Based on a recommendation from a friend I hired Simply Moving. Despite an early morning delay (out of anyone's control) the movers arrived, moved everything faster than I could've imagined to make up for it, and were incredible getting things done without hiccup. Vedran and Lazar were incredibly nice, warm, and professional. They put me at ease after what was a somewhat stressful morning, and I would definitely hire them again. read more

Our move ended up falling on a brutally hot, humid day. Nebo, Marco and Dragan never complained. They were hardworking, efficient and friendly throughout. I recommend them wholeheartedly! read more

The worst of the lot. Lost our items, during move, came in over four hours late and we couldn't move into our apartment. So we had to rent a place to store our stuff, and we were charged for storage despite of it being their fault. I stronly reccommned you try some other moving company. read more

these guys were outstanding ! remarkably, they showed up on time !! all of my items were carefully wrapped, carted, and placed in their trucking in a timely manner. this move was seamless ! read more

Moved from Midtown West to West Village on 12/30/15. Completed in less than 2 hrs. - Friendly and helpful service reps provided quote and transparently explained pricing - Friendly and efficient movers arrived on time and moved everything without damage - Friendly follow-up from company just to check that things went smoothly Would highly recommend these guys for all your moving needs! read more

Great movers, professional and funny, did the job in a timely fashion. Would use this company again, thanks! read more

The movers are Simply Moving are professional, skilled, and all-around stellar. Here's why: Simply Movers assisted me in moving a one bedroom apartment from one NY borough to another. This move included a large bed, couch, table, many boxes and miscellaneous items, as well as an expensive desk that I had told them was very important to me. First, they were incredibly kind and professional-- they disassembled all items very carefully, and wrapped them with equal care. They took into account my concern about my desk, promised to take good care of it, and wrapped this item with all sorts of plastics and blankets to ensure it would be safe. Second, they did all of this is a ridiculously short period of time, as two of the gentlemen wrapped my large items, and the third took down the boxes and other things! I cannot stress how careful they were with all of our furniture. Once we arrived at the new apartment, they reassembled all of my big items-- none of which had even a single scratch on them (and I checked). They made sure that everything was placed exactly where we wanted it to be, and spent extra time rearranging our office furniture so that it could fit in exactly the way we envisioned. They also took all of the plastic/packing stuff with them and left everything neat and clean. These folks are truly fantastic, and our movers were the dream team. They made a very annoying task simple (!), and I would hire them again without any hesitation. This is not my first move, and I've used very expensive movers in the past. These movers probably charge half the price compared to some of their competitors, and provide twice the quality. I'm not surprised they have so many positive reviews. THANK YOU SIMPLY! read more

They came, they saw, they moved!! To be a bit more specific: They showed up on time, they packed the truck faster then I would have thought possible, they unpacked it on the other end even faster. Professional, courteous and efficient!!! What else can you possibly ask for?!?! read more

I had an excellent experience - they came within the window requested, moved quickly and packed everything up in a careful manner, and were extremely cheerful during the whole process. The price was cheaper than other comparable services and they stuck to the price quoted before the actual move. I'll definitely use them again! read more

For all your moving and storage needs, look no further: hire Simply Moving. I had a very complicated move from the home I grew up in. There were many legs to the move: multiple locations, multiple storage locations, multiple swaps of furniture from a number of homes and the transport of many, many small and delicate items that held treasured family memories. When I first contacted the company, Stefan, the owner, came to meet with me. He worked with the first team that conducted the first leg of the move. Thereafter, I had various crews. Members of the team were professional, careful, courteous and efficient. They executed flawlessly despite the multiple destinations, the many drop-offs and the variety of building requirements and constraints that made their job all the more difficult. When we reached our last leg of the move, we could not find a sculpture in our apartment. When I called Stefan he came over immediately (despite the lateness of the day). He investigated with his team, came to my apartment to confirm the article was not among the boxes. At this point, Stephan went to their warehouse in Long Island City to check if the item had not been sent to storage by mistake (most likely mine). Within the hour, Stefan was back with the sculpture in his hand. Service like this is rare and above all Stefan delivered with grace and a smile, never complaining of or hinting at the lateness of the hour. I recommend Simply Moving without reservation and thank them for the amazing execution of my multi-pronged move. read more

