Moving is never easy. It is probably one of the most stressful events to have to go through. I have moved several times throughout my life so far and have been through all kinds of experiences because of it with moving companies. What happened on Friday, September 17 was by far the most pleasant move I have ever experienced. Vaja (I hope I am spelling his name right) and his partner arrived at 9:15am, and despite the lack of parking options on that street, was able to get going with the move. The loading up at pick up point was executed quickly, and off they went. There was a lot of traffic getting from Manhattan to Brooklyn so at the drop off I had to wait for them a little bit, but I knew from my own ride into Brooklyn it would take them a moment to get there. When they arrived they had the help of one additional mover, and together all three got my stuff into the storage space in no time at all. Any challenges earlier in the day between parking the truck and traffic soon disappeared with smiles and good cheer as the job completed. The job was done by 12:15pm. No supplies were left behind at either pick up or drop off. I would say based on the performance of not just the movers but in the organization process, and customer service given, that I would work with Simply Moving and Moved.com again should I have to move in the future. ***HIGHLY RECOMMENDED*** read more

When they arrived they were all ready to change the price, I was ready for them, I called there manager so the stop trying to change the price. I watched them removing my things and my husband watched them packing our things. My husband stepped away to use the BATHROOM, in that time 3 boxes was lost or removed. My husband's very expensive cardigan, alligator shoes and a lot of other items. I hope at some point someone steps up and said stop. This is the only thing we can do now, is to let other people know so they can protect themselves. So the morel of this story is to have enough people, and stay diligent. Ronnie read more

DO NOT USE THIS CO. They are thieves: unresponsive, unprofessional. We moved from NJ to GA, the truck supposedly "broke down". We did not receive our belongings for over a week. Once delivered (3) pieces were missing. It is December 5th, our move was in August. The claim was just resolved. I can't reiterate enough, do not use these movers! read more

This review is long overdue but I hope it will still be helpful. Our experience was terrible, simply terrible. There were far too many failures to list, but here are just a few (yes, there are more!): (1) Extreme damage to many of our possessions including destruction of my son's desktop computer and my other son's laptop computer, damage to an antique clock, furniture, clothes, and more, (2) They arrived, someone at the building told one of them that the elevator was not reserved for them (it was), I asked the crew to wait while I cleared it up, it took me 10 minutes to do that and when I returned they had left. It took a long time to get them back. (3) Short handed crew of three caused extreme delays, I ended up doing a ton of work myself that day, (4) I paid extra for them to pack but they provided one very slow packer, and he often dumped things into boxes without packing material leading to a lot of the damage, (5) One of the three crew members seemed to be on his first job and so was of little help, (6) The crew fought with each other, no doubt because of the pressure they felt because they were understaffed, (7) Due to the lack of proper staffing we got to the new building (just three blocks away) hours past the move-in window with the first box entering the new apartment at 7:45 pm & the last box at midnight. The super in the new building had to cancel his personal plans and I had to pay him out of my own pocket to stay around, & he and my new neighbors were extremely upset, and for good reason, (8) They caused damage to our new building's walls, (9) After spending a lot of time trying to get Simply Moving to pay for the damage, they offered to cover a small percentage of it, and then they stopped responding to my emails. This move really cost me. read more

good service, quick, and efficient. Came on time and gave a heads up when arriving. Came at the start of the scheduled service time.

Disaster moving experience! Used simply moving because I knew the owner's wife. It made no difference! My friend had to get a lawyer and sue them over damaged antiques! read more

DO NOT USE THIS HORRIBLE COMPANY!! I hired Simply Moving in December to move me from Astoria to Westchester. I paid for three people for five hours at a rate of $175 per hour. I already moved most of my stuff so this move was just for the bigger furniture. I had everything ready to go, even the mattresses were wrapped. They showed up on time at my apartment with three guys. I did not watch them all that closely because I hired professionals to do a professional job. They were out of my apartment in less than an hour and a half. When they showed up at my new place in Westchester an hour after I arrived (we both left at the same time), only two guys showed up. I asked what happened to the third guy and they said he got sick due to stomach issues (bogus answer). They started unloading everything and I noticed much of the furniture was not wrapped and the shelves had not been taken off the bookshelves or the buffet. During transport two chairs were severely damaged. As they had not taken the shelves off the buffet, a shelf pin was lost. Instread of picking up the office chair, one mover just pushed it throughout the whole house and ended up scratching the floors in multiple places. One mover worked on building the crib, which he took apart for transit. He used a power tool for the allen screws and put it together wrong. He ended up stripping the allen screw while put together wrong and made the crib completely unusable. When I made a claim, I received very poor responses and no responsibility for the movers poor service. They only wanted to reimburse me very minimally because I did not pay for extra insurance. They then tried to make me sign a waiver I would not post a negative review in order for me to get my credit. Then when I refused and changed the wording to what I thought acceptable they ended up CHARGING me instead of crediting me. I got my credit finally but I am not happy. DO NOT USE THIS HORRIBLE COMPANY!! read more

