I'm not sure what term is the opposite of "white glove service," but Morrisey Moving is a contender. We bought our first home... Upon entering our apartment, one of the movers, before even introducing himself, wanted to know if he could take the window a/c units home for himself. They spilled coffee all the way down our landlord's steps and now she's asking us to pay for a $250 cleaning bill. They complained to us the entire day about having to move all the boxes and furniture (you know, they job they were hired to do). At our new home, they left garbage everywhere and our large furniture items upside down and left in shrink wrap. They damaged or destroyed so many pieces of furniture, including tearing a huge hole in our couch. They slammed down a box that was clearly marked fragile; every glass inside was carefully wrapped in foam and paper, but their extreme treatment still shattered a glass into a thousand pieces. And since they have the payment, they don't care; they refuse to answer or return our calls now. Oh, and they don't inform you until the end when they demand payment the same day that they will upcharge you if you try to use a credit card. I can't recommend other movers enough. Stay clear of Morrissey Moving unless you want the quality of service you can get from random bums on the street. read more

Stay far far away. Booked them a month in advanced for a NY to NJ move. Explained that the new apartment would be a 3 story walk up with big furniture and was quoted $136/h for 3 hours work minimum and 1 hour travel time included. The company only sent 2 young guys, one of which quit half way through the job. Broke my dresser and my makeup up vanity. Ended up quoting me $1300 at the end of the day, trying to tell me they did 9 hours of work when they only did 6 and also trying to charge me for 2 hours of travel time. Then began to tell me that I had originally told them that the move was NJ to NJ, and that I was being charged more because I was from NY. After confronting the owner with the text messages with Catherine that showed proof of the address being in NY and the quote I was given, the owner began to scream and curse me out over the phone (I am a 23 year old girl). They never discounted me for the broken furniture, and fought with me the entire time about the price as if I wasn't given a quote. Extremely unprofessional and untrustworthy. read more

2nd time using Helen's moving service. Easy to coordinate and plan the move with her. We got George and his team and they helped us move from Hoboken to Jersey City quickly and efficiently. No time wasting and hard working crew. Never had any issues and I highly recommend them for an affordable and dependable service. read more

Morrissey's made my entire moving expereince great from start to finish! Helen was very responsive and easy to coordinate with, and the moving team was phenomenal. They showed up exactly on time and moved me out of my old apartment and into a third floor walk up in less than three hours! The final cost was right in line with what Helen quoted me. Couldn't have been happier with the entire experience, would recommend them to anyone in need of movers and would absolutely use them again in the future!! read more

My entire moving experience with Morrissey was great! The movers were easy to book through Helen. She was extremely responsive to all my questions and requests. She was also upfront on all costs. The final bill was very straight forward and in line with the estimate Helen provided. The bill did not include any hidden fees or extra add on costs. Movers are very quick, efficient and professional. I would highly recommend this company for any move. read more

What a fast and easy experience with Morrissey's! The team showed up on time, positive, and put a smile on my face early in the morning! Takeya was super reassuring, and Jose and Douglas were efficient and ready to rock! Helen made the whole experience very organized, checked in prior to the move and left me with no worries. Would 100% use Morrissey's again. Thanks everyone :) read more

Very professional, very quick, arrived early for both packing and moving. We've had Corey for two different moves, and he's great along with the rest of the team. Helen is very communicative and accommodating. The packing team was very fast and organized. We have a huge collection of wine and nothing broke in the move. Actually, everything including all of our tableware, glassware and furniture remained in tact. Would definitely work with Morrissey's yet again. read more

