Alan and his crew provided a great moving experience. They packed everything safely and loaded and unloaded the truck promptly.

I was quoted $450 for 2 guys and 2 hrs with travel included. My fiancé and I had the items packed for Alan and his driver. We waited 5 minutes for my building to reserve the elevator but after that, they wanted to do a walkthrough even though I had to submit a list of everything. Fine. The walkthrough took 10 minutes and they said they'd be back with equipment to move however as you can see in the photos, we were waiting 20+ minutes for them to come back up to start. I didn't need much moved and yet it took over 3 hours to load the truck. The storage unit was two buildings down the block and it then took them 10+ minutes to get there. They weren't aware but we were watching them the entire time as they did nothing. Then after arriving at the storage unit they abruptly told me that I have to pay upfront before unloading and hit me with a $900+ bill based on their estimation of how long it'll take to offload. Their response was to talk to Jace (some guy on the phone) while the clock is running and they're getting paid regardless. Jace wasn't helpful at all as I explained the situation and my frustration with this process and the promotion that was mentioned but never offered. I left this experience feeling robbed and frustrated with the lackluster effort of Alan and his driver and I wouldn't recommend their services to anyone. I trusted their rating when I selected them over others but hopefully my experience will prevent a similar situation for someone else. I have timestamps in the screenshots purposely for you to be the judge. read more

they sent a truck that was too small for my move. Movers crammed most of my stuff in, but there were a few items i had to leave behind because it didn't fit in the truck. Then movers took a long time (about twice the time it took me to drive from original house to new house). They also damaged my massage chair and only agreed to pay half of the repair. Would not recommend. read more

I should have checked the recent poor reviews on New City prior to wasting my time with an estimate. When planning to move, I did a virtual tour of my place with Brody. He then quoted me an estimate 2-3x higher than other moving companies. He sent me paper to sign off on, but never responded via email for 2 weeks when I messaged back several times with concerns about the price. The Vice President of the company, Ryan Daubert, then texted me saying he was "following up" and wanted to know if I had any questions. I texted him back on 5 separate days without a response from him....yet he left read receipts on the whole time. Two weeks after my initial estimate was emailed, Brody finally called me back to ask if I had questions. Needless to say, I went with a different moving company. I've had friends use New City 2-3 years ago with great results, but it seems as their new management is disorganized, overpriced, and unable to communicate properly. read more

Our experience was, overall, good. Julio was the crew lead and the guys did a pretty good job. I chose New City for a couple reasons, one being that I had a discount via my job for the free use of wardrobe boxes and free tape. (That last was even more useful than I expected because we had them packing for us, and I was mentally tallying how many rolls of tape they were using and almost considered telling them they didn't have to use so much tape.) They arrived around 7 am or so and started working, and it took a few hours with the packing and then getting stuff on the truck. The move was complete by about 5 pm, I think. They were friendly and good at their job. I was somewhat annoyed that some of the things I'd directed them to place somewhere were put in a different location, since there's now the possibility that I have to move them and that's part of what I paid them for. However, I am reconsidering some of the layout which may minimize the re-moving of boxes/items, and overall they did a good job. I would consider using them again. It wasn't cheap by a long shot. And don't be surprised if you're asked to give a $800 or so tip--you can tip but obviously you don't have to tip that much. I certainly wasn't expecting that and it wasn't in my budget to give them anywhere near that amount. They packed up a bunch of stuff for me because it was just near impossible for me to make much progress with a clingy 11-12 month old who was not keen on letting me do the work and obviously couldn't help with any of it herself. One of the reasons I chose them, besides not having to pack things that could hang in a wardrobe box, is that they were able to give me a pretty good estimate and they could do it all on the day of the move; I called The Professionals and they were talking about coming over a couple days so that they could pack and then do the move. That was just too disruptive for us, so New City got my business. read more

