I have moved with Intense Movers for the past 2 years, in 2022 and 2023. I have had bad experiences both times. In 2023 one of the movers started yelling at me and I ended my night in tears :( plus they mishandled my things. In 2022, the movers arrived 1.5 hours late and immediately upon arriving began berating me about extra stuff. To be fair to them, I did have some extra, I was new to doing the inventory list they requested and had overlooked items I didn't think of like trash can, shower rack, dish rack etc, but had included all my big furniture, boxes, and clothes. I felt bad for these movers as they were clearly exhausted from moving all day and I honestly wondered why only 2 were sent when it was clear from my inventory it should probably 3 man job (or at least 2 not exhausted overworked men). But my empathy dried up quickly as one guy proceeded to complain for the next 2 hours EVERY TIME he saw me and they took breaks chilling in the truck, we didn't finish till almost 10pm. Breaks are fine but like cmon man. I tried to put everything in easily manageable boxes and bags for the movers making no single thing too heavy (THIS IS IMPORTANT CONTEXT FOR MY 2023 MOVE) I was reprimanded by one of the movers for this, and he told me I should never because it's all about number of trips up and down the stairs. Ok, my bad. The move the next morning was seamless, the guys seemed refreshed, I paid the "extra inventory" fee. Nothing was broken and while the experience itself wasn't outstanding, I appreciated that my stuff was all in one piece. So I booked again in August 2023. This move was SO BAD. I had booked my move for 5pm and asked if we could be done by 9pm and they told me we would (hint: we were not done by 9pm...) I lived in an elevator building where the truck could pull right up, and had really refined my inventory plus packed almost everything into 5-6 large boxes like the mover had told me last year. I only realized last minute I had forgotten to add my plants to my inventory but added it when they texted me day-of asking about extras. Anyways, they arrived 2 hours late and also immediately started counting everything, trying to find "extra stuff" and accusing me. I was so confused by this horrible energy when I was really doing my best. PLUS, I started to HELP THEM move all my boxes because we were going way too slow, so I was carrying my items to the truck with them while one of them complaining about how heavy my boxes were. He also complained about the company exhausting them. This guy actually started to get mad at me, and slammed my box on the ground and pulled me aside to tell me I should NEVER pack boxes this heavy and I was crazy for packing everything in large boxes as opposed to splitting it into small medium boxes. I told him what the mover from Intense Movers told me last year and he told me "no one would have ever said that." Okay... This man was starting to get more and more aggressive to me. They told me they were done BEFORE THE LAST OF MY STUFF WAS DONE BEING MOVED. So I moved the last of my stuff, including my plants, down from my apartment to the truck where this man proceeded to tell me my plants were a "liability" and they decided they're not taking them. I told them this was part of my move and they needed to move everything, and the aggressive guy started to yell and me and TAKE MY STUFF OUT OF THE TRUCK and throw it back on the sidewalk. (I also have a video of him screaming at me in case anyone tries to say this is fake). I started crying because my lease was already up and I didn't know what I would do with my things and I was so exhausted and desperate, I begged them to take it and finally they did. The next morning was a nightmare. These guys were slamming my boxes on the ground like it was weights in the gym. They actually refused to move several of my boxes and made my boyfriend (the actual man of the group) do it, and he reassured me my boxes really weren't that heavy. He took them up the stairs with ease. The movers proceeded to tear off my plastic mattress protector (??) and drag my bare mattress through the street and garbage area and then up the stairs making it completely dirtied. This literally had me on the verge of tears again. They broke 4 wine glasses, 2 plates, and a picture frame. I never said anything because I don't want their money, but I am writing this review to save other people (especially young women) from having the same experience. I can't even imagine what could have happened if my boyfriend wasn't there. It really was horrible and showed me the worst of moving in NYC. Clearly, I will not be moving with them again.

A+ all around. Our move from Suffolk to Nassau was incredibly smooth, starting with the prompt emails calculating an estimate that was actually honored! Any larger or fragile items were further discussed and some photographs were sent. Estimate came promptly and was very fair. On the day of the move there were no surprises! I want to say that our team of 3: Nick, Owen, & Barrett were efficient, courteous, and professional! I could not have been happier with their service, attention to detail, and care with our furniture. Communication was also fantastic the night before and morning of the move. I would absolutely recommend!!!