Moving can definitely be stressful, but not with Simply Moving. Found them on Yelp, read their reviews, and booked them. The team was on time, super friendly, and super efficient. They wrapped every piece of furniture and had my 1 bedroom place inside of a truck in 30 minutes. I definitely recommend them. Not only were the movers great, but Mariah, who answers the phone, was super helpful with providing my quote, and answering my questions. read more

This review is 2 years overdue. We were moving from NYC to SF, and went through Unpakt to book with SimplyMoving. Sadly, when our stuff arrived in SF, almost every single piece of furniture suffered significant damaged and/or malformation. As a result, we had to discard multiple pieces of furniture as they were no longer usable. The best part, they offered $150 for the damages incurred, which to date (2 years later), they still haven't paid. Details & photos below. Proceed are your own risk. Item_104 - Bench:  bench surface suffered from deep cuts, despite of protection blanket Item_115 - Nesting Table:  one of the 4 legs was severely bent Item_119 - Work Bench/Desk:  one of the 4 legs was broken off Item_124 - Bar Stool:  one arm of the single piece of solid steal stool was bent Item_128_129 - two shelves were completely broken down and twisted Item_136 - Painting:  large aluminum steel picture was bent at the corner Item_140 - Lamp Shade: shade is punctured and malformed read more

TLDR: The movers were unprofessional and tried to cheat me. This was my first time booking movers. I was worried, but my brother had recently used them and had a great experience, so I was optimistic. Unfortunately, I had such a terrible experience that I'm afraid to hire movers again. I've never been the type of customer that raises my voice or complains to the manager, but my experience was so bad that for the first time in my entire life I did both. The 2 guys who came to pick up my stuff were late, out of uniform, slow, rude, and extremely unprofessional. On the plus side I saved money, cause I didn't tip them. There were a number of issues I could mention, but the biggest issue is when they claimed they had to park really far away, so I would have to pay an extra "Long Push Fee". They said I could either pay them $350 cash under the table or call Simply Moving to confirm and get charged $600-$1500. When I insisted on calling the company to confirm the fee, the movers got angry and told me: "You just F-ed yourself". The manager said the Long Push fee was only $150 and apologized to the movers, saying that because I had booked them through a third party website, they wouldn't be able to charge me more than that. The movers told me not to let this affect my tip. I went downstairs before they moved my stuff and noticed there was a parking spot close to my building, but the movers claimed they couldn't park there. When I went downstairs again after they had moved almost all my stuff and saw that they had actually moved their truck closer to my building, the movers claimed they had JUST moved the truck closer a few minutes ago. But why would they go through the trouble of moving the truck closer just so they could move one small dresser? In my opinion, they probably moved the truck closer before they moved any of my stuff, which means it wasn't a "Long Push" at all. When I called the company to complain, the movers got angry and threatened not to finish the job, claiming they had "just tried to do a favor for me as a friend". LOL ok dude but I feel sorry for your friends cause apparently you like cheating them. In Simply Moving's defense, they can't control every action of every employee that works for them and they did try to make it up to me. After I complained to the manager, Simply Moving didn't charge me a Long Push Fee, refunded me 20% of the price, and allegedly fired the guys who tried to cheat me. The moving guys who delivered my stuff 2 days later seemed ok, but TBH I was just happy nobody yelled at me. Miraculously, my stuff arrived mostly in tact, except for my mattress. The plastic cover was torn and the cloth cover was dirty, which made it look like it was dragged or dropped, which makes me wonder why I spent money on movers when I could have dragged and dropped my mattress to a rental truck all by myself. Obviously, you may have a better experience than I did with this company, but I personally won't be hiring them again. If you do hire this company, take what the movers say with a grain of salt, especially if they're trying to charge you extra. Confirm any extra fees with the moving company. Also, I would highly recommend booking them through a third party booking website that restricts the amount of extra fees that movers can charge. read more

