Relocation Moving and Storage -

I was quoted $95 an hour. I was charged over $300 more but not until they brought my things to my place. Originally, they tried to charge me over $600 more once they hauled my things, but I had a fit, of course. I only moved within 3 miles. They are the biggest scammers. When I requested an itemized list of expenses, they could not produce one. After a week of trying to retrieve one, I contacted the Better Business Bureau and filed a complaint. I hope I receive a refund, but I am not holding my breath. I just wish I would've searched for reviews before booking them. I hope the company FAILS! more

Moved March of 2011 Horrible experience!! just like the reviews i read here, i was quoted a certain price but then when my items where loaded; they called with another price. was quoted $750 and ended up paying $1,200. not to mention that they gave me this speech about how much the tips mean to them and how they don't make much money. i felt so bad and paid them $50 each. I regret it, I should have followed my gut feeling and told them to leave when they arrived. I had a bad feeling but decided not to be so judgmental. Worst part, while i was packing some things in another room, they went into my closet and stole ALL of my jewelry. EVERYTHING of value. i had it inside a closet they should have never opened. I noticed days later and called to complain, called the police, filed a claim at the Bronx City Court. luckily, the bank of America was able to get back the $100 deposit for me. I have a Judgement against them for 5,000 but im sure i will never get paid. Finalized on Dec 13, 2011. now they are not around the phones are disconnected. I'm so disappointed! they took special items given to me by my mother and my Dad who passed away. thank you, Judy, Omar Rodriguez, Wayne Lucas, Gerardo Garcia, David Ramos. I am over it now, they were just material items but I know that you are getting was you deserve one way or another. Life has a way of doing that. I SHOULD HAVE POSTED THIS SOONER AND MAYBE SOME OTHER PEOPLE WOULDN'T HAVE FALLEN FOR THIS TRAP. I AM SO SORRY! more

I wish I could give them zero stars. I guess that is not allowed. I was in a bind and I really needed to get out of the city for cheap. I got a great quote for under 1000 bucks to move out of state and I thought I had hit the moving jackpot. When they came the price ballooned to almost 2000 dollars. So much for the nice guy that Mike claimed to be. Then when I asked to speak to him I got this douche named Andy. The workers absolutely hate him (well at least that was what they told me). So we fast forward to my move, and the minor details in between include me trying to find their address and winding up at an apartment building, and when I do find the other address it is a nasty, smelly room with a dog in it. They live like animals there. I tried calling several times but none of the numbers worked. The driver (Alim ) was a lazy bum and specifically told me that if I did not pay him 75 for my door being more than 75 feet away from the truck, my stuff would be left outside. He told me he counted my stuff twice so everything is there. I have yet to receive my foot board, my dresser, my television and the brackets for the mirror on my dresser. So Alim, who counted my stuff twice now tells me he is just the driver and does not know where my stuff is. That's what I get for trying to find a deal. If I could go on television and tell everyone to stay away from these con men I would. Please let your friends and family know that they should run the other way if they even come across these people. I now have to spend money to replace things that I paid them to deliver. This is the worst feeling in the world, especially when I have had those items undamaged for over 10 years. Better business bureau needs to know about this. more

It is an insult to give this company a star!! what they should get is arrested!! Especially Andy, Judy and Mike, if thats even their real names. Mike came to my house to give me an estimate and was very pleasant and claimed to be a retired New York city police officer. If I was a officer in New York I'd be pissed that htis guy is portraying himself as one of the hardest working cops in the country. They gave me an estimate for $2600 and it turned into a $10,000 fee. they also said they wouldn't deliver my furniture if I didn't pay them. All of my precious antiques and family heirlooms were broken. My sterling silver was missin as well as other items. A total value of @$60,000 are missing. When will the government stop these people!!! What is it going to take. We need to stop the loopholes that allow these people to change their names and continue to rob people blind! I have filed a police report in the town which I was moved from and made a complete list of the things broken and missing. I suggest all of you do the same. I will track these people down and their insurance company has already been given the list of things that were broken and missing with pictures. I also had sent a copy to Judy but the package was refused after she told me I must send the info to her first!. Don't use these people. If you get and estimate from a company and they claim to be from Israel, and located in the Bronx, and a Short heavy set man gives you and amazingly low estimate and says or has an accent from Israel its them. DON""T USE THEM!!!! YOU'LL BE SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! more

