This is the 3rd time I have used Piece of Cake. They completed my move from lower Manhattan to…read moreCenter City Philadelphia this past week. They had seamlessly loaded the contents of my 650 square foot apartment including large/heavy fragile furniture with glass (8 foot tall dresser with mirror weighing 250 lbs, and 50 galloon reptile tank) in about 1 hour. We promptly left via car to meet them at our new address in Philly, and they arrived at exactly the same time as we did. They unloaded the truck in about an hour again, and helped partially unpack and put items in the proper places, especially the furniture that would have been hard for me to move on my own later. I will continue to use Piece of Cake, and have recommended to several friends over the years that I have been using them. It was quick working with the customer support team initially to quote the move, make payment, and on COIs and confirmation. When we move again in a couple years Piece of Cake will be the only mover I call. My recommendation to others considering the service, be transparent and honest about the contents of your move, especially items requiring extra protection even if there is an additional fee involved. There were no surprise add-ons in my move because we carefully selected every single item that would be included in our move early on in the process, and made sure to reply in detail to the follow up emails regarding insurance, access to the apartments (stairs vs elevator, reserved elevator, etc.), and so on move-in day everything went off without a hitch. Piece of Cake are professionals and we love the service.

I made several calls and even had another company try to undercut their price, but I'm truly glad I chose The Moving Genie. For just a few dollars more, placing value over price, the peace of mind was absolutely worth it. I hired them to move my belongings from one storage unit to another, and they exceeded my expectations in every way. I had tremendous anxiety about the move, but they immediately put me at ease. They arrived on time and I was impressed with the size of the truck they showed up with--so much so that others in the storage facility seemed impressed as well. They were able to complete the move in under three hours. The team was clean, polite, considerate, and professional. They handled my items with care, paid close attention to detail, and had all the appropriate equipment to facilitate the move. Zero stress. Zero issues. Just an excellent move from start to finish. I'm extremely satisfied with my experience and would confidently recommend The Moving Genie to others without hesitation. They're officially locked in my phone for any future moves.

Absolutely And Totally " BRILLIANT ! " This Company was…read more founded by two brothers named " Scott and Matt " , and they are very hardworking American. men ! The reason I'm bringing this up is simple. I'm English, with an English accent , and many people nowadays actually ask me what language I'm speaking, because they don't understand anything I'm saying, nor I them . With all the stress you have moving , you need to understand each other, especially if your objects are very precious to you , to how your articles should be handled, to asking them if they'd care for lunch, or if they'd just like a Margaritas . My moving men were Mike and C-Lo. WOW ! These lads knew what they were doing ! It was incredible ! Over 10 hrs they worked , and I mean WORKED, only taking 1/2 hr for lunch . I said they could take longer, but 30 minutes to the dot they were back on the clock . I paid for their lunch, which was not requested , but I insisted. It was the leas quite amazing how much junk one has, isn't it? Its amazing how much Junk you still wish to keep isn't it ! Mike and C-Lo packed, sorted, put Labels on everything, , then " Bubble wrapped all the " fine China, pictures, antique clocks from Great Britain, right down to me beautiful dancing shoes, plus pots , pans and the microwave oven . Even me " old George Foreman grill " was tucked away neatly . Me " Cutie Bears" books were heavy , but watching C-Low and Mike it seemed like it was nothing at all to them . We chitchatted with them the whole time whilst they were moving , about baseball, to how much they loved their job, and how they truly liked working for Matt and Scott. There's a change for sure. The last movers I had were muttering away in some language I didn't understand , but I could tell they hated their job . Moving is an art , very few people can do it well ! Then from our old place to moving to the " new place" it was one flight up. NO lift ( elevator ) , and it's 10 PM. Mike and C-Low didn't complain , nor did they stop working. They unloaded everything, PLUS PUT THE BED BACK TOGETHER , because I , yes lazy ME, was tired and wanted to LAY down! C-Low had another job to do the next morning, but stayed with us until every single box was unloaded and accounted for . How their women put up with their hrs. I have no idea. The owners were on the phones in their Office, and could be relied on , if we needed them. We didn't ! Moving is one of the most exhausting, and mentally draining activities people have to go through in their lives. YOU NEED THE RIGHT MOVERS, and I found them! They should put on their trucks " We AIM to Really Please ; and We Always Really Do ! Your girlfriends and wives will be 100% satisfied with our work , as We RISE to each and every occasion. " They never asked for a tip, but I gave each of them a $50 .00 ( American dollars , not 50 British shillings ), and I didn't think that was enough, thee way they worked. Both C-Low and Mike were very thankful . I told them to take their girlfriends out , but being in New York ,Long Island it might just cover enough for their petrol ( gas) and a Guinness. I had called very few other moving companies, but when I heard Scotts voice, yes HE answered the phone, no recorded message, I knew I hit the jackpot. He came by the next day , on a Sunday for a free estimate of cost . They are licensed and Bonded and may I add, really cool and Cute. Well, Cheers and GOD bless to everyone who reads this .

