    Super Mario, Andres, and Michael did an amazing job with my cross country moving pod unload! Simi in the office was also a pleasure to work with to coordinate insurance forms with my building. I'm in a walkup, and they expertly unloaded the entire container and placed things well without making any accidents or dents. They even were able to get my huge furniture around tight corners! The best thing is that they quote you a flat price per hour. There's no surprises like other moving companies around steps or boxes or insurance or whatever. I would definitely use them again, no hesitations. Go with U Santini and have peace of mind with your move.

    Moving from Queens to Brooklyn, I contacted U. Santini on the recommendation of a coworker. I submitted my phone number and was contacted for a quote the following day. The price I was given was very reasonable for a 1-person move, and I was told I was at the minimum and could even pack 5 to 10 more boxes and the price would be the same. Really cool. As I was packing, I realized, yep, I have way more crap than I thought I did and ended up packing over double the amount of boxes I told them. The movers showed up promptly, and Super Mario assessed my stuff. Then, the unbelievable happened. It felt like I turned around for five minutes, and all my boxes and furniture were already moved out. These guys work smart and lightning fast--the entire move only took THREE HOURS including an hour of travel time. They're also very friendly and professional. Upon inspection at my new apartment, I can't find any damage to my belongings whatsoever. And what I was charged was somehow even less than the quote, because they used packing materials efficiently and sparingly. I highly, highly recommend U. Santini, and ask for Super Mario if possible.

    We are still recovering from our stressful move, but it's still one of the best moving experiences we've ever had due to the hard work of the people at U. Santini Moving. It started with a very quick reply to my inquiry, then continued with an almost spot-on estimate by Simi, who came to our apartment (fully masked and vaxed), then went around with his clipboard taking notes. We worked like crazy to get things packed, but COVID took a week, so of course we were running behind. No worries! On moving day, Mario and the crew showed up at 8:57 with a big pack of tape and plenty of blankets. They're as fast as they are careful, and it was pretty amazing to watch (this was the part where spouse and I just kind of gave up getting anything else done ourselves and let these whirlwinds do their magic). Next, they drove over to the storage locker we'd rented and quickly packed the contents into the truck, too! (Btw, renting that space was one of the smartest decisions we've ever made, because we didn't have to live in a box fort for a month.) Delivery of our stuff was set up for the next day because of the distance and timing of our move. First thing in the morning, they were there, waiting to start the delivery train. This time, there was a long trek up to our apartment, so they set up like a conveyor belt and moved the dollies along. (So much stuff. It's wrong and it's painful. ANYWAY.) Dan even called us a day or two after to make sure we were satisfied with how everything went. Okay, at this moment, I remember the names of about half the guys, but we wrote them down . . . somewhere. And when I find it, I will update with the specifics, because each of them was so helpful, polite, kind, and effective, they deserve individual recognition. But now . . . I've got boxes to open and work to do. UPDATE: Still trying to fit my kitchenware into a space about half the size, but I found my notes with the guys names! They were amazing, and having moved several times in NYC (like everyone else?), we know what we're talking about. We'd specifically like to thank John, Billy, and Andres, and Oscar, who spent so much time and effort helping us get at the boxes deposited in the right places. Lastly, just know that there's a reason they call him "Super Mario": the man is a wiz at organizing and motivating the crew. We couldn't have done it without y'all!

    Dyker Heights

    I was new to using movers and after some quick research I decided to give them a shot. Solidarity…read moreMovers 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

    Summary: + good price…read more+ 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!

    tl;dr Dispatch was great, crew was horrible…read more I want to be fair. Dispatch was professional, helpful, and the price was reasonable, especially for short notice. I wasn't pushed to give more of a tip, although I did tip more than recommended. I was initially really satisfied, but have since discovered they deliberately damaged a 6-level stacked metal card cabinet. When I included it in the inventory, I wasn't aware there were still items in the drawers. Our move was extremely chaotic, and the moving service that we used prior, checked all drawers to make sure they were empty, before moving items. People make mistakes, especially in stressful circumstances. Nonetheless, I accept that the responsibility of checking was still ultimately mine. However, if I had been made aware there were still items inside, I would have apologized, and either offered to pay more, or moved the drawers myself. After arriving at the new location, my son heard clinking sounds, as one of the movers walked past him smirking, while shaking and swinging the drawers, one in each hand. He then threw the drawers on their sides, onto one of my metal bookcases, which was apparently repeated for all 6 stacks. Between the throwing and shaking, the outer surfaces of the drawers and top of the bookcase were scratched and scuffed. The individual drawers were so badly dented that I had trouble putting several back in once removed, to retrieve the items that had been flung into the very back, past the drawers. They could have refused to take the cabinet, like they did with several boxes I had pointed out at the beginning of the move as needing to be prioritized. I had to beg and offer them more money to get those boxes onto the truck, because they said they'd already taken enough items. It wasn't until they called dispatch that they were told I had preemptively paid more the day before, because I didn't want to risk undercounting the boxes and other items. Dispatch said I didn't owe anything more, and told them to take the boxes. I was trying to understand why this crew didn't simply decline to move the cabinet, like with the boxes. They would have been well within their rights, because it violated their company's policy. Given the smirking and throwing, the only conclusion I can make is that this crew found messing with customers and damaging their items, fun.

    This year has been a lot of moving for me, and moving is so stressful. I've heard great reviews…read morefrom my nyc friends about roadway moving, so I decided to get a quote from them. After talking to them, I knew I wanted to go with them. Their customer service, attention to details, and organization are 5-star levels. One thing that really stood out to me was that instead of asking me how many boxes I need, they asked me to send them pics of my place and stuff, and they calculated the number of small, medium and large boxes I need. It's so easy to underestimate and get a different price at the end. Also, I know I wanted packers because its speeds up the entire process of moving and settling in. I'm so glad I did with Roadway. It usually takes me over half a week to pack and be stressed for over a week, but Diego and his 3 teammates packed up our studio in 2-3 hours. They're so professional. They moved so quickly with care and accuracy. Most importantly, all my kitchen appliances were wrapped with care and delivered and arrived to my new apartment in the same condition. It took us about 2 hrs to settle in, and they once again unpacked most of the furnitures and reassembled them, making me feel settled in and relaxed. I cannot thank their team enough. They're all so polite, friendly and efficient. Within 1 day, I already feel 95% settled in. It's the easiest, stress-free moving experience I had in a while!

They broke our special chandelier that was supposed to be packed with peanuts and had one blanket, both our TVs and our marble dining table in addition to many other items. Special crating legally falls under a different insurance standard but they offered the standard $.60/pound which doesn't come close to covering the damage. The damage was almost $50,000 and they offered $4000. We are tired of the lack of responsibility. It took months to even get that offered. Run to a different company!!! beware!
