i contacted NYC Small Moves to move 5 items. Two benches (8ft and 4ft), a sofa (7ft), a table top (4x3ft) . I sent very clear photos and measurements of each item and was given a quote. The movers arrive with too small of a van and tell me they will have to make multiple trips and the price would be doubled. I told them this is essentially a scam or hustle and why would they bring a van that won't fit the items when I sent clear and concise photos and measurements. The one mover said he didn't get any of these messages, that his boss was the one who got them. So I suggested we call his boss who I sent the messages with photos and measurements and clear things up . This same mover that said he doesn't work for anybody and doesn't have a boss, which led me to ask well then if you don't have a boss, then you must have have been the one who I sent the photos with measurements the items so let's try to call the person who I sent the photos and dimensions to, at which point he told me that the person won't answer the phone and then he turned the ringer off on his phone. I would avoid these con artists and go with a real moving company since they are inept and will waste your time and or try to rip you off. They also showed up at 5 pm on a Saturday after I waited all day for them to arrive. I could have been contacting other moving companies all day and now it's after 5pm on a Saturday and I'm supposed to be out of my apartment by midnight tomorrow (Sunday). I'm even amazed at how bad they are at conning people. It's 'too bad you can't leave a negative 5 star review. read more

See all

Very competitive rate, and great service. I booked about 5 days in advance and had to make a last minute change in time, which they accommodated to in short notice. They came earlier but didn't mind waiting till the scheduled time, which was nice because we ended up moving a lot quicker. Mehmet and Han were super helpful and careful with the furniture, and everything was moved from one place to another quick and in good condition. They take cash, check(lol) and Venmo, which makes it easy for a lot of us. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Dealt with a guy named Hilmi and scheduled a move for a Monday. During the initial email exchange I gave him a specific time frame and it was agreed that the movers would be at the location and time specified. After having everything in order and in agreement, I received a followup email from Hilmi at almost 4:30 pm on Saturday cancelling my move because he claimed to already have someone else scheduled at my time. So, end of day SATURDAY, expecting to move furniture on MONDAY with no movers and practically no time to find a new mover, especially considering its the weekend. Incredibly unprofessional and irresponsible. read more

He made my small move easy & without stress. We communicated by text. He confirmed all the information and honored the exact time I requested. The pick up was in an office building & delivery at an apartment building. So it was a bit complex due to their rules. My complex required a certificate of insurance (CIO) which was an extra cost. I got a heads up when they were nearby. They worked with management in both buildings. I tried several of the same movers in Yelp. The others either no longer do small moves or wouldn't work with me to figure out the CIO issue. I would highly recommend this company. read more

Hired to help move a number of items for a party. Gokmen was great. Communicative, friendly, and very efficient! Was also accommodating when I asked for some last minute changes. read more

If I could I would give 0 stars. *** DO NOT USE THIS MOVING COMPANY!!!! They are horrible and shady. They may have competitive prices but you get what you pay for. NOT RELIABLE AND NOT WELL EQUIPPED! read more

Horrible, unreliable. Moving is a job you need to have a reliable guy for. I was trying to find someone last minute (day notice) to retrieve a couch and deliver it to me because they were moving that day. First of all he overcharges . Almost 250 just to deliver one thing which I was fine with but the day of he texts me saying he can't contact his guys they are sleeping (mind You we had an 11 am appointment) and he's texting me at 1045 saying he can't get his guy . Then an hour later he says he can get a helper at 5 but was unapologetic.. but at this point I already found someone else, thank god . You can't get careless insufficient guys for these types of jobs and that's what I found him to be. Book at your own risk. read more

What. A. Nightmare. Had my stuff packed and ready to go. It was a small bedroom move. At first, Hilmi was great and very responsive via email. I confirmed with him multiple times that everything was set. 0930 - Mehmet (or another guy) calls and says his other guy is sick but he's driving over now and will be an hour late. Totally cool, these things happen, I get it. 1040 - Mehmet and another guy call. They can't come but also can't explain why very clearly. I'm an immigrant myself so I am understanding of communication issues, but honestly I didn't understand. Then he says he can't come at all today. Then maaayyybee 4-5pm. Then says next week. I was incredibly confused and irritated. I had to move that day. I had taken off work and lost money. I contacted Hilmi. He says 'this guy is an a*shole. Sorry' 1100-1200 Hilmi offers to find someone else. I say ok. The driver is texting me nonsense. Hilmi sends me phone numbers to call but he was out of the country so couldn't speak. He also said bad reviews mean nothing to him, so I cancelled and am writing this in any case. Though he wanted to help and said his friend would call, no one ever did. He did not give me his friend's name or number either. I don't know how I was supposed to just trust this friend who did not call to get my details. In any case, this appears to be a fluke according to other great reviews (which is why I booked them) but prepare for an email lash out from them should you not be satisfied. read more

Terrific. I needed just a sofa moved from one apartment to another in Manhattan. These guys quoted me the lowest price (I received 5 quotes), and inquiries were responded to promptly. On the day of the move, they were on time and the move was completed quickly. read more