My husband and I moved from a 4th floor walk-up into a 4th floor walk-up during the middle of a 90-degree+ multi-day heat wave. The guys from Intense Movers were immensely helpful, making the experience far less painful than it could have been. The scheduling process was fairly straightforward. The crew was scheduled to arrive at 8AM, and they showed up 15 minutes early, worked hard the whole time, and finished a few minutes before the scheduled end time. Their prices are fair, and there were no surprises at the end of the move when it was time to settle up. Working with Intense Movers might be one of the most straightforward elements of your whole moving experience. read more

I hired this company to move my art studio from one spot to another across Brooklyn. The guys were prompt and worked hard. However, the company boasts that that they have a no nonsense policy when it comes to quotes. Fill out their form, get a quote, and that's what you pay for your move. I filled out their form and I got my quote just a few minutes later which was great. When they sent me a confirmation notice the next day it asked that I confirm the items in the included itinerary. I noticed they had omitted one item that I included in my quote form. This was a few sheets of wood. I emailed them to mention this omission. They wrote back that because I had not included the items in my quote request it would increase the price for my move. When I wrote back and sent a copy of the quote form that I had filled out which included the item, they responded that "any items that are not included in the original quote or, that they might have missed, will have to be added to the quote and could increase the price". Shocking, since they boast this no-nonsense see-through process of paying exactly what they quote initially. Particularly frustrating since I had actually filled out the form appropriately and include these items. They failed to respond to my inquiry as to whether or not this would actually change the price, and if so by how much, until the mover showed up and I said this is whats going on, what we do about these piece of wood. They called dispatch and wouldn't move the wood unless I paid an extra $40. $40 might not seem like much but to tack on to a $300 total it's wild. Didn't sour me for the entire move since the guys were pretty good and moved me quickly but it seems pretty shady to me. To add $40 to a $300 bill just to add one item that I included and they forgot to add left a bad taste in my mouth. Most of all because this came to light after the move was scheduled and in motion. Certainly didn't give me much of a choice in the matter. read more

I LOVE Intense Movers. I've used them twice- once for a move from Hoboken to Manhattan, and then once within Manhattan. Their prices are fair, they are prompt, and the movers are friendly and extremely helpful. If you fill out their inventory list appropriately from the beginning and look at their FAQ/moving tips, you will have no problems or surprises the day of your move. read more

Seamless, stress-free move from NY to VA. Intense gave me the best price of anyone (and I called a lot of people!), responded immediately to all my questions via e-mail (ranging from helping to estimate the number of boxes to how to pack a lamp), and was professional and honest. The truck arrived 5 minutes early, the three guys were nice and efficient, and had our things packed and ready to go in 2 hours. They drove the truck to VA and met my father right on time to pack a storage unit for us and he was highly complimentary of them and their work. There were no changes to the estimate and I paid what I was quoted. My advice to anyone moving in NYC is 1) to definitely use Intense Movers and 2) to be very detailed in their description of exactly how much they have and what their living space/building is like. Then there won't be surprises! read more

It was really nice working with these guys! The movers were on time (at an ungodly hour), polite, and I appreciated how careful and respectful they were with my stuff. They were also crazy fast and finished way earlier than I had anticipated. Their office is great also- I booked my move only two days in advance which was dumb of me, but their response time was quick and they were very accommodating. You have to make a pretty specific list of what/how much you have, but it ends up being helpful on moving day. The more accurate your list is the smoother your move will go. The guys had a copy of my inventory with them and made sure to get everything. One of them even reminded me about a lamp I had listed but then forgot about in my morning stupor. Definitely recommended! read more

Three guys from Intense Movers - Rob, Peter and Langston - moved me from a second story walk-up in Brooklyn, to Manhattan, and they were incredibly good; unflappable (I was in full flap), super-dedicated, v v nice and terribly efficient. Moving is such a hugely stressful experience, that it makes all the difference having people who know what they're doing, and can do it with the minimum of fuss, plus be reassuring and sympathetic when you're on the brink of a meltdown. Nothing was broken, even though I had a lot of artwork; nothing was dropped, although some of my furniture was unbelievably heavy and easy to scratch; and they were super professional when the building I was moving into decided to be difficult and give them a hard time about the move. (This wasn't the fault of the movers; turns out the building I've moved into is full of people who could've had walk on parts in Rosemary's Baby). Definitely go with these guys; they're the best. read more

Very smooth & professional transcation from start to finish. I received an email quote same-day and they adjusted it immediately when I changed my information (they clearly say in the quote that they do not reassemble furniture, so I decided I would prefer to take it apart myself as well). Plus, it was the best quote out of the four places I requested one from, as well. Johannes and Cameron were really fast and incredibly friendly. It was a really hot day, but they got my whole move done in the morning without a hitch. I would definitely recommend this company. Plus, the trucks are just so cool. read more

I recently completed my move with Intense Movers based largely on the referral from Juggle Boxes (which I also highly recommend) and the reviews here on Yelp. I've lived and moved around in NYC for the past 20 years and these guys hands down are best I have ever encountered. The crew was professional, efficient, courteous and above all just good people. The bill was exactly as quoted (of course, I think its up to you the customer to ensure that you have as accurate an inventory list as possible to ensure this - but totally in your control!) with no last minute add-on's for tape, wrapping, etc. My belongings were not held hostage prior to payment and tip (as has been my past experience). I would recommend these guys without hesitation! read more

