    Two moves in two years with the moving guys...i was do happy the first time I requested the same crew.i was told I could have at least one of the men....non of those movers showed up! The move was ok until one of the men discovered my grandmother's antique mirror was broken. I called the owner Larry the next day and was told he had no idea that this happened.he sent me a claim form which I.promptly filled out...that was the last I heard from him.he would not answer my phone calls , or Emails.this u Is no way to run a business!

    My wife and I had a horrifying experience with these 'Moving Guys.' 1) Let's start with the most ridiculous: one mover, a driver no less, was literally drinking on the job, swaying and slurring his speech by the end the day. 2) In the midst of a global pandemic that's killed more than 16 thousand New Jerseyans, management DID NOT require their workers to wear masks when entering other people's homes and REFUSED to wear the ones we provided. 3) Despite prior agreement, confirmed three separate times, they showed up without required packing materials. We were forced to leave some items & later retrieve them on our own. 4) Their unpreparedness led to delay - which the crew bitterly complained about & led to haphazard placement of our furniture and created an uncomfortable atmosphere of annoyance and frustration towards us. 5) Terrible attitude and abrasiveness aside, they were bad at their job & completely reckless with our possessions. I am attaching a few pictures of the hundreds - if not thousands - of dollars of damage sustained to our things. Damage, we should note, we did not make a fuss over at the time because we wanted the whole, horrible experience to be over as soon as possible. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! I would be remiss if I did not mention that there were workers who were helpful, positive and clearly trying to compensate for the others and the incompetent company.

    These guys are slick. They moved my business and they weren't careful one bit. Damaged one of the filing cabinets. Spoke with a guy name LARRY.. who said someone will email me with the claim form... returned the claim form and they have not gotten back to us. It's JUNE and this happened END OF MARCH. Base on my observation, the guys that they hire to move stuff for this company LACKS COMPASSION. They smelled like cigarettes on top of their sweat. As a business owner, this is UNACCEPTABLE and it leaves me as a customer dry and pissed. Pro tip: don't hire these guys

    The Moving Guys helped me out on very short notice when I needed to get some stuff into storage. They were prompt and professional.

    Zip To Zip Moving

    I had a fantastic experience with Zip to Zip for my out-of-state move…read more Alanna Brown, my relocation specialist, was patient, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made the entire planning process easy and found me the best-priced moving date. All I had to do was send photos of my apartment--she accurately documented my inventory, provided a competitive quote, and, most importantly, the quote was honored with no surprises. On moving day, Ika and Soso arrived right on time. They worked quickly while taking great care of my belongings, and they were both friendly, professional, and genuinely enjoyable to chat with throughout the move. The entire move was completed just under the estimated time, and the final price matched the quote exactly. Reliable and transparent - highly recommend.

    Zip to Zip Moving DO…read moreNOT USE THIS COMPANY! Here are the FACTS of my experience. 1. They were scheduled to arrive between 8:00am to 9:00am and arrived at 10:45am. 2. Upon arriving at my new location, one backed up the truck while the other two didn't bother spotting him - the driver backed into my brick pillar breaking bricks and the light. They literally brought out some sort of epoxy and said they could fix it! I called the police who wrote up a crash report. I accepted the company's offer to take money off the cost of the move because I had no confidence that their insurance company would promptly pay - I feared I wouldn't end up with anything but a lot more frustration. 3. At the end of the move, I realized they had forgotten to move an elliptical machine that was in the basement - when I brought it to their attention, they said nothing and just left. 4. At my old house they left the garage doors open and lights on - my wife didn't want to have to drive back to the house but was worried they might have done something like this - totally irresponsible! 5. Without asking my permission, they borrowed my hand dolly. After they left, I found it in the backyard with a wheel broken off. (I sent the company a picture of it.) This is absolutely not acceptable. 6. They left packing material all over the house - when I asked about them taking it with them they said that isn't something they do. 7. They did not remove their shoes or put on "booties" even though it was raining out and caused significant scuff marks on my hard wood floor - which I also took a picture of. On June 23rd, I wrote an email to the customer service agent and a manager with whom I had been speaking. No reply. I followed-up with another email on June 24th and received a phone call saying that they would address my issues by the following day. It has now been over a month and I still have heard nothing. All of this is beyond outrageous! As a small business owner, I completely understand when "stuff happens" but when it does you do everything you can to "make it right" - not ignore the customer! Do not use this company!!!