It's taken me WAY too long to write this review (2+ years), but I hope better late than never (I hope). Moving is an incredibly traumatic experience, but Carlos and his team made it as smooth as is humanly possible. Carlos was professional and prompt (and just a really nice guy!) in dealing with the logistics, and the team that did the heavy lifting worked incredibly hard. They showed up before 8 am and we finished at around 9 pm, and they barely took a break to eat during this 13-hour day!! The cost of moving is high, but I got a few quotes and Simply Moving was competitive, plus there were no hidden fees, like there were with many other companies. There were a few small mishaps (some garbage left behind, an item that wasn't wrapped quite right), but the overall experience was nothing but positive. I'd definitely use them again and wholeheartedly recommend them to others as well. Thank you for a job well done! read more

Amazing per usual! I used simply last year for a single on bedroom move and the team was professional, friendly, and more than accommodating. This year I called simply in a pinch as we were rushed to leave our two bedroom apartment. I called them 10 and they were able to move us at 1pm. The elevator in our building had broke DAY OF and we had multiple pieces of heavy furniture to move down 6 floors. Simply saved the day to say the least. They worked with us for 6 hours to move everything down the stairs with not a single scratch. I can not stress enough how professional and helpful simply was. We tried to help and bring down some lighter bags and the team told us not to worry about it. I lost count of how many trips these guys made up the stairs all in 90 degree new york city heat. Through out all these unfortunate circumstances the team remained positive, kind, and even cracked jokes! If you are moving and looking for a easy stress free friendly experience you MUST use simply. 10 out of 10!!!! read more

Anthony who I spoke with on the phone is a great, great guy.

Very good, reliable company. They gave me a frame of 9-10am but arrived at 8:30am. They were very organized, fast and careful with my furniture. They disassembled all my furniture, wrapped it up carefully and assembled it at my new place. Their prices are very reasonable. Would definitely recommend them. read more

I just had an excellent move through Simply Hired on 6/30/16. I booked through Unpakt and went with their competitive quote despite not being the cheapest due to numerous positive reviews. What a great choice. The 5 person crew showed up within the expected window after multiple ETA calls, immediately got to work, and removed significant stress from my worst nightmare (moving). The crew communicated throughout the process and went above and beyond expectations. Any minor obstacles were immediately overcome. Having a smooth move was particularly important because my wife is 9 months pregnant, and this group made it happen with top notch service, professionalism, and a smile. I highly recommend Simply Moving for those looking for a straightforward, honest, hard working group to make a horrible experience into something a little less painful. read more

The crew was 30min late, but were extremely efficient and friendly. The move was very quick and they were careful with my furniture and boxes. I moved into a 5 floor walkup and the team carried heavy items without issues or complaints. Definitely recommending this service to my friends who are moving soon! read more

Ehh, just okay. They called to update me on time, which was great, and they had good availability. When they got to the apt they needed a "break" and sat outside for 5-10 mins before starting, then got a little annoyed at the stairs (which was fully disclosed from the start) & made me feel a little bad. They were also pretty slow; 1 bedroom move with a love seat took 3 hours. Price was decent and it got the job done, but definitely not my favorite. read more

I'm a fan. They were fast and professional. I tipped aggressively as I was mostly happy. One small issue was that one of the movers was working too fast and dropped a wooden foot for the couch and the wood broke a bit on it. Not even a big deal but I can't give a 5-star for a broken item. They also wouldn't install my ACs because they said the super/management companies don't like them messing with apartment windows, but my new apartment has dedicated in-wall AC boxes. I would use Simply Moving again. read more

Awesome guys that were very professional and helpful! The company was very easy to work with and I felt at ease about my move.

I called up to get a quote and Masi helped me. From Masi to all the employees,the move went great. I would highly recommend them.

The worst movers ever!! They left my house in disarray. My dining table was broker, my kids trampoline was missing parts and as I am walking around and settling in; they never tightened the screws in the tables etc. So, I have to do that all over again. They were in a rush to drop off and leave. DO NOT USE. HORRIBLE! read more

I dreaded this move (Sept 30,2016 )from New York to South Carolina . In April I contracted a different mover for $400 less; but after reading their reviews i cancelled the contract and hired Simply Moving. I am sooooo glad i did. Simply made my dreaded move a wonderful experience. The men were pleasant and for filled my every request. Yes i would hire them again in a heartbeat. Hey.....I wasn't looking for the cheapest ; i just wanted the moving company to not nickle and dime me and be some what reliable. THESE PEOPLE ARE GREAT..no I'm not relatedto them ..YUK yuk yuk read more