I've used Intense Movers twice in the last few years and both were great experiences. They are affordable, friendly, affordable, professional, affordable, quick and careful...and best of all AFFORDABLE. The last time I moved with them, they were an hour late but called me well ahead of time to let me know that there was a delay on a job ahead of me. They called multiple times to keep me posted, were very apologetic and sincerely cared. The movers were extremely affable and professional. The speed in which they move things is pretty incredible. Nothing broken... not sure what else you can ask for in a moving company! Oh, and did I mention they are AFFORDABLE. They'll give you the best quote of any other moving company in the city...and they are better in quality than some of the more expensive options! read more

Intense Movers did two moves for me in the last two months -- both were nothing short of fantastic. Moving is one of the most stressful things in the world, but these guys made it so unbelievably easy. Working with them was simple from the start. Everything was done by email, and I filled out a simple inventory form that helped them give me an accurate estimate for my move. Everyone I emailed with was remarkably responsive (even though it was the high season) and pleasant. Both crews I had were punctual, polite, and fun to work with. The moves each started with a walk-through to check that the inventory was correct (but they were flexible...ie I subbed out a box for a bin, added a tv but took out something else...as long as it's relatively close it's fine). My moves were also insanely fast; I couldn't believe it. Both times I was out of my first location in under an hour. My second move included two pick up stops (Long Island City and Midtown) and ended on the Upper East Side -- the entire thing was done in 3. Hours. Flat. Insane. Can't recommend Intense highly enough! I will never use another movers again! read more

I was incredibly impressed with the organization, professionalism and enthusiasm demonstrated by Intense Movers. From the beginning, they were organized and accommodating. It was so simple (and stress free) to coordinate a moving schedule and to get an estimate. When moving day came, they sent three respectful, friendly and professional movers, Paul, Kyle and Robert. They worked quickly and thoughtfully, protecting my belongings as they went along. I never imagined moving would go ask quickly as it did! For the service provided, the cost was more than fair and well worth every penny! I would recommend Intense Movers to anyone and everyone! read more

We just moved about a week ago and Intense Movers were one of three movers recommended to us. Not only was their quote the most reasonable but I found them to be the most responsive and prompt in their communication as well. I changed the estimate of boxes and furniture the evening before the move and they quickly gave me an update on the quote [with no exorbitant surprises]! On the day of the move, the guys showed up a little early and waited for the assigned time to knock at the door. The move was so smooth, easy and efficient. The guys had a great personality, were cheerful and really fast. No person, furniture or box got a scratch in the process. We were very happy with the experience and would highly recommend using them! read more

Intense Movers saved my roommate and I's life when we moved. We had the pleasure of working with Danny, Rob and Marco and they were ANGELS from above. They came in with a smile and left with a smile. They never once complained about anything and were genuinely the nicest people. They had to move us from Hoboken to a 5th floor walk-up in the UES and they did it so fast and again, with a smile. I had two people recommend Intense to me and since my move, I've recommended them to a ton of my friends. So long as I'm in NYC, I will stay a loyal customer to these guys.

These guys are the best. I moved from Rego Park, Queens to New Jersey. Before hiring Intense I researched a bit and received quotes from various movers. Most movers took my inventory details over phone and gave me an estimate, but when it came to Intense everything was in email. I like to be transparent when it comes to paying and Intense were really transparent , everything was in email.Few more good things about Intense: 1) There prices are reasonable and quality of service is super. 2) My move was handled by Shaun, Morgan and Lane. These guys were awesome and took care of every minute details like making sure that they have high regard for my stuff . Everything was handled carefully. 3) My quote was handled by Danielle and Sam and both were super professional. Felt like dealing with a professional organization.

I joined Yelp just to say how great my experience was with Intense Movers. For starters, they were the only company available to do my move on short notice -- I called on Tuesday and moved Friday. The flat rate was very reasonable, and I was not up-charged despite the fact that we ended up having 10-15 more boxes than we thought. Our movers -- Kenny, Kojo and Chris -- were super friendly, careful and efficient! They moved us out of a 1bd parlor level apartment to a 4th floor walkup 2bd in the same neighborhood in four hours flat. Nothing damaged, no issues, quick and easy. read more

I've moved 5 times to various apartments/neighborhoods in NYC within a 10 year span and this was by far, THE EASIEST move ever. I can not sing enough praises about how smoothly the morning went from start to finish. Dukes arrived exactly on time and took inventory of our apartment to ensure the truck could accommodate our belongings...an hour and a half later I was completely moved into my new apartment. The movers were courteous, professional, and very considerate of our belongings- definitely something I have not witnessed with other movers. The survey ahead of schedule takes 5 minutes and may seem daunting at first but it creates the most accurate quote for your move so NO SUPRISES. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who is moving - their trucks are even unique with the artwork on the side. I know exactly now who to use when I move again!

