I've used Metropolis twice now, one for a last minute hellish move out of NYC during Covid and one from NJ to CT. Both moves the team was amazing. Start to finish they literally couldn't have done a single thing better. They're fast and responsive when you submit a request, the booking process is so simple and straightforward, both times the movers were LOVELY people. Treated my things like their own, kind and professional, and also QUICK. Always on time, easy to communicate with, and genuinely helpful. Above and beyond what I expect in movers. And to top it all off: the rates are great ! read more

Made my move very smooth! Jake, Nate, and Jon were on time and made the process so easy. They were fast and the move was done in no time. I had some extra items which they had to charge extra for but the additional cost was very reasonable. Booked them based on their good reviews and it was true! read more

I used Metropolis last year when I moved and had such a good experience that I didn't even hesitate when deciding to use them again this year - they make the process so smooth and stress-free. Their website is super easy to navigate, they're extremely nice and communicative over email, and I felt like I was in good hands the whole time. This year my movers were Chris, Dorian, and Jonathan - they were amazing! I was moving from Brooklyn to Manhattan and the whole process was probably less than 2 hours. Will continue to use/recommend this company in the future!!!! read more

These guys are the best. I am VERY stressed about my ongoing move, and Metropolis arrived extremely prompt this morning, loaded everything up and out in a well choreographed manner between the 3 great movers, and were done in maybe an hour. On it's way it goes to storage. I was so impressed and de-stressed watching them, that I just booked them again for 2 weeks from now to take care of the 2nd half of the move I was originally planning on suffering through myself. They're worth it. Every cent. And those cents are extremely well-priced cents. They were the best quote I received, and the best moving experience I've used, hands down. Will be recommending them to every single person I hear is moving. read more

Metropolis Moving took REALLY good care of us from the start. Very quick, responsive, efficient, professional in email communications getting and finalizing the Quote, identifying our inventory to be moved, and getting a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for the building; they covered all the bases and questions up front. Clear and concise on details and expectations. Competitive pricing. BEFORE Move Day, texted with a confirmation of Date and Show Time, which was comforting. ON Move Day, communicated that they were on the way that morning, 30 minutes out -- then they were 100% on-time arrival, and they made quick and efficient work of the move out. Under 1 hour for a one bedroom apartment. It was like watching a well-orchestrated dance. They had the moves down! We used the BoxedUp system which is AWESOME. On delivery into new apartment, again, it was all "in" very quickly. Only issue we had was a couple of damaged lamps -- and Metropolis was responsive and swift in the resolution to get repairs done. All good. In addition they were all quite pleasant and friendly. We were in good hands, and they will see us again on our next local move! I recommend highly. read more

Incredible movers, highly recommend. I've moved 7 times in NYC and these were the best. Very easy, no hassle, super accommodating, on time, quick, and transparent. I will use again. read more

Cody, Klaude, and George were amazing! They were efficient and careful with all of the items. There was great communication throughout the process and everything was seamless. Will be using them for our next move and highly recommend. read more

Well, the need arose again, and today I had Metropolis move 10 very heavy cartons, etc. from Manhattan to Hoboken. As with our last move from NY to Hoboken in March, the Metropolis team was totally professional, proficient and personable. The team (Johan, Kavan and Randi) were incredibly easy to work with. And the speed with which they completed the move blew me away. As before, I won't hesitate to use Metropolis again in the future. read more

Had our move this morning to NYC and the guys were great. Overall process was smooth; good price, good communication pre-pickup and pre-destination and ultimately a very smooth easy experience. Would gladly use again read more

We had a move between states, and Metropolis had the whole thing done well in less than half a day! Communication on the phone and email prior to the move was great, and our team day-of -- Jake, Cathal, and Johan -- were super calm, efficient, and prepared. We would recommend Metropolis to anyone in NYC looking for a local move or folks moving out of the area seeking a good deal and reliable, trustworthy team. Thanks! read more

