, and the entire team were very respectful and friendly. It took two full days to remove everything from our large house. Michael donated 90% of the furniture to needy organizations, and he gave us an itemized list. His company was the only one willing to throw away our gas tanks and paints. The whole place was totally cleaned out, broom-swept, and left in immaculate condition. It was so beautiful that I wanted to buy back my own house :)) Call them. You will be happy you did!!! read more

BEWARE ALSO KNOWN AS CONSIDER IT MOVING I booked a pack and move with Michael who came on-site for estimate and I also sent photos afterwards. I got a verbal estimate, text message with pricing. The night before at 7pm I called to confirm as I hadn't gotten any notification. He said the project lead would be calling to confirm, later Markus called and confirmed for the next day between 9-10am. That morning Markus called to asked if everything was packed and ready to go, I explained I was paying for them to pack and move everything, he asked how many boxes he needed, I told him I don't know, I assumed Michael filled him in on the specs of the job to prepare. The team arrived on time close to 9am and began packing, I took my toddler to the new place to stay out of the way. Late afternoon they arrived at the new place, I let them in and went back to old place. I walked in, see a shoebox on my stove, it was a Givenchy shoebox from my bedroom closet. pieces of a broken jar of artichoke hearts along with my authenticity card were in it and on the floor my dish towel laying over remnants of the broken jar and artichokes. I understand things happen but to go all the way to my bedroom, take a designer shoebox to put some of the pieces in didn't make sense, especially since my bagless garbage can was was being used for trash by them all day, Markus had no explanation, anyway they had left the backyard items so I came back and told Markus and he sent 2 guys back to retrieve the items. When I came back to the new place I saw my mattress untaped on one side sitting in the dewy grass with a wet stain on the bottom and a dirt mark on the top. living room rug was not wrapped with anything at all and laying in the grass with dirt foot prints on it same with 2 other rugs. just found this to be disrespectful. I called Michael afterwards to voice my concerns. He kept saying "are you serious right now" dismissing my concerns. I hired them to make the move less stressful, instead created more work for me now had to clean my rugs and mattress and my designer shoebox is now garbage. He said "this isn't a big deal". he was defensive and irritated that I was telling him what I experienced instead of listening to understand what happened. I started to unpack, none of the boxes are labeled. The first had a live plant packed with kitchen items, dirt spilled all over, plant dead. another live plant in with my robes, dirt everywhere plant dead robes to be cleaned. In the next picture frames all tossed in unwrapped box not even sealed no glass had broken but a canvas one was scratched and gashed, ruined. Other items not packed well, a basket of blankets in the livingroom weren't put into a box/ bag they were put in the truck as is and must've fallen over as they arrived the top few unfolded and dirty. My travel bags and purses in a basket in my closet were also not boxed/bagged and the leather bag on top has several scratches now. furniture was mishandled- antique side table had its drawer handle broken off and has a deep scratch on it. velvet arm chair cushion has multiple scratches. buffet console's 2 center support legs are missing, despite asking several times where they put them as I have opened every box no response from anyone at CIM. I go back to the old place to clean up, notice items left behind, 1 full and 2 half cabinets, under sink items, shoes, a light and garage stuff. Markus had called asked how they could make this right. I asked for a partial refund to help me offset the expense of the damaged and missing items. He asked that I email which I did on 1/12, since then I have not heard from Michael or Markus despite my leaving numerous voicemails, texts and emails. I've attached photos I shared with Michael directly. Funny they advertise "if you use inexperienced movers that'll just put more work on you" boy that was totally the truth here, not only did Consider it Moving cost me over $1000 in damaged, broken and missing items but also cost me hours of my time in trying to clean, repair and replace the affected items. No, I would not recommend this company. Update 2/6 just realized my brand new computer monitor I had still in the packaging waiting to set up when I moved that was property of my employer is missing... more money I now need to lay out. I messaged Michael, of course no response and also left another voicemail for Markus. Overall I feel as though they took advantage of me as a single vulnerable mother, truly despicable. read more

