I hired Ben Hur Moving and during the move day they did excellent work. There was no horse-play and it was extremely professional. I am very satisfied with my choice of movers.

Thanks for your support in making my move smooth. Before this, none of my move was stress free but this time while moving I was much relaxed. You guys really made my move easy & handled everything amazingly. Great prices, great services! I will surely use Ben Hur again & recommend them to anyone planning to move. Once again thank you for being so friendly :) more

Editorial review from Citysearch 1/30/2014

This has been one of the worst experiences I have had in years. They broke a globe in my home. They did not reimburse the loss until I threatened to sue them multiple times. They stored my furniture only to charge me 20% more to re-deliver to the place they initially took possession. They insultingly refused to re-deliver the furniture unless I paid $400 cash in advance for the delivery.\r \r When the furniture was returned, they broke a leg on a couch. The repairman failed to appear on the scheduled date without prior notice to us. We waited more than ½ day for him to keep his appointment. He had to return twice to fix the broken leg. They obviously have no regard for our time.\r \r Before the furniture was returned to my home, I had added (new) furniture delivered to them for storage in the interim. They charged $598 to deliver the furniture to my NY office; a mere four pieces. Simply outrageous. When they returned the furniture to my office, they failed to deliver ½ the furniture. When they returned the next business day to deliver the remaining furniture the delivery persons snarled that it was not their obligation to unpack one chair and remove plastic from one sofa.\r \r I am amazed they are in business. \r \r David K.

I have recently shifted with my husband and two daughters to three bedroom apartment from two room set as Angel & Kiyara were growing and we needed more space. Last weekend only we did the complete shifting with the help of Ben Hur Moving. Believe me this shift would have been impossible without these guys. They are really energetic and professional in their work. The whole crew was helpful and cheerful. James ( crew member) and Kiyara (8) have become friends. Thank You sooo much guys for such warm services.:)\r Highly Recommended !! more

My family moved from Canada year ago and we had to move from upper NY to the east side. Had a great experience with Ben Hur moving, eveyone was friendly, professional and efficient. We booked the full packing and moving service and Im so happy we did! They did a great job, everything was packed so well and all boxes were taken to the new rooms. All furniture was re-assembled on the other end, couldnt fault them! All done with a smile! Would definitely recommend them and use them again. more

They are one of the best New York Movers, I was amazed by the professional service and positive and friendly attitudes. MY all bags were delivered in perfect condition. They helped me unpack and really went out of their way to make sure my experience was painless. I will use them for every move. Highly recommend. more

Great service provided by Benhur..I has to move from Brooklyn to NJ, and they delivered the excellent service.. Rarely a moving company has actually ethical standards more

Editorial review from Citysearch 5/28/2013

The thought of moving from Jersey City, NJ to Brooklyn, NY was driving me crazy! Yes I was happy about my work promotion but packing and moving is so stressful. Looking for professional moving services I came across Benhur and they actually did an excellent job. The site gives you a precise idea of what the service would cost and the kind of boxes you would need to pack up – no hidden charges.\r \r I really received more than what I expected – am here in Kingston today with all my stuff neatly packed, safely moved! 5 on 5 stars to Benhur team and I strongly recommend their services to all of you\r more

Editorial review from Citysearch 3/13/2013

WARNING...\r \r This is for anyone that cares for their belongings, please DO NOT use this company that hires workers that steal and do not know how to wrap furnitures and office equipments. Their workers stole my clothes , my big screen tv , shoes, DVDs, Workout equipments, office electronics, my NFL favorite team's many expensive jerseys, even my job tools, they stole and on top of that they broke most of my furnitures(wall units, bed, tables, kitchen stuff, etc... and company did not take any actions against their workers and those thieves steal working for them. they actually did my moving which was suppose to be completed in 1 day took them 2 days. After packing my belongings in the their truck, the driver told me that it was too late to go drop off my belongings to the storage. so they took my belongings packed in their truck back to their office that is where they picked and choosed whatever they wanted from my belongings. So please STAY AWAY from this moving company. They are crooks. on top of their thieves workers, they actually get you a qauote then overcharge you before unloading your belongings and they are very rude about it too. Just thought I be THE ONLY victim of this moving company. \r \r Thank you.\r more