This is a super frustrating review to write. I've used Simply Moving twice and the first time had no issues. It went so well that I booked them for my next move two years later. I hired them to pack and move everything from my one bedroom apartment to another apartment about 5 blocks away. This time they damaged several pieces of furniture (including a custom built, solid wood dresser that will cost $1000 to replace), broke many dishes, and generally packed things so poorly that it was almost as if the movers had never done this before. First I found a leaking box which turned out to be a half empty box of toiletries that were just thrown into a box with no packing material or organization whatsoever. Multiple containers were packed upside down and leaked all over everything inside the box. That was a fun hour of cleaning. Next I opened two nearly empty boxes. One had a single face mask wrapped in loads of packing paper - that's it. A medium sized box for a single face mask... The next box had two tiny items inside - again, loads and loads of paper but not much else. After another hour or so I started removing the items they had put on top of my dresser and noticed the enormous gouges and irreparable damage. It was clear that someone had put the dresser top down and dragged it off the edge of the truck or on the ground. We immediately emailed Simply Moving about this and were asked about the type of insurance we purchased. Meanwhile, we continue unpacking and begin to find more and more damaged items that were clearly from negligent and careless handling. Somehow I doubt I'll ever see a penny for the thousands of dollars in damage Simply Moving did to my things. But I'll certainly never hire them again. read more

Jose, Alex, and Johnny from Simply Moving were awesome! They helped me organize my things into my tiny storage unit that was 4x5x10'. With the 10' ceilings they were really amazing in making everything stack and fit in a safe way. I think I packed everything well enough that my fragile items will have survived, but I guess I'll only know for sure after everything's unboxed after the next move. Very pleased and their rate was very fair. They took obvious care to make sure my items didn't hit the ground hard. It was greatly appreciated. These guys are 3D Tetris pros. Would recommend!(the $280 coupon from Manhattan mini storage was ultimately the deciding factor, but I was lucky that they happened to be such talented and great guys). read more

Simply Moving - Storage unit 4x5x10 - Movers Near Me - Bronx, New York

If I had to describe this move in a few words, I would say "went like clockwork" I had to move my items from on Queens to Manhattan on a tight fixed budget, which I made known beforehand. They promised a 12-2PM window for pickup and arrived at 12:01PM. In less than an hour they arrived at the drop off destination. With plenty of time to spare they unloaded and moving the items into my storage unit quickly and efficiently. The entire process took less than 2 hours way under budget. I'm very happy with their professionalism and level of service. I highly recommend this firm to handle your moving needs. read more

THE WORST! What started out as good--the admin staff were professional, friendly and responsive (especially Carlos, the estimator), as well as offering overnight truck storage...things train-wrecked as soon as the actual moving crew came to pack up & move our 3000 sqft condo. **40 PHOTOS ATTACHED of Simply Moving's truly horrible work** So how did things go so horribly sideways? I can tell you without hesitation: tipping. From the get-go, the foreman tried to strong-arm us by stating: "I don't want my guys working for anything less than 15-20%". This was reiterated each day--packing (3/14), loading (3/14) and delivery (3/15)--and even circled by him on the signed paperwork for added emphasis to his demands. Having worked in many service-based industries thru college (waiting tables, bartending, etc.) I have always been a significant tipper--25-30% on a meal is the norm. But food service is another industry. Further, I've moved from coast to coast multiple times in my career, and have never had anyone dictate to me their tip amount. To the contrary, virtually every crew/company I've worked with (United, Bekins, NorthAmerican, etc) has been happy to be tipped, particularly at 10% per person (with double or more for the foreman). With a $6000 price tag for the move (which was literally 500 feet across the street), his absurd 15-20% demands would mean adding $1000-/+ to the already sizable price tag. So not only was he insulting and belligerent, his delusional amount was laughable. [Yet even after being insulted and dealing with intense attitude, I still tipped a total of $650 for the move] Then, we discovered the aftermath. After spending a full week trying to get to our furniture, make sense of the packing, and locate basic life essentials, we just opened the last box this past weekend--and we're even more outraged. The damage, complete lack of logic, care, packing materials and respect for us and our belongings is just stunning. And to think this crew was described this as one of their "A-teams" is mind-boggling. Fortunately we documented everything and have attached 40+ photos of damaged items, shocking displays of non-existent packing and total disregard for even the basic moving standards (i.e., labeling the boxes with the correct room or even one of its actual contents). Some specifics (also see 40+ photos attached): - Significant damage to our rare 1924 Steinway M Grand piano. The fact that the damage was so obvious to the crew (it was the very last thing they reassembled)...yet they said nothing. This comes after watching them store the piano on it's side for 36+ hours. We have a specialist coming out to view the damage and discuss options. - MOST SHOCKING: The deliberate packing & stacking of boxes in the atrium 6 feet high which COMPLETELY SEALED OFF ACCESS to not only our clothing and essentials, but our couch & 5-year old's glider chair. Even though there abundant space behind them to spread the boxes out and leave a path, the Simply Moving crew kept jamming them in tighter and higher...to the point where I was forced to crawl across tops of boxes day after day to search for every-day essentials, clothing & toiletries. - Complete failure to use packing materials (only plateware, glassware & vases got wrapped). While not everything unprotected was broken or needed repair, nearly every item was scratched, marred or dinged in some way. - Refused to keep like items together--things were simply thrown into any box with space, regardless of their origin or destination. We found kids toys, dog food and kitchen utensils all in a single box - Electronic equipment such as TVs, monitors, 27" iMac, laptops and printers were all put in boxes and then filled with other items - Expensive designer pillows were used as padding for a concrete table base - 3 designer lamp shades were crushed when stuffed in full boxes with zero packing materials - The lack of proper labeling made the move exponentially more difficult and cost us DAYS of lost time searching - EVERY wardrobe box was so overstuffed that you could not remove a single item--had to cut open boxes - Large rolling bins for oversized items were stuffed with zero packing or care--then literally dumped out on the floor We've contacted Simply Moving and expect to be be refunded significantly and have repairs made via their insurance. We also immediately reached out to our bank who are prepared to reverse charges if the matter isn't settled equitably. ------- UPDATE: Here's what the sad & shady owner of Simply Moving just emailed: "As stipulated in the contract you have signed, our insurance covers any damaged or missing items by a standard valuation of 60 cents per pound per article. Based on average weight, the exact formula brings you 200$, however as a gesture of good faith, we would like to refund you a total of $600." WOW. Could they be any sleazier? SAVE YOURSELF THE STRESS, COST & LOSSES and take your business elsewhere. read more

