California New York Express

My husband and I were beyond impressed with California New York Express! It was our first time using movers, and from start to finish we felt informed and supported. From the video links on how to pack, to the day-of move, to then helping us assemble our furniture at our destination, our movers helped us every step of the way. To top if off, all of our items were accounted for and arrived in one piece. California New York Express was also the cheaper option by far. A win-win all around. Thank you for making our move so seamless!

Moving is very stressful but moving across the country takes the cake. So many details involved leading up to the move date. I made so many changes regarding my shipment, but Josh was a total champ about it all. He was very transparent about all costs and made the process very simple.
The move date, 3 men showed up and they were extremely professional and FAST. The knocked everything out in 2 hours. Easy breezy. My shipment arrived very quickly and the men on the receiving end were just as fast & professional. I am very happy with the service and the price cannot be beat! Since then I have referred California New York Express to 2 people. 5 stars all the way!! Thank you.

I loved that I was able to adjust my inventory online as I packed, so that I can accurately estimate the total cost of my move.

The movers were super friendly, prompt, thorough, fast, clean and careful with all our belongings. They went out of their way to pack as efficiently as possible, going so far as to disassemble some items so they shipped better.

The delivery was also carefully done and the process made sure all of our items were delivered.

Overall, was totally satisfied with the service and price, and with everyone involved in both ends!!

When I received a job offer in San Francisco, I was terrified about the thought of moving across the country from New York City. Luckily, a friend had recommended CA NY Express. First off, coordinating with the CA NY team before the move was extremely easy. The company's inventory estimate system was easy to use and helped give me a reasonable quote. In fact, my quote was almost spot on compared to my actual costs incurred. Furthermore, CA NY Express was always responsive when answering all of my emails with questions about the move (Josh was awesome!).

When it came time to move, I was terrified of moving from NYC, but CA NY Express was awesome! They were able to find parking, then quickly packed my belongings and wrapped fragile items with lots of care. I had some old antiques and the team did a great job wrapping them!

During the move, the CA NY Team was great about keeping me in the loop. In addition, my new home in San Francisco was on a narrow street, so they helped coordinate a smaller truck for the move. The team did a great job unloading and I was very happy!

Overall, I would certainly recommend using CA NY Express! I had a very positive experience!

I am SO pleased with how everything went. Moving cross country is stressful enough, needless to say they were also moving my piano which made me very nervous at first! The piano showed up incredible and even held it's tune!! A serious Godsend, I worked so hard to find a decent company. CA NY express went above and beyond. I have already referred the company to many friends. I liked the professional demeanor of the movers. I also really appreciated the customer service. When I called everyone was very nice, not pushy and it really felt as if I was calling a smaller office. A bit odd here this next comment but it was a pleasant surprise: I also got the feeling that everyone there know each other and gets along pretty well. Dave was particularly helpful. .

After searching through many moving companies, I spoke to CA-NY Express and they were very professional and answered all my questions. I was hesitant in the beginning as I thought it was impossible for our move to be this easy without a single problem- but with CA-NY Express the move really was smooth and great. They gave me a quote and stuck to it- my main concern was that it would be more and there would be all these "hidden costs", but no! They were upfront and went through the quote with me and explained everything. The guys that came to collect our stuff made sure all our furniture was wrapped perfectly, they were fast and very efficient. Not a single item of ours was broken or damaged and we had a lot of little odds and ends that could've easily been broken. The logistics team kept in contact throughout the move and sent me updates and answered any question I had. I would highly recommend this company as the move could not have been easier! Great team, from sales to logistics to the actual movers.

I cannot say enough good things about California-New York Express movers. Every step of the way, the team was superb with communication. My pick up and delivery both went so smoothly--movers on both ends were friendly and helpful. For instance, they filled up all the extra room in my boxes with paper when they picked up for delivery, which is something I forgot to think about. All of my things arrived undamaged, and the moving team was super organized. CNYX made my job easy. I would use their services again and again.

From the first phone call to the final delivery of our things, the staff at CA/NY EXPRESS couldn't have been more helpful, courteous, informative, and kind! My mom had recently passed away, so I was moving many of her things in her LA home to my home in NJ. I sat on the floor and cried for some of the time that the pick up personnel were loading boxes and furniture into the truck. They were kind and compassionate about my loss. They took such care of loading her things. The delivery timing was as they said..and there were phone calls along the way to inform me of the status. On the delivery to my home, the men were equally as helpful and careful with our things.. I would use them again, and I highly recommend this company for your coast to coast move. They were the best!

Excellent moving experience!. This company is amazing!! I have moved cross country multiple times and have used this company twice. Both experiences were by far superior to others. They were honest and upfront about all charges. They offered the best prices. They were very thorough, prompt, efficient, they handled my things with care and professional. The staff in both offices were very professional, kind, friendly, honest and efficient. I highly recommend this company.. I only wish I could give them more than 5 stars!

I used CA NY Express to move from NYC to San Francisco and it was awesome! I had most of my stuff ready to go with some loose items in the apartment. The movers came and double wrapped everything and put my loose stuff into boxes for me. It was honestly such an easy move. I let the movers in and ran my errands for the day and when I got back, everything was done. The price was very reasonable too.

Moving from SF to NY I used a pod service and had to do everything myself. I had less stuff and funny enough it cost the same and I had to do everything myself.

If I ever do the cross country move again, I'll definitely use CA NY Express again!

Keep in mind to keep cash on you for tipping the movers.