Last week, I realized that i had to empty an entire apt I had been renting out furnished in the city and take to storage upstate New york. Originally i though about renting a truck and doing it but realized the truck was about the same cost as hiring movers. After reading the great reviews of Intense Movers( the name seemed to fit in exactly with my state of mind), I left a message. They responded immediately and had an opening in two days! From beginning the end they were very thorough, great prices, super welcoming. Kofi and Brendan showed up with huge smiles, entirely loaded everything easily and without a hitch. They even discarded of some dressers i didn't need for a small price. They drove upstate and loaded it all without any issues and brought me back the key! I really cant express how much i appreciated this whole process. They are amazing, have a great sense of humor and made the move and enjoyable experience!

Do you have a minimum fee or minimum number of hours you charge for?

Our minimum labor fee is $100 an hour for 2 movers with a 2 hour minimum. However, if you just need a lounge chair or say a dresser moved from one place to another that is close by, the flat fee could be as low as $80 or $130. Hope that helps :)

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.

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!

Based on my estimates of the time the job would take, they were much cheaper than any of the 5 other companies we got quotes from. In the end though, the job did take longer than expected. They used three employees and a large truck. They provided blankets, plastic wrap, and tape to properly protect all items for transport. If they noticed any preexisting damage on the furniture, they notified us promptly so we were aware. Initially, they worked quite efficiently, but began to slow down during the second half of pick-up. What I thought would take about 4 hours ended up being a 6 hour job, including a 45 minute drive to the new place. They still came in cheaper than the next best quote we were considering, but not by much. When they finished the move, they left a mountain of tape, plastic, and cardboard, which they supplied, in our hallway. We thought they would clean it up before leaving, but we were left with that task, which was disappointing. They require a $50 + tax deposit to reserve a move. You pay the balance after all the work is done. They offer a discount if you pay in cash. Overall, they were professional and moving is grueling work so I have no major complaints, other than the debris they left behind. But be mindful that the time-based quote may add up, so be prepared to spend more than you might anticipate.

DO NOT HIRE GREAT MOVERS -- UNPROFESSIONAL, CARELESS, AND DISHONEST…read more On October 30, 2025, I hired Great Movers to remove and store heavy items from my property. Three movers arrived, led by a foreman named Steve. They were instructed to place the sofa and love seat in a designated dumpster area. During the move, the team used our bathroom while working in the bedroom. Shortly after they left, my daughter arrived home and immediately realized that her gold, diamond, and pink sapphire necklace -- a deeply sentimental graduation gift she'd worn almost daily for three years -- was missing. It had been safely in the bedroom that morning, and she hadn't worn it that day due to her outfit choice. We searched thoroughly. It was gone. I texted Steve immediately and asked for his manager's contact information. When he called back, I explained what happened. His first response was dismissive: "Great Movers isn't responsible for stolen items." No empathy, no concern, no sense of accountability. Over the next three days, I called the company multiple times and left messages for management (Saad or anyone in charge) -- not a single call was returned. Zero acknowledgment. As if that wasn't enough, I then received a call from building management saying the movers had dumped my furniture next to a pizza shop's dumpster, upsetting the business owner. I had clearly told them to place the items inside the designated dumpster area. When I called again, the dispatcher promised to contact Steve. Steve later claimed I "never said anything" about a designated area -- an outright lie. He finally returned to move the furniture to the proper spot, but even then, he set it next to the dumpster until I told him to put it inside. When I again brought up the stolen necklace, he was cold, sarcastic, and emotionless. I told him I would be filing a police report and that if the necklace was returned, there would be no questions asked. His only reply was to ask "where it was located." It is now November 5, and I have still received no response from Great Movers management. This experience has been deeply upsetting, not only because of the stolen jewelry and unprofessional conduct, but also because of the company's complete lack of integrity, accountability, and compassion. My advice: DO NOT USE GREAT MOVERS. If you value your belongings -- and basic human decency -- find another moving company. Great Movers = Great Disappointment.

They worked fast, stayed organized, and took great care with everything. At our new apartment, they navigated two separate elevators with ease and got every piece of furniture right where it needed to go.

Couldn't recommend Perfect Moving Co. more highly. They turned what could have been a stressful move into a genuinely positive experience.

Hi Intense Movers, Although we have not been able to open our boxes yet (we still haven't closed on the house because of delays) we were thoroughly pleased with our moving crew. I was a mover for 10 years and we used Moishes Movers for our 3 previous NYC moves. They were A+ the first two moves and a D on our last move, which led me to ask around for Moving Company referrals. After getting quotes from 4 different companies I decided to go with Intense Movers. I liked that you wanted to send 5 movers to our 4th floor walk up load and just 3 guys to unload in Philadelphia. Your quote was the best, but as you know it was all cash (which not everyone can do or likes to with CC points available etc...) I am a small business owner and understand and appreciate cash transactions vs credit card ACH fees. DUMBO movers (also highly recommended to me) did contact us and offered to match your price but I wasn't going to go back and forth with all of that. The crew were very professional and friendly. They were quiet and didn't complain about anything, even though there was a heatwave that week. They expressed appreciation for the fact that I saved them "Rock Star" parking directly in front of our apartment, which was no small feat on my part. We had plenty of snacks and water for them too. Angel & John were the young bucks only at the loading, they chipped in nicely although John had to leave early and didn't say goodbye, I gave the crew leader his tip. Angel was very grateful and thanked me with sincerity. Crew Leader: Lane was amazing, very chill and experienced, he set me at ease immediately. Antonio was clearly a veteran and could also handle anything thrown at him, he was a beast. Lastly was Quinn the "Old Guy" although he didn't look his age. He was the driver and loader. His load was picture perfect and what a character he is. There is always one, I liked having him on my side! Your FAQ was helpful and hilarious. The game has changed since I was a mover at the turn of the century. Particulalry 20% tipping. Luckily, I still had that kind of cash and they were thrilled that I helped out in a lot of different ways and tipped them well. It was well worth it and they were very deserving. GREAT CREW and GREAT MOVING EXPERIENCE. I still work in Brooklyn and will recommend Intense Movers to anyone looking. Thank you, Jeff read more