New City Moving - Movers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I'm sorry to have to rate this company so low because I was quoted and charged appropriately to the contract. Also, my two movers, Miguel and Jonathan were very kind, courteous, and helpful. The downsides - I received four phone calls after I scheduled my move asking me to verify my email address. These phone calls were made from different numbers that I did not have associated with New City Moving. I called the company directly and asked why I was receiving so many calls because I thought it was a scam- they said they do have several numbers associated with their company and took my email address, again. I also received a call prior to the move to ask if I had any disposables - which I did and I felt the price was comparable to other companies so I asked them to take that as well, which worked out well. The biggest issue I had was two small holes put in my wall from moving furniture from the second floor to the first floor. Miguel and I took pictures and he reported it to his company. I also reported it when they called me for final payment before they would move the furniture into the new home. I was informed that I would receive a claim request at that time. When we finish signing the contract, a notation was made about the two holes before signed the completed move contract (although Miguel attempted to check the box that no damage occurred on the move and I made him change it and enter the two holes before I would sign-I'm not sure if it was an oversight on his end or intentional, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt). It has now been three weeks and 5 phone calls to the company, an email and a response to a text asking me to recommend their company and still have not received the claim. One of the calls I spoke to Andy, operations manager, and assured I would be sent the claim. Left 2 messages with him on the unidentified VM I called from the " direct number" I asked for when I initially spoke to him with no return call or email with claim. I'm extremely disappointed and felt I needed to post to let others know and I would not recommend in case you incur damage during your move-you will be responsible to pay it yourself even though they claim to have insurance coverage. read more

I used this moving company 3 years ago and had an overall good experience, this time not so much. As many other people have mentioned the company used very shady communication and changed the price for the move on me 3 times. The first was the original quote which was very reasonable. The second time (a few days before the move) I get spammed called by an unknown number, no voicemail left, while I'm at work. I finally take the call and it's someone from the moving team insisting that I need to virtually sign a document before the move can happen. Not only was the price listed substantially higher than the original quote but the agent would not allow me to hang up, read the document and sign. They insisted if I did not sign while on the phone my move would be cancelled. With only 3 days before the move I sign the thing. Now the day of the move I am in another state as was planned and communicated with their team. My mother was helping me out by managing the movers. After they get everything to the drop off location I get a call from the same agent who is now saying the price has increased even more and I need to let them charge my card now or they will not unload my things. Of course they charge by the hour so the longer I argue with the agent the more I'm getting charged. I let the payment go through and then immediately got a call from my mother who was in tears. Apparently the movers were giving her a hard time and stated everything would not fit in my storage unit. They say they can fit everything but my couch to which I accepted as I just wanted the whole process done and over with. When I finally checked my things, much more than my couch was missing. They took lamps, a table, and my $1000.00 ergonomic desk chair. Of course they also charged me an additional fee to remove the items they claimed would not fit. To put the cherry on top, as my mother had just finished crying and was getting ready to leave, the movers asked her for a tip. Needless to say I told her not to give one. read more

In my experience, it's generally pretty easy to deal with people who do their jobs in physical reality. Like movers. We generally know what the job is and it's obvious what has to happen. What I do not expect - but had to tolerate from New City - is an itinerant PTSD ward whose emotional/energetic needs the customer expected to ascertain and coddle. New City abandoned a simple move the morning it was scheduled to take place - after having half-loaded and then unloaded the truck not once - but twice. Can't make this shit up, folks..... My 92-year-old mother from her apartment to an assisted living facility - with a 1 pm freight elevator appointment at the destination. New City arrived late, with the crew not having received my instructions for parking and egress at the start point. Because New City fails to provide contracts in advance, the "crew chief" - a crazy-eyed character missing half his teeth and wearing his pants halfway down his legs - demanded I sign my life away on an iPad; i.e., I had zero opportunity to even read what I was signing - but whatever......sign away... Next thing you know, the office phones me to say that the crew is unloading the boxes already loaded onto the truck because someone on the crew claims they're being "obstructed". After I explain that all "paperwork" is executed, that everything is staged perfectly for them, and that in fact I am facilitating their process, they get back to work. That is, they re-load what they had unloaded, and proceed to load more and wrap furniture. Then "crew chief" calls me over to inform me, as he must, of a questionable bolt on a piece of furniture: "I have to show this to you." "OK - you showed me. Does this thing prevent you in any way from moving this piece of furniture?" "No." "OK. So is there anything further you need from me at the moment?" "No." "Then proceed." At that point, "crew chief" flips out and tells me he's done - and he once again insists that his crew unload the materials already loaded onto the truck and unwrap all the wrapped furniture. Evidently, he doesn't like my attitude - which says volumes about him and very little about me. Suffice it to say, these idiots abandon a job they partly completed twice, having wasted several hours of their own time - and more importantly, my time. To add insult to injury, I get a call from some "district manager" asking me to explain to him "what's going on over there." "You tell me", I replied. Then this clown says the problem is "bad energy". But no worries .... I moved Mom to a guest suite at assisted living, with her stuff to follow in the rescheduled move wit read more

