Great experience. The pre-move set up was easy - last minute changes were accommodated and the communication/response was quick and helpful. The movers were on time, professional, and worked really hard. Overall positive experience. And they help artists!! Highly recommend. read more

Summary: + good price + fast and overall fine service + overall nice workers - poor communication - some unprofessionalism - some damages I went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars, but ultimately landed on 3. I want to provide enough context so anyone considering Solidarity Movers can make an informed decision. Overall, this was one of the better moves I've had, but not one that warrants the 5-star reviews I see here. My husband and I moved from MA to NY due to family circumstances. The move was already stressful before it began, which is relevant because Solidarity was recommended by a friend who had a great experience with them. Given some poor experiences I've had with movers in the past, I felt confident choosing them. Unfortunately, things started off rocky. I completed a video walkthrough, received an initial quote, and then requested a revision. After that, communication stalled. Multiple follow-ups went unanswered, and I couldn't even get confirmation that my request was being worked on. After about a day of silence while other companies were responding consistently, I was ready to book elsewhere and left a review reflecting my experience. Within minutes, owner Zak called me. He was understanding, professional, and genuinely seemed to care about my concerns. Communication improved immediately, I received the revised quote, and their pricing felt fair, so I booked the move. A couple of weeks before the move, I reached out to confirm everything was still on track and asked about payment. I was told, in writing by Mike, that the remaining balance would be due "upon completion of your move." To me, that clearly meant after delivery. The move was scheduled for June 19 with overnight delivery on June 20. The crew was originally expected between 12 PM and 2 PM but arrived around 4 PM due to traffic. Traffic happens, and I had no issue with the delay itself. The crew was polite, worked efficiently, and seemed to handle our belongings with care. Unfortunately, this is where my experience started to decline. While packing, I overheard two crew members make a joke about my husband and me. It wasn't the worst thing I've ever heard, but it was disappointing to become the subject of a gay joke, especially from a company that publicly projects queer allyship. I chose not to make an issue of it, but another customer may have felt differently. Once loading was complete, the foreman informed me that the remaining balance was due immediately. This directly contradicted the written communication I had received. When I raised the issue, Mike acknowledged there had been a miscommunication but insisted I still had to pay on the spot. What made the interaction frustrating was how dismissive he came across. He stated this was standard procedure and said he would investigate the miscommunication, but unless there is another Mike, the miscommunication originated with him. Rather than create additional stress for myself, I paid the balance and moved on. To be clear, I still tipped the crew generously because they worked hard. By the end of the move, they had received $1,200 total in gratuity, or $400 per mover. The next day, delivery was delayed again due to traffic, but the unloading process itself was quick and organized. The crew followed instructions, reassembled our storage bed, and got everything into the house efficiently. After unloading, I was asked to sign paperwork stating everything had been delivered without damage. This struck me as odd because we hadn't unpacked a single box yet, so there was no realistic way to verify that. Like many people at the end of a move, I signed because I was exhausted and just wanted the process finished. While unpacking later, I discovered our $1,500 credenza had been damaged. Two interior shelves were broken, one completely split in half. Several glass items were also broken in transit. Nothing irreplaceable, but damage nonetheless. Could I file a claim? Sure. But after an already stressful interstate move, I don't have the time or energy to go through another lengthy process. Instead, I'm leaving this review so others can make an informed decision. Despite everything, I would still consider recommending Solidarity Movers, especially for a local move. The crew worked hard, and this was far from the worst moving experience I've had. However, the communication issues, payment confusion, dismissive handling of that confusion, inappropriate comment, and damage to our belongings prevent me from rating the experience higher. If you're reading reviews because you're planning a move and trying to make the best decision possible, I hope this helps. Wishing you the best of luck! read more

Trust Solidarity Movers for your moving needs! I was looking for movers to help unload a 15 feet rental truck and not only did they complete the job in less than 2 hours, they were very professional and took very good care of our items. From filling out the form online to get a quote to answering all my questions and producing a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for my building to the unloading to finishing the job, everyone I spoke to were very pleasant and very responsive. On moving day, I was stuck in traffic and took me longer to arrive than expected. I called them to let them know and they informed me that the crew start their clock upon arrival at the destination unfortunately and had to pay extra time, but I understood. I received a call when the movers were on site and their names were Bryan and Francis. I absolutely had all my confidence in them knowing exactly what to do and they had all the right equipment. I highly recommend Solidarity Movers! read more