I was blown away by the quality and effectiveness of the pre-move communication. On the day of the move, the movers were fast & professional. read more

This is our third moving company in the last 15 months, with this trip being between the UPACK terminal and about 5 mi into Queens. I've learned a lot with these moves (most are not great memories) and for this one.... 1. They are registered with the DOT FMCSA government agency, so I trust they are who they are. 2. They are a moving company with their own trucks/movers and not a broker who finds you trucks/movers. 3. They had an online process that asked the right questions (inventory, location, how to get in and out, etc) and responded very quickly (same day). 4. The cost that was quoted was the cost that I paid, nothing hidden (I got hit with this before, not fun). It wasn't the cheapest (~$900 for 1br) but my past experiences taught me to gauge trustworthiness and use that as the primary decision maker. 5. There were 2 movers that came, good with communication, and they were able to assess the situation quickly and make good decisions on loading/unloading. No fuss, very professional, and worked with my anxiety and need to be there and around everything. I hope some of the above helps you with your move...these are things I wish I knew on my first move...but you live and you learn. read more

I have used Metropolis twice now in the past several years, moving from CT to NY and back again to CT. All of the movers have been efficient, kind, and just great people. We were lucky enough to recently have Jake, Darryl, and George move us to CT. They make the whole process seamless and less painful, so we can't recommend them enough. read more

They were amazing start to finish! The price was the price, no add ons! Jesse and George were friendly, helpful, polite , efficient and careful. We will absolutely sue them again and recommend them to all of our friends and family. read more

Don't hesitate to hire. I did a move from Brooklyn to Philly and the team pulled it off flawlessly. Three men showed up at my door professional, personable and ready to work. Start time was 8am, finished at 3. read more

We had an excellent experience with Metropolis from the planning stages to the actual move. They were super responsive in the days leading up to the move and happily changed my inventory list a million times, only making a minor adjustment to the original quote (which was already very reasonable). On moving day 3 men arrived on time. They were very nice and worked hard for hours. They also weren't sticklers about the inventory list and wound up taking a few extra things for us. Definitely recommend! read more

These guys are great. Very easy to work with, great communication, very respectful and careful. Jake, Brian, and Nico were excellent movers, and handled our large move with total professionalism and expertise. They were able to angle our sofa through our new front door with millimeters to spare. Great value, highly recommend, will definitely use them again for my next move. read more

Had a fantastic experience with Metropolis Moving. Had to move belongings of a 3 bedroom apartment a mile away to the new place. Could have done it over time but would have taken many trips. This company helped relieve a lot of stress with moving. Prior to moving day their response time was very timely and clarified every aspect of the moving process so there wasn't much that surprised on moving day. NATE and BRYAN were our movers and they were extremely cool and polite. They handled everything with care but we're also very efficient with moving. Like it's crazy how fast these guys worked!!!! I am really thankful to have these guys shoulder the craziest part of moving and I definitely recommend anyone in the NY metro area to book their next move with this squad! read more

Total garbage. They sent two college kids, one of whom was an obnoxious privileged elitist type who kept complaining about the work and seemed to imply it was somehow beneath him ("I'm a high performing English major from Minnesota. I won't be doing this for long!"). He continuously made random jokes that political correctness has run amok and that he isn't allowed to say anything any more (while making cringeworthy jokes that insult homosexuals and other groups). He broke my furniture (major crack in our bed frame), didn't apologize for it. Then at the end kept complaining about being hungry and asked us to order him dinner (we ordered him everything he asked for, which was quite a bit) then complained delivery was taking too long as he physically stopped unpacking or doing any work. Then he got angry and literally walked off the job, leaving his partner to pick up after him! Worst experience ever. Stay more than 6 feet away from these creeps. read more

I moved recently on one of the coldest days this winter. The movers (Alan, Darryl, and Klaude) were quick, efficient, punctual and super friendly! They had my 1 bedroom apartment completely moved in less than 2 hours. The price was reasonable. It was a very seamless process from requesting the quote, updating the inventory and general communication. 100% would use them again - and would recommend them to anyone looking for movers! read more