I have used Intense Movers twice now, once locally within New York and once to move from New York to the Midwest. Both times I have been absolutely floored by how great a job my movers did, how fast they got everything done, and how communicative the admin team was throughout the process. I really can't sing their praises enough. I wish I remembered the names of the guys who moved us locally, but Izzy was my foreman for this recent move and the man is a certified super hero. Not only did he and his partner get us out of our apartment in record time, but they beat us to our new home! Unreal! And the guy works on ambulances when he's not on the moving truck! Also extremely worth noting that for a cross-country move, Intense quoted us the LOWEST PRICE WE FOUND and were the *only* ones to offer a direct move! Incredible work, incredible deal, great team. Highly recommend to anybody within their service area. The most common negative remark I have found in reviews of Intense is that the pre-move questionnaire is long and, well, intense. Yes, it is a lot to work through before even getting a quote, but I PROMISE you your labor will be rewarded with a much easier moving day. You're going to be so happy that you and the team know exactly what you have/how many boxes you have. You also do not have to be 100% certain of everything from day one, you can fudge your inventory and get as close as you can then add detail as you get closer to your moving day. My one piece of constructive feedback for Intense Movers is on the admin end, it would have been great to have some sort of signed form, or a deposit or something to ease my mind in the weeks leading up to the move. As it stands you just have an email confirmation and your trust in the company, which granted is pretty strong, but it would have made me feel more comfortable to have something a little more concrete. read more

5 Reasons Why You Should Move with Intense Movers I never write customer reviews but felt compelled to do so because of the exceptional service provided by Intense Movers. Here's my top 5 reasons: Communication: Clear, prompt, and personable written and verbal communication. We went back and forth over email until every detail was ironed out in writing. I knew exactly what to expect on the day of the move. Very little of the booking process is automated and everyone I was in communication with from the office was knowledgeable and organized. Service: I once called the office about a question I had regarding the quote and a member of the team offered to explain it to me over the phone and type it up in writing so that we had a written record of the exchange. The Move Itself: The team who moved my belongings arrived on time, communicated with me the day before to confirm details (address, final box count, etc.), and even offered to give me a couple of moving blankets that they used to wrap my furniture. Everything was wrapped and carefully transported to the truck. They were finished in under an hour and a half. Payment: No payment is required until the move is 100% completed--not even tip. The team unloaded all of my belongings at the final destination before I had to pay. The price on the quote is exactly what you pay and the team makes that abundantly clear from the get go. Cost: Somehow, in spite of the impeccable service, personable communication, and attention to detail provided by these movers, the quote Intense offered was better than any of the other 10 companies I contacted in the New York metro area. I only wish they existed outside of the New York area because they would be my go to movers! read more

Just have to say, I never write reviews - I'm far too lazy - so this is my first. Speaking of laziness, I recently hired Intense Movers to move my lazy butt from Brooklyn to Washington Heights. I checked with about 6 or 7 different moving companies; these guys quoted me the second-lowest price out of all of them, but were so quick in responding to emails and so nice and HUMAN on the phone (Matt, you're awesome) I decided to go with them, anyway (yes, I'm lazy AND cheap). No complaints here, my lazy, cheap-ass tipped them an extra $40 at the end of it all, they were so great! They showed up a half-hour early but didn't pressure me at all (I'd run out of tape and my friend had run to get some to finish taping up boxes); I got the impression they would've waited until my appt time no problem if I'd preferred. Instead I told them to go ahead and get started and they loaded my crap in so fast they were ready to go before my friend got back! As she was my ride to the new place, they said they'd head out but take their time and grab some coffee/bite to eat along the way to kill time while they waited for me - again, no pressure from anyone. My friend finally made it back and we were on our way. I met the guys at the new place, unlocked the doors and once again they moved so quickly I hadn't quite registered when it was done until dear Daniel had to point it out to me. (I'm never moving MYSELF again!) Daniel and Paul were their names, I think - both friendly, efficient, and truly pleasant to interact with. I can't recommend them enough. Affordable AND good customer service, respect for your stuff, efficient moving? Can't beat these guys. Seriously. read more