Also known as Consider It Moving. BEWARE!!! Hired this company to move our belongs from our home into a POD unit so we could have our floors redone. Three guys showed up for the move, all in their personal vehicles, none wearing any sort of company uniform/shirts, and one of them reeking of weed (I say this as I question if he was too high to be moving my heavy, antique furniture). The three of them spent no less than 45 minutes trying to figure out how to get the fridge out the door. My contractor and I urged them to take the doors off - something I've seen other movers do many times. They didn't bring any tools with them so had to borrow a socket wrench and still couldn't figure out how to get them off. So they proceeded to shove it through the front door and completely ruin one of the door panels. We raised the issue to the owner immediately and we were assured we were going to be taken care of. They also laid an antique armoire on its side in the POD, which resulted in it getting cracked. Stupidly, we hired them to unload the POD as we were afraid they would try to dispute the damages if another company was used. The same crew shows up, again without any tools or dolly/hand truck. My beautiful floors, that were the whole reason we moved our stuff out, took a beating. I made the movers step out of my house mid-move as I had had enough. As I was on the phone with the owner trying to decide if we should continue, he tells me that they'll only be able to give us $100 for the damage to the fridge. They assured us during the first move that they had insurance but now when we've asked for that information, they refuse to provide it. They also had the nerve to walk back into my house and ask for $400 for their 38 minutes of work in which they caused over $1,000 in damages. They are now screening our calls and only answer when we call from a new number. Avoid this place at all costs! Something is fishy about their Google reviews... read more

I hired consider it moving for my move from S. merrick to Farmingdale. I had met with a man named Marcis who came to my home and gave me an estimate. I felt the price was reasonable and decided to go with them. The day of the move, they showed late. 4 men in cars showed up to my house. They got out of their blacked out tinted window Camaro, with lunch in one hand, energy drink in other. Cingaretts in their ears, one had a black eye and they were wearing wife beaters and Durags. Looked very unprofessional and like they were picked up from off the streets. They have NO moving materials with them such as wrap, boxes or moving blankets. I allowed them in my home and they were very confused as to where to begin. Telling me they couldn't take pieces out because they were too big. Huffing and puffing about the amount of furniture I had. Still NO MOVING TRUCK. I called Marcus to see where the moving truck is, he said he was working on getting it. I expressed my concern and confusion about the men in my home. The next thing I know one of the guys got a call from "Andrew" the owner of the company and told them to stop and leave and all 4 men walked off the job. Got in there car and peeled off in there doing 60mph down my block. They left me high and dry and made a mess in my home. Do not use this joke of a company!!!!!! Two weeks have gone by I am still getting no return call from the owner! They don't answer phone calls and it's funny how negative reviews that are placed that hidden or removed! Scammers !!!!!! beware They have a F rating with the BBB Do your research. read more

The movers scratched or damaged basically every item that was not in a box and many of the boxes were open or had holes in them including storage containers that were missing pieces of plastic, and flipped upside down. They had great google reviews and we've never had an experience like this before with movers so we're not sure if they were rushing (owner estimated 6 hours but they moved in 3) or we didn't get the best team because we were a small move (we only moved new/important items between apartments), but they didn't use any moving equipment (e.g., blankets, dolly) and were really careless. The owner blamed other movers and that his team does not operate like this, then offered to have a furniture expert come fix things. Most of our furniture was purchased in the past year, never been moved before and expensive. We offered to share receipts and any pictures we had to be transparent. We heard from a furniture expert a month ago and radio silent. Really disappointing experience and insane how one day can do so much damage to your things especially the new, expensive ones. If you use them... -take pictures of your items before they arrive -insist the owner/his main guy is there (neither did for our job and we called the office during the move with concerns but didn't hear back until the move was over) -they come prepared and wrap things in blankets -have friends/family supervise in your home and the truck -emphasize that speed is not important -look at everything before they leave We've never done this before, but will after this experience read more

I'll put it this way. If yelp gave more than 5 stars, I would give this company top rated stars possible. If there is anything you need to be removed that you think can't be handled, this team has you covered. I've come across other companies giving me a hard to time to remove furniture, trash and taking away appliances. But with no hesitation, this team was willing and ready to help me out no matter the size of the removal. They're on time and give great prices to the customers. Give them a call, you won't be disappointed. read more

Mike and Matt were great and cleared out my basement fast! The pricing was very reasonable and I'm happy I called!
