This is our 3rd move with Metropolis! I've said it before and I'll keep saying it (especially after…read morethis move) - I will never move without Metropolis. They are INCREDIBLE. We had a complicated move- we needed two trucks, the trucks needed to be held overnight, my husband had woodworking supplies and I had a voice over booth that needed to be very carefully moved AND to top it off we couldn't start the actual move in to the new place until 4pm the next day! They never batted an eye - from the video walkthrough with Jesse to the incredible team who came for day 1 and day 2... we felt like we were in amazing hands the whole time. They handled all of our (endless) stuff with such care. It was such a well oiled machine!! Don't look any further - HIRE THESE GUYS. I promise - you'll thank me later!! While I hope we never move again - if we do... Metropolis will be my first call!

Our company recently used Metropolis Moving for business purposes and the experience exceeded our…read moreexpectations. The team was professional, punctual, and highly organized from start to finish. They handled our artwork and furniture (antiques) with great care, ensuring everything arrived safely and on schedule. They even sent an art expert to help make a custom crate for the painting. Communication throughout the process was excellent, and the movers worked efficiently to minimize disruption to our operations. We appreciate their attention to detail and commitment to customer service. We would not hesitate to recommend Metropolis Moving to other businesses seeking a reliable moving partner.

Honestly more like a 3.5!! TLDR, they were much cheaper than all the other moving companies which I…read morereally do appreciate, but the quality drop in service matches. After a lot of reddit stalking and asking around I settled with SVEN moving because they gave me the cheapest quote, about $200 cheaper than Piece of Cake. The Good Much more affordable than others! + They were really fast! Though I'm sure that also had to do with the fact that all they did was put stuff into the truck, move them, and then take them up (both my buildings had elevators). The entire move took less than 2 hours, which is their minimum. + Virtual Customer Service leading up to the move was FANTASTIC. They responded to my emails very quickly as well as an urgent call I made the day before to request a very last-minute COI, which they sent around midnight later that night. They also proactively realized that my original move date was going to be on the same day as a World Cup match and offered a different day if I chose to, so that I wouldn't drive up the hourly rate while the truck sat in potential traffic. They also did a GREAT job of breaking down the cost so that I knew exactly what I was paying for and I always appreciate that. The Bad I definitely now understand why it was cheaper -- there was no packing help from them or disassembly whereas the quote from Piece of Cake included disassembly and reassembly + packing and boxes. When they moved my bed, they didn't wrap it in blankets in the room (they could've in the truck) which means that during the transpiration out of my old room and into my old room it was just exposed to open air-- this made me nervous because my bed wooden. + My desk didn't fit through the smaller door of the apartment I moved into, and I expected that they would disassemble and reassemble to take it into my room, but I was told that due to liability issues they are only able to do that for beds. My bed didn't even need that so they just moved that as a whole piece (a slab was unscrewed but I didn't really care about that). Anyways, I was thus stuck with a large and heavy desk in the middle of the living room that I had to quickly find a way to disassemble before my new roommates got home. Due to the cheaper price I'm not too mad about this, HOWEVER my dissatisfaction comes from the fact that the "liability issue" was NOT communicated to me beforehand. I actually emailed the company with the size of my desk and told them it may require disassembly, and to which they gave me a $45 quote for desk disassembly (which shows that they COULD HAVE disassembled it...) and then in a later email wrote "we most likely will not have to take apart the desk to safely transport it. As such I won't add the proposed disassembly fee to your quote." I would've HAPPILY paid the extra to not have had to deal with it myself-- it would've been a quick and easy 20-min task for 2 strong movers but with just me it wasted a lot of my time and energy. Ended up getting my boyfriend to help, but because we didn't expect this, we also had to hunt for the toolbox amongst my many bags and boxes. This is the reason I'm rounding down to 3 stars They also came an hour early which meant I had to rush home from previous plans I made with the original time in mind :') at least they were done very early lol As someone who appreciates cheaper pricing I definitely would still use them again to move my bed BUT with the heavy precaution that everything else needs to be disassembled on my own and that all my boxes need to be packed and ready to go (thank goodness I thought of doing that). If you want to pay extra for a truly no-hassle hands-off move, would definitely consider other companies!

Romy and his team were PHENOMENAL, highly recommend!!! I would 100% use them again. They were so…read moreefficient and professional (this tiny knob fell off one bookshelf during transport and they searched for it until they found it). 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!

Romy and the 3 men that assisted the move itself were friendly, swift, collaborative and extremely professional. They moved faster than estimated and on one of the hottest days of the year for a very good price (and I reached out to many companies for quotes!). I would recommend them to ANYONE moving - they made today a much easier and better day than one usually expects for a moving day.

Since claiming was last minute and I was unprepared, which I was... didn't think this is how my…read moreitems would end up... photo of my once white sofa that was placed on the ground with other section and multiple bags on top - not completely destroyed. Shelves thrown on top that are now broken and topped it all off by placing my king mattress - lot of room you will see to go up - blocking the entire storage unit and catching on door. Apparently they can't double park to move on my "narrow" street, that is a one way with parking on both side and even a bike lane. Several other moving trucks double parked - but they just couldn't. Received late and very rude response from Mike claiming the person that posted the review the day before was just lying and trying to hurt his mover. Which is odd... since I had pretty much the same experience. just in case - review from day before that as mike claims - has nothing to do with their actual move.. just trying to hurt his mover Alice A. 010 Oct 31, 2025 DO NOT hire movers from this company if you value your property. A team of 2 individuals who arrived apparently high as kites. Tony and Chris were late, sluggish, clumsy and took 2 hours to load a small job that would've taken 1 hour to load AND arrive to the destination of the move. Waiting for Mike to spout out some bullshit about me not being prepared or last minute ... so i guess according to mike - if you have a last minute move - or in my case, a cancellation - PLEASE, DO NOT CALL MINUTE MOVERS. IT'S YOUR FAULT AND THEY ARE DOING YOU A FAVOR BY SHOWING UP. **UPDATE - Mike let me know that this is just how storage units look! They showed up to chaos and had chaotic guidance, so it's my fault they did things like place the sofa on it's side on the storage unit ground and tossed shelves on top. So if you have any chaos in your move and you use Minute Movers, expect some shit to get destroyed and be placed even more chaotically... and don't forget, they can't park on Brooklyn streets because they are narrow... Mike thinks I am irrational and hell bent on hurting his movers.. kind of like the other post from day prior that is just to hurt them. seems to be a pattern.

As I mentioned in my previous review, I did indeed end up using Get There Moving again (just…read moreyesterday!) for the removal of an old oven and bringing in the new one.

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!

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.
