Moishes Moving Systems

Terrible experience & customer service. Zero accountability

Do not use Moishe’s. A one-bedroom move TWO BLOCKS AWAY, from a second floor to a second floor, somehow took 7 hours. Of the three movers, only one seemed to know what he was doing. I literally watched another struggle to fold a rug.

Worse, they mishandled my jewelry cabinet so badly that everything inside was thrown into a pile at the bottom, damaging a pair of expensive earrings. Moishe’s acknowledges that their crew moved the cabinet but denied my damage claim because they “cannot determine” the condition of the earrings beforehand.

Seven hours, an inexperienced crew, damaged belongings, and then zero accountability. I would never use them again.

DO NOT USE FOR LONG DISTANCE MOVES

Understaffed, breaking items, no concern for anything, even after referring them to several friends after good experiences with the local moves around NYC. Awful.

They were about to leave all of our items unsupervised on the sidewalk, and leave the apartment gate open. We had to act as security. This tired, understaffed team was not what I paid for.

Horrible experience. Will never use again.

1. Moishes broke and lost several items, including the centerpiece of a $3k murphy bed that went missing. I was offered $300 in compensation.

2. They upsold me unnecessarily on a storage unit. The moving guys told me there was tons of empty space and weren't sure why I was paying for that size.

3. They delivered other people's things to me. In the extra space they sold me, they were apparently storing other people's things.

Shady company. Do not recommend.

BEWARE!

We had a TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! I had to help them move my furniture and my safe!! Completely unprepared and wanted their cash upfront!! DONT DO IT!! BUYERS BEWARE!! Go with another company! Language b

Terrible experience. Don't use

6 hours late. 2 hour move ends up taking all day. We had items in storage with them that got lost. We ended up with boxes belonging to someone else. Management didn't care, laughed at us - just seemed excited that they were busy.

Worst moving company ever. Stay away

Used them for moving from NJ to TX. And had the worst of experiences. Their handling of your belongings is pathetic to say the least. They do not bother about anything. Broke my new bed, which was worth over $750, and when I filed a claim, they said they can only pay $50 based on the weight of the bed. What a joke!!

80% of my boxes which were all brand new were all ripped apart and were completely unusable after the move.

Stay away from them. They are dishonest. There are many companies that would charge a bit more than what these crooks would charge, but that would save you from trouble later on.

Do yourself a favor and look for someone else.

Crooks and slobs

Used Moishe's moving to move from NJ to NC. When I called on the day of my scheduled delivery, Moishe's had "lost track of" the truck holding all of my home's contents and it took two days for them to discover it was sitting in their lot in NY. The contents of my home arrived a week later than expected resulting in me needing to stay in a hotel. When my goods arrived in NC, the driver had hired a bunch of workers hired off of craigslist to unload the truck. The workers arrived at my house before the truck and just hung out waiting.... They were not professional movers. Needless to say, lamps, collectibles, and furniture were destroyed and broken as they were dropped off the back of the truck by inexperienced day laborers. The walls in the stairwell of my new home were banged up and scuffed and the storm door was broken by the movers. When I contacted Moishe's, radio silence. I had to go through my homeowners insurance to get any reimbursement on goods, which was less than it cost to repair/replace- and less my deductible. When I contacted Moishe's regarding my deductible, they laughably offered next to nothing. Would avoid this company

Worst Move Possible - one year and counting

BEWARE!!!!! Moishe's moved me from New York to Denver in January 2020. We have moved ten times, including overseas. Never have I had such a horrible experience. Corner of an expensive armoire broken off. Expensive curio cabinet glass shattered. New Stickley table dented, gouged and scratched. Literally hundreds of dollars/40 years of memories in the form of dishes, decor and keepsakes broken. For example, they placed a paperweight in a crystal bowl. After persisting with them, they finally processed my claim and offered me $300 for more than $4,000 worth of damage. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE! They DO NOT know how to pack delicate items. And they DO NOT CARE about your personal belongings.

Update - They upped their offer to $500 but have not received it to date.

Moishe's Movers Damage Claim Unpaid.

I moved at the beginning of October 2010. I asked several moving companies to come to my apt. to give me estimates. The Moishe's rep showed up over an hour late. What can I say--it should have told me a lot right then and there. In spite of that I still went with them. Because they had a good rep in our area. Or so I THOUGHT!

Movers did not have clear instructions about my move-this slowed up the move & ran up my bill. It also created more work for me to pack. The movers also disappeared at one point for over an hour and a half w/o any explanation to me.

Since I was moving on my own & I had to watch my things-I could not go check on them.Plus I had to keep packing to save money.

Movers were also supposed to set aside a suitcase with my things I had to get by till I unpacked. My medicines and other things to live until I unpacked. The head mover packed it. The box got buried. I could not get at my medications. It cost me over $250 to get critical medications and other needed items after the movers left.

I began to unpack and began to discover damaged items: 2 floor lamps and my televisions. Cable company could not hook up TV because Moishe's broke the TV.

I filed a claim. It…

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!

Horrible service, unreliable, completely unprofessional! A headache from start to finish, how ever long they quote you the move will take, double it! They are the worst!! I repeat, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

Unreliable

Like the last reviewer, move was supposed to start at 8am, they finally arrived at 6pm. The company fed us some lies about a broken elevator and the men who did the job (lovely guys) told us a completely different story as they didn’t even start the job till 3pm! They then hit us with a full charge (but told us we would get a discount) as they require a pre authorization on your credit card. NEVER EVER TRUST THEM

Complete no Show For Move!

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! Signed contract and had a full confirmation, email and verbal from their services for today, with a window of 10am-11am. Once 11:30 rolled around and they still have not arrived my husband called. They said that we were not in their system. We showed them our confirmation email and they said their must of been a glitch. Ok, so what was there solution? That someone could move us from 3pm-5pm. Ok, inconvenient but left with no choice. We called them back, no more than 20 minutes later, to say that window would be fine and they then informed us that they could no longer move us. That’s it. Zero solution. Zero apologies. Didn’t even offer us another day/time. As you can imagine this was a HUGE inconvenience. We couldn’t even find a truck to rent anywhere. We are now left with a sprinter van and doing this move on our own.

Not honoring contract.

DO NOT USE!! They were to move me from NYC to Silver Spring, MD, and put my stuff in storage for up to 30 days as my new home was undergoing renovation.  After only 10 days, I get a call out of the blue that my stuff will be at my new hone in 1 hour.  I had not scheduled or requested delivery.  They said if I did not take delivery, my only option was to put the stuff in local storage at my own cost and then to have it moved to my place from storage at my own expense.  They said if they turned the truck around, I would have to pay for re-delivery.  I was assured that a supervisor, Bakshim, would call me to straighten this out, but  of course he never did.  I had no choice but to take deliery into a dust and tool filled apartment undergoing renovation. I have no way of knowing the condition of my stuff as I can not unpack until the contractor is done.

DO NOT USE !!  They charge top dollar - they say for a headache free experience - and give you bottom dollar service!