I'm shocked at the negative reviews here. Because of the reviews I was slightly worried about my move. But Nick and his team really impressed me. They showed up RIGHT on time, they moved my apartment very quickly, and they handled everything with extreme care so that nothing was damaged in the slightest. They wrapped up my $30 lamp like it was $1000. They also were very accommodating to the fact that my building has very strict elevator times. They were crazy fast and didn't complain once about the five floor walk-up! Definitely recommend for a painless NYC move. read more

Excellent work from the crew. They were flexible and helpful and they manage to make the move very easy.

I hesitate to give this review because there were many positives to my experience with Simply Moving. Because of these positives, I would still recommend using this company. But I also think that the plethora of five star reviews don't tell the whole story. So, let me start with the pros, and then explain why I have strayed from other reviewers and have given them less than five stars. Pros: First, dealing with the front office was an easy, professional, and pleasant experience. The woman who was my contact there was responsive, and extremely courteous over the phone. Also, you can tell they have a good operation going, as they send you a detailed price sheet that confirms the quote, lays out their policies, and confirms the moving schedule. The price I was quoted was far, far below other companies in NYC. I thought perhaps it was too good to be true. I've heard horror stories from friends that involved either careless packing, lost or damaged articles, or final bills that were much higher than the original quote. This wasn't the case here. I was charged what I was quoted, the movers were on time, and were pretty careful with my belongings, minus a few scratches that I can live with. For the cost alone, I would - and still do - recommend Simply Moving to anyone looking for an economical, efficient, and professional move. Con(s): I had one specific, unpleasant experience with the moving crew. Prior to the move date, I confirmed verbally with the office staff over the phone (and also read in their printed agreement) that the suggested gratuity is 15-20% of the total move price, which covers the whole crew. I had a simple job: moving a one bedroom apartment from one neighborhood in NYC to another. I am a generous tipper, and intended to give a bit over the 20%, particularly because it was a hot day. However, when the crew showed up, literally the first thing they said to me after hello was, that they expected me to give them "$x" per person and, if I did that, THEN they'd take "really good care of my stuff." What they were asking for amounted to almost 50% of the cost of my move -- well over the 20% suggested gratuity. Taken aback, I asked: well, if I don't tip you "x," will you then NOT take care of my stuff? They laughed it off, and said no, of course they would. At the end of the move, I DO think they took care of me. So, I gave them more than 20%, but less than what they requested. I looked them straight in the eye when I gave them their tip, and explained that I felt it was unprofessional to try and intimidate me into giving a higher tip, especially when it goes against the company's own policy. They took it relatively graciously, but also accused me for "not looking out" for them. The thing is -- this isn't really the part that bothers me. I didn't like this interaction, but moving companies aren't perfect. The crew did a good job, and I feel that I compensated them proportionately. Maybe in the end there was some friction, but I also feel, in the end, our exchange was fair. There are two things that happened afterwards, for which have left me feeling uneasy about this company. ***First: at the end of my move, before the crew left, they put me on the phone with the owner, or perhaps it was the manager. He asked how my move was. I said overall it was good (I didn't mention the gratuity issue). He said that if I give a good review on Yelp, he will credit $25-$30 back to my credit card. So, I think this may be what is causing the consistently high reviews on here. I thought long and hard before leaving this review, and decided that an extra $25 just isn't worth it to me. Maybe everyone else who has left a five star review really did have an amazing experience, and maybe I was the only one who ever received this offer for money in exchange for a review. I dunno. But, I didn't have a five star experience, so I'm not going to say that I did. ***Second: after my move, I received an email from the company, asking for feedback. I wasn't going to bring up the gratuity thing, but I felt - since they asked - it was important that they know what their crew is doing out in the field. I wrote them an extremely detailed email about what happened, including some other issues that I didn't fully explain here. After a week of no response, I wrote a follow-up, asking if they received my email. They wrote back saying they were looking into it, and would get back to me on Monday. But, that was about a month ago. I also sent them another follow up email since then, pointing out that they never responded. And ... nothing. So, at the end of the day, I just feel that it's important to share my experience, and advise other consumers out there that perhaps the consistent five star reviews on here should be taken with a grain of salt. read more

Made the moving experience an enjoyable one! Very nice guys: arrived early and moved everything quickly and carefully.

