Tri-State Area Movers

This would take pages to describe what a nightmare this experience was. Underestimated cost, by 100%! Sent much smaller truck than promised, which took much longer, multiple trips back and forth, which meant more time. Many items damaged, in both residences, including floors, walls, furniture, fragile items that the movers were paid to carefully pack. Items missing, including valuables. Please check other reviews before booking. Police were notified, report taken, District Attorney's Office spoken with, DOT and BBB notified. I was met with rudeness, defensive horrible attitude, and no resolution offered except "call the police". Would not unload the truck at 3 am until payment made in full, ALL CASH (or bank check at 3 am). Movers spoke harshly about the people they work for, the hours they must work, and the small amount of money they make. Everyone throws everyone else under the bus. No one takes any responsibility. They've got you and they know it. I WOULD NEVER USE OF RECOMMEND THIS "BUSINESS"!!!

Worst company ever.They are a bunch of liars. The price went up 3 times from the original quote almost double of original quote. I am missing alot of items and boxes also had alot of damage as well to items. I put in two claims with them never heard back.SCAM ARTISTS!!! Also had my car shipped after one week with no contact from them I called eveyday to find out where my car was and got the same answer it was in transit and they didnt know where it was and that I was being difficult. Why? Because I wanted to know where my car was? If you value your stuff do not use this company!!!

This company is a complete RIP OFF… I was quoted twice the amount of my original quote and they broke my things. I paid weekly for a total of $950 and when they were done handed me a bill for $2,357 and the mover “ talked him down” to an additional $919 which I had to remove from my savings. After tipping the workers and feeding them lunch, the manager made it sound like this was a requirement. After confronting the Manager several time… he told me he would call back and never did. When I finally reach ahold of him a week later … he told me we are done and I can go get a lawyer and hung up on me. Never got a refund, reported to the Better Business Bureau.

Tri-State quoted $1105 for my local move with a very detailed description of what they had to move. 3 guys and a truck for 6 hours. They moved the 2 things I told them not to move. They also didn’t move about a room full of loose items they said I should have pre-bagged (mostly food and pillows blankets and some stuff). Then BANG $2400 bill based on cubic feet. They should consider that in their estimate maybe but I will never use them again. I immediately cancelled another move I had scheduled with them and went with Dumbo Moving (I used them twice before - I recommend Dumbo) - bill was same as estimate. They moved 100% everything and took care to show me they stole nothing and took special care with all delicate items. They moved 2 packed 10X15 storage units for $1200 (3 guys and a truck for 6 hours and only 160 an hour for overtime beyond that).

Tri-State Area Movers was really great! We had a team of 3 honest guys. They worked their bums off to get our 2nd story apartment items to our new home. They worked really hard to make sure nothing got damaged and we didn't pay any additional fees for extra packaging material. My only suggestion is to make sure all your furniture and TVs are either wrapped in blankets or boxed up before the team comes out. Otherwise this was an amazing experience compared to the overpriced 2 men and a truck that broke half our goods last time. Will definitely use Tri-State Area Movers again!

This scam company is is owned by the same person who owns “Call My Mover”. They literally extorted me and my wife. If you read all the negative comments online for Tri-State you will learn the grift is always the same. They misrepresent and obfuscate the “quote” for their services. They draw you in with a low ball price but willfully send a series of inaccurate quotes. Then they reassure you on the phone that everything will be fine and the low price will remain the same. “Ken” and “Linda” are part of the scam acting at the direction of the owner Gavriel.

On the day of the move, they show up, have you digitally sign a contract without even showing you the contents of the contract, load up your stuff and then demand an unreasonable sum of money to deliver your stuff. Oh and they “charge” you extra (ie extort you) for the delivery of your stuff. In my case, they only packed about half of our stuff so I got double screwed since I then had to hire a second moving company at the last minute to clear out my house in time for the closing.

This isn’t just a bad company, it is a criminal enterprise. I really hope they are stopped.

My mother-in-law was moving out of her one-bedroom apartment, so she started to research- when, out of the blue, she gets a call from this moving company (that she never gave her number to). They quoted her an estimate of $900, so she hired them, they came and packed everything and when they were done "revised" the quote to $3,000, which they wanted IN CASH, ON THE SPOT.

I would think that a company that has supposedly been around for 25 years would be able to provide reasonably accurate estimates instead of TRIPLING the price AFTER the work has already been done, and be able to take credit cards in case it ends up being more than expected.

They went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition to my new home. I highly recommend this reliable and trustworthy moving service. From the initial contact to the final delivery, they exceeded my expectations. Thank you for making my move a positive and seamless experience from start to finish!

We used Tri-State Area Movers for the second time today for our move and are totally satisfied!! They kept clear communication throughout the entire day. Asked questions if they had them and doubled checked how and where I wanted things. They went above and beyond helping with things that may not have been in the original contract but clearly things we needed help with. They kept asking if there was anything else they could do. They told us up front what the maximum charge would be and since we fully expected to pay the full price, which anyone should, we were pleasantly surprised when it wasn't quite as much as we thought. Worth every single penny. And will use again if we need to.

If you are moving- look no further than Tri-State Area Movers. They have moved us twice and we will have them again, heaven forbid we move again. They packed our boxes very carefully- no breakage at all. They were pleasant, quick and very professional. Our moving team were even more amazing. They too were pleasant, quick and professional. They picked up all their supplies. No bumps or scratches on our brand new home. We will ask for them by name-should we ever need help. Tri-State Area Movers should be you first and last call for help.

Our movers were AMAZING! They wrapped all of our furniture and managed to get it all down the stairs and into the truck with no problem and in record time! Moving into our new place, they managed to get our heaviest piece of furniture into our upstairs bedroom without scratching or breaking it and we were SO grateful! They were quick and efficient -- I'm certain the two of them moved us out of our old place and into this new place faster and with more care than the THREE MAN team who moved us into our old place! We would DEFINITELY hire them again if needed!
