- they would house my belongings in their storage facility, one month, for free. That was fine with me until after they charged me $250 for the storage.

  Horrible! This company may scam you. DO NOT USE THEM!
  
  This company is a scam and will cheat you out of your money.
  
  I called available movers to move my 4 bedroom home from New Jersey into a storage facility in the Bronx while my new home was being renovated. Over the phone "Sam" quoted me $1350. The movers were supposed to arrive at 11a.m. However, they did not get there and begin until 12 and when they got there they took their sweet time. By the time everything was done it was 10p.m. at night. My storage facility closes at 7p.m so available movers said if they weren't able to finish by then, clearly they made sure of that, they would house my belongings in their storage facility, one month, for free. That was fine with me until after they charged me $250 for the storage. When Robert Gillmoore aka "Rob" finished the job the move was priced at $1665, for additional hours. I tried to pay him cash but he couldn't provide a cash receipt and kept insisting that the invoice, which stated that the $1665 was my BALANCE, was the receipt. I, obviously, wasn't going for that. So, I attempted to pay with my card but he said he would have to handle this tomorrow because he was "tired". The next day I was informed of my new balance of $1965 for…
- They are currently holding my belongings hostage and refusing to deliver because I haven't agreed to pay additional unsubstantiated costs.

  WORST Company.
  
  Our initial move was horrid; including leaving our belongings (which we paid to store) behind and charging us to return for them to complete the job to which they didn't show up twice when we paid to reserve a freight elevator, were on a deadline to vacate and paused our daily business.. Customer service was just as bad, with an agent on the phone becoming so volatile, someone had to step in and remove them from the call. Once in storage we could not get our items released to any other moving company, they would not return our calls and stated to reserve 3 weeks in advance, find a moving company with a 5 million dollar insurance policy (when NYC only requires 1m) and pay a $250.00 fee. We were forced to use Available again, or forfeit our items -- which took 2 months to confirm (all the while delaying the return of our property and incurring us rent charges). Even if a company had existed with more than triple the required insurance, they conveyed a very clear feeling that if we were not to use them, there would not be anything to retreive. When our things were delivered, we were told they would be reassembled. Unfortunately, they conveniently lost the box of all of our…

  Do Not Use!!
  
  These guys should have had the decency to wear a mask when they robbed me. I put a deposit down for a certain date and had a cleaners scheduled to come based on this date. They showed up 4 days late. I had to pay the cleaning company for just showing up and than again when they actually cleaned. Halfway through the move they transfered my stuff to another moving company. The new company showed up 7 days late. The move was promised to take 14 days. It took 21 days. They day they showed up I wasn't there so they charnged me a $300 storage fee. Run away from this company. .
- The company is the WORST I have experienced as far as communication, professionalism, and just plain doing their job.

  Worst Moving Company.
  
  I've made a few long distance moves now, state to state, and this is my first and last time using Available Movers. The company is the WORST I have experienced as far as communication, professionalism, and just plain doing their job. It's not rocket-science, you pick up items, drive them, and drop them off. The fact that they cannot keep track of customer's belongings is RIDICULOUS. Someone needs to teach them how to itemize items on a packing slip and you should check every little box and item you have on your list before the movers drive away with your money. Their inventory list is worthless so make sure you write your own and check off each from your own list when they deliver. 3 items were undelivered and now I have to continue dealing with this horrible company through the claim process as no one, of course, can tell me where my three missing items are. Customer service doesn't get back to you. They are NOT open always. I don't know why it says that on this Facebook page. They don't answer the phone on Sundays and they transfer you to customer service to deal with you (whom don't give you any answers either). They are only helpful, pleasant, and responsive when they are…

  Destroyed Furniture.
  
  Please go else where! This moving company destroyed my furniture and did not even offer to pay for half of its costs. Never in my life have I experienced a moving company more unprofessional than this. They declared my furniture a total loss, took it, and then did not offer to pay me even half of what its worth.
  
  If you like your furniture and intend on keeping throughout a move, go elsewhere.
- My video camera, antique chair from my grandmother, stereograph and all the pictures were stolen.

  Available Movers The Worst in The us.
  
  Available Movers has got to the absolute worst moving company. Available Movers Lies about the pricing to get you to use them. Available Movers uses a bait and switch technique AND gouges you once they show up in your driveway. Once they load the truck they present you with paperwork that essentially says we have 21 business days to deliver your belongings after Available Movers gives you a date to pick up the belonging to be there on time. Even after calling Available Movers Office, speaking with the OWNER I was assured that this language is on everyone's paperwork but I was guaranteed a November 18th delivery. Available Movers called and asked if we could take delivery early, I had the lease changed on the apartment and they never put the furniture on the truck to Utah. I was supposed to move my son today into his apartment in Utah. Available Movers arrived on site on November 3rd to pick up the furniture. Available Movers project manager is a liar and a cheat. He made us spend 3X the quoted price. Available Movers even though they gave us a delivery date lied and never contacted us to tell us that our delivery date was not going to be reached despite our calls to they offices…

  Moving.
  
  This mover never contacted me for an estimate even though I called twice. Quoted me a rate that was half of what I actually ended up paying. Also, I had an argument with the movers as they refused to move some of my belongings saying that there was no more room. It was only after I checked the truck and saw there was plenty of room did they moved the items. They also made it known from the start that a tip was required.
- My experience with this company was extremely unprofessional and deplorable.

  Stay Away From These Crooks.
  
  STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! **READ BELOW** I cannot stress that enough to anyone who reads these reviews. My experience with this company was extremely unprofessional and deplorable. Read the complaints on the Better Business Bureau (http://www.bbb.org/new-york-city/Business-Reviews/movers/available-movers-storage-inc-in-astoria-ny-85833/complaints) to learn the truth about how this company operates. For more proof - don't just look at the recommended Yelp reviews - look at the 46 reviews Yelp says are "not recommended" (http://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/uxsBgCgbMUo6JVEkxqLZMg) that is where you find the truth. All the ratings and you'll see the 1 star reviews have a common theme as far as feeling scammed. Long story short - I was quoted for a specific amount of time - told that I would only be charged for what I use. I ended up fighting with the dispatcher who was trying to charge me for 8 hours when the guys had only used 4. I overheard him fighting with the moving men at the job for not over charging me. Told him "that is how we do things" "you know we make sure we over charge them" (Yeah that's how loud they were arguing). When they got off the phone the…

Worst company ever.

This is the worst company ever they lie and steal, I had to file a complaint with the BBB.I f you are smart do not do business with this company. Still trying to get my boxes, on their claim slip they give you phone numbers that are not working. If you are looking for a good company keep looking. Available movers suck.

Local move within New York

Moving experience.

I recently moved to a new place and used Available movers as my moving company- and that was the best decision I could take! these guys made my move smooth and painless. The team arrived on time and immediately started working. wrapping all my stuff very professionally end efficiently. I have a lot of fragile and delicate things and they made sure everything came in in one peace. They were very quick with bringing stuff up and the whole moving took only 3! hours. I would defiantly recommend them as THE moving company if you want a quality service and a decent price.

Service cost: $400