The two movers arrived exactly at the scheduled time listed in my agreement. They were friendly, professional, highly skilled, and incredibly efficient. I unexpectedly needed a few additional items boxed on moving day, and they handled everything without hesitation. Every item was packed and transported with great care. Nothing was broken, damaged, or missing. The move into my new space was just as smooth as the move out of my old one. They carefully followed all of the building's rules for elevator use, placed furniture exactly where I requested, and neatly stacked boxes in the appropriate rooms. What impressed me most was their professionalism and attention to detail. They communicated clearly throughout the process, regularly checked to make sure I didn't have any questions, and truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was done right. Before leaving, they removed all of the packing materials they had used and left both my old and new homes clean and tidy. The entire move stayed on schedule and was remarkably efficient. I honestly could not have been happier with how smoothly everything went. The two movers assigned to my move were truly exceptional--kind, courteous, hardworking, and diligent professionals who clearly take great pride in their work. Please extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation to both of them. They made what could have been a stressful day remarkably easy, and I hope they know how much I appreciated their professionalism, care, and dedication. They are wonderful representatives of your company. Thank you for such an outstanding moving experience. I will absolutely use your services again for any future moves and will gladly recommend your company to friends, family, and colleagues.

    College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving - New Brunswick

    Paul (owner) and College Hunks Hauling Junk were a horrible experience from start to finish…read more We booked this move two weeks in advance, so it was especially alarming when, the night before our scheduled move, Paul suddenly called me from his personal cellphone and said he had to come to our apartment that night for us to sign a quote, claiming he could not send it via email. This immediately felt odd and unnecessary. He came over late in the evening, which made the situation even more uncomfortable, and he gave off extremely creepy vibes. I do not recommend this company if you are a woman and would be alone with this man in your home. While there, he pushed me toward choosing the cheapest option for him, the one dollar per pound replacement coverage, which barely covers anything if items are damaged. I initially signed a different option, and he told me to cross it out and re sign where he told me to. This was a huge red flag. The next day, we had to sign the same contract again with the actual movers. I still do not understand why Paul needed to come over the night before, especially considering the move had been booked well in advance. It felt unnecessary and unsettling. After evaluating our apartment, Paul selected the truck size himself. He chose one that was too small and then blamed the issue on our street being too narrow, despite previously saying a truck would fit if neighbors moved their cars, which we did. Because of his poor planning, not all of our belongings fit, and we were forced to rent a U Haul on top of everything else. To make matters worse, the movers broke a glass door pane. When I raised the issue, Paul lied and claimed we asked for two hundred dollars off the bill, which is completely false. My only request was to speak with our landlord to coordinate replacement of the broken glass. Overall, this felt like a scheme rather than a professional moving service. Between the unnecessary late night visit, the pressure to sign specific paperwork, the poor planning, and the dishonesty afterward, this experience was stressful and uncomfortable. Buyer beware. P.S. He repeatedly bragged about being on a radio station once and mentioned his dad being a contractor at one point. It was uncomfortable.

I booked a full truckload to be on the safe side. The Hunks who arrived said I'd only be charged for a half truck if that's all I used. What a nice surprise! I did end up using the entire truck, but still. I appreciated their flexibility. They donate meals to hungry families with every job booked, and also donate to organizations who could use furniture. It's not often you find such a conscientious organization. Highly recommend!

We have moved multiple times in east cost always use the same mover from NY. This time thought of trying a NJ based mover. Here are the issues 1.Lack of professional behavior. They came inside saw that entryway table had a few bills picked them up asked me which currency it is. 2. One of the kitchen packers opens lid of my spice box (I had leaves and chillies puts his nose in sniffs and asks what is it? 3. Packed every little thing in white wrapper so unpacking was hell. Single stainless steel spoon wrapped in 4 layers of packing . 4. Who does this .packing open can of bleach with groceries. While unpacking I saw white dust thought its paint once I hit end of box it was bleach so ended up throwing everything from that box. Which professional mover does that 5. Random packing. I had very organized closet but they picked random items and packed in diff boxes so i had box with sweaters pillow covers photo frames and belts all from diff parts of closet. LASTLY we were given pricing we paid that by bill and paid $800 extra over that without receipt as they demanded that they packed box. When vector gave me a quote it included 10 medium boxes $20 per box but the guys packed everything with white wrapper in kitten not one but 4 sheets and increased boxes packed to 30 , unethically charging us for small boxes stuffed with white paper. Please note it was a very painful experience and no one deserves this kind of billing or nonsense
