So glad that I went with Intense Movers instead of some of the other more well-known companies…read more They were punctual, crew size was just right for a quick and efficient move, and their captain Lane was extremely friendly and professional. For reference, Intense Movers moved me from a 1 bedroom 4th floor walk-up to a 2 bedroom over 100 blocks away. They showed up promptly at 9am and were done by 1pm. None of my property was damaged and they left no mess behind. Also, it's great to support small and local businesses whenever possible. Highly recommend.

I chose Intense Movers for my move because everyone on Reddit raved about them. I wish I hadn't…read morelistened to them. I did think it was a bit strange that everything was done via email and there's really no other way of contacting them. That said, they were extremely responsive to email, which was fine. The movers themselves were personable and worked efficiently throughout the process, which I appreciated. Beyond that - there were issues. Firstly, the team arrived about 20 minutes late. I did appreciate the heads-up text, but on one of the most stressful days of your life, it's worth noting - especially as it was early in the morning. More importantly, I was under the impression that loading the truck was part of the service I hired Intense Movers to provide. Nope. Instead, that responsibility was completely handed off to my partner, who stayed with the truck while the movers brought items down for him to load. There was no discussion about this. In fact, it was initially suggested that I use only 2 movers but I requested another to be more efficient. I didn't realize that they assumed my partner was an unpaid 4th. Items with "this side up" stickers were completely disregarded. They brought everything down however they wanted to and handed them off to my partner however was most convenient for them. Also, a couple of guys who were not part of the moving team entered my apartment unannounced, to say hello to the movers. They did not clearly identify themselves, though it seemed like they may have been affiliated with the company. Regardless, having strangers invite themselves into my apartment during the move was pretty inappropriate. Lastly, when it came time for payment, you can only pay by cash or Zelle - which, to me, is sketchy AF. I had planned to send it via Zelle to their company account as instructed. However, the lead mover was insistent that I send the payment directly to him instead, saying he needed to pay his workers immediately. He was so insistent about it that it made me feel really uneasy. In the end, if I could do it all over - I definitely would have chosen someone else who was more professional.

I've worked with Cool Hand 3 or 4 times now, but this was the first time I opted into having them…read morepack for me. It's the best decision I could have made, honestly I only wish I also opted into the unpacking. The team was so kind and efficient- it was below freezing out with mounds of snow everywhere but it didn't slow them down.

I've used Cool Hand three times and my sister once since 2019: NYC to central Jersey, central Jersey to Jersey City, Jersey City to Jersey City, and north Jersey to Boston. During my latest move, they worked with me as I ran into several delays that impacted my move date. I'd highly recommend them. I always pack my own boxes, so I cannot comment on their packing. But when moving, they work carefully and are respectful. I don't plan to move again, but, if I do, I'll use Cool Hand!

We really liked working with the owner and really liked the gentlemen who actually moved us.

They were easy and flexible on scheduling and totally reasonable on price 2. They are fast and efficient on move day! The first time I moved it was snowing and they brought a shovel, dug out my walkway. The second time was a torrential rain day, they wrapped all furniture in plastic to keep it dry. I have heard of movers going slow to add extra time but these guys bust their asses and get the move done as quickly as possible. Super impressed! Total pros, and I will definitely use them for my future moves!

Prices were incredibly reasonable and they wrapped all the furniture really well. They were also super chill about us adding in extra stuff (we tipped them extra for that). Team were all super nice. They were able to pick everything up at my sisters place, stop by my place to pick up all of my stuff, and unload everything at our new place in 3 hours. Incredible work!

Fidelity Transportation moved my husband and I Wednesday April 1st from a one bedroom second floor…read moreapartment to another one bedroom second floor apartment a short distance away. The whole process was smooth, and stress free. I messaged Fidelity on Thumbtack to get an estimate. They provided an unbelievably fair price and an early start time. They were also very responsive when I checked in to make sure we were still on for the move in day. On the move in day they were ON TIME. Yes you read that ON TIME. They called ahead to give us a heads up that they would be arriving soon. The three men arrived ready to work. They wrapped everything very professionally and quickly. I was so worried about my IKEA furniture not being able to survive a move, but it did. Everything was loaded onto the truck within an hour and a half and unloaded within an hour an a half. My furniture was just as perfect in my new home as it was in the previous. Nothing scratched, broken, or torn! Honestly, I will never support anyone moving themselves again and will only refer my friends to Fidelity. Who can deal with all that hustle and bustle? Fidelity was quick, efficient, pleasant men who got the job done without any issues. Their prices were fair and reasonable. If for whatever reason I have to move again, they will definitely have a return customer in me!
