    Pavel worked with me by email on the budget, and I paid exactly what was quoted, not a penny more .. The team was efficient and helpful at pick up and at drop off, even my 87 year old mother was raving about the friendly, polite and helpful service. I have no doubt that I will use Moishe's again .. unfortunately, not in Chicago - But you can! Pavel is the best - tell him Adriana sent you :)

    It took us forever to research the right moving company for our Upper East Side studio apartment. I'm glad to have done my research, because once I found Moishe's Moving Systems, I knew the average prices and what other companies were including in their standard price. Moishe’s was a little more expensive then the average moving company but they knew what they were doing and their customer service was more professional than most. On the moving date, they came 15 minutes early to asses the situation. Even though we knew it would be a tough move, they seemed to go about their actions as if it were day-to-day. With a smile, the movers carefully helped pack loose bags, wrapped up the couch, rug, and TV, had plenty of extra wardrobe boxes available, and managed to do what I thought was going to be four hours of work in nearly two hours. Upon arrival to our new apartment, Moishe’s movers were there right after us ready to diligently unload their truck. Unwrapping couches, TVs, boxes, and... Read more

    Moishe's recently moved my mom and they did such a great job! They were friendly, professional, on time and efficient. They proved an honest quote before the day of the move so there were no suprises. I would definitely use them in the future!

    Recently, we re-located our office from a 2,000 square foot space to a much smaller space. Moishe’s management worked with me to coordinate all of the logistics prior to the move. We had four delivery sites since we had to give away a lot of furniture and open up a storage unit. Our Moishe’s crew was so professional, fast and hard-working. The movers were extremely friendly and respectful. We had so many boxes, every time I turned around there were dozens of more boxes on dollies. The Moishe’s crew just kept lifting the boxes and moving the boxes always with a smile on their face. I recommend Moishe’s to anyone who is moving, I felt like these guys treated our possessions like they were moving their own things. When you spend 8 hours with a moving crew you get a sense of the people and the company where they work, these guys are the real deal. Total pros. Lisa Buksbaum, CEO & Founder, Soaringwords, NYC

    We had just finished unpacking the contents of our 4 bedroom house we recently moved with the Moishe's company. I must admit, they were not the least expensive choice, but definitely worth it. All our precious possesions (my wife's china collection too) made it to our new home in the perfect order. Our piano (my biggest concern) was proffesionally taken apart, moved and put together by their "piano crew", without single knick or scratch. I think they deserve 5 stars and I will reccomend them to all my friends.

    So in the past few years iv had to move alot for my job (which has settled down now thank god) and this is second time using Moishe's. I called them up, they gave me a pretty decent quote, which was lower than the other 2 moving companies I called, and I remember'd from my last time using them that they had a lot of tips for moving annoying objects (fridges, dishwashers,etc.) and I had to move my Washing Machine and they helped me alot in how to do that. Thanks alot Moishe's!

    I researched City Search and narrowed it down to Moishe's and Flat Rate, since both had the most positive reviews. I decided to go with Moishe's because I was quoted a decent price (cheaper than Flat Rate) and they were more courteous on the telephone. They took care of all the logistics with my building's management, and they showed up exactly on time. The guys handled my stuff with extreme care, and wrapped everything! They wrapped my stuff with blankets and plastic wrap, and absolutely nothing was damaged. They sent just enough guys and the right sized truck for my studio apartment. The move was from Queens to Long Island, and the entire process from point A to point B happened in less than 3 hours! These guys are A+ and I highly recommend them.

    Excellent service at very reasonable price. They moved my 1 bedroom condo in less than 5 hours. Everything went smooth and very fast, considering the fact that these guys wrap all furniture in pads and they had to carry everything 3 flights up. I had to change the date in the last minute (closing problems) and that was not an issue for them. I would recommend to check this company if you are planning a move.