New City/All My Sons was great to us the first time we used them(March 2025). We had to then move again in a hurry a few months later (May 31st 2025), and they were terrible. We were sent an estimate that was not followed, a truck that was too small and a crew that was missing one person. Two of the three crew members barely worked, and the move ended up taking 9 hours when it should have taken 6. We tried to get a hold of management many times and have not received a call back after promises to right the wrong. Will never use this company again, or recommend. read more

This company is a complete scam. I scheduled a move with them back in April for June 1st and paid a deposit. Moving day came and went--they never showed up. No calls, no updates, no one answering the phone despite multiple attempts to reach them. When I finally got someone on the phone the next morning, they casually told me the earliest they could move me was in two days. Two days?! After leaving me completely stranded with zero notice? Unacceptable. I should've been their top priority, especially after their screw-up. To make matters worse, they've still not refunded my deposit. From what I understand, the company was sold recently, and the new owners clearly don't care about customers or professionalism. Avoid at all costs. I wish I could give them zero stars. Horrible, stressful experience--I wouldn't wish it on anyone read more

***DO NOT BOOK A MOVE until you read this honest testimonial.*** What was supposed to be a happy move has turned into a week of anxiety and frustration. We booked a Saturday move from our condo in the city to a house 20 miles away. After using the company once before, we had hoped for the same experience. We were quoted an estimate of $2,857 for a 3.5 hour load, 3.5 hour unload and 1.5 hours of travel and the estimator mentioned multiple times that the move would likely take closer to 6 hours. We originally were going to pack ourselves and 2 days prior decided to have kitchenware and closets done for us, we called to request this and were told this wouldn't be a problem and the additional cost would just be the extra hourly rate for packing time, we were never given a second physical quote. We were told we would have 5 movers. On moving day, they promptly arrived at 8:00am and we were surprised to find that we had a team of 4 men and 1 woman. A few hours in, it became clear that the team was not moving efficiently. At 1, we were informed that one truck was not going to be enough, and work slowed even more. The foreman spent the next 30 minutes coordinating a 2nd truck and the rest of the crew was operating short handed. At 1:30, 5.5 hours after beginning, one of the men had to leave the job to get a second truck. At this point I started to move items from our downstairs storage myself to get the process moving faster. I moved an entire storage closet from the basement to the truck, which was included in the estimate. The trucks finally left our condo at 3:10pm, 7 hours after arrival. It was a 60+ minute drive to the new house. The team already looked defeated and exhausted at this point. It was 8:00 pm when they finally finished, and the clock kept rolling for an additional 30 minutes of cleanup. Then it was time for the final bill, $6,446, which included $1,880 of packing materials. We almost hit the floor after an estimate of $2,857! We immediately spoke to the dispatcher Maria who informed us her hands were tied on billing and we would be forced to pay and discuss with a manager on Monday. Monday came and went and we never received a call. On Tuesday we called and spoke with Yolanda who said we would need to speak to Gio in the claims department and she would open a case. It is now Friday, 6 days after the move and we have not received a call back. We have called daily and are clearly being given a run around. WE REVIEWED DOCUMENTS FOR THE FINAL BILLING THIS WEEK AND MY PARTNER'S SIGNATURE WAS FORGED UNDER THE SHIPPER SIGNATURE LINE BEFORE INITIATION OF THE MOVE. We feel that the need for a second truck was inappropriate given their video estimation process, which clearly showed the contents of our condo. We feel we have been scammed and cheated out of our money. We are pursuing all avenues to get fair reimbursement for the poor estimate and the difference in our payment from the estimate. Ironically, a person named Wendell verbally stated that the estimation system had glitched. This is a ridiculous statement because Devon movers gave us a very similar quote using their own estimation. Given that we have not heard back from anyone at New City Moving, our next step is contacting the BBB because there is clearly some inappropriate business practices happening, and we want to encourage everyone else to be very careful with this company. To make matters worse, this final bill came to us after I had handed a generous $800 gratuity to the foreman. Final cost, $7,200 + refreshments provided throughout the move. -------------- UPDATE 7/31 (2 weeks after move): We have been continually given the run around on phone calls and emails. The local Chicago office directs us to corporate "All my sons, Business development LLC". We have been told we need to speak with Geoff National Claims/Customer Care Center but he has not returned our emails or calls since a failed attempt 7 days ago. We have been unpacking boxes and are finding extremely wasteful use of packing materials. This is just an insanely bad experience. ------------- UPDATE AFTER THE COMPANY REPLY BELOW... We have tried calling the number directly during normal business hours and nobody picks it. It goes to a voice mailbox and that mailbox has been "full" for 2 weeks. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY! read more

