After moving quite a few times in the past, and having problems each and every time, I decided to use NYC 10001 Movers after a friend of mine recommended them to me. Even though they were fully booked on the day I requested, they made a huge effort to move me on that same day in the afternoon. I was told I would have a move crew of 3 men at 8:00 am and I would be contacted if there were any delays.
By 7:55 am the crew arrived and started moving my belongings. All my furniture was wrapped with blankets and could tell that the movers really cared. I have heard about movers that demanded a tip but my movers didn't even mention it. Everything arrived in the same condition it was when it was loaded on the truck and was put in the rooms I asked them to.
They disassembled and reassembled my beds and tables and protected my glass items (they charged extra for glass items to be wrapped but I was aware of this prior to the move). By the time the move was over it was 3:00pm and the movers were patient and continued working right till the end.
I was a little afraid with the hourly rate charge (how could I know that they wouldn't just take their time and work slow?), but the movers worked hard from start to end. In other words, IT WAS A PLEASURE!!!
