Let's start with a well-known truth: moving sucks. Just over this past weekend, we moved from a private house in Park Slope to Wall Street, we looked up for movers on the web, narrowed it down to a list of three highly rated movers, and had all three give us an estimate on our move. Truth be told, Yankee Movers wasn't the cheapest, but from the very first moment we talked to them, we had a sense that they were very organized, very honest, and very reliable. The estimator provided a comprehensive and accurate estimate.
The morning of the move, four movers showed up right on time, and within three hours, our condo was empty. They were unbelievably careful with our fragile items (mirrors, antique dresser, etc). and also just great guys- polite, friendly, and easy going. When they arrived in my new apartment in Wall Street, the crew was amazing - in less than 2 hours, our apartment was unpacked. All of our stuff arrived exactly it was packed and wrapped- not a single scratch, dent, or break - and the movers quickly assembled the few items that needed to be put together post-move. All of this to say, If you are planning to move with NYC, Yankee Movers is the way to go. They take a painful process and make it easy.