These guys quoted me great price, showed up on time, and did a great job. Everything you'd want in a mover. I'm a very satisfied customer.

WORST COMPANY EVER!!!! I would give negative stars if I could. Save your money, your time and aggravation! They show up 3 1/2 hours late, trucks break down, completely unprofessional and act like they're doing you a favor when you call. The manager is an asshole who acts like he's a GOD. I've never in my life dealt with a worse company- completely unacceptable and unprofessional. read more

EDITED: to reflect that after my complaints, the moving company went out of its way to apologize and to refund me a chunk of the move. If only that kind of attention had been paid during the move. Original post: Worst move of my life. While the foreman seemed competent and I certainly don't want to put him out of a job, the other two members of the crew seemed unable to handle basic moving logic (they were often bringing up one box at a time, despite the fact that this is not efficient AND we were on a deadline with the elevator being reserved). First, this move took much longer than it should have. I have about 500 cubic feet of stuff - a one bedroom. It should not have taken over 7 hours to move, especially since I had packed almost everything myself. I have moved three times in the past two years, including cross-country, twice. I am an efficient packer and now how the moving process goes. Part of this is because the third member of the crew showed up several hours late, so the foreman was doing all of the moving while the other guy watched the truck. I was slapped with two disassembly charges (including a new disassembly charge for my bed, even though I had specified it would need to be disassembled, apparently my bed is not "standard", which I found to be a nasty surprise). The team insisted it could not get my desk out without disassembling it - even though it had been moved into this apartment without being disassembled. On the way to my new apartment, apparently my floor lamp was broken. I was asked to provide information about how much it would cost to replace the broken part. When I did not know this information, we reached a dead end. Then another lamp, an expensive Kartell lamp, was broken during the move. Both breaks were reported offhandedly as though they were minor instances and partially my fault, which I did not appreciate. Then the crew broke an emergency exit sign in my building and DENIED it to the building management. It was only once the super insisted that he had seen it happen and it was on camera anyways that the crew fessed up to it. But there was then a lengthy argument between the crew and my building's management that seemed very unprofessional. At this point in time, we had run out of time on the elevator reservation and exceeded the move-in window at my new building. Although the elevator had been reserved for me for six hours and I had been careful to keep checking in with the crew about how we were doing on time, they nonchalantly exceeded the deadline. I am now facing a fine from my building, on my first day, for this offense. During this whole altercation, the movers were not supportive nor did they run interference. I felt like I was getting attacked on all sides. This was the worst move I've ever had, and like I said, I've moved a lot, especially recently. Though I do not personally wish ill on the guys who moved me, nor do I want to cost anyone their job, I will never use Simply Moving again. read more

Showed up early, moved everything quickly without breaking a single item, and were super nice throughout. Thanks!

I was expecting moving to be a huge hassle and was prepared for drama... These guys!!! it couldnt get easier..i have made an appointment about 3 weeks in advance and they gave me a quote as accurate as it was in the end. Of course, a week before the move date i realised i will need to move on totally different date and on the weekend. I just gave them a call, and they were so cool about changing the move date, no fees, no problem.. Showed up on time, 3 guys, huge truck , very friendly. Packed every little piece of my furniture very carefully, i tried to kind of help but than realized these guys really know what they are doing, and you part is to just chill... Long story short my 2 bedroom (1 floor walkup) was moved to my new place (3 floors walk up) in about 2,5 hours!!! They have unwrapped everything, and all of my fragile items were alive :) I cant thank them enough, they made my move so easy. I TOTALLY RECOMMEND. read more

The move took longer and was stressful since only a two member crew was sent instead of 4 that was initially promised.