I want to start off by saying my 2 movers were so great, hard working, and professional. The problem I have is the intake call when scheduling the move and receiving the quote. I have never used movers before so I don't know the hidden fees and numerous charges. The girl on the phone said I would be charged $X per hour... and that's it. No labor charge, no materials charge. I was quoted around $300/$400 since I had only 3 things to move. The movers get to me and say since they have left over supplies from the move before they won't charge me for tape and wrap. Great? I never knew I would be charged for that. I got the bill for $760. I see labor charges of ~$550. I was never made aware that on top of the hourly charge are labor charges. This sucked because I only had enough cash to tip the movers based on a $400 move. I asked to speak to someone about this and the guy on the phone sounded like he was reading off a script. Great movers but multiple fees. read more

DO NOT hire New City Movers. Our experience with them was absolutely horrific from start to finish, and the way they've handled our formal complaint since then has only made it worse. We were quoted $200/hour for a 3-person crew and truck, with a move scheduled between 11am-4pm. The movers didn't arrive until 5:30pm, with no communication from the company. I had to reach out myself to get any updates. One mover even received a phone notification soon after the move began saying that he had exceeded his legal 11-hour workday limit -- a serious safety and liability concern. Even though we had submitted an inventory and specified we had a two-bedroom apartment, they showed up with a truck that wasn't large enough and claimed they were unaware of the size of the job. They took *NINE* hours to load what they could, and didn't arrive at our new place until 11:30pm, and then tried to pressure us into paying $2,400 -- nearly four times our original estimate of $600 to move a standard 2bdrm apt 15 mins west. They told us if we didn't pay it, our belongings would be taken to a storage facility and essentially held hostage. I was presented with updated paperwork, pressured to sign it without time to read, and told they wouldn't finish unloading the truck unless we agreed to the inflated rate. At this point it was the middle of the night, and we were forced to scrape together nearly $2,000 just to get the first truckload delivered. We ended up hiring a different moving company -- the incredible A Move To Remember, LLC -- to retrieve the rest of our belongings and finish the job. They confirmed that what New City Movers did was almost certainly in violation of Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) regulations, including overcharge limits and the right to withhold delivery. I submitted a formal complaint directly to New City Movers, and have since been communicating with Andy Barriga from their operations team. He has now twice told me he would follow up by a specific time and then failed to do so -- once again proving that this company cannot be trusted to do what they say they will. If you're considering using this company, DON'T. Their practices were misleading, exploitative, and deeply unprofessional. They created a dangerous situation for both their staff and customers and then failed to take accountability for any of it. Also, they were recently bought out by a company called All My Sons, and I believe they are retaining the New City Movers name because of all of the previous good reviews attached to it. Don't let them fool you. If they don't resolve our complaint, I'll be pursuing this through the ICC, and I strongly recommend anyone else who's been harmed by New City Movers' conduct do the same. If you need a contact there, Adina Dunn at adina.dunn@icc.illinois.gov is the person we've been talking to and is aware of the situation. read more