Update as of 1/2020: AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING JOB! I have to say I was weary of trying them again because of the first time, but I am happy I did. This time everything was beyond professional. On time, efficient, great movers and overall stress free move. From the beginning of the inventory check it was super easy and great to communicate with. When the team arrived they were right on time and quick. Most of all careful with everything. Nothing got scratch, nothing was broken, everything perfect. The movers were all super nice and professional. Worked so hard and really did a superb job. They broke down the bed, put it together, helped with the dismounting the TVs, just did it all! Highly recommend!! - - - - - My first move with this company was great that I even referred friends. Not sure what happened in the last two years, but I have to say this is the worst crooked company I've ever worked with. Where do I start? The move was supposed to begin at 9am. The guys got there around 930 (30 min late) and started their move. We have a one bedroom apartment and we packed every single item excluding the big items like couch dresser and bed. Everything was labeled And in the living room to make it easier. By 12:00 pm they had managed to take out the couches and most furniture. They told us they need just about 30 min-1 hour to load it up and we should head to the new apartment to welcome them. 4 hours later they are no where to be found!!!! We started calling them at 1:55 pm about an hour + of their estimated arrival. They said the reason they were late was because they stopped to take a long lunch because they were tired. And no I'm not making this up. Mind you, I had Even asked and offered to buy them lunch and drinks while we were there and they declined multiple times. I'd also like to add they had two storage elevators to work with and a service entrance reserved just for them with the truck parked directly outside of it.. so 4 hour delay?? The best part is we csll the company and they are telling us they won't finish the job unless we decide to give an additional $400.00+ dollars because the movers were late to another job!! Completely crooked!! We fight with dispatcher, fight with the movers, and at 4:45 pm they show up at the new apartment, which was only 25 min driving distance. Uws to Fidi. When they get there, they send one guy up who says again, they took a long lunch and long break and apologize for being late and will get started at 5 again. At this point we are furious and decided to just start moving the stuff ourselves. They were coming up with one box or literally one lamp in hand at a time! Such a waste. Such an unprofessional experience. I'd also like to add that the same company was commissioned to my friend we referred them too and he had a similar experience the same exact day before! Late two hours, holding furniture until they offered more. Disgusted. I respect that this job is labor intensive and not easy, but we did our part, paid in full, and they did not do their part at all. Don't use read more

Had a successful move using this company. The crew of 3 were extremely efficient, worked their butts off, and were all very friendly. The prices were very fair and competitive and definitely way better compared to other moving companies we called for a quote. I would definitely look into Simple Moving for your next move, it's no-frills, no-nonsense and they get the job done in a great way. Highly recommend. read more