    These guys rock. The crew arrived on time as promised, they moved everything in less than 4 hours, nothing was broken or damaged (they are actually wrapping all your furniture in moving blankets) , the final cost came under the estimate they had given us. We could not ask for more. They also have a storage lockers (inexpensive ones- $35/month), one of the pieces did not fit through the stairs so we ended up storing it. Very well organized company. Polite and very helpful crew. Thank you again

    I would feel absolutely confident in recommending Moishe's Moving to anyone. They are not cheap but they know what they are doing and do not damage stuff. They arrived on time, set to work and made things as easy as it could possibly be. My upright piano arrived at the new location without a scratch. I was impressed. They also seem to have a good rating with the moving insurance company because I was able to insure my move quite cheaply with them. Luckily, I didn't need to make any claims. I had a very bad experience with another company called Special Moving a few years ago, so I was determined to find a reliable and trustworthy company. I will use Moishe's again without hesitation.

    This was our first time using Moishe's to move us from Hoboken to Jersey City. The movers (Alex, Steve, Jaime & Ruben) were very professional and they took great care in packing and moving our furniture and boxes. We were very impressed and highly recommend their services to anyone who is planning a move.

    moishes is a choice that i dont regret one bit. i was very pleased with their service and also, i found them to be pretty friendly people. they were very courteous as well as very diligent and hardworking. for the amount of work that they did i felt like i should have been paying more. i almost felt as if i were robbing them! but moishes was without a doubt a bargain that someone would not want to miss out on.

    in my opinion, out of all the moving companies that ive used (and i used quite a few) i would definitely say i had the best experience with moishes. the move with moishes went extremely smooth and there were no troubles at all. i dint have to worry about anything! these guys are pretty damn good at what they do. they, without a doubt, did a much better job with the move than i coulda done on my own and they did it super quick to. great job guys. appreciate it

    i would just like to extend my appreciation to these guys. i respect what they do and they are great at it. the workers at moishes are very experienced and helped me enormously. the move went very smooth and we ran into very few problems here and there but nothing that bothered me to much. might i add, the price i paid for this service was relatively low compared to the prices that other moving companies offered me so it was a great bargain. moishes is great. recommended

    i would just like to say thank you to moishes for helping me out for my move. i am very grateful for their work and they did a great job. ran into a couple of small problems here and there but worked them out easily. other than that the move went smooth and i was very satisfied with it. i would recommend moishes to anybody lookin to move for sure.

    these guys are quick. they are prompt with their scheduling and they showed up right on time. from the moment they got there they started to work as well. they did not slack off or drag their feets so they were very efficient. they were done in no time and by the time i knew it the move was over. i was pretty satisfied with moishes. i think i may actually use them again in the future

    I have just unpacked the last box these guys did and I must say, they know what they are doing. They packed and moved my 2 bed room apartment in less than 8 hours and everything seems fine. Nothing was broken or damaged. All furniture was put together and they even helped me with connecting my stereo components (one of the guys was an electronics expert). I read all the reviews here and I realize that your move will be as good as the crew you are going to get on the moving date. The head mover on the crew I had was Martin, and I recommend you ask for him when scheduling your move. Overall very positive experience, AND ALL THIS FOR VERY REASONABLE PRICE.

    never heard of them before but did some research and found out more about them. they dint sound that bad so i decided to try them out and wooo. im glad i chose moishes. they were definitely worth the money. great people. great service. i actually was talking with one of the workers. he was spanish so i tried to talk back in the little spanish i knew and we actually ended up having a pretty fun conversation. other than that, my stuff was all packed safe and undamaged. if you're looking for a company to move with, i would say moishes.

    i am a frequent mover and i move probably every 6 months or so and for every move i used moishes. im not going to lie. these guys have helped me out TONS! if i dint have them i would probably be spending a fortune on my moving services or have to settle for crappy service and have all my stuff broken. but these guys have always got the job done and they are very trustworthy and reliable, at least in my book. i havent had a problem with them ever in all the times that i used them so that should tell you something about the company

    Once again it was a fantastic expierience. It was my second move with these guys and it looks like they are only getting better. The crew was good, very careful and very fast. It has been 2 years from the last time and they pretty much charged me the same amount. They arrived right on time and all stages went as planned. I would recommend this company to anybody who needs a good mover.

    i was relocating last month and i was looking for moving companies. i saw the ratings for moishes and decided to give them a call. and i found out these guys are goooood. i had alot of delicate furniture that could NOT get damaged and needed special care and the workers all tended to my needs. my stuff got there pretty safe. just a couple of minor scratches here and there but they were on things i dint care for much anyways so it didnt really matter to me. 5 stars.