Summary: + good price…read more+ fast and overall fine service + overall nice workers - poor communication - some unprofessionalism - some damages I went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars, but ultimately landed on 3. I want to provide enough context so anyone considering Solidarity Movers can make an informed decision. Overall, this was one of the better moves I've had, but not one that warrants the 5-star reviews I see here. My husband and I moved from MA to NY due to family circumstances. The move was already stressful before it began, which is relevant because Solidarity was recommended by a friend who had a great experience with them. Given some poor experiences I've had with movers in the past, I felt confident choosing them. Unfortunately, things started off rocky. I completed a video walkthrough, received an initial quote, and then requested a revision. After that, communication stalled. Multiple follow-ups went unanswered, and I couldn't even get confirmation that my request was being worked on. After about a day of silence while other companies were responding consistently, I was ready to book elsewhere and left a review reflecting my experience. Within minutes, owner Zak called me. He was understanding, professional, and genuinely seemed to care about my concerns. Communication improved immediately, I received the revised quote, and their pricing felt fair, so I booked the move. A couple of weeks before the move, I reached out to confirm everything was still on track and asked about payment. I was told, in writing by Mike, that the remaining balance would be due "upon completion of your move." To me, that clearly meant after delivery. The move was scheduled for June 19 with overnight delivery on June 20. The crew was originally expected between 12 PM and 2 PM but arrived around 4 PM due to traffic. Traffic happens, and I had no issue with the delay itself. The crew was polite, worked efficiently, and seemed to handle our belongings with care. Unfortunately, this is where my experience started to decline. While packing, I overheard two crew members make a joke about my husband and me. It wasn't the worst thing I've ever heard, but it was disappointing to become the subject of a gay joke, especially from a company that publicly projects queer allyship. I chose not to make an issue of it, but another customer may have felt differently. Once loading was complete, the foreman informed me that the remaining balance was due immediately. This directly contradicted the written communication I had received. When I raised the issue, Mike acknowledged there had been a miscommunication but insisted I still had to pay on the spot. What made the interaction frustrating was how dismissive he came across. He stated this was standard procedure and said he would investigate the miscommunication, but unless there is another Mike, the miscommunication originated with him. Rather than create additional stress for myself, I paid the balance and moved on. To be clear, I still tipped the crew generously because they worked hard. By the end of the move, they had received $1,200 total in gratuity, or $400 per mover. The next day, delivery was delayed again due to traffic, but the unloading process itself was quick and organized. The crew followed instructions, reassembled our storage bed, and got everything into the house efficiently. After unloading, I was asked to sign paperwork stating everything had been delivered without damage. This struck me as odd because we hadn't unpacked a single box yet, so there was no realistic way to verify that. Like many people at the end of a move, I signed because I was exhausted and just wanted the process finished. While unpacking later, I discovered our $1,500 credenza had been damaged. Two interior shelves were broken, one completely split in half. Several glass items were also broken in transit. Nothing irreplaceable, but damage nonetheless. Could I file a claim? Sure. But after an already stressful interstate move, I don't have the time or energy to go through another lengthy process. Instead, I'm leaving this review so others can make an informed decision. Despite everything, I would still consider recommending Solidarity Movers, especially for a local move. The crew worked hard, and this was far from the worst moving experience I've had. However, the communication issues, payment confusion, dismissive handling of that confusion, inappropriate comment, and damage to our belongings prevent me from rating the experience higher. If you're reading reviews because you're planning a move and trying to make the best decision possible, I hope this helps. Wishing you the best of luck!