This was my first time using movers and I couldn’t be happier with the experience I had with Relocation movers . Mike was extremely helpful and easy to work with in setting up my move. He was diligent in following-up to confirm all details in the planning phase and answered any questions that I had leading up to the move which really helped to put me at ease. The move itself went very smoothly with Tom and his team, not a single item was damaged and everything was perfectly intact. The movers were punctual, courteous and very professional. Overall, Relocation Movers really did an outstanding job and I couldn’t be more pleased. more

I wish I had never heard of this company. It was the worst day of my life when I let them into my home. I truthfully have nightmares about this move. It was a horrible experience. They broke and scratched and chipped so many things. My furniture was supposed to be wrapped it wasn't. The truck leaked & I had water damage. The thought of this makes me sick. They are horrible, terrible people. more

If I could give a negative rating I would. This was my 1st move and I was duped by the fake positive reviews entered by the company on this site and then hired them. The movers were unskilled and damaged many things including my HDTV & irreplaceable family heirlooms. They damaged the building I moved into & I was fined $250. When the day was done they billed me almost 5X the estimate. They refused to start unloading the (rented) truck until I paid even though the job was only partially done. They threatened to hold my possessions hostage until I paid. \r An estimator had gone to my prior home, walked around and looked at things and gave me a professional estimate of $450.00 - they billed me over $2000.00.\r After the damage was done, I gave them a chance to make things right - they made appointments (plural) to come evaluate the damage AND THEY NEVER SHOWED UP, they never paid me a dime for all the damage done and I'm out an HDTV. So now I'm going to the Attorney General and I'm going to get something done about these unethical, abusive people.\r So, as a closing, take a close look at their ratings. They are all very negative or Extremely Complimentary, nothing in the middle. Seem a little fishy to you? It does to me. Who do you think is writing those extremely complimentary reviews? more

I moved several times with different moving company and always something went wrong, when i moved with Relocation this moving company, i was amazed from the quality of the staff, the handled my precious furniture with so much care and gentle. I even got a great price and i really like to work with this reliableRelocation moving company again. thank you for making my relocation easier. You are five star for me THANK YOU!!!!\r more

The spectacular performance of the Relocation Movers crew.who packed and unpacked our belongings .were very Professional , and were extremely courteous and polite.\r The foreman, managed everything very well . and it was obvious he knew what he was doing. Relocation Movers were very professional , extremely hard working and a pleasure to deal with . I am extremely pleased with how everything went . wonderful Movers & prompt service, We definitely made the right choice !!! Great Moving Company \r Pros: You can definitely count on referrals from us.\r Cons: I will diffidently recommend your company to others\r more

If I could give them negative stars, I would. Here is what you need to know if you use this company: A MOVING ESTIMATE BASED ON VOLUME IS LEGALLY BINDING. In other words, if they give you a quote after looking at your stuff, they can't legally ask you for more. Why do I tell you this? Because they will try to tell you that the estimate they first gave you was incorrect, and they will ask you for more money. In our case, over 3x what they initially quoted us. But, really, the estimate is only part of the issue. The real problem is that they will demand more money AFTER your stuff is already in their possession - on the truck, in the unit, or on the road. When we tried to find out where our stuff was, they gave us the run around for days - saying it was on the truck..oh, wait, it hasn't left the facility...oh, wait, it is on the way...oh wait, it is in Virginia (we found out later it was actually in Alabama - COMPLETELY out of the way)...oh, wait, the truck is broken down and won't be there on time...etc etc. We learned later that these are all standard lines used by moving companies who run scams. When the truck finally made it to our house, we discovered that our belongings had been moved on and off the truck at least twice without our knowledge, that they were packed horribly (dishes and antiques were now at the BOTTOM of the truck), and that many of our things had been damaged. This included my mother's antique buffet hutch, which had ended up directly on the floor of the truck (no blankets or cushion of any kind), on its side, under five feet of boxes, with scratches and bumps all over, and the leg broken off. If they scam you, and especially if they are holding your stuff for ransom, there are three places to contact: 1) Your lawyer 2) The attorney general of the state of NY (where they are based) 3) There is a website called movingscam (I have no affiliation with them, but it would have been REALLY helpful if we had know of them at the time!) Bottom line: save yourself the trouble and find a reliable company through a friend with experience. more