The most friendly and efficient movers ever! This was my first time moving with Metropolis, and safe to say they will be my go-to going forward. They were extremely communicative and accommodating during the coordination process--everything was crystal clear. Even though I wasn't as prepared as required when they arrived, they helped pack and move my extra items for a very reasonable additional fee. Zero judgment and tons of patience and understanding. Everything ofc within reason since they're on a schedule! A few items were damaged but I chalk that up to cheap IKEA material and working at speed--not bothered at all. Nate and Chris were extremely chill and enjoyed chatting with them in-between. Def go with Metropolis! read more

Bryan and his team at Metropolis Moving made for a seamless move to my apartment in Manhattan. They unpacked my Uhaul truck for my 1 bedroom apartment within 30-45 minutes, and were extremely professional throughout the process. I would definitely book them again for a future move! read more

This was our second move using Metropolis, and our second experience was just as good as the first! Corey was extremely helpful and accommodating as we planned the move and executed the quote. These guys know the NYC landscape and can handle the job. Steve, Darryl, Jake, and Nate were a great moving day team! They were careful, smart, efficient, kind, worked well with our building staff in NYC, handled the narrow street parking issues in Philly well, and were just plain lovely to be around. Would give Metropolis our highest recommendation for moves into, out of and within NYC. read more

Metropolis moving were great! I booked them to move some furniture from a Ubox Container in New Jersey to our new apartment in Brooklyn. There were extremely responsive and worked with me on the itinerary/cost prior to the moving date. With moving companies, I'm usually worried about potential increases to the cost on the day of moving. That wasn't an issue with Metropolis. On the day of the move, the moving team of Nelson, Chris J & George were on time and very efficient. It took them very little time to load and unload the truck at either end. This included taking furniture/boxes up two flights of stairs. Nelson, Chris J & George were all polite, friendly and accommodated any requests that we had. I would definitely recommend Metropolis moving to anyone in the area and will be using them again for any future moves that I do. read more

Awesome experience all around. Would absolutely hire the team again and recommend them to my friends and family. The movers were all friendly, respectful, and kind. They all had a positive attitude, which makes a big difference, plus they were super quick to move everything. A great value. We were not charged a dollar more than the quote. We saved over a thousand dollars by using Metropolis rather than a competitor. A+ experience in every way. read more

Jesse and John were very professional, hard-working, and efficient. Our move from Queens to Brooklyn was smooth and couldn't have gone better. We loved the ability to support a small local business. We hope to use them again in the future and highly recommend them! read more

This is my second time moving with Metropolis and it was another great experience. Both times, all of the movers were kind, communicative and efficient. For this move, Zach, John and Kavan were awesome! My partner and I couldn't believe how fast they could unload our stuff and all of our items arrived unscathed/undamaged. Also, their help disassembling/assembling our bed and couch was huge. Don't plan on moving again for quite some time, but would definitely use Metropolis Moving again and recommend to friends. read more

Hands down thee best moving experience I've had! Darryl, Nate & Louis were all very friendly and super calm. They put me at ease and went above & beyond, even taking my personal stuff down & loading up my car! They were on time and got right to it. They fit everything into my storage space and arranged it so I could get to my clothing boxes. Prior to my move, Barry, Chris, Corey & Uzi were in constant communication, explained everything and negotiated pricing with me asking if the pricing seemed fair (I mean who does that?!) No surprise hidden costs. Fantastic reliable company! read more

I used Metropolis moving to move from an apartment in bklyn to jersey during this crazy covid. AJ and his crew were on time with masks and moved us quickly and smoothly. They were really nice and professional. I would use them again. read more