The movers were really efficient, took good care of my things, gave me good advise on my storage unit and it was really good value for money. Very prompt communication as well read more

Solidarity Movers moved me practically across NYC from Harlem to Brooklyn some years ago and the service was awesome. The booking started out with me adding in the number of specific items that I had in order to get a quote. That was pretty helpful. I also liked that there were 3 movers because they seemed to have a good system of bringing stuff out the apartment, downstairs, and into the truck. All of the movers were also very kind, chill, and respectful in handling my items. It didn't feel like they were just tossing things into the truck or stacking fragile boxes under heavy book boxes. Lastly, NOTHING BROKE OR WAS LOST!! Wooo!! This all happened with my last move and it was very irritating to try to replace the sold out broken stuff. Thank you Solidarity Movers for successfully helping me move. This the best moving service I've ever used and I would recommend everyone try them out. read more

I was new to using movers and after some quick research I decided to give them a shot. Solidarity Movers exceeded my expectations! From the very first convo they were easily the most professional and gave me the most affordable quote. Shout out to the dream team of Kurt,Alex & Eddie!! These guys were very careful and accommodating but moving like a well oiled machine. I would highly recommend and plan to use them again in the future read more

These guys arrived early, worked hard, and completed the job in good timing: and their quoted price was pretty close to the actual cost so thank you! read more

Amazing service, I cannot recommend enough! Impeccable communication through the whole entire process. The movers were so kind & careful. Pricing was really clear & payment was easy. I have used Solidarity to move 4 times & definitely would again! read more

Solidarity Movers - They got me all set up! - Movers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Such a stress free move to Midtown Manhattan because Solidarity is AWESOME. They worked with me months out when I didn't have a concrete date set/changed possible dates a few times as we had so much renovation stuff to finish at our house in Denver. Eugene and Zak were so accommodating and helpful over email and phone calls, and gave us peace of mind with our quote being accurate. It was $1575 for up to 6 hours which I figured would be more than an ample amount of time for our only 15ft UHaul, and it took the 3 movers only like.. 2 hours to get everything up. They said they'd arrive anywhere from 8:30am - 10am and met us up at 9am which was super appreciated. Tommy and his guys were ON IT. They accommodated a last minute location change to pick up the UHaul at our hotel lot across the river in NJ instead, got to the apt in record time, and immediately got us parked and unloaded. Super nice men, hella strong, worked so efficiently, and welcomed us to the city :) Thank you so much to Solidarity and Tommy's team for our 5 star moving experience. read more

The team was great and was very thorough moving all our things, checking in with us throughout the process. It was a super long day but they were friendly and made the moving process less stressful. Definitely will use them again for our next move. read more

Hired them to move a heavy tv stand from our car into my sons Queens apartment. Up five flights of stairs as the elevator was out of service! They communicated days prior and called the morning of! Very professional! read more

I've used them twice, both moves were super smooth and they were extremely helpful and reassuring.

15/10 Experience with Solidarity Movers!!! I'd previously booked with a company I'd used prior but they had to cancel last minute. A co-worker recommended Solidarity and I plan on using them for the rest of my NYC life! They were extremely prompt in getting me over a quote, confirming the date and time and also great at getting me things (COI) to my building! The day of the move was seamless! Eddie, the head mover was communicative and let me know an hour ahead of when they would arrive. They also had to move some BEASTLY furniture out of of some tight spaces and everyone stayed calm, professional and ultimately were my super heroes that day! Highly recommend! read more

Solidarity Movers - Best team in the land! - Movers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We've moved with Solidarity for the third time now. They are without a doubt the best movers in the area -- they made a difficult move into an easy one and the price was more than fair. Honestly could not recommend them higher. read more

Cannot recommend Solidarity Movers enough. Pricing was fair based on several quotes I received. The movers, Manny and Randy, were awesome! They were communicative throughout the process, which eased much of my stress. They were efficient, professional, and personable. Still can't believe the move did not take all day with a stop at the storage unit included and going from Queens, NY to Jersey City. Your office was always responsive, which I also greatly appreciated. Great work, Solidarity Movers! read more