I recently moved from NY to NJ (just across the Hudson) and got quotes from 5 movers. Intense movers were the 1st I contacted; they made it incredibly easy on their website and I had their final "no frills, this is what you pay" quote 1 hour later, on a Sunday nontheless. And they had BY FAR the best price, ca. $300 lower than most other quotes I solicited. Communication was great and they showed up on time on the day of the move. I got two guys with a 16ft truck and everything went smoothly. I made it easy for them my packing all my stuff into 'green' reusable juggleboxes and also bubble-wrapped stuff like paintings, screens and the TV. There was one thing which I hoped they would've done different, which is to also wrap my leather furniture (a 3 seater couch). They seemed to only wrap wooden furniture like tables, etc, but the couch didn't get wrapped and ended up getting its leather scratched (no big deal as it's on the back of the couch and I can probably touch it up using a leather-pen, but it added a small wrinkle to an otherwise perfect move. In any case though, I can DEFINITELY recommend them to anyone looking to move AND save some money. The guys were friendly, fast and made the move as effortless as possible. For the record, I used to move 7 years ago with flatrate.com which were great at the time, but I was hesitant to go with them again since their ratings aren't that great anymore as compared to Intense Movers... and also it was painful to even get a quote from them, they insisted on calling on the phone... I prefered to just upload my list of furniture to the web and be done with it... and Intense Movers allowed just that! Loved it. read more

I just recently contracted with Intense to move me from Brooklyn to Long Island, and another move next week to Manhattan. It took me two weeks to identify a company I can trust, one that had fair pricing, and fair contract terms. My largest issue was out of the number of reviews, how many 1 and 2 star ratings did they get. If you divide those totals into the number of total reviews, the lower the number, the lower your risk. Intense had that low score, and I will tell you why; First, the office experience was fast, accurate and responsive to our needs. I had very expensive, heavy, hard to move antique furniture, in addition to lots of wood furniture. On the day of the move, the movers showed up early! Pretty rare. Then, the professionalism of the lead and the team was first rate. I am very detail oriented and look for workers who pay attention to detail and are easy to work with. This was the most professional group of guys you can get. They blanketed all the furniture, listened to our concerns, made great suggestions, took their time and made the move safely and in a timely manner. Our group was led by Cire and the fantastic team was Antonio, Peter and Dave. While we were a little anxious about the first move.... now we have the utmost confidence in the second! Just a note, watch for scammers who want to get paid before they unload your furniture, or want their tips before the move is over. If you want some great moving advice, I wouldn't think twice about who to go to. Hire these guys for the best moving experience you can get, at a fair price. read more

I've used Intense Movers twice now - once last year for a move from Washington Heights to Brooklyn Heights, and once a couple weeks ago from Brooklyn to Princeton, NJ. Overall, my experience with Intense Movers has been excellent both times. We would definitely use them again for our next move, and also would recommend to friends who are planning to move in the future. Both times, the company has been very communicative in the days leading up to the move, providing estimates based on our furniture and number of boxes and adjusting and clarifying how we had to prepare prior to the move to make things more efficient. Everyone involved was very helpful throughout the whole process. The day of the move, we were updated via text/call about arrival time. For the latest move, they were right on schedule - scheduled at 8am, which is when they showed up. The three movers did an awesome job, and were very efficient and professional. We really appreciated the hard work they put in, especially since it was such a long day and we had such a tight space to move out of a 5th floor brownstone walkup with some bulky boxes and furniture (in the rain, as an added bonus). They were amazing. During the drive down to NJ, we were updated again on arrival time. Upon arrival, the guys unloaded the truck and got everything into our new apartment (third floor walk up) very quickly. The whole move only took ~6 hours in total, and that was including the drive time and slow-downs by us arriving later than the movers and taking time to obtain keys to the apartment. read more

TLDR: Amazing experience, great value. From start to finish Intense Movers was fantastic. I messaged them on December 23rd hoping to move December 29th, the group emailed me back within an hour with a detailed question list based of my inventory. After filling this out, I received my quote. The quote was not the absolute lowest I received, but it was on the lower end of the 14 movers I'd requested a quote from. The day before my move Kojo the move leader texted me to ask from some additional details, photos of door etc. On move day, he was there promptly at the start at 8, and began staging boxes downstairs, the truck arrived 10 minutes later with Barack and Keith. When I say I was in awe of these guys, they emptied out my 3rd floor walkup apartment in an hour, including some really heavy pieces. Everything remotely fragile was wrapped with the utmost of care. After that, they drove from Harlem to Fidi and the second of three stops. My boyfriend's apartment street was closed (of course) so they managed to creatively find another way to park the van to load up. After that they moved everything into the third location, putting boxers into the correctly labeled rooms. The entire move start to finish from Harlem to Fidi with three stops took 5 hours flat. Nothing was broken or damaged and it was an entirely relaxing experience. A far stretch from when I moved myself to NYC in a Uhaul 10 years ago. I also have to specifically call out Kojo, he showed incredible leadership which is why I think the move went so well. read more