Dear New City Moving Team, I am writing to formally express my deep disappointment with the service I received during my recent move and to file a claim for a damaged television and other issues related to the move. Before the move, both of my televisions were fully functional. I now have clear photo evidence that one of them--previously in perfect condition--was damaged during the move. The screen now shows black lines as if it were dropped. I was told by Omar that his manager instructed him not to use blankets to cover the TV and that it would be "fine." As you can see, that was clearly not the case. This is extremely upsetting, especially considering I tipped the movers $150 on top of a $1,139 bill. Additionally, the movers failed to reattach the legs to my recliner chair, leaving it incomplete and unusable. I've attached a photo of this as well for your reference. To make matters worse, my move was abruptly stopped midway due to glue traps I had in my home--traps I use as a personal safety precaution. My home is clean, with no pests or infestations, and there were absolutely no signs of any activity. I was told the move would be canceled and that my items might be returned. I had to speak with three different managers just to get the move approved, even though most of my belongings were already on the truck. This delay cost me over an hour and felt like a tactic to increase the total cost. At no point was I informed that glue traps would be an issue. Again, how I maintain the safety of my home should not have interfered with your movers completing their job. The handling of this situation was unprofessional and unacceptable. I am requesting immediate assistance in filing a claim for the damaged TV and the incomplete setup of my recliner. I expect a prompt and fair resolution. Photos of both issues are attached. I have also left a voicemail regarding these concerns and expect a follow-up as soon as possible. I texted the mover as well photo attached. If this matter is not resolved quickly, I will be sharing my experience across all social media platforms I use. Others deserve to know the type of service your company provides. read more

I hired New City Moving, Chicago for a cross-country move in September 2025. Before booking, I confirmed that packing blankets would be used, but on move day everything was wrapped only in plastic wrap. When my items arrived, nearly all of my furniture had visible damage. I went through their claims process, which was handled according to their stated policy. If you're planning a move, I'd recommend confirming packing materials in writing and reviewing the coverage details ahead of time. read more

BUYER BEWARE - New City Moving practices operates with borderline fraudulent business practices. They will underquote you, bill you for lunch time, and purposefully / deceitfully extend your move to last the entire day (billing per hour). Further, if they damage your property (in my case, broke the floor of my home) they will become unresponsive and leave you in lurch. I can understand still choosing them in spite of this review and others, you just need to be aware that you are signing a deal with someone who is intending to con you. read more

I have used NCM for every move I've had in my nine years in Chicago, and I am appalled at both the services provided and the lack of support following. At the time of this review, I have contacted the business five times (four emails last week and one phone call 4/14 where I was promised a supervisor would contact me that afternoon, which never occurred). I did not receive services that justify a $1,000 move. I urge everyone to believe the other low-rated reviews and avoid NCM at all costs. (Cost is the operative word here). I hope NCM will contact me to take responsibility, but I've received nothing when posting this review. The timeline of inferior experience with NCM for my 3/31 move: 3/11, the move is scheduled for 1 pm, 3/31, and NCM is aware of my strict timeline for freight rental at my new building. Moves can only occur M-F 8-5. The freight was scheduled from 2-5. 3/30, I completed the final move confirmation on the phone. I explained the size of the move (less than a one-bedroom), what packing materials I would need NCM to bring (bubble wrap for mirrors and other precious items), and restated the strict timeline of my freight rental. I was assured everything was noted and good to go. March 31st, Movers were scheduled to arrive at 1 pm. The freight elevator is reserved from 2-5, for $300. 1:54 pm, I called NCM after no word from the movers. After contacting dispatch, they told me they were running late due to an earlier move in the suburbs and would be an additional 20 minutes late. She also mentioned that she had taken down my initial scheduling and made several notes about the items that needed to be moved and the strict schedule we had to work with. 1:56, the moving crew called me to say they were late due to a move in the suburbs earlier that morning, and traffic getting back into the city. He claimed they would be at my apt within 20 minutes. 2:39 the manager of my condo building reached out to request an ETA, which I had made very clear to NCM in but my initial request, first phone conversation with NCM, during the secondary phone conversation with NCM while giving a list of the move items (which I clearly stated would need bubble wrap for five mirrors and a precious vase, which NCM did NOT provide during the move), and a final reminder while I was on the phone with NCM after I called to inform them the movers were an hour late on 3/31. 2:40 (1 hr 40 min late), the movers arrived for move-out. They did not bring bubble wrap for the fragile items I requested, but assured me it would be "fine" 2:41, my building manager let me know where they needed to park and again reminded me they needed to be done and out of the building by 5, per HOA rules and regulations. All parties knew this well before the move date. The reservation was for 2-5. 4:00, I called NCM again as the move-out had not been finished. I requested they send additional help, but Jase Wollfolk, who became the contact person at that point, claimed no other assistance was available. I asked Jase to contact my building to ensure the move could finish, which he did. ~4:40, the move-out was completed, and I left for the move-in location. I spoke with Jase again, who assured me the building manager had approved an additional 45 minutes for the move. 4:50, my building manager told me that though the extra 45 minutes had been approved, the movers needed to be there before 5, or the move would need to be rescheduled. 4:55, the movers arrived at the building. The move-in took approximately 2 hrs. I am waiting to hear of any ramifications this rule-breaking will cause. The lead mover had me speak with the dispatcher, who claimed the only restorative action that could be taken at the time was a refund for the materials used, about $40, which were not the materials I had requested (bubble wrap). Failure of the company to plan for travel and typical traffic should not constitute an emergency on the customer's part. I explained the strict guidelines for freight rental in my building multiple times. Due to negligence by NCM, I was almost required to reschedule my move had my manager not allowed the exception. I hope NCM will contact me to take responsibility, but I have not received any contact as of posting this review. read more