Simply Moving - Movers Near Me - Bronx, New York

My husband and I had a horrible experience using another company when moving in to our apartment. We knew we didn't want to use them again to move in to our new house. After some research I found simply moving which seemed to have pretty good reviews. Our move today went FABULOUSLY!!! we requested an early pick up and they showed up right on time. They were super friendly and did an AMAZING job. I would most certainly recommend them and we will definitely be using them again in the future. Thanks for making our transition in to our new home easy and a great experience! read more

Highly recommend. Extremely professional, experienced movers who did not damage any of our items or the walls of our apartment or new home. These crews know what they're doing and they work extremely hard. We hired them to pack our things and move us. We moved from an apartment with 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms plus an office in NYC to a home outside the city with three floors. We had a ton of boxes, kids toys, furniture, clothing and a fair amount of art and miscellaneous items. Simply Moving sent a 5 person crew to pack us up and they did the job from about 9am-4pm with a short lunch break. They brought all the boxes and tape and carefully packed everything. They were smart about where to place everything so we could still move around the apartment and they left our beds out so we could sleep in them until the next day. On moving day, they had a 6 person team to disassemble our beds and other furniture, and loaded up two huge trucks. They worked from 830am to 1030pm with two short breaks. We got dinner for the crew and we helped with what we could. We also unboxed as much as we could to have them haul away paper and boxes. Hats off to Miguel, Eric, Lawrence, Fernando, Freddy and Jason. They were an A+ team with incredibly positive attitudes, lots of energy and so accommodating. We asked for items to be placed in certain rooms and there were a couple times we need to switch things up. They did a great job re -assembling everything too. They were like machines. No complaining or bad attitudes or eye-rolling or anything. They deserve every penny of the 15-20% tip that is requested. The entire job was $7,000 plus tip. Our salesperson/estimator was Carlos. He actually came to the apartment in person before giving the bid. Everyone else did it via Zoom, which was fine, but i think the in person evaluation helped us feel more confident we wouldn't get hit with any additional fees on moving day. I liked that the final quote was a guaranteed price. I did my homework and got bids from 10 different moving companies before we went with Simply Moving. The bids ranged from $4600 (for a company with bad reviews) to $14,000! I recommend you bargain as much as possible for the cost of the move and be sure to budget for a generous tip and provide at least a meal and drinks on moving day because these crews earn it. They don't get overtime and so those tips go a long way. And no, I don't work in moving but I have moved a lot and this was the best experience I've had. One piece of feedback: they could use less paper when wrapping all the dishes. I know they don't want to break anything but they could reduce some of the packing material to help with the high level of waste when unpacking. All in all- an excellent experience and we are really appreciative of how meticulous and careful Simply Moving was in our home and with all of our things. Five stars for sure. read more

I needed long distance movers with 2 weeks before my move. I was quoted huge prices by other movers and after being cancelled on I decided to try out Simply Moving. I had an amazing experience! The quote I got from Carlos was much more affordable than other companies quoted me and the process was easy and delightful. I confirmed my move date and paid a $50 deposit. The day before the move I paid the remainder of my balance. The two movers arrived between 8 and 9 as promised. They were kind, friendly, and efficient in their move. They dissembled and reassembled furniture without any issues. They met me at my destination and it was absolutely stress-free for me. Would highly recommend! read more

Vinny and his teammate were the best movers I've ever had IN MY LIFE (and I'm a young professional living in NYC so you know I've moved many many times). They were professional, caring, discrete, deliberate, trustworthy, and funny. They listened to my needs and concerns and responded beautifully. I had to move very last minute in an incredibly challenging but transformative moment, and they made the process incredibly easy. HIRE THEM. Don't wait! Don't doubt! Tip well! read more

We arranged a move very last minute, on a Thursday for a Friday move, at the end June in NYC (poor planning as this is a busy moving period). Simply Moving's customer support was very friendly and helpful and they made the whole process easy. Great work by Alexandra on the front end and Nate on the back end. They gave us a quote that was almost half that of another vendor who was price-gouging for the late request. They also provided us with the Certificate of Insurance that my co-op required. The movers called when they were on the way and let me know that the traffic was really slow. They ended up being a half hour later than the two-hour window, but were able to make up for the delay by working incredibly efficiently, all the while ensuring our property was not damaged. The movers were friendly and positioned everything where we requested. Overall, great experience. read more