Moved about a week ago and needed to hire movers to help! There are a ton of moving companies out there, but what drew me to Morrisseys was the good reputation they had within Hoboken and their quoted pricing was reasonable. As other's have said, Helen is the main point of contact. She was quick to respond to emails, but I found that phone calls were more helpful in this type of transaction. Booking the movers and the bins were a breeze. And Helen was patient with me when I couldn't decide if I wanted packing services or boxes from Morrisseys, and she followed up accordingly too. We rented the bins which arrived a few days before the scheduled move - they take up a lot of room, so best to make a space for them. What's great is you don't need to toy with making the box (tape, etc) - just a quick Lysol wipe - and they are ready for packing! They also seem to feel better for fragile items, and they stack on each other without damaging the box or the contents. Super easy in elevator buildings because you just load them only a moving dolly - into the elevator - and into your living area. These bins are heavy duty and can sustain a lot of pressure and force. I'm glad to report nothing broke during the move. Now moving day, I was told we would start around 9, but the movers and truck didn't show up until about 9:45. There were 3 guys that were assigned to our move - 2 did most of the heavy lifting while one stayed at the truck mostly apart from bringing out some smaller things like couch cushions. They were so efficient at bringing the bins out and did that in about 30-45 minutes. The long part (2.5) hours was protecting and moving the furniture out, which I didn't totally understand. I know picking up and moving heavy boxes is hard work and the guys worked quickly but also allotted some resting in between. What peeved me about the moving out process was they knew we had a big PAX unit from IKEA in our bedroom, but they didn't tell us until almost the last second that they didn't want to disassemble it themselves. It would have been more efficient if they moved the bedroom stuff out first to give us room to disassemble while they were moving the living room stuff out, but almost everything was already out of the apartment at that point. Luckily my husband is a pro at IKEA so it "only" took like twenty minutes, but Phooey - it's still more time that we had to pay for. Moving-in was a bit smoother, but we made sure to tell them earlier on to bring the PAX pieces up first before the rest of the bedroom so we could put it back together while there was space (and while they could move the other items for the rest of the apt in. The 2 guys again basically brought everything out of the truck again while the 3rd stayed with the truck and he needed to move the truck every once and a while because we were blocking a driveway entrance. When it was time to bring up the last piece (mattress, in mattress bag), all three showed up, presumably because they knew it was the end (and also tip time). This is when we signed all the documents (i.e. contract / insurance / etc.) which I thought was funny we were signing to all that at the end and not the beginning... I think my husband tipped a little bit too much in all, but I'm glad we didn't have to run into the awkward situation for them coming back asking for more as other reviewers have said. All three opted for no lunch after we offered, but one asked for a coffee instead. Overall - I think they could have been a little more efficient, but I'm glad I didn't have to lift a finger while moving -- packing and unpacking was a whole different story *sadface. That being said, I think the price all-in we paid was more-or-less fair. It ended up being more than we expected, but less than some of those other quotes out there. Pros/Cons: -Offers all kinds of services including Bin Services and Packing Services -Reasonable pricing -Prompt to bin drop off; late on moving day -Didn't break anything -Truck is huge! -Could have been more efficient -Did not need to buy or stop for lunch Ultimately I would recommend Morrissey's and will likely hire them again. Protip: Get all your packing supplies (boxes, tape, foam, bubble wrap, mattress bag, etc.) before hand. The moving company charges more for it than you'll find elsewhere. read more

Amazing, friendly, professional people. Helen is a saint. I found myself trying to plan a move without a locked down moving date. Helen worked with me and managed to find me two movers to help me out. Stacey and Brandon were SO HELPFUL. They moved everything with care, not only for the furniture, but also for the walls and floors of the apartment I was leaving AND the apartment I was moving into. Professional and laid back, they made a stressful move effortless, as Stacey said: "Work smarter, not harder!" read more

Great experience! Would highly recommend. The team was super efficient, allowing my family to focus on other pieces of our move. The price was incredible as well! read more

These guys are great! I can't think of any reason to give Morrisey's Movers any less than five stars. We all hate moving and dealing with an expensive or incompetent moving company just makes things worse. Rest assured you won't have that problem with Ralph and crew. My girlfriend called for a quote and Ralph came over later that night. He took a look around, broke down the pricing and told us exactly what the charges were for. The price was so reasonable, that we didn't even bother shopping around. Ralph's crew of four showed up promptly on the move date, introduced themselves and got straight to work. We stayed out of the way and let them do their thing. They were careful with all of our furniture and belongings and were done in about 2.5 hours. It was also great to see them having a good time, cracking jokes and talking with us as they worked. Don't even bother looking for any other moving companies. Between the price, professionalism and ease of this move, I recommend Morrisey's Moving to anyone looking to move. read more