I used this service for a move, I had used them once before so I wasn't too concerned. The difference being this time, their movers broke my TV. Onsite, they assured me New City Moving would cover the cost as they were at fault. I tipped them well as I was expecting good customer service. New City Moving instead sent an aggressive lawyer to intimidate me over calls and emails and just accept their offer of $18 as compensation - what a joke. Unless I had video proof that the movers were at fault, it was non-negotiable. Who records their full move? How creepy would that be. Hiring this company is the same as hiring 2 local college guys, there is no credibility and additional assurances you would think come from a "legitimate" business. Never using again and I don't recommend. I rely on reviews myself to make a choice so just sharing my experience. read more

Terrible experience. This company has totally changed. They used to provide good service but now they are all about ripping people off. I purchased a repair program that would cover $5000 in damages and the amount of damage they made to my items mounted to over $7000. They only offered $230 and basically said that if I didn't take that offer, they would offer nothing at all. Stay away from this company! Not reputable. The overcharge, lie about their replacement/repair program and are negligent. The last time I used them, they broke 1 item but at least offered a repair. This time, they broke 2 items that were quite expensive and gave an arbitrary value to the items, despite my receipts for the items purchased, photos of the damage, and current price of items on the market. All the communication I sent was neglected. Claims never called me back despite numerous emails, calls and promises by management that they would call me back. Worst customer service by far. STAY FAR AWAY. read more

This was our first time using New City Moving, and will no doubt be our last. In fact, this move was such a bad experience we were going to leave it behind us. But New City Moving kept reaching out, asking for referrals. We used New City Moving to move out of a 2 bedroom apartment. We paid for 3 movers, they sent us 2.5. Pedro, along with 2 hard-working movers, showed up 45 minutes after the estimated arrival time. First thing Pedro asks for is a bandage. They haven't even started moving and he's already injured! In fact, Pedro was sitting in the truck on his phone much of the time while the other two loaded. My wife even asked the other guys if Pedro was working, they just rolled their eyes. Despite me telling the rep who booked the appointment, as well as Pedro on the day of, that we had to be out of our apartment by noon, things moved at a snail's pace. They took over 3 hours to load out our 2 bedroom apartment. When we informed Pedro there were a few things in the garage to get, he said he would get them. A while later, I see a moving dolly and one box sitting alone in the garage. In the interest of time, I carried them over to the truck. I asked Pedro if that was theirs, he seemed shocked that I had found them left in the garage. Completely clueless! When we arrived to the house, Pedro seemed more interested in checking out the fish pond than in moving things. We were quoted an estimate of 3-4 hours, they went 6 hours in all. Then asked for a tip! read more