    Our four movers were four Eastern European college kids, nice enough guys really, but not all that professional. Sloppy packers, some of our stuff was damaged. I really had the impression that they milked the clock. A lot of standing around, one guy just walking around and taping boxes. When I was gone for a while they had the time to grab my Ipod, plug it in the loudspeakers and play some music for themselves. Not impressed.

    Based on moving the same stuff from year to year, this should have been a $300-400 move. It cost $900. These guys know how to milk the clock. They arrived on time, & checked out my apartment... but then all 4 of them disappeared for 20 minutes. When they finished loading their gargantuan truck (our stuff filled *maybe* a 3rd of it), I went along ahead to meet them at the other end. It took them an hour to travel 2.4 miles. AN HOUR!! wtf?! For the unload, I tried to help carry things as much as possible, since they were moving so slow. But 3 of the guys & I ended up standing around a lot, waiting for the 4th guy (the foreman?) to putz around inside the truck... Finally, with about 20 boxes remaining (seriously, with 5 of us going up one flight of stairs, that's should take less than 10 min) they all disappeared. I found them in the alley, sitting down for a smoke break. The truck was empty by 2:34pm, but they went ahead and charged us until 3pm. On the up side, the breakage ra... Read more

    Moishes Moving stinks! Over priced, under paid cheap labor. I would be very careful using these guys. They will quote you one thing and then when the day comes, wham! New price because of fuel increase.

I moved with these guys 2 days ago and everything went wonderful.They fully packed , moved and set up my 2 bed room apartment in less than 8 hours. Price was fair and the service was amazing. Not a single dent or scratch on any of my furniture.They even hauled away the empty boxes. I would recommend this company to anybody.

    DO NOT MOVE WITH MOISHE'S We moved with Moishe's in May and were severely disappointed. Charged us double than the quote and broke over $4000 worth of our things. Citysearch was WRONG! Contacted Moishe's 1+ week before our move and due to "time constraints" they weren't able to do an in-home estimate. They quoted us $800/5 hours for a 4th floor walk-up to a 4th-floor walk up. It took from 9am to 9pm and cost 2x more than the quote. They ripped us off with the insurance - They filled in the space where we're supposed to indicate how much are things are worth, they wrote in 30 cents/lb. The complaining began as soon as they arrived. Sooo slow they called in more movers. We were supposed to be done at 2pm, at 2pm they weren't done moving our stuff out of the 1st place (the 15 min breaks every 45 didn't help). Here's our experience: - The movers took our clothes from the closet and put them in boxes without asking and charged us $10 a box (10 boxes = $100 we didn't authori... Read more

    About a month ago I was searching for movers with good feedback and through word of mouth i heard about Moishe's Moving Systems. I was only making a small move from Wrigleyville to Wicker Park and I needed there service quick. They kindly obliged and within 2 days everything was scheduled and the movers arrived on time. It was quick and smooth and the gentlemen were courteous to my fragile boxes. All in all, i would absolutely recommend Moishe's to friends for impeccable service.

    Earlier this month I participated in the Revlon Run Walk For Cancer. While I was there I saw Moishe's employees participating as well in the walk and I got the chance to speak to one of them and they explained there actions to Go Green. Since i live in Jersey City, I also see these men around wearing the Moishe's t-shirts, so I decided to research them. When it came time for me to move last week, there was no doubt in my mind Moishe's was the right choice. They delivered 100%, from there impeccable customer service to their attention to fragile personal belongings. I would recommend Moishe's to anyone in need of movers.