This company was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I was a bit panicked planning a last minute move and Helen was so nice and helpful when I initially reached out and was able to accommodate my date - she instantly reassured me. My movers were AMAZING. Sebastian, Jose and Bob are the absolute best! They arrived right on time and were super patient even though I was still throwing last minute items into boxes. They were quick, professional and thorough and really went above and beyond to help me. My dog was stressed about the move and each and every one of them was so nice about indulging her and playing with her throughout the moving process (she tried her hardest to distract them - she loved them). They were the nicest guys and they are my go-to's for any other moves I may encounter down the line. They got everything out of the old building and into the new building seamlessly - everything was in great condition, but more importantly my dog was delighted by them. She cried when they left! Thanks for an awesome job Helen, Sebastian, Jose and Bob! PS: The pricing was super reasonable. No reason to use any other moving company. read more

We recently moved within Hoboken and had the pleasure of having Morrissey's moving company as our movers. Prior to the move they were very responsive to all of our questions. The owner , Ralph came to the apartment to do a free estimate and was very thorough. They also delivered wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap and tape the week before our move so that we could pack. The manager Helen in the office was very responsive via email and very helpful answering all of my questions. On the day of the move the movers showed up on time they worked quickly and efficiently. All four men were very nice and extremely careful with all of our very breakable furniture. We were extremely pleased with how they handled all of our items as well as how carefully they moved around both apartment buildings as to not damage any walls or the elevators. They also completed the entire move in the estimated amount of time and their price was so much better than any of the other quotes we received from different companies. I would definitely recommend Morrissey's to anyone who is moving within or out of Hoboken. Thank you again! read more

Had a seamless move this morning. I wasn't moving too much stuff but had a decent amount of larger pieces of furniture to move into storage. They showed up about 30 minutes early so I wasn't entirely ready but they helped take my TV off the wall and pack it. The entire move was done in two hours. I misunderstood the estimate and how the extra supplies get calculated in (tape and wrap) and was just slightly short on the cash. Helen let me pay what I had which was just a few dollars short. All four of the men were very friendly and professional. Would definitely use them again. read more

Helen was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. On moving day the crew came right on time and took great care to pack the furniture, mirror, tv etc. Overall, the move was smooth and super quick! Plus they offer a great hourly rate. Would definitely recommend. read more

There really is no reason to use any other moving company. These guys are great! The guys showed up early, were very friendly, professional, and quick. The 3 guys were in a good mood the whole time. They moved a 2 bedroom apartment to a house a couple towns over in about 3 hours. There is nothing damaged, not even a dent in a box. The guys treated my stuff like it was their own. I couldn't have asked for an easier move. Morrissey was the least stressful thing about the whole home buying process. I could not be more thankful to them. Hopefully I won't have to move for a while, but if I do, I will use Morrissey! read more

Due to my work and other circumstances I had only one day for my moving which fell on Memorial Day holiday. I was so nervous trying to find company that not only works on weekends but will help on that holiday. It was SO difficult to find such company! Helen from Morrissey made it very easy to plan. She was very accommodating to my work schedule and arranged apartment visit according. Ralph was patient waiting for me coming home late for an estimate and gave me a great quote. Honestly I was expecting an extra charge for weekend/holiday service but it didn't happen. WOW! Here came the day of my move. All helpers showed up straight on time despite pouring rain that morning in Hoboken. Guys were working fast and careful with my furniture and my delicate huge mirror making sure not to damage anything. They even helped me disassemble all my bed room furniture in no time and put all back together at new place! WOW! Helpers were cheerful and energetic. They made all my stress disappear shortly after they started the work. NOTE! COMPANY DID NOT CHARGE EXTRA FOR WORKING ON MEMORIAL DAY! DEFINITELY WILL RECOMMEND TO ALL MY FRIENDS! read more