Caused Damage, Didn't Take Responsibility DO NOT USE 5/17/2012

Ben Hur moving was supposed to move some furniture into my apartment. Not only could they not move the furniture and then charged me extra for bringing the furniture back to the first location - they put a giant hole in the stairwell of the building. When I called them, they said they'd be happy to give an estimate for repairs. They scheduled to do the estimate, canceled and rescheduled TWICE - and have not followed up. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They are unreliable and caused damage to my building without taking any responsibility for the damage they caused. DO NOT USE THEM. more

Warning DO NOT USE this moving company 2/22/2012

WARNING!!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They are LIARS and INCOMPETENT. I called Ben Hur moving a week before our move and they were able to give me a quick quote. I asked on multiple occasions if they had enough insurance to qualify because my building had a strict insurance policy requirement. The salesman on the phone promised me that they had over 10M in coverage and that it would not be a problem. The next day I followed up with my building to see if they received the certificate of insurance from Ben Hur and was upset to hear Ben Hur had not sent the COI. I called Ben Hur only to be passed around to various people who told me I would need to speak to someone else. Finally, I got in touch with the person in charge of insurance who promised to send the COI. The next day I received a call from my building manager who informed me that Ben Hur did not meet the minimum insurance requirement. I called Ben Hur again and got the run around once more. I was sent to 3 different voicemails and even got hung up on twice. When I eventually got through to the guy who handles insurance once more he swore it was impossible that they didn't have enough coverage and that it had to be a misunderstanding. He promised me he would call the building manager to clear up the situation and call me back. I never got a call back. I left multiple voicemails and emails but no reply. Finally, on friday afternoon a day before my move date after numerous calls and speaking to 3-4 different people at Ben Hur, I finally got through to the person who handles insurance and finally got him to admit they did not have the coverage they promised they had and so they would not be able to move me into my building. Not only did they completely LIE, but rather than admit it right away and allow me time to find a new mover they LIED again and told me it was not a problem and they could clear it up. They never followed up with my emails or voicemails after a number of different people promised to resolve the issue for me. These guys left me hanging and just didn't give a crap. more

I was very pleased. 11/28/2011

Ben Hur Moving was a joy to hire as our movers. My husband and I did a search on moving companies in NYC and discovered Ben Hur Moving. Their employees worked efficiently and quickly. more

It was beyond our expectations 10/11/2011

This is a belated but sincerely felt appreciation for the professional and able work performance that Geoffrey and his crew demonstrated on July 2, 2011 for Fancelli Paneling Inc. Our Estimate number was #67955, and we called to schedule an office move from 24 E 64th Street in Manhattan to a storage facility in LIC, Queens, on short notice. We regret the delay in sending this email, nonetheless, the efficient assistance and agreeable demeanor of Geoffrey and his crew is memorable and deserves commendation. It was a hot day on a holiday weekend, and your employees made our office move a fluid process beyond our expectations. Thank you, and to extend our appreciation again to Geoffrey and crew. Sincerely, Christian Barthod and Terese Nehrbauer Fancelli Paneling, Inc. more

Amazing service 10/11/2011

We recently moved into our new apartment from the West Village to Brooklyn. It has been quite a busy summer and moving is never easy. Ben Hur was amazing they stayed true to their rate and provided three great movers who wrapped all of our stuff carefully and helped us settle into our new place. The last time we moved we were being charged by the hour and the guys rushed and threw our stuff around causing minor damage. Ben Hur had a flat price and took their time. They were with us from 9-5 and were unfazed by our quirky old apartment which was a pain to move out of. Thanks for taking care of our stuff! -Lauren and Ezra more

Quick and good 10/11/2011

Our team today, led by James Morales, was fantastic. These guys were really great and took very good care of our belongings while moving quickly. We really could not have asked for anything more. Thank you for sending them! more

Great work 10/11/2011

I would like to thank Ben Hur for doing such a wonderful job. The crew was just great and no damage was done to anything for the first time in many moves done by other companies. I will not need to look for anyone else next time. Thank you. BOB LEVEY more