11/10 moving experience with Solidarity - shout out to Brian and his crew for making our move go as smooth as possible. I picked Solidarity because (1) their price was extremely competitive, (2) their booking process was very easy, more human and way less pushy than competitors (Rabbit / Piece of Cake), and (3) they care about the community and give back. Despite all the good press, I was still blown away at how good the crew was. They moved us out of a 3-bedroom apt across BK into a new apt all in about 5 hours with zero damage, zero stress, and a very relaxed attitude. Go with Solidarity! read more

they were great! Gave a flat rate (equal to or less than other estimates). Were ready for us early, but patient waiting for us. Very kind, friendly, careful and quick. I would call them again. read more

The guys were really great once again. Two years ago the team moved us from Queens to Westchester, then this time from Westchester to Stamford. This past time with snow falling they were a bit late but text ahead of time twice to let us know when they'd be arriving. Cris was a great team lead. Reviewed our moving list upon arrival, easily swapped things in/out, added extra things and they moved as quickly as possible with disassembly and reassembly. The guys all wore masks and were mindful of keeping both spaces as clean as possible trying not to track in so much snow. Upon arrival they were friendly to our little dog to make her feel comfortable and to our almost 2yo son as well. Troopers in the snow and in general. Thanks guys. read more

Could I like these guys any better than the first time I used them a year ago? It turns out I can. I don't know where they get their movers from, perhaps from people exiting a buddhist monastery after spending a year contemplating how to be nice and courteous and conscientious. I mean, really, Solidarity's movers are always some of the nicest people I run into in New York and they take amazing care of my stuff every move. I wish I could award additional stars beyond five. They really seem to put your feelings first, from making sure you understand the charges (which are super up-front and well-explained, and very, very reasonable) to making sure about anything they aren't certain about your wishes for. They wrap all of your furniture super-securely and seem to be wizards at getting it into tight places without the slightest bit of damage, taking far more care than I would be capable of after lifting it up three flights of narrow stairs! My stuff is all super heavy solid-wood furniture, along with a really large leather couch. It all got here without the slightest ding or damage. Zak is awesome to work with while setting up over email and was really responsive to any questions I had. Plus I just dig the name. Solidarity is a pretty epic name for a pretty epic company. There are no downsides here. They are inexpensive, careful, kind, thoughtful and courteous. What more could you ask for? One thing for sure is I will continue to recommend them to everyone I know and to use them again for my next move. I would recommend them to my mother or my grandmother and not even think I needed to be there to help make sure everything went ok. That's saying a lot, because I take care of my people! read more

Solidarity Movers made my New Year's Day move a breeze. I reached out for a quote two weeks before my move after seeing them recommend in a mutual aid group Slack channel. The itemized system is great, and honestly was helpful for in terms of planning my packing! I got a prompt response and a great quote, and clear instructions about their policy's and completing my booking. Communication was spot on, and they reached out a few days prior to the move to confirm their arrival time. The day of, I was in touch with Brian, who came in and started getting the job done. Another mover joined him and had me out of my old place in under an hour, and were prompt in unloading the truck into the new place. I am so glad I used them for my move, my last mover was a nightmare. From excellent early communication to a fair prize (under $400 before tip) for my move, I highly recommend them! Thanks for helping me start 2021 on a good note. read more

Okay, this is a few weeks late as I utilized their services September 1st but I nevertheless must share how impressive Solidarity was! From the minute I reached out to them with a quote and got a speedy, literate response I knew that I would be using their services for my move. It was my first time hiring movers (usually a friend of a friend or a neighbor with a truck does the deed) and I was only ~slightly~ overwhelmed by the process. (I was overwhelmed.) Their verbiage is very much, we are young professionals and we are here to make this easy and non-intimidating and fun and I felt comfortable every step of the way. I reached out to them for a quote fairly late at night, got a response almost immediately and scheduled my move with them hours after. The quote that they gave me was an immediate yes - compared to other movers (independent and corporate backed) was very realistic and wasn't super inflated. I know that covid has resulted in a lot of people leaving/moving out of the city so I know the demand is high but with that being said, they still gave a me a very fair quote (I was only moving a 1.2 mile distance away but you wouldn't believe how astronomical all of the other quotes were). I believe in pricing your services, skills, talents for what they are truly worth and they didn't cheat themselves but they also didn't overcharge. The day of the move the Forman (Brian) texted me 30 minutes prior to arrival (I booked a 9a-12p window) and they showed up promptly at 9a! The movers were so friendly, they had their masks on and were so quick! I was moved from point A to point B and settled in at 10a - 1 hour after they arrived. Unreal! Solidarity movers truly impressed me and I would wholeheartedly recommend hiring them and tipping them well; they deserve it! read more