Used Morrissey's to move from one apartment to another in Hoboken. Helen, who will be your main point of contact, was extremely helpful and proactive throughout the process. She was knowledgeable about Hoboken-specific issues, which helped ensure things went smoothly. I rented crates to pack my belongings, which wound up working out very well. The moving crew was great and the whole thing took 4 hours. I've already recommended them to a buddy who is moving next month and will absolutely use them again. read more

Helen was super easy to work with - sent all required certificates of insurance, kept me in the loop, etc. The team was on time, efficient and finished my move under 4 hours. Nothing damaged and couldn't have been easier. Thank you! read more

I just finished my third move with Morrissey moving company. As always is what a pleasant experience from beginning to end. Helen was great to work with. The four movers were all great to work with. Stacey was a great in leading the other moves and made sure the move went quick and smooth. Even with a 4th floor walk up on one end of the move they did it faster than the estimate. I will use them again. read more

My husband and I used Morrissey's Moving Company for our move this week after they were recommended by two of our friends (separate households) who used them for previous moves. We were moving from 2 different locations (downtown Manhattan and Hoboken) into another apartment in Hoboken. They were extremely prompt arriving at my husband's location first thing in the morning and had our entire move finished extremely quickly and for much less than other moving companies would have charged. Would highly recommend and use again for future moves! read more

Morrissey gave me by far the best price quote of any moving company I called (not to mention at the most expensive time of the year to move). Helen was extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating in setting everything up and ironing out all the details. The movers themselves were simply wonderful. Amicable, efficient, and never made me feel like I was in the way. I had wonderful conversation with them for the whole three hours and they still completed the job in the exact time they said they would. I have already recommended this service to friends and will continue to do so. I'll also be using Morrissey again next month when I move out of my storage space and feel completely secure that the job will be done right. read more

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with Morrissey's Moving Co was so great that I wanted to let others know. Our move time-frame kept moving around, but Helen & team were super accommodating and helped us through it all! We used their bin service which was fantastic - we requested the bins earlier than usual and Helen provided them right away. The movers were friendly and efficient. We wanted to start our move early (e.g., 8am), and despite the fact they usually start at 9am they showed up early for us. Their pricing is very reasonable, they provide great service, and they are locally & family owned - why would you go anywhere else? I highly recommend this company! read more

Morrissey's moving company is hands down the best I have ever hired. The movers were professional and took extreme care with my items! They were also very friendly and experienced. The price was perfect and was on point for what the original quote was for. They definitely earned their days work since I had a 350 pound couch that they moved up 3 flights of stairs. I will definitely use them the next time I have to move! read more

I just called this company to get an estimate on our move. The lady who was on the phone was very rude, and had a very mean attitude from the beginning of our conversation. But I was still patient and being nice. But then she was yelling at me for not being able to understand what she meant. I would never ever hire a moving company with such awful customer service. read more

2021 update-Morrissey's Moving Co., (MMC), remains the best! MMC came to move me out of an uncomfortable situation and they were, as always, the consummate professionals and made the day so much easier and safer for all. MMC followed very strict COVID protocol and wore masks the entire time. The morning of, the accommodated several last minute changes at my request and even added an extra stop to pick up furniture I bought. They worked hard to ensure there was no damage to the hardwood floors, porcelain tile, or the house In general. This is the 4th or 5th time I have used MMC and I will never use another company again. Not only were they fast, reasonably priced, and extremely careful with my home and belongings, they were soo supportive of me during a really stressful time. Do not waste time with any other moving company. Hire MMC today! read more

Had a great experience with this company. Their price was $200 less than other quotes I received, which made me extremely happy. Everyone was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. The movers were on time and moved everything quickly, even some small odds and ends I had left for the last minute. Highly recommend! read more

As I prepared to move, I feared the worst . I called Morrissey's and I spoke to Helen, she was great, she made all the arrangements and made the date I needed possible. The movers came on time, took control handled all my belongings with care. I did not have to do anything. It was so smooth, no stress. I will make sure that I refer this company to others. Thank you Helen. read more

The movers are incompetent. My furniture and appliances were damaged. The movers cannot be trusted. Many of my belongings went missing during the move. read more