Relocatin Moving and Storage arrived on time and moved all our stuff lickety split. I selected Relocation Moving because of the way the on-site estimator handled first my call and then specific requests for instance concerns that we had about our WAY over sized mirror that had to be brought down on top of the elevator. They are also completely cool, friendly and accommodating. I recommend them 100%.\r Pros: Quick, professional, careful, attentive\r more

I've moved a lot, and it's never easy or fun, especially in NYC! The last time we moved, the final cost of the movers was triple the estimate, and then two boxes of kitchenware went ""missing"" when the guys weren't happy with the tip.\r So this time, we figured we'd try Relocation Moving because of all the great reviews here. And we are SO GLAD WE DID!\r From the estimate to the actual move, everyone from Relocation Moving was not just professional and nice, but kind as well. They get that people who are moving are stressed out. They were prompt, careful, and accommodating, and they really knew what they were our doing, especially with our bigger pieces, artwork, and other fragile things. \r And they stuck to their original estimate, which was more than reasonable to begin with. I recommend Relocation Moving very highly, and I will definitely use them again.\r more

Con Artists and thieves. They will take your things and bust them up. Even their positive reviews are SCAMS. Take a look, every time after a bad post, they post 3 or 4 positive posts a week or four days later. They don't want the truth to get out. They are liars and will steal your money and break everything you value. more

Don't use this company. Period. An ""expert"" estimator came to my home and quoted a low fee of $540. The day of the move inexperienced kids came to my home and presented a contract with costs that had not been previously revealed. I had to move that day and had no choice, or they would not move my belongings. They broke everything, no exaggeration. The move estimted at $540, cost me more than $2000. They refused to off load the truck unless I paid Cash. Judy at the office insulted me threated to call the police ON ME! I was ripped off, my things were badly damaged and when I called David, one of the owners, he insulted me and hung up on me. Somebody has to stop these people. more

Please beware. Don't be their next prey. These guys broke my fla tscreen TV, my breakfront and damaged many, many pieces of furniture. They had hidden fees, did unauthorized packing. They sent 3 inexperienced kids to move my cherished belongings. When I called the office I was cursed out and hung up on by David, one of the owners. I still can't believe this has happened. Judy, who answers the phones was abusive and told me that they don't have insurance. Please beware. Don't be their next prey. more

Relocation Movers came highly recommended to me but I still did not know what to expect. They exceeded my expectations. They moved my family from NYC to Washington Dc and did a fantastic job. They came and packed up very quickly and they were very nice. They did the entire move exactly the way we wanted it. They are the company to use if you want a stress free moving experience.\r Pros: two thumbs up: nice people and a stress free move\r more

The service was excellent. Quick and careful got my move done in the time needed to get to my new apartment. The movers were so good they got the job done fast enough to stay within the minimum charge. Relocation Moving and storage is number one by me; I highly recommend them and will use them in the future.\r more

Relocation Moving and Storage is a complete scam. They quote you a great price when they meet you. The day of the move that amount was tripled and the movers would not remove my personal items from the moving truck until I paid it in full, in cash ONLY. They promise you free boxes and then charge you for them. They also cracked my flat screen TV and said they would give me $60.00 for it. They keep giving me the run around and basically screwed me over. more

If I could give this company less than 1 star I would. I got a great quote from James Kennedy to move less than 1 room of furniture and a couple of boxes. They were late, got lost, took all day to get through a two hour drive and then they charged me more than 75% more than the initial quote. This company is a bunch of con men that lure you in by a great personality and great quote and then you end up paying a huge amount. and they don't take checks or cards, just cash!!!! This company is a scam of the greatest calber. more

\r We have used pods in the past and this time shopped around for price. Relocation Movers was priced lower and they could deliver the next day - others couldn't. I was so surprised when the unit arrived. It was so clean inside and more like a moving truck inside than a box like we had with pods. With the racking system they have, we were able to secure an odd shaped antique spinning wheel perfectly. Also, they didn't leave it sitting in the parking lot, it went to their warehouse the day after we finished loading. Customer service was great and everything was in perfect condition when we had it re-delivered to our condo. So much easier to load than a Uhaul. We'll definitely use Relocation Movers again more