I have used Solidarity Movers twice in the past 5 years to move and each time has been smooth sailing. For each move, they have been very reliable, the prices very reasonable and the move went smoothly. I will review my most recent move, but both moves were equally great. The movers were punctual, texting beforehand to let me know they were en route. They were professional and caring, especially given the challenges of Covid-19. When they arrived the lead mover of the team reviewed with me their plan and what I wanted to be wrapped, etc. They brought heavy blankets to wrap my furniture for transport and did so carefully to ensure nothing was damaged. At the storage facility, they arranged items inside so the space was utilized but items were safe. The whole time they were very nice and made the experience stress-free. I was really happy with both my experiences and highly recommend them to anyone who finds themselves in need of movers. read more

Solidarity Movers were extremely professional and helped to make our move quick and easy. They're very responsive by email, are very competitively priced, and took great care of all of our furniture. Even with a stop at a storage facility on the way, the entire job was done in just a few hours. Really couldn't have asked for better. read more

I cannot recommend Solidarity Movers enough! Zak ran the move as smoothly as possible in terms of organization, asking us what we needed, and going through a thorough consultation over the phone. I liked that they provided a flat rate no matter *how* long the movers take to do the job. Brian was the point of contact for both packing and moving days-- Zak offered to have a flat rate move and pack and said it would most likely have to be split up over two days. This estimate was correct, as we also included furniture disassembly and reassembly with the full service move. I don't think anyone enjoys moving (least of all, us) but Brian and the rest of his team were thorough, transparent and polite through the entire process. They were extremely efficient, and let us know estimated time lines and kept things on track. We were grateful to have Solidarity Movers provide us with a flat rate as it was transparent in the beginning and there was no worries about going "over time" or anything. While they weren't the cheapest out there, I do like that they partner up with local non-profits for free services. I would not hesitate to move again with Solidarity Movers if I had to move again-- they made it simple, easy and relatively painless (especially during a pandemic.) read more

In two words: excellent service! Great communication, costumer service, speed, price and care while handling my furniture and belongings. Will definitely hire them in the future. Thank you Zak, Eugene and Mike for all your help and patience ! read more

Really great movers! They gave me the best quote out of the 3 other places I called and they were very specific about everything I had, no guessing. David and Ryan moved my things and they were so polite to talk, very personable and worked hard up 5 flights of stairs, doing it as efficient and carefully as they can! I couldn't ask for a smoother move! It just felt like they knew exactly what they were doing. read more

This was truly the easiest move I've ever had, and could not have been happier with the hard work the three guys put in. Mike was a great lead for the team, kept me informed on everything that was happening, and kept the whole thing on track. I will definitely be recommending your company to others!!! read more

The movers were so nice and got my apartment packed into the truck in about an hour. It was the smoothest move I've ever had. They had no issue moving large items up and down multiple flights of stairs and were even nice enough to move my trash onto the sidewalk. After reading horror stories of other moving companies, I'm so glad I chose to go with Solidarity! If you're moving around NYC, I can't recommend them enough. read more

I've used these guys several times now for my moves and each time they took a stressful experience and made it as pleasant as a move could possibly be. Zak answers my emails quickly with great attention and cares about my needs. His guys show up on time and ready and treat you with kindness and respect as they get.the.job.done. Let them help you move- it'll change everything!! read more

Complicated moving situation. Ready for the task movers. I loved from Dallas to NYC using a Pod. What seemed like a great idea turned into an ordeal that Solidarity Movers were able to tackle. Brian and Eddie came out to the Pod facility in Jamaica Queens and moved everything so swiftly. The packing was immaculate, the conversations were delightful and the moving was a breeze. Everything was properly protected and they made sure things didn't get scratched or break. If I move again, definitely going to hit these guys up. And last but not least, they were very affordable! Would highly recommend to a friend or family and I recommend anyone reading this . read more