MARIE- thanks for the reply below, but when will you contact me? ***TRIED TO CALL THE NUMBER THEY GAVE 844-238-8715 6 TIMES- NO ANSWER- THEN - "MAILBOX IS FULL"** Extremely Disappointing - Not the Same New City Moving I scheduled my move (just 4 miles) three months in advance with New City Moving. I had used them five years ago and had a fantastic experience, which is why I chose them again. Unfortunately, this time was completely different--in the worst way. According to my receipts, it seems the move was actually handled by All My Sons Moving, a company with a 1.5-star rating on Yelp. Whether they were subcontracted or acquired by New City, the service reflected that low standard. While one or two issues might've been understandable, the sheer number of problems made for a frustrating and stressful experience: 1. They arrived 30 minutes late and tried to charge me as if they were only 15 minutes behind. 2. They stripped the screws on my wood dining table. 3. They dragged the tabletop of the solid wood dining table across the ground until I asked them to stop. 4. Tons of dents and scratches in walls. They nearly knocked out three light fixtures, and I ended up having to closely supervise the rest of the move just to prevent more damage. 5. The lead mover complained constantly, which made things uncomfortable. I offered cold drinks and tried to be friendly, but it was very awkward. I get that moving is hard--that's why I hired professionals. 6. They worked inefficiently, moving just a few boxes at a time instead of fully loading the freight elevator and unloading all at once. 7. They also didn't use a ramp for the four stairs (like I had seen most movers do), but still blamed the stairs for delays--at $200/hour, this really added up. 8. A wood drawer unit was completely broken. 9. My dresser was also damaged. 10. Most of my moving boxes were crushed. 11. So sooo many other items (couch, bed, plastic bins) were scraped across the ground, shattered, had fabric sliced, etc. 12. The claims process is a mess. You need original receipts, must save all packaging (which the movers took), and before any payout (at just $0.30 per pound per item), they first try to repair the damage themselves. Overall, this move was expensive, inefficient, and damaging--both to my belongings and my trust in New City Moving. I'm sharing this review to hopefully spare someone else the same headache. This is not the company I once knew. read more

See all

Don't trust the positive reviews, things have changed with New City Moving recently. We have used this company in past years (2022 and 2024) and had good experiences, and then used them again this past month and are extremely disappointed. Our move out was scheduled for June 30th at 1 pm. No one ever showed up so after many phone calls and attempts to get an answer over the next few hours, we were told they would come before 6:00 pm. Throughout this time, no one was communicating updates with us and they were brushing us off and non-apologetic. Once again, no one showed up. Finally at 8:30 pm we got a call from a mover who asked if we still wanted them to come that night. I asked if they even do moves that late and he admitted no, and also that he didn't have a crew. It seemed as if he was trying to get us to cancel our move, but we did not so he then gave us multiple dispatchers personal cell phone numbers and after another hour of trying to get in contact with someone, they rescheduled us for the next morning. The moving crew did a good job which is the only reason I am even giving one star. They stored our belongings for a few weeks and then our move in to our home was also scheduled for 8:00 am. This time we did receive a few updates throughout the day since we had the movers cell phone number and were able to check in. There ended up being a problem with the driver timing out, so by the time another driver arrived to complete our move, it was 3:00 pm (7 hours later than scheduled.) Once again once they arrived, the moving crew was hard working. This is clearly a problem with management, overbooking, and lack of communication and professionalism. We have reached out to the company to share our negative experience, and they offered no apologies and nothing to make it right. ***EDIT: After posting this review, Ryan from the corporate office reached out to talk about our experience. He offered a partial refund and was extremely nice and apologetic about our experience. He stated that the company is making efforts to improve these challenges moving forward, so I do hope this helps future customers. Thank you Ryan! read more

DO NOT HIRE THEM! They completely failed to show up on the day of the move--without any notice or explanation. We received no call, no email, no communication. We had to call THEM to find out what was going on, only to be met with an incredibly unprofessional and dismissive attitude. The woman we spoke to actually laughed at us multiple times while we were trying to get clarity on our move. A few days later, I called to request a refund of our deposit since they never provided the service. Again, I spoke with the same representative, who was just as unprofessional. She claimed that we were the ones who canceled on them (mind you we did call day of the scheduled move when they were over 3 hours late to say "don't bother"). Then she claimed she told us that we were given a time frame window when we scheduled (we were never told this). Do I want to be petty and post her name here? Yep. But I won't. This experience was beyond stressful, disappointing, and completely unacceptable. Avoid this company at all costs--there are far more reliable and respectful movers out there. read more