    I chose these movers based on the reviews. I have moved twice before and would have used the last company but they were no longer in service. I am in the middle of unpacking and stopped just to write this review! I am just sick about the amount of damaged they did to my belongings. My furntiure (entertainment center) was cracked in half. They lost a piece to my son's crib. I realized the piece was missing as they were leaving in the truck. I flagged them down and we search the truck. We did not find the piece BUT there were other boxes they "forgot" to unload. Almost every single box that had glass/picture frames/dishes have been broken. Literally, I had boxes filled with shattered glass. I packaged everything in bubble wrap and in small boxes so they weren't too heavy. But they stacked them so high in the truck and were not careful to put the fragile boxes on top. I had two different crews load and then unload my stuff (I used their storage facility for a month) and they... Read more

    It was a very first time I was moving. When I saw the "reviews" I was very uncertain. After talking to several movers I decided to use Moishes. I think it was the best choice I could have made. The movers were quick, very careful, very nice and the move came under the estimated cost. All furniture was very well protected and even my antique mirror was crated. I highly recommend them to anybody, absolutely the best service you can have.

I was very impressed by Moishe's Moving and Storage becuase of their customer service and their moving team. I mean I recieved a how-to-guide before I even booked them. Moishe's has my vote for moving company of the year.

    So I just switched apartments and I used Moishe's Moving Systems and I was impressed. For one the forman, I think his name was Asi, was not only incharge but he was the master packer. The entire team took such care of my belongings all I had to do was tell them where it went when they were done. I recommend this company to any one moving.

But these guys were great and who ever Moishe is you've got a great company!

    I thought by paying a premium price I would get a premium move. The movers rushed through the move, and damaged 15 of my 20/25 or so large items. I was told everything was going to be wrapped in plastic and moving blankets. If they stuck by their word my items would have not been damaged. I would never recommend this company to anyone, unless you want your precious belongings destroyed by an overpriced & inconsiderate moving company.

    I've had poor experiences with movers in the past. But Moishe's was much better than any movers I've ever used before. The movers were proffesional, polite, efficient, and handsome. :) But seriously, everything went better than I would have ever dreamed. Everything was padded and protected very well, there was absolutely nothing damaged, and everything was set up in my new apartment the way I asked it to be. Not to mention, the estimate that I was originally quoted was right on the money. I will definitely use this company for all of my moves in the future. Don't even think twice, call these guys up.

    None of the men were wearing gloves and one of the men cut himself. I now have red spots (from his dripping cut) on my furniture and dried red residue on many of my boxes and other belongings. I later found out that the man knew that he cut himself because he asked one of my neighbors (not me, of course) for a bandage. Now I have to go through the hassle of getting furniture cleaned. Another of the men was not watching as he rolled a dolly full of stuff through my hallway. The dolly was rolling at an angle and headed straight for my wall. Without my intervention, the dolly would have made a good size dent or gash in the wall. Some parts of furniture "fell off" and were "lost" on the truck. It took them as long or longer to unload into a building with an elevator than it did for them to load up the truck from a third floor apartment with no elevator.

    I chose this moving company based on the reviews I read on this site. The movers showed up on time and my boxes were all ready and stacked up in one single room. I was the last to leave the apartment so I did a walk-through to make sure we didn't leave anything behind. The movers waited for me outside and followed me as I drove in my car to the new apartment. At the new apartment they unloaded everything and again I asked them to put all boxes in one room. The movers put all my furniture in place and worked fairly quickly. I tipped them and they left. My mistake was not counting the boxes before they left. I started unpacking little by little and it wasn't until a week later when I put my bookshelves up that I realized I had nothing to put on them. The boxes that I had very clearly marked "CD/DVDs" were gone. My entire music and movie collection was gone. I called Moishe's twice and they never called me back. The person who answered the phone said I needed to speak to a m... Read more
