I rarely review on Yelp, but Simon at Metro City provided such amazing service that he deserves a great review.
I needed a piece of framed art picked up in NJ and shipped to me. After days struggling over the phone with many unhelpful couriers and shipping services, I found Metro City and left a message. Simon called back promptly and was helpful from the start. He was flexible about pickup times and conditions. He described how he carefully packs his items and kept me abreast of progress via email every step of the way. Although this was a small job I was also surprised to hear how competitive he was priced.
His pickup from a 3rd-party went seamlessly, and he shipped the same day. When the box arrived I was stunned -- it was the best quality packing job I've ever seen (and I receive hundreds of items a year). He followed up right through confirming my receipt.
I unequivocally recommend Metro City for any important shipping, especially artwork and precious objects. The price is a great value relative to the professionalism and quality of service. In my experience, Metro City has no peer in the NYC metro area. read more