I made the mistake of not reading the newest reviews. Never again will I hire this company. The movers themselves were fine and curtoious but the way the company runs things is terrible. I had a move window from 1-3 and they didn't show up until after 5. I moved a one bedroom apartment and it took 3 guys about 5 hours which was also insane. No apologies from the manager or any type of concern. And from seeing the other reviews, this is not a one time deal. Don't do it. read more

The guy I talked to on the phone was really misleading in the price. The guys who showed up were phenomenal. The one guy that decided to make himself their leader was a hug a hole. Super unpleasant to deal with, really arrogant and aggressive. Over charged me even though I and my friends were helping them throughout. Kind of a garbage company. read more

Do NOT use services from this company! They charged me $1,200 for a move that was a 5 mute drive. I had already packed everything into boxes and furniture was ready to go for a quick move of bulky items. After loading sofas and my bedroom set, the movers claimed they were done. I reminded them of the televisions that still needed to be moved, but movers said they needed a break and refused to load my televisions. All and all, they didnt finish moving all of my belongings, but charged me $1,200 for the move that they didnt finish. I tried calling customer service, but they wont amswer or return calls. Horrible experience. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! read more

Horrible. Cancelled on us last minute with no apparent rhyme or reason - leaving us with less than 24 hours to find replacement movers (new tenants arriving July 1, we must be out by 12p June 30). Management actually hung up on me and my husband more than once. Took our $500 deposit and said there is nothing they can do. Probably the busiest day of the year to move, we spent most of the day finding a replacement. No one should have to go through this the day before a big move. We will be disputing the charge. We booked them over a month in advance and confirmed a couple days before our move. Unacceptable service, zero accountability. Do not put your trust in these people. read more

I have opened every card board box in my storage unit. One box is long gone. Stolen? Did it fall off the moving truck? The box with the two dark red sofa pillows with swirls that become roses and my favorite floral coffee mug (photo of gift box attached) is this my "punishment for not buying their extra insurance - you know like gangsters and "protection" money payments?! read more

Unreliable and Unprofessional - Avoid at All Costs!!! Our experience with New City Movers was nothing short of a disaster. We were scheduled to move on June 1st between 1-3pm and not only did no one show up but no one even had the decency to call-not before, during, or after our scheduled window. We were completely stranded on moving day with no explanation, no apology, and no follow-up of any kind. This failure left us scrambling to find last-minute help, costing us significant time, money, and stress.It's baffling and frankly unacceptable that a company in the moving business--a business built on logistics and communication--would completely ghost a customer during one of the most time-sensitive and stressful events in life. We gave New City Movers a chance based on their reputation, but this level of negligence and disregard for customers is inexcusable. If you're considering using them, think twice. You could end up in our situation: abandoned on moving day, out money, and with zero accountability from the company. read more

I scheduled a move for June 3, 2025, I called on June 2, 2025 to confirm pick up time and was told that I was not scheduled, yet I received a text confirming my move. The person with whom I was talking with was apologetic but said there was nothing she could do. I had already paid the move out fee and the move in fees including arranging times for the elevator. I know many people have given this company 5 stars. I will not be using this company again and have already told friends and family members to choose another moving company. read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience. We scheduled movers from this company weeks in advance for a very important move today between 1-4 PM. They even confirmed the day before. Then, out of nowhere, they canceled on us last minute--claiming they had overbooked and could only offer us a refund or a reschedule for July 3rd. This was the only day we had available to move, and we had already paid a deposit. They gave us no flexibility, no evening option--nothing. It was clear we were bumped for a better-paying job, which unfortunately seems to be a common practice with some larger moving companies. If you're okay with a company that might cancel on you at the last second because they got a better offer, go ahead and book with them. But if your time and plans matter to you, stay away. You're risking your entire move falling apart. Don't make the same mistake we did. Avoid this company. read more
