Big Apple Moving & Storage

I used them twice (to move things into storage and then to move into a new home), and they were friendly, courteous, on time, and reasonably priced. And, most importantly, they were calm, cool and collected. Moving is stressful, so having calming people there to help out is fantastic! I love these guys and would recommend using them for everyone who is moving in the city. more

This company arranged with me to deliver two loveseats to my apartment, on Wednesday, Nov. 28th. They were supposed to deliver them between 1 and 4. Because of that, I had the old furniture removed early Wednesday by the super.\r \r I went home at noon to be in the apartment during this time. There was no delivery, and not even a phone call. Finally, after 5 o'clock, I called them to find out what had happened. They told me that they were still in Manhattan, and would be another hour or so - 6 o' clock. I told them that my coop does not allow furniture deliveries after 5, so it would have to be the next day. Then, after being a minimum of two hours late, and not calling, not to mention wasting my time, they claimed that the next time they could deliver it was Monday, five days later.\r \r This to me represents the worst possible service. They make me stay home and wait; they do not deliver within even an hour of when they said they would; and then have the gall to tell me that they can't deliver it until five days later, even though they are the ones that screwed up. I insisted that they deliver it before that, and supposedly they will call me tomorrow to let me know whether they might be able to deliver it two days from now, but they weren't promising anything. This is such poor business practice that it makes me furious. And meantime, I am left without furniture because I actually made the mistake of assuming that they would keep their word. Disgusting.\r Cons: Read the review.. more

I used Big Apple Moving for a move from Brooklyn to Baltimore at the end of July 2007. They were excellent! The crew was efficient and professional. My new apartment was at the top of 3 steep flights of stairs (I get winded walking them!) and it was pretty hot out, and Steve and Cruz worked like crazy to get it all moved in quickly. The move came in just a little over estimate, mostly due to tolls. I would definitely recommend the company and the gentlemen who made my move as stress-free as possible. Pros: Efficient, Professional more

This was my first time using a moving company in the city, and these guys were great. 4 guys moved my 1br apartment in the exact time they estimated (4 hours door to door). All the guys were friendly and careful with my stuff (including my new flat screen tv!). Fairly priced, too. Pros: Price, Efficiency more

I cannot stress enough how satisfied I am with these guys from start to finish. Joe, the owner, came to my apartment and gave me an estimate that was about half the other companies I met with. He called back to revise the estimate because he had rethought his original one (the difference was 30 bucks). The day of the move, the guys were prompt, professional, and fast without sacrificing quality for time. Anytime there was any question about a piece of furniture, or a potential problem that might arise, the head guy Luis let me know. I'm telling you, these guys were phenomenal and reasonably priced- the final cost was within 50 bucks of the original estimate. Again- You cannot go wrong with these guys. Pros: inexpensive, professional, efficient more
