A Moveable Feat

I have never hired movers before and the huge selection on companies in NYC can be daunting. I decided to go with A Moveable Feat after a friend hired them for full packing and a very short distance move and had a good experience. I loved the ease of the website to create my inventory, the very prompt responses that I received via email, rather than phone (great option for busy people, instead of wasting time playing phone tag), and the ease of scheduling and producing insurance paperwork. The flat rate for my move was very reasonable, and I was able to add packing for just the kitchen and a specific closet, also very reasonably priced. Even though my box count and inventory didn't turn out like I had submitted, they honored the flat rate without question. They worked very quickly and efficiently, moved my furniture with amazing ease and had already finished unloading and even arranging my living room and bedroom furniture before I had even arrived at my new place. Nothing was lost or damaged during my move, a feat that I did not think was possible. Even though it was 7pm when they took down my payment information and left, I had my receipt in my email that evening. All in all a wonderful experience that made a stressful time in my life a lot easier!

Vitaly and his team is amazing. They are the best movers I have ever used. My other experience with another company "Merit Van Lines" is a joke.

Vitaly and his team arrived promptly and moved my apartment down from NYC to DC smoothly. The Flat rate is as they said. Flat rate. No hidden fees unlike some other companies that quote you x price and then charge you 3x. The other company (Merit Van Lines) I used, parked around the corner from the entrance and charged me $500 for the "extra walking distance." Vitaly and his team did no such thing even though they also were unable to park directly in front of the entrance. They were super fast, super efficient and I would use these guys again in a heartbeat for any move. They are highly recommended!! Make sure you tip them well! :).

This past December my husband and I hired A Moveable Feat to move our family home from NJ to LI based on a friend’s referral. We spoke with the manager several times about the job and he assured us that there would be no extra fees. We’ve been burned several times in the past with lousy moving companies so we were really nervous, but could not be any happier with our move. They packed our dining and kitchen and did a brilliant job. No dishes lost, damaged or broken. I would recommend this company to all my friends. They were courteous, showed up with a smile and got to work quickly. Great job!

I had a a terrible experience with these movers. My only guess is that since they were on an hourly rate, they milked it for as much as they possibly could. I have never seen movers move so slowly. My husband and I both ended up moving boxes ourselves but not even that could hurry up the movers. They even took a 25 minute lunch break and then charged us for the time.

When we expressed our dismay at their pace, they assured us that unloading would go much faster. This was another lie. To top everything off, at the end of the move, the movers tried to shake us down for even more of a tip then we already had given them despite our complete dissatisfaction with the move. Unbelievable.

There are good moving companies out there. This is just not one of them.