I decided to hire Solidarity Movers recently with my move in Brooklyn. They had the best rate amongst several other moving companies and was willing to match. They are so efficient with communicating and truly care about the service they provide. Eddie and his partner were reliable and very careful with our furniture...down to the shelf knobs for the entertainment center. I highly recommend Solidarity Movers for your moving needs. read more

Eddie, Cris, and Jamal really came together to help me move. They were helpful in every way, and I somehow enjoyed the move--like, they were good company. They moved everything perfectly, transferred all the clothes hanging in my closet to a garment box, and even picked up a couple things I didn't notice, including a delivery from downstairs! There are a lot of moving companies out there; I'm glad I found this one. I won't have to look again for whenever my next move is read more

I had a great, stress-free experience with Solidarity. I got a few quotes from movers, near both the locations I was moving from and moving to. Solidarity contacted me the same evening to get the details ironed out, and the price provided the next day was very competitive. Their communications around their policies, inventory, etc. were very clear, which I appreciated because we all know how stressful moving can be! The move itself was very quick. The movers were friendly and super-efficient. I enjoyed working with Solidarity and would recommend them to anyone who's moving. read more

Absolutely amazing job, they gave me a clear breakdown of the quote immediately and then came and moved two rooms of furniture and possessions in the space of two hours including disassembling my bed and then setting everything up in my new place exactly where I wanted it. The movers were super friendly, professional and fast, I was genuinely impressed, oh and they did this all THE DAY I called them to instigate the move. I think I called around 10am and was moved into my new place already by around 5pm. So, a last minute emergency situation ended up a breeze and this is all because my original mover fell through. Well, I'm only ever using Solidarity from now on and recommending them to everyone I know. PS their quote was even cheaper than the other movers so I added extra to the tip. Thanks Solidarity, you rock!!! read more

Solidarity Movers - Movers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

[this review is 2 months late] For me, the best compliment I can give a moving company is that they were easy. Their price was predictable, they are used to the daily issues of Brooklyn - with the limited parking etc and most importantly were punctual. In and out with a smile on their face and no fuss. I moved a short distance from one place in Brooklyn to another. The place I was moving to didn't have parking and was right opposite a police station. And the apartment didn't have air conditioning (yet) - in peak summer. I also took the service where they would take apart my Ikea Hemnes bed and assemble it again as well. I can confirm that the bed is well put together and there have been no issues. read more

Absolutely flawless move,if your looking to move,and need a moving company,Solidarity Movers is the moving company you need. Excellent communication from the quote stage,to actual move day. Brian and his crew were well beyond my expectations,personable,easy to talk to,and efficient. If your on the fence about choosing a moving company,look no further,you won't be disappointed! read more

My wife and I have moved twice with Solidarity Movers, once from Jersey City to Queens and once within Queens. Both times were great. Everyone at Solidarity communicates clearly and makes the day of the move stress-free. read more

Worked with Solidarity Movers yesterday and they were absolute great!! They made the entire moving process a breeze and stress free. I had a last minute move out date and they came to my rescue. They gave me an affordable quote and were clear in communication. The team was quick in response and answered any questions I had. During the actual move, the guys were very fast, organized and took very good care of my furniture and belongings. They were super nice, great positive energy, and didn't make make the day a drag. Thank you guys!! You are rockstars read more

I hate moving and haven't used a moving service in over a decade, but the team at Solidarity was super patient and answered all my questions prior to the move date. Everyone from Eugene, who I worked with over email, to Cris the foreman and Vlad and Ryan on the crew made my interstate move incredibly smooth and easy. Their communication, professionalism and friendliness were key to my experience, and they exhibited so much care in wrapping up our furniture and caution in moving the items out of my apartment and into my house. Cris even inspected the leg on a dresser we had suspected could be bent or broken and was able to tighten it up for us during the drop off. These guys went above and beyond, and I wouldn't hesitate recommending them or using them again in the future. read more

I have used Solidarity Movers for my last two moves, and I have been satisfied each time. They were nice, professional, and efficient each time. Moving is always stressful, but they have made my last two moves much more manageable. read more