This was quite literally the worst moving experience I had. I felt badly because out of the three people on the moving team, two worked hard and were so kind, but one was so reckless that he ruined the entire experience. They fought, yelled, and completely ruined my new furniture. When I submit a claim for reimbursement, the people on the phone were kind; however, offered me minimal financial compensation which did not even begin to cover ANYTHING. When I challenged it, they told me they were doing me a favor and didn't need to do anything. Safe to say, not a fan. read more

We were in awe of the moving team yesterday. Walter and his team were fast and efficient, I was stunned by how fast they got everything in the truck. They finished 7 minutes before the price would have gone up and I really appreciated them trying everything they could to save us money. They also cared about where we wanted each item to be placed. We were blown away and will definitely use you in the future. The only thing I would recommend is try to haggle! They quoted us over 2000 dollars because they thought the move would take much longer than it did. We told them about a competitive price from a different company and they were able to match it!! Amazing , professional company. read more

awful experience. do not use them or trust them. you have a contract and then afterwards they change it and charge you more and if you don't pay you won't get your things. on top of that , I had a table missing and a box ame suddenly they are not responding to my calls , texts or emails. Not sure this company is even legit. Please don't do the same mistake I did. read more

Simply the best! I moved from Parkchester to Pelham Parkway area in The Bronx, they did the job in 3 hrs and didn't charge us like other movers asking for way too much just to move 60 bins plus few items. They showed up on time with just 2 movers on time and left on time as well. They were very polite and put our items where we asked them to. For people who never moved make sure to pack your items right and have them ready to be picked up makes things run smoother and won't leave you broke since movers do charge to use their boxes and supplies. I was not charged a dime over the intial quote . While other movers wanted 400 dollars more and quoted on time if you went over it you will be charged an arm and a leg. Simply Moving quoted me and told me that is the quote for the move, and did told me they don't charge for extra time it takes. Make sure to tip 15% fo 20% of the total move to the movers in cash. read more

I would give zero stars if it was an option. I beg anyone reading this to stay far away from this company. Our move with them was the biggest nightmare of all time. They stole a box of our belongings and we have since had to consult an attorney and are working closely with the police in making sure they are held accountable. As of today they are being investigated for grand larceny and not cooperating with the detectives. If that isn't enough they damaged a large number of our belongings and offered us next to nothing to replace the items. After we told them we were filing a police report and we would be reporting them to the better business bureau they retracted their minuscule compensation offer. Some of the pictures of our damaged furniture is below. We felt that we neccessary to post this review so no one will ever have to go through what we have dealing with this terrible company. read more

I want to share with you my experience of working with this company. I was waiting for them from 12-1 pm when I called and said where the car dispatcher was surprised that I was waiting for them, then they arrived 1 hour later, there were 2 Russian men and one black who worked very well, their Russian foreman always wanted to slow down the work and play for time, it took 40 minutes to load because I carried half of my things myself. in the storage , I changed the size of the room, they loaded it in 18 minutes and I have to pay $ 75 for half an hour and they changed the coupon, but for some reason the employees of this company do not know about this and they charged me $ 226 instead of $ 75 + they asked from 450 $ 20% to tip them I give 100$ I think it's very bad service !!! I don't recommend this company !!! read more

Wow I could not be more happy! Let me start out first by saying ask if they want you to make your deposit right away, I didn't and with a slight delay all still went well. The movers were fast and efficient. They sent me three guys to ensure the speed. I can't say that I am would've been happier with anyone considering I've use several moving companies in the past and have been very unpleased. The price they give you is the price they stick to which was very pleasing. I would definitely use them for my next move hands down the best. read more

We booked this company through Unpakt for a long-distance move from New York to Denver, Colorado. As you may know from researching movers, this whole process is normally the worst, especially when you are going across the country. I'm so glad that we went with Simply Moving, though, they made this entire process SO easy. We packed up our boxes and they came and picked everything up (52 boxes/large items total) on a Friday. I'm writing this having just had all our things delivered on the following Thursday in Denver completely unscathed. We had many fragile items like an all-glass coffee table, our wedding china, a couple of flat screens, and monitors that we were really worried about; they made sure to take note of the fragile items and go above and beyond to make sure they were double or even triple wrapped in blankets, tape, and saran wrap to protect them from bumps and any sort of weather. Here in Denver, Bob Bode and Max Chavez hand-delivered everything into our apartment, into the rooms where they were supposed to go. They were also super diligent and organized taking stock of boxes and opening things up for us to ensure nothing was damaged. It really has been such an easy move and I'm so glad that we ended up going with them because frankly, I was so ready for this whole move to be a total logistical nightmare. I cannot recommend them highly enough! Hire them and save yourself a whoooole lot of headaches. read more

