    tldr: valuable items we packed ourselves, worth over $2000 missing after move and we can't even file a police report. Warning to anyone considering this company. They quoted 30 boxes after reviewing photographs of our entire apartment. We then packed half ourselves to protect valuables -- yet they somehow packed far more than 30 boxes from the remaining half. Why? They pack deliberately loose to inflate box count, since they're paid per box. They even boxed furniture items like an air purifier and plastic drawers. It gets worse. The mover offered to not report the inflated box count to the company -- if we tipped him extra. We declined, and the company tried to charge us hundreds of dollars. When we threatened to audit every box for loose packing, they waived the charges. When our belongings came out of storage, we found: damaged furniture, a scratched door handle, broken items, and incomplete packing. Their "unpacking service" meant dumping everything on countertops. Most seriously: multiple valuable items we packed ourselves -- perfume, makeup, a designer bag, and cash -- went missing from boxes we personally packed. We did not expect packers to go through boxes we packed ourselves. And after we raised this, we discovered something far worse -- contracts in our file with signatures we never provided, identical to their own representative's signature on the same documents. This appears to be a pattern: other customers online describe nearly identical experiences, including forged signatures and extortion attempts during their moves. Due to the move crossing state lines (NYC to NJ), we have been unable to file a police report. If you value anything you own, do not use them.

    Rati and Giorgi at Dumbo Moving & Storage are the real deal. Detail-obsessed, easy to reach, zero hassle start to finish. Every piece got wrapped like it mattered and they broke down my bed frame and rebuilt it in the new place without me lifting a finger. Everything arrived in perfect shape. These guys are the best across the board, and genuinely fun to talk to on top of it. If you're moving in NYC, book them.

    This was the most unprofessional and worst moving experience we have ever had. First, we booked for a packing and moving service and had asked for a pre-move walk through to prevent any day-of hiccups or unforeseen charges, which they never did. Secondly, we were told the entire service would take a few hours but after a 7am arrival, the move was still going on at midnight. We had to scramble at the last min to find accommodations for us and our kids because they didn't finish when they said they would. They suddenly said all of our items wouldn't fit into the truck they brought, and that was another excuse to tack on fees. They charged us several additional fees actually. They tried to make a deal with us directly, so it wouldn't go back to the office and official channels, which seemed like a total scam. The movers packed our items super unprofessionally: -kitchen knives were thrown into boxes with our daughter's stuffed animals. -casserole dishes and pans were stacked on top of each other without being individually wrapped. -our clothes were thrown on hangers tangled into boxes and not hung into wardrobe boxes. -our items had mud on them. -our plants were snapped in half when we unwrapped them. At one point, they realized they had forgotten their tool kit at our old apt and couldn't rebuild our bed at the new apartment and asked US to Uber there to pick it up. When they were "done", we went back to our old place, and there were entire cabinets that were still full, and empty soda and trash disrespectfully strewn about on the floor. Worst of all --some of our items were missing such as small electronics and a bracelet. We later learned from our neighbors that they had to also file a criminal complaint with the police after their DUMBO move had resulted in missing jewelry. We submitted an official complaint to DUMBO after the fact, and tried to get some money back, but they gave us pennies compared to the total cost. STAY AWAY!!

    Dumbo Moving arrived so late that I had to load the majority of my items into the U-Haul myself. This move was the most stressed and sore I've been in a very long time because of the incompetence and misinformation of Dumbo Moving. They quoted 2 men for 3 hours with a 9-11am arrival window. The crew did not arrive until 3:30 PM. At no point did they contact me to warn me about the extreme delay. I had to call them 6 times the day of the move and each time they stated an arrival time that ended up being false. Their delay then caused me to drive the U-Haul in rush hour NYC traffic, adding more hours to my 5 hour trip. To add insult to injury, they required full payment in advance of my move. I am admittedly an idiot for paying upfront but at least I have learned my lesson for next time. Lastly, their representatives were unprofessional. Here is a list of some of the interactions I had on the day of the move: -The man who initially answered the phone one of the times told me a 1pm arrival and then proceeded to tell me "I don't need this" when I said that they quoted me 9-11 and that 1pm was unacceptable. He sent me to Dave who then told me they would be there at 12. (Which was false given they actually arrived at 3:30) -I got hung up on when I checked in at 1:00. -At 2:08 the dispatcher said they would call the crew to check the arrival time and then call me back. You guessed it, they never called me back.

    Everything carefully packed

The two movers arrived exactly at the scheduled time listed in my agreement. They were friendly, professional, highly skilled, and incredibly efficient. I unexpectedly needed a few additional items boxed on moving day, and they handled everything without hesitation. Every item was packed and transported with great care. Nothing was broken, damaged, or missing. The move into my new space was just as smooth as the move out of my old one. They carefully followed all of the building's rules for elevator use, placed furniture exactly where I requested, and neatly stacked boxes in the appropriate rooms. What impressed me most was their professionalism and attention to detail. They communicated clearly throughout the process, regularly checked to make sure I didn't have any questions, and truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was done right. Before leaving, they removed all of the packing materials they had used and left both my old and new homes clean and tidy. The entire move stayed on schedule and was remarkably efficient. I honestly could not have been happier with how smoothly everything went. The two movers assigned to my move were truly exceptional--kind, courteous, hardworking, and diligent professionals who clearly take great pride in their work. Please extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation to both of them. They made what could have been a stressful day remarkably easy, and I hope they know how much I appreciated their professionalism, care, and dedication. They are wonderful representatives of your company. Thank you for such an outstanding moving experience. I will absolutely use your services again for any future moves and will gladly recommend your company to friends, family, and colleagues.

From the very first convo they were easily the most professional and gave me the most affordable quote. Shout out to the dream team of Kurt,Alex & Eddie!! These guys were very careful and accommodating but moving like a well oiled machine. I would highly recommend and plan to use them again in the future

    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!

It's so easy to underestimate and get a different price at the end. Also, I know I wanted packers because its speeds up the entire process of moving and settling in. I'm so glad I did with Roadway.