I had a wonderful experience with NYC Small Moves! Mehmet and Han were very kind and careful with all of my things. The price was very reasonable and they also offered to assemble some of my items at a great price. Overall, I highly recommend NYC Small Moves! read more

They moved a really heavy sleeper sofa and another piece, both of which had to be carried up a flight of stairs. They came quickly (this was an unexpected move) and promptly. The crew was pleasant and professional. We had some logistics problems on our side that they worked around. The price was fair. I would happily use them again. read more

One of the best moving experience I've had in New York City so far, the man is always available and quick, reliable and gentle on my furniture! read more

Completely unreliable. No communication. Just generally rude. I mean I don't know who runs this company but it's like the don't even want your business. Steer clear. read more

Very prompt and reliable service. These guys were the cheapest deal around. They delivered as promised. If you just need stuff moved with no fuss, these are your people. Thanks for the great work. read more

The two men who helped me move were amazing! Very professional, friendly and got the job done in a breeze. I wasn't sure what to expect, but they exceeded my expectations. Would definitely recommend. read more

The movers (Frankie and Givan (sp?)) were on time and took under an hour to complete the job. I hired them to help load my furniture and boxes into a U-haul and it cost less than $400, including tip. Another, highly-reviewed, company wanted to charge $700 minimum for the same job. The guys were friendly and packed everything securely into the truck. I would definitely use them again. read more

Had a great experience. Only called a few days ahead and they were able to help. They showed up on time, delivered without incident and charges a fair price. I would use them again. read more

Had a great experience with our move! My roommate and I were moving to two different apartments and the movers were able to accommodate that as well as make an additional stop to move my boyfriend's bed, tv, etc to our new apartment. The movers were professional, timely and courteous. The prices were extremely reasonable for a full days work. Definitely would use again and recommend. read more

YES. Tuna and his brother Turan were responsive/professional. Gave me a rate by phone, which I confirmed with a text exchange two days prior. Price was quite reasonable--note: if your move requires a COI (mine did not), they don't have that. Day of pick up, they asked address again; slight misunderstanding on drop off point (I had given Tuna the address/zip by phone). It was $20 more, but I still thought it was a good price. Both Turan and I agreed it's silly to quibble for $20 (hint: put all in text). The mover arrived promptly, early even. Nice guy Matt/Mehmet. The other guy was on time; arrived separately. They wrapped the sofa with plastic, not the cushions, but that was fine. I left them to get to my house and returned to work in midtown. They checked in with me when they dropped the piece. Quite seamless. Great job, gentlemen, THANK YOU!!! read more

These guys got me out of a jam when another mover bailed on me last minute. The guys were fast, efficient and careful with my stuff. Within two hours of my other mover letting me down, these guys were there to pick up my stuff. I was in my new place in less than an hour. read more

I hired NYC SMALL MOVES to transport a China cabinet from Long Island to NYC. Communication was excellent. I received an immediate response for a price, which was at least $100 less than other estimates. After emailing with Hilmi/Tuna, I learned he has just a cargo van and no insurance. NYC Small Moves is not a 'professional' moving company. But, it was fine for my needs and after confirming with Hilmi that he had the appropriate gear ( dolly, hand truck, ramp) to move my large piece of furniture, I booked 2 men for the move. He showed up at the pick up address on time but by himself. I don't know how he managed to put it in his van, but I knew it had to be easier in the suburbs than delivery in NYC. He arrived at my apartment on time but with only 1 small dolly. The wood part of the furniture was wrapped in blankets and shrink wrap, but the wrought iron was exposed. Thankfully, my boyfriend was able to come help move the piece of furniture with him or else I don't know how it would have gotten done with only one mover instead of the two that I booked. For communication, price and punctuality I'd rate 5 stars. For actual moving services...you get what you pay for. read more

a Fraud! no official contract or documents, no professional communication. avoid please

I corresponded with Hilmi from NYC Small Moves over email, and they gave me a quote for me move. We confirmed the date and time twice, but when the day came they did not show up. I reached out to them and they told me the movers had gone to another job and wouldn't be able to come until many hours later than the scheduled time. I told them to forget it and not come. This company is not reliable. Don't use them. read more

These guys are awesome. They offer moving services at a great and fair price. The guys that show up to do the move are super quick, and nice. I scheduled on a Friday and the guys were there 2 days later. Quick and easy! read more

I called NY Small Moves to move a sofa I got off Craigslist from Williamsburg to Jersey City. It was Memorial Day weekend and I needed a man with a van asap. I called in the morning and Tuna set up an appointment by text/phone call and were able to schedule the move/delivery THAT afternoon! The price was very fair and the two movers were very prompt and nice and texted me when they got to Williamsburg and also when they were going to leave to come to Jersey City. My sofa and cushions were all wrapped well in the green movers plastic. Great communication! On time! Thank you and I would highly recommend. read more

These guys are great. Scheduling was easy, and there was plenty of communication. They were very accessible and answered all my questions in advance of the move. They arrived on time and handled my items with care. They were friendly, fast, and very reasonably priced. Moving can be such a stressful process, but these guys definitely made it easier. Highly recommend them for moving in NYC! read more