This review is a little (ok very) late but these guys did such a great job that I'm sad I can't hire them again. I moved from NYC last spring and had to ship the contents of my 1BR apartment into a storage unit in Virginia. Even with Simply Moving's rave reviews, after reading so many horror stories online from regarding long distance moves I half expected to see crushed boxes, missing items and/or chipped furniture on the receiving end. On the contrary, not only did all of my items arrive in perfect condition but it was obvious the movers took great care of my belongings along the way. I highly recommend them. read more

Simply Moving - Storage unit after being shipped by Simply Moving. All furniture wrapped in plastic to minimize damage & boxes in perfect condition. - Movers Near Me - Bronx, New York

The movers were extremely swift and took very little time packing and unpacking the furniture. I was a little skeptical about the TV being moved and how it would be handled, but they provided a box too and wrapped it up real nice! No damages to the TV (that I know of :P) Price was comparable to other movers if not cheaper (I guess moving in New York is just plain expensive always!) Most importantly, the movers did not argue or hassle me for anything and were patient even with the elevators being flooded on the day of my move! read more

I hired the movers from Simply Moving and the movers were amazing. They were efficient, very helpful, and did everything that we asked for. All the packages were delivered safely to my new home. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars has nothing to do with the movers, but more with the administration. There was a mixup with our agreement that was eventually rectified fairly, so make sure all parties are clear in understanding what is being agreed to. I would definitely use them again if I ever planned on moving. read more

We've used Simply Moving twice (once for a move within Manhattan, and once for a move from NYC to CT). The movers were professional for each move; they showed up on time and moved our items with care. There were also no financial surprises since the flat rate was confirmed upfront via Unpakt. The price was also very reasonable and the lowest quoted of the providers on Unpakt each time. Would definitely use them again for a move within their service area. read more

Flat rate is a LIE. They claim you don't place common one bedroom items on the list only to bombard you with higher prices on the move in day when you have no choice. Then they charge an extra three hundred something for the elevator being too far away (WHICH WAS NEVER DISCUSSED). And if there is such a charge, then don't call it a flat rate! Literally felt bombarded during this whole moving process. On top of all that, the actual movers hounding me for %15-%20 tip of the whole cost. Never, ever, ever again. I unfortunately had to put my things in their storage and trying to find somebody else to move my things out. read more

Booked this company through Unpakt, it was basically a dream move. We moved from Brooklyn, NY to Montclair, NJ. Whole 2-bedroom apartment. They arrived a little early on the move day (probably a miscommunication on my part). We were still packing when that happened. This made us a little nervous but these guys quickly put us at ease. They had the air of confidence and reassurance to them. A short list of outstanding performance marks: - Helped us pack/unpack a few bulky items. - Moved around quickly and efficiently - Not a single miscalculated move, no wall dings, no scratches, etc. - Did everything with a big smile, not a single complaint - Carried everything with a lightning fast speed - Advised us on furniture layout in the new (temporary) apartment All in all I would recommend these fine people to anyone who wants a piece of mind on the moving day. read more