I honestly would give them more than 5 stars if I could! The whole experience from start to finish was fantastic. I found their quote extremely reasonable and as I updated/added items leading up to my move Metropolis was very understanding and didn't up the price. My movers were Misha and Darryl, who were both super helpful and super strong! They cleared out several massive items from my fourth floor walk up in under an hour! Both unpacked everything at my new location with ease and again quickly! Total bonus was I loved speaking to both! Just so seamless and so kind all around - 12/10 would recommend Metropolis! read more

Corey, Adam, Chris, and Nate were so fantastic, I couldn't even believe it. They had everything handled SO quickly and competently, and were delightful to be around. I almost WISH they'd taken longer, they're such great company. I love that it's a small, family-owned business, and that everyone who works there seems to genuinely enjoy their job and the company. Nothing even a hair out of place at the end of the day, just an altogether flawless move. Cannot recommend them highly enough!!! read more

Moving is such a stressful time but Metropolis Moving made it a little bit easier. They were on time with a fair price and were communicative all the way through. Since COVID started, it was rough to find movers. They were accommodating and fast. I highly recommend them to anyone! read more

This is my second time moving with (and reviewing) Metropolis. Doing so because they are the absolute best. Had a move with Dorian, Jonathan and Chris - they were fantastic to work with. Thoughtful, efficient and extremely careful with every piece of furniture we had. You can't go wrong with Metropolis! read more

A friend of mine recommended these movers because she had worked with them a couple of years ago and found them to be friendly and high-value. That's the understatement of the century. We were blown away by Metropolis' kindness, professionalism, and speed (before the move and day of!). Despite an insane amount of stairs, they handled all of our items with care. They truly treated our home like their own -- taking care not to ding walls or damage a single box. On top of that, they were the highest value quote we received by a long shot. Jake, John, and Claude were amazing to work with and made what normally would be a stressful day an absolute breeze. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THESE MOVERS ENOUGH!! read more

George & Nelson helped my partner and I move today from Brooklyn, NY to Philadelphia, PA and it was hands down one of the best moving experiences I've ever had. They arrived early within the arrival time window and made sure to ask questions about specific items; their attention to detail was incredible. They moved things quickly and carefully down three flights of stairs and we were all moved out within 2 hours. After the drive, they had us all moved into our new place within 1 hour. They were professional, speedy, and careful which is a very rare mix. Do yourself a favor and hire these guys, you will not be disappointed! read more

Although I use reviews to guide my purchases, I'm not so good at taking the time to leave them. However, I found Metropolis Moving on Yelp so I feel the need to pay it forward. This company was the first I'd come across with stellar reviews so I called them right away. I reached out to some others for quotes, but already had my mind made up because Barry was so calm in walking me through the process which eased my anxiety. The move couldn't have gone any more smoothly although I had several items over the original inventory list (for which I received a fair price on top of an already fair quote). The team was communicative, professional, and had great attitudes towards the work ahead. I hope not to move again any time soon, but if I do I will use Metropolis Moving. read more

Metropolis Moving is a 5 star company here in NYC! They did my move swiftly and smooth! Zero issues! Shout out to BRYAN, DARRYL, CHRIS, and COREY! I definitely recommend them and will use them again! read more

We had used a POD to get our stuff cross country, but couldn't have it delivered directly to our apartment so we hired Metropolis to finish the move from Queens to Brooklyn. They were on time, friendly, and professional. Our move involved three different apartments, and when they brought one box to the wrong location, they immediately turned around and got it to the right location. The cost of the job was exactly as quoted. Highly recommended. Jerry 8/4/22 read more

Metropolis Moving really lives up to the 5 Star rating. I had an easy multi-state move with their team. They were fast, efficient and very communicative. Beyond that, they were just lovely to interact with. Thank you! read more

My girlfriend and I had a pretty simple move -- just a 1 bedroom going 3 blocks. All the same, Cate and Darryl were both on time, quick, and professional. They were very careful to make sure everything was packaged well and made it in one piece. They were by far the cheapest quote we got and we couldn't have been happier with the experience Also -- they were both very good with our dog. read more