Efficient in moving, but that's where the benefits end. I had some valuables that started in apartment A and did not end up in apartment B. The company claims nothing was left or taken, but I know these items were taken out of my original place to be loaded to the truck. 100% would never use again and I can't say they're a trustworthy business. read more

We moved from 1 bedroom apartment to a 2 bedroom within Hoboken and had a great experience! It was super easy to make arrangements with Helen who we communicated with leading up to the move. The crew was very friendly and moved all our items quickly and with care. The bill at the end was exactly what we expected, no sneaky surprises. When the day comes to move again, we will definitely use Morrissey again. read more

I used Morrissey's Moving Co. for my move within Newport (I was moving from 1 building into another), after comparing a lot of movers. I found them the best bang for the buck - they were quick at responding, had a professional, efficient and reliable team of movers, had a very competitive rate with no hidden charges. They provided the landlord with the necessary insurance paperwork, made sure all furniture was properly wrapped and protected, and took great care of everything that was marked fragile. I would definitely use their services again.. read more

**** ORIGINAL POSTED EDITED BY AUTHOR AFTER BEING IN TOUCH WITH OWNER **** I contacted Ralph who replied below. He was very understanding of the situation and refunded the me the extra fee. I've changed my review to address this. Thanks, Ralph! I feel comfortable recommending this service. They were on time and did the job fine. Thanks! _____________________________________________________ We hired them to offload a uHaul truck. Their minimum time is 3 hours, so even though we didn't need three hours worth of work we went along with it. The movers they sent were on time and did the job however the company tacked on a bunch of fees they didn't tell us about before we hired them. Even though they got paid for 3 hours work and only had to do two, they charged us an extra $15 for "travel" and another $10 to pay by credit card! I can't recommend them. read more

I called Morrisey's Moving as I needed to rent a heavy duty hand truck to move a large item. Ralph Morrissey called me back and allowed me to use one of his hand trucks at no cost. Both Ralph and Helen were very nice and I really appreciate what they did as the local stores did not have a hand truck to move a 500 pound item. Thanks again and I will be using Morrisey's Moving Co next time I move. read more

Stay Away!! We booked with them months ago and now less than a week before they move, they called me to tell me "sorry, we can no longer move you on that day and don't have the truck!" This put our family in such a bad situation. The owner and Helen didn't even try to figure out a way to make it work on the day they confirmed and promised. It's so last minute that its very hard to find another mover in time. Extremely unprofessional and horrible service. I just want to warn people to stay away because I wouldn't want this to happen to any other family last minute! read more

Amazing company to deal with! Honest, will not try to take advantage of you, fair and reasonable cost. Helen and the guys (I've used them twice in the past year) make moving easy and pleasant! I called several local companies for quotes on yelp and they quoted prices that were on par with moving an entire house. I was moving a one bedroom apartment. Needless to say, they have a customer for life and I will recommend them to anyone who needs moving services!! Well done and thank you!! read more

I had a wonderful experience with Morrissey's! The customer service, while maybe a little rough around the edges as other reviewers mentioned, was extremely effective and organized. The movers were very friendly and efficient. If you are moving in Hoboken, this company is the best value. They do not charge a bogus "travel" fee as most other moving companies in the area, and they really provide professional service. Overall, they made the move very easy and affordable for me, and I will recommend them to all of my friends! read more

Had a great experience with Morrisey's. They were very responsive leading up to the move which I really appreciated. The crew showed up right on time, wore masks, and were so efficient. I still can't believe how fast they were able to move me into my new apartment. Their services were very budget friendly too which helped make it a great value. I definitely recommend Morrisey's! read more

Was called four times by Helen the day before being told "Christy, we can't move you tomorrow." I kindly told her each time that she must have the wrong number. After answering four calls, I let her go to voicemail. Very nice lady, but hard to talk to. The movers were actually early, which was great, however, only one of the guys, Cory, really seemed to be working. Shout out to him for great service. I just wish the other two had been as conscious of time. Was told I would get four guys but only ended up with three. All in all, I was satisfied with the move. I really just wanted to recognize Cory for being a great employee. Thanks! read more