I decided to notify the BBB. My sis and I had to split my mother's belongings up after her recent passing. The items were being sent to 2 different states On the East Coast and the West Coast. Red flag! How are they equal amounts when one is going cross country the other was going down south? Inappropriate moment: the mover arrives and asked us why we haven't decided to just sell everything instead of moving it to two different states. Yeah tell him our mother just died. Next, the company doesn't communicate well. They couldn't seem to figure out how to send the information back to each other. Also I didn't like how the contracts were laid out. The contracts are set up where it looks like you're getting a great deal but they add on extra fees after the fact. They charged extra for the wardrobes because someone messed up the amounts going to each location. It happened again after delivery. We abandoned furniture in my mothers apartment because they wanted to charge extra for the entire bed but said the mattress was free. We split items up to a small studio worth of furniture for each location. It felt like they wanted to tack on fees as they saw fit. This is how they lost the first star. 1st move: They showed up two weeks later with the furniture within the time window. However, they notified me 12 hours prior to their arrival. I had to reschedule because I needed 24 hours to tell my job. They go to get another truck because they said they have to rent it I left to get the other truck. However, I was told that they wouldn't give me my furniture unless I paid for the rental truck because it was in a contract. I felt alone and cornered at this point. Problem: the sofa. They haven't even tried yet and decided to leave it downstairs so I had to repeatedly ask them to try. So they tried and made it up one flight of stairs which was only six steps and had to bring it back down. So I try to get them to take the sofa up the back stairwell which would allow for more room and they still wouldn't try. They lose a star. I ended up calling the office and spoke with a man named Max. It took 17 minutes for me to finish speaking with him and left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I told him I could serve it to move incomplete because they didn't move 100% of the furniture into the apartment when their contract clearly states they do re-assembly and disassembly of furniture. However they said they couldn't do the sofa. Like I said a vague contract can cut corners. They started moving the rest of the furniture in and see more concerned about me signing off on the paperwork that they were done. Uncomfortable: these movers we're just ready to go after they put the stuff in the apartment and didn't assemble the Ottoman and I had to tell them to take the TV out of the box. Oh they were just concerned about leaving yet they said I was last move on your truck. I would and check off that this sofa was delivered and I felt like they win leave the apartment unless I checked it. I live alone. There's no one else here and I didn't want them telling me they couldn't leave until I checked it off and I felt a little intimidated by it. So I reluctantly checked it off and signed so they would leave the apartment. And in a sneaky move their paperwork doesn't show any comments on it and I had to take a picture of my people work with my comments because they gave me one we I didn't write anything on it and I thought it was very suspicious. I'm glad I took a picture of it for my records to show that I was very upset with them. I lost a days pay and respect for that company in the end. Another lost star. 2nd move: The other location is my sisters she doesn't live alone. She made sure her boyfriend was there in case anything happened like with me. They show up three days late. Does delivery windows mean nothing. All goes well until they see the wardrobe. It's cracked. Our mother got them in NYC wardrobes from so we can't really replace the door. We took a picture of it before it was packed up and it showed up with a very large corner crack. They lose a star. They tried to call back afterwords asking me if I was satisfied with the move and I said no. I found out later on by using people from task rabbit, the back stairs worked. Also they were calling to charge me for using stairs. I thought that the staircase fee was covered in the amount which they did not explain that they would charge by the staircase. The woman I spoke with, Joanna, decided that she would waive the fee because they did in necessarily put that in a contract that he charged by the staircase so I got one person saying I owe the $150 and Joanna saying I owe $90. I was very annoyed with them and asked to speak with Stephan, the owner. After that request, silence. This put them down to a one star for the overall experience. read more

See all

These are the best movers in NYC hands down!! Do yourself a favor and book them. I've used many other companies and no one else has the quality of work and good prices like Simply Moving. The guys showed up on time, had every kind of packing material imaginable and I didn't lift a finger the entire time! I love that they do not have an hourly rate, it is a fixed and fairly priced one time fee so I appreciated the time they spent carefully wrapping my furniture. The head mover was so nice and helping me decide where I should position big furniture so I didn't have to move it around myself later on. There ended up being a few steps to the freight of an elevator building and they didn't upcharge me which was great. I have a full 1 bedroom worth of furniture/belongings and it took them maybe 3 hours total. Very efficient. One lamp was damaged during the move and I was fully reimbursed for it!! Renters insurance (built into the quote) only covered a portion but they took care of me which I really appreciated. The admin team is very helpful and easy to work with. Overall, excellent experience!! read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU WANT BREAKAGES, DELAYS, LOST ITEMS AND ZERO CUSTOMER SUPPORT!! Without doubt one of the worst services I have ever had in my life: if you want to guarantee broken items, a complete breakdown of communication and lack of customer support, and to only hear from the company when they need to charge you more, then this is the company for you. Simply Moving is a sobering reminder that you "You Get What You Pay For" and their cheaper prices ultimately cost you more in damages, lost time and headaches in the end. My furniture arrived 4 weeks late, broken, with zero communication from the team, despite numerous attempts to get clarity. When they finally arrived, the delivery team abandoned the unloading before it was even finished and did not own up to breaking beds etc when installing. Simply Moving is a complete sham... read more

I've had two moves with Simply Moving over the last few months. As we all know moving sucks, it's stressful, and after going through the trouble of even securing an apartment in NYC the last thing you want to do is handle the logistics of moving heavy furniture/beds/etc. Because of that, I looked to Yelp to find a mover. Stefan and crew were absolutely helpful in the process both times. Beforehand I was quoted fairly and at a much lower rate than other options, and the crew was always very prompt in their correspondence. They moved my stuff across town like it was nothing, even though I packed multiple super heavy boxes and Ikea furniture, and Stefan personally followed up to make sure I was satisfied with the end result. I will use Stefan and his crew on every future move going forward, and you should too. read more
