Local move within New York, NY

Breach of contract, forgery and defamation!

I paid Dumbo $3295 in advance to pack and move my apartment and they literally did not show up. I incurred $550 in late fees from having to reschedule the move. When they did finally show up, an entire day late, they broke my desk ($40) and stole my lamp ($60). They then forged my signature on moving documents and lied to my bank (after I disputed the charges) saying that "the move went fine with no complaint from customer." Despite dozens of calls, texts and emails, (and full acknowledgement from Dumbo that I deserve a refund) I have not received one penny of my money back from Dumbo, and so now I am going to take them to court for my money back, and to sue for forgery of moving documents, and defamation to Bank of America. Whatever you do, do not hire Dumbo Moving.

Damages with no accountability

Absolutely unprofessional! Please read because they come across very cordial and accommodating until something goes wrong. Then they are just another corrupt, denying, third rate organization. The truth with any company, service or product, is not how nice they appear when nothing has happened but how they manage when something does go wrong. Dumbo moving will effectively tell you FU, it's not my problem even if their own employees agree that damage had occurred during the move. I even had agreed to get extra insurance but administrator either forgot of is now denying that I ever request for extra insurance. Regardless, over $10K of damages to my furniture and they say we are not responsible because they don't know what happened while it was sitting in my storage, still wrapped by their own handling! There's camera footage at the storage facility but they are ignoring it hoping that most customers will not follow up or take legal action because of inconvenience or expense. No one is perfect and accidents can happen. But it's how you manage after that counts. Do you want to take a risk with them?

Local move within New York, NY

Late, disorganized, incomplete, and clumsy.

They came so late that the buildings I was moving to and from were trying to close for the day. When they arrived, the movers thought they were only supposed to move a piano, and not my entire studio (even though I had said it was a full studio and paid extra for the piano, which is just an electric upright and not particularly unweildy for a piano). They had to call their superios who indeed told them it was a full studio, and clearly the movers themselves were underprepated for it. Then, despite requesting a van size recommended to me through the phone by Dumbo movers for a studio, they couldn't fit tons of stuff in the van, including a tv, aquarium tank, 6 rugs, 3 suitcases, a backpack, 2 art pieces, 4 chairs, a dining table, cleaning supplies, and fridge contents. And then, they refused to make a second trip.

So I had to, for 3 full days, move all that myself.

All my items were packaged extremely carefully, and professionally (tons of bubble wrap and packing paper), and they still managed to break several items, including those in a box labelled (in large letters) "FRAGILE, DO NOT TILT". That box also had safety packaging just in case, but it still got heavily damaged.

Would not use again.

Long-distance move from East Greenwich, RI to Chicago, IL

Very smoothly and tension-free

The movers marked all my chinaware as ‘delicate’ on numerous places in the crates that they were placed in. Upon my request, they also didn’t place them under heavy objects in the truck. Instead, they added protective barriers all over to prevent them from harm. They went the extra mile and I thank them sincerely for it!

Long-distance move from Alum Bank, PA to Camden, NJ

The crew performed a fantastic job!!!

It took me a while to move everything from the garage to my upstairs bedroom. The crew performed a fantastic job, especially considering the items' weight. Because they were so enthused and motivated, they completed the task far faster than expected.

Great crews going out and coming in

This was my second move with Dumbo and a second great experience. Both the crews taking to storage and the crew bringing back (Pavel and the truck 170 guys) were great even with lots of stairs and delicate pieces. Would happily use Dumbo again for another move

Pavel and the entire team - #170

Great moving and storage

We have used Dumbo Moving several times for dorm moves and storage. It is a great company to work with. Tim was very responsive to all our requests and changes! Their storage was an easy solution for my daughter moving into and out of her dorm. We will definitely use them again!