Intense Movers are the ABSOLUTE BEST! I was in an extremely dire situation with my move and they definitely saved me. From the start, the communication & set up was timely & professional. On the first day Angel arrived on time & immediately began wrapping and positioning everything for loading. When my pod finally arrived, it wasn't big enough for 1/3 of my stuff to fit. I was totally distraught with only 2 days to vacate my apartment. While I sat with my head in my hands about to cry, Joel called his office to see if they could facilitate my long distance move on short notice. I was ecstatic & relieved when Joel said that Intense Movers were able to facilitate my move within the next 2 days, for a reasonable price. Two days later, Joel & Izzy arrived early and cafefully & neatly loaded everything in less than 2 hours. Joel stayed in contact with me throughout this entire process. The next day, they arrived at the new house before me and waited patiently. Upon my arrival, they carefully unloaded everything and placed it wherever I needed it to be. From start to finish, these guys were absolutely amazing. Joel treated me like family. He was extremely attentive and he made me feel very comfortable. He was truly a Godsend! And I am forever grateful to him and his team at INTENSE MOVERS. I've been telling everyone I know to call them for any and all types of loading or moving needs they may have. God Bless them all! read more

I was recommended to Intense Movers by a friend of mine who moved twice in the past and who used them both times. Their customer service department is top notch. They respond quickly and efficiently and answer all questions. Their prices arealso super reasonable. They were able to reschedule my appointment twice for me with no issues. Ty, Edwin + Frankie came to my residence yesterday. They were 3 of the nicest guys I've ever met. They were pleasant, patient, helpful and made the move so stress free. They did the move fast but took their time with all of my belongings making sure everything was wrapped and secure. When we got to my new residence (which is the 2nd floor) they unpacked the truck so quickly and efficiently. They were mindful to my belongings and asked me where every single item should go. My couch originally gave them an issue, we thought it was going to be too big to fit up the narrow staircase that also included a weird angle.. but they didn't give up and after 3 times, they got it up the stairs. I am forever grateful for their determination and dedication. I'm sure other people would have told me it wasn't fitting but they honored my wishes to try one more time and were successful. I couldn't be happier w/ Intense Movers + will absolutely recommend them to anyone who is moving! If you are moving, don't look anywhere else! I promise you will not be disappointed! read more

I recently had another excellent experience with Intense Movers! I used their moving services for an in-building move last year, which is why I picked them again for my move out of NYC this month. Every step of the process from initial quote to move confirmation to inventory updates is handled via email - no phone calls - so everything is in writing and accurate. The price I was quoted for my final inventory was the exact amount I paid at the end of the move. They respond to emails quickly and everyone is super polite and professional. The foreman Owen was fantastic and communicated everything about the move process to me very clearly. Hansel and Patrick were also on my moving team. Everyone worked fast and efficiently, and they were able to move my 1bd apt in the Financial District to Beacon, NY in ~4 hours. Impressive, to say the least :) They even had to share the service elevator at the pick-up location, because my apt mgmt had accidentally double-booked the elevator. At the drop-off location, they were very accommodating in making sure heavy items were placed where I had labeled the rooms with post-it notes, as I am not able to lift/move heavy items. I really could not have asked for a better experience! I will absolutely refer Intense Movers to all my friends who need to move in/around NYC. Thank you to everyone at Intense Movers for making the moving process so much easier! read more

Our son and his girlfriend hired Intense Movers to move from our house on Long Island to Midtown West. Son had to be at the apartment to accept other furniture deliveries and his girlfriend had to work, so my husband and I supervised at our end. Steve and Jay arrived only about 10 minutes late, which was excellent considering they'd never been out this way before and had been given confusing directions. They were personable, polite and worked carefully, yet fast-- the truck was packed up in less than an hour and they left. We left right afterwards with a full carload. Traffic was heavy. We got there first and unloaded the car and moved it, just as they arrived...perfect timing. Everything was delivered in perfect condition and with smiles. We were up in the apartment when they were done and my son paid them. There were no surprises...not a penny over the quoted flat-rate, despite the heavy traffic, some extra items not included in the inventory and the rather long haul from the truck to the building's service elevator. When we got home, there was a message on our machine from Steve saying he was sorry they didn't get a chance to say good-bye and to thank us for our help...what nice guys!! We will recommend Intense Movers to everyone we know. read more