NYC Express movers was amazing to work with! We moved from San Francisco to NYC. As we all know, moving is such a pain and you are worried that things will get lost, damaged or the moving team will be in a bad mood because..who likes moving?! They changed my negative attitude towards moving completely into a positive, worry-free experience. Every person I interacted with throughout my move was responsive, in good spirits, always happy to help, and never made me feel guilty for having to pack a few things for me here or there. The guys who picked up our stuff were extremely efficient! The guys who delivered my things even moved traffic in NYC to park their truck to get my stuff delivered - incredible! They did whatever it took to get my things delivered and had a smile the whole time. I would highly recommend anyone who is moving cross country to use this company.

From receiving a quote within hours to delivering our items safe and sound, we've appreciated the great communication along the way and the positive attitude of our onsite mover crew!

They showed up on time, delivered sooner than estimated and simply made this move a very exciting and smooth one. We can definitely recommend this service to everyone looking to move from coast to coast.

What we especially liked about the process was daily tracking of our shipment and email communication with an adviser who is assigned to you and who is in constant contact with the moving crew.

Thanks again for all of your help! We wouldn't have been able to do it without you!

I had an excellent experience with CA-NY Express. After 9 years I decided to move back to LA from NYC (east village). After doing some research, I called CA-NY Express and was immediately impressed by the customer service. I got a very reasonable and affordable quote, and the customer service rep was happy to answer my list of questions about packing, timing, and process. The movers came on time and were very professional and knew exactly what they were doing (parking a large truck on a small busy street in the east village was not a problem for them). It was a seamless, quick and easy process. They delivered my belongings in perfect condition to my LA home. CA NY express offers free storage for up to 30 days and delivery is included in the overall price. Being so overwhelmed with such a big life change, I felt so lucky to have picked this company/service. They made my life a lot easier.

I moved a 1-bedroom from New York City to the Bay Area (Peninsula). I surveyed multiple companies for quotes and CA-NY Express gave a competitive quote along with an in-person estimate. They were prompt in terms of the timing and facilitated an end of month move.

There was no issue or damage with furniture moved including a dresser and a couch. The self-packed boxes did not have an issue. The movers were friendly in reconciling the lists on both ends. In addition, once the truck was moving across the country, you received an email with a daily update on where the truck was. I would recommend the company for another move.

My wife and I had a relatively small move of about twenty packed boxes and a few pieces of furniture from Los Angeles to Connecticut. I researched companies for about a week, and I was having a hard time finding companies that both seemed legit and didn't have an incredibly high minimum charge. During a Google search I ran across CA-NY Express Movers and I am more than happy that I did.

From the beginning, I was struck by the fact that I never received any unnecessary scam-like calls to ask about my move once I gave them my info (I still get calls from other companies I declined). My consultant, Eric, was easy to work with and super responsive to my emails and calls. The first estimate I got was half that of all the other companies I had contacted, including an added guaranteed delivery date. I was even more surprised at drop-off when my final price was exactly what I had been quoted online!

On both sides of the move, the movers called me before arrival and were quick and professional. My stuff was picked up on the date I had reserved, and dropped off on the date I had guaranteed (for a relatively cheap add-on). I also received daily email updates about where my things were.

Overall, I have no complaints or negative things to say about this company. This move went so much better (and cheaper) than I had expected it to go, and I truly believe that is because I found this company. If I have to move back to LA for any reason, I will absolutely be going with CA-NY Express Movers again!

I am not generally inclined to write reviews however, the very rosy reviews of this company are highly suspect to me. My items arrived in NY with EXCESSIVE wear. ALL Of the boxes were crushed, 1/3 of the moving blankets "protecting" my furniture had holes from wear during transit and I found a number of broken items in boxes (including a metal grill pan that was broken). I have moved cross country twice and understand that moving takes a toll on your stuff. This however was more than excessive.

Additionally, the movers did not practice social distancing, took off their masks and refused to wash their hands. Upon delivery one was talking to his friend about how he wasn't feeling well.

I would choose another company.

Don't use this company. They have not responded to my complaints, which I share for you here:

Things started off great with quick responses from customer service and a sleek interface for getting a quote. The quote was pricey, but I decided that it must be because of the distance and good service. I was wrong. Things go downhill from here.

The move out of our 2 bedroom 1.5 bath apartment took 5 hours. We packed 100% of the items, so it is unclear why it took so long. When we moved out of our same-sized apartment, the movers from another company took 2 hours. Even my neighbors commented that they were surprised the movers were at the apartment for so long.

The movers spent excessive time and material wrapping and tapping items including those that did not require wrapping (e.g., a foam dog bed, a plastic desk chair mat, a plastic garbage can). The total charge for wrapping was $1,400, which is excessive. (Oh, and the plastic desk chair mat broke and has a big crack in it.)

The movers dropped several boxes on the ground outside when loading them on a dolly to move them from the property into the truck. There is damage to various items. None of them are priceless, but it is very disappointing given the price tag for this move. They also didn't inform me that it happened. I watched it happen through the window. Very unprofessional.

I was not allowed to verify the cubic feet in the truck, which would have been important to confirm that it matched the quoted number. Our movers to CA (other company) allowed us into the truck and showed the markings on the side that indicated how much space had been used with our items.

There was a huge issue with billing since the transaction was canceled as it was processing. They asked me to run a different credit card even though my bank had shown the withdrawal. Very shady. The issue is likely with their credit card processing vendor Clover, but there was a deep lack of empathy and ability to come up with a solution that would resolve any additional stress. I asked multiple times to get the accounting team to talk with my bank, and the customer service rep refused to put me in contact with them.

The movers scuffed the wall in both of my apartments.

The movers took with them a package of face masks that I had out for myself that was near where they put their coats/things and was not there when they left. They didn't pack the masks with any of my items. I assume this was by mistake.

The movers broke my water filter by dropping it on the ground after using it to pour water. I bought the movers Gatorade, but they used up all the gatorade and asked to use the Brita filter. They broke it when attempting to refill it.

This list has also been sent to the company, and they have no responded.

Not worth the money. I would not recommend it.