Just perfect. Moving it a nightmare and as this is my 9th move i expected a day of bad experience after another. Not this time- the team came packing a day prior to the move doing a professional, quick job leaving the apt full of organized boxes and we didn't even have to be there while they packed. The next morning they arrived and moved all of our stuff including furniture quickly and without any damage or loss. They were nice, on time, on budget! This is by far the best company we have ever used and I will definitely recommend them to anyone read more

Hands down the most organised efficient movers I have ever used. I used them to move some boxes from the curb into my storage unit (because the truck dropping off my boxes would not put them in my storage unit). They were in constant communication with me via text to organise the person who was meeting me. Really on the ball with everything. Best movers I've ever used so far. And the best price! I highly recommend them. read more

I booked my move very last minute, Rock got me scheduled on my target move date at a price that was well below several other moving companies. The process was very thorough, I got emails confirming the estimate, the move date, things to check with building management, etc. Mitchell and his partner arrived early (great!) and I was totally frazzled - they gave me time to finish last minute packing, helped me tape boxes, and maneuvered around two big dogs and all of my mess. The move couldn't have gone more smoothly and Mitchell was very fun and pleasant! I loved that at the end of the move before they left Rock checked in to make sure I was satisfied, that nothing was damaged, and that they could consider the job complete. No hidden fees, very professional. read more

this is A great company... from my initial phone call with Jay ..through my 3 movers...to my last phone call with margo....everyone was courteous...the movers were prompt efficient quick professionals...never heard of this company ..THEY WERE OFFERED BY Manhattan mini storage...I WOULD ONLY USE THIS COMPANY GOING FORWARD AND I would recommend THEM TO all.. read more

Quick response time, reasonably priced, friendly sales rep, fast and careful movers. Overall they made the entire moving process painless

These guys talk a nice game, but they will come unprepared to your move, will always have a self-serving explanation for whatever they are doing incorrectly, you will have a stressful move, they will use your credit card to charge you whatever they want, they will not return your calls. They are dishonest. They charged me an additional $1,000 on my credit card without authorization. I worked with Rock. DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER !! Problems: 1. They don't come prepared: They didn't bring the bubble wrap that I paid for, sent only 3 people when the job required 4 people, didn't bring anything to cover the wood floors even though we specifically discussed it in advance, they ran out of boxes, ran out of time and took unpacked stuff down the elevators onto the streets and packed there for hours. 2. They say they are experts in packing expensive things, but they are not: They didn't have any packing materials for expensive mirrors and paintings. They didn't cover the mirrors and paintings in any paper, just packed them directly into flat boxes which didn't even cover them in full. They packed the plasma TV in blanket and put it loosely into an old grungy box. And they charged me extra for this old grungy box because supposedly it was only "loaned" to me. 3. They love to charge your credit card: I called them four times after the move to discuss the number of blankets they will charge me -- because the furniture had to be left in blankets in storage. Extra blankets had to be used for everything because they didn't bring enough packing materials and we didn't have time to unwrap and return blankets. I think this is their way of making additional money. And then they just charged my credit card for an additional $1000 without any breakdown of the amount, including for keeping their grungy box for the TV (which I still don't know how much it cost me..). I called to resolve the matter, but they will keep lying and won't be reasonable. Good things: The three moving guys were nice and had good attitude and tried to do their best under the circumstances. read more

Used simply moving today for first time to move apartments in Manhattan. Every communication from initial email to follow up emails was on point. Building had requirements for the movers and they supplied them in seconds. All work was done professionally and with great care. Price was competitive and the quote they gave me is what they charged me. That was a first. I've move many times before and it's always 30-50 pct higher if not more. It's rare that i can recommend a moving service, but I have no hesitation to recommend simply moving. You will not be disappointed. In addition they gave me good advice on where to purchase cheap quality boxes and packing items. This isn't a service that will pack your items for you but if you want them to, I'm sure they would accommodate as well for a cost. All in all, I owe them a big thank you for taking the some of the stress of moving out. read more

reading all the positive reviews, we had high hopes for this company. we received a very attractive quote via their online form. not wanting any unpleasant moves, we called the company directly and described in detail every piece of furniture and boxes we intended to move about 25 miles across the river. moving out of a 1br apartment, we are leaving many things behind, and wanted to take only the dining room furniture and a few bedroom pieces. no bed, no sofa, no tv, etc. the quote we received from marie was more than a double of the original. even the hourly rate almost doubled. we asked for a written quote and were stunned that they added handling fees for every piece of furniture. between $80 and $150 each!!! they also piled up other fees, including $175 administrative fee. btw, marie never once mentioned these fees during our phone call. we felt taken before the movers even showed up. what will stop them from coming up with more ridiculous fees, once the move is in progress? 'excellent views of the bridge fees' perhaps? 2 stars only for the quick quote. we are glad that many yelpers had good experience with this company. sadly, it seems the rest of us are better off 'simply moving' away from them. read more