Best moving company ever! I used Intense for my move from NYC to DC and for their packing services. This was the easiest move I have ever had (and I've done a few, including with moving companies). First, the packing: 2 hours for my whole apartment and things were packed perfectly wrapped and really well organized. They labeled what was in every box, so it was easy to find things when I got to my new place. The move: they arrived 15 minutes after our scheduled time, but called me well in advance to let me know, so that was fine. The guys couldn't have been nicer about my 5th-floor walk-up and moved/wrapped everything really carefully (I have had problems with this in the past so I am especially careful about this). They made it to DC in great time and everything arrived without issue. Cost: I got a flat rate because of the distance, but it seemed like their hourly rate was pretty reasonable, too. There were a couple cheaper companies out there, but they all had sketchy reviews. Intense was definitely the cheapest of the reliable options. In short, just hire Intense and be done with your search. The office was always really responsive to my questions and confirmation emails, and I have never had such an easy, stress-free moving day. read more

Used them for a move within Brooklyn last month and we were really happy with the service, and the price. Our movers were cool guys with great attitudes, even though it was 99 degrees out. They finished a 2 bedroom move in less than 5 hours, and I loved that it was a flat rate with no surprise charges. I also took advantage of their reassembly service for our bed. It's an additional fee, and you have to specifically request it, but it was worth it. He showed up about an hour after the movers left and I was really impressed and how quickly he put the whole thing back together. He even unwrapped the mattress and placed it, and put the bed right where we wanted it. I also wanted to say that while we were moving into the new place, there was a woman wandering around the halls who clearly didn't belong in the building and probably got in while our doors were propped open for the move. Our moving guys were on top of it, and were careful to make sure that I was safe and never left alone in the apt while we figured out how to get her out of the building (husband was waiting down at the truck). I really appreciated their concern, and while everything was totally fine in the end, I'm glad I took their advice to call the police. read more

I had a phenomenal experience with Intense Movers last week. I needed help for a move into an apartment in the financial district. The entire process - from the initial booking to the actual move itself - was entirely flawless. The crew was completely professional and maintained great communication throughout the move. I didn't appreciate how challenging parking would be near my apartment and the moving truck ultimately needed to be parked several blocks away. This meant a lot of extra walking for the crew but they took this in stride and didn't complain at all. They got right down to business and finished the job in about half the time that I would have expected. Chris and Nate were consummate professionals and genuinely nice guys. I've moved plenty of times and I've even worked my fair share of manual labor jobs myself. The highest praise that I can give these guys is that they work hard. Really hard. Pricing was incredibly reasonable for this level of service. Bottom line: I fully intend to hire Intense Movers for any future moves. They are trustworthy, communicative, hard working, professional, and a great value. I can't recommend them more highly. If you are considering a move, they should be first on your list. read more

These guys were great. I had a little trouble getting Matt on the phone during the week, but after all the great reviews I really wanted to hire them, and the estimate I received was easily the lowest. Working out the early logistics took a little effort, but it was DEFINITELY worth it. I had to move out of a studio in Manhattan along with a storage unit in Brooklyn. I hadn't been to the storage units in months, so when I was estimating how much stuff I had, I made a lot of guesses. I was off. Really off. Like... 70 boxes off. A job that i'm sure they thought would take maybe 4-5 hours took 9. Not a problem. Adam and Charlie were AWESOME. They were super pleasant, and just kept hammering away at the work, even when it came to our super-heavy book boxes. When it came time to renegotiate the price, I figured they had me over a barrel. I had no choice to pay just about anything they asked for, because we needed to move that day. I thought they'd double the price, maybe even more, but instead they just added 25%. I still can't believe it. The service, the price... they are the best. I will use them for all future moves. Thanks, Adam and Charlie! read more

Lane and the other 3 team members who assisted me with my move earlier this month were phenomenal. My parents and I were so impressed with the job that they did and can't find anything negative to say. They were quick, efficient, and took great care of my belongings. They arrived on time, worked really well together, and seemed like they never stopped working until the job was done. They were friendly and a much appreciated breath of fresh air (we were all stressed because of the move). Lane was a great communicator/point person, happily listened to all of my concerns and made sure I was comfortable with the plan before they began. I also appreciated Lane's walkthrough prior to bringing my stuff into the new place, and the way that all of the movers let me know where the most important or fragile items were placed before they left. Thank you so much for the easy process, from the initial quote, to the last minute updates, though moving day itself. You all made such a stressful time much easier and I can't thank you enough. I will recommend Intense Movers to anyone that I know who is moving and will absolutely contact you again for my next move. read more

I can't recall being so completely satisfied with a service as I am with Intense Movers. They moved me from my rental (a walk up) to the coop I just bought. They were great to deal with from start to finish. The moving crew showed up exactly on time and were amazing. My old apartment was a walk up and it was raining/sleeting the entire time they were working, but they seemed unfazed by this and set about efficiently emptying my apartment. They took tremendous care carrying everything down the stairs and protecting the furniture for the move. I was very impressed with the level of professionalism of the moving crew, they clearly knew the most efficient way to go about things and did so in an extremely friendly and courteous manner. Additionally the office staff are very fast to respond to emails, and I think the rates are very reasonable. We needed to add items to our inventory on the day off them move and that was handled efficiently also. I highly recommend these guys. I am not a person who generally writes reviews, but I felt compelled to in this case because the service was so excellent and they made my move so easy for me. read more
