    It's unfortunate that the previous poster had such a bad experience but I personally could not have had a better one. The movers knew exactly what they were doing and were extremely cautious with everything. The entire move was completed without so much as a tiny scratch on anything they touched or moved across. They also went above and beyond for me in certain area's that were not required of them. I was made full aware of any additional charges I may incur and everything was explained to me in full detail before hand so there were no surprises. I can't possibly recommend them higher based on my personal experience with them.

    Marrins' was on preferred list at our new building. Making appointment went well and estimator visited our apartment to provide estimate and explain costs. Promised two trucks so as not to smush our stuff. Promised wouldn't go above quoted cost - period. Made no mention of having to pay some money day one (when they packed us up), and balance day two (when they actually moved us). When they actually started the job, only one truck showed up which they tried to jam everything into but couldn't. Told me I would have to pay if they used more boxes than estimated. Told me I would have to pay one third of balance first day meaning I would have to leave apartment to go to bank. Told me we would have to pay any parking tickets above the quoted rate after we agreed to that rate. All of these led to a ton of arguing, stress and frustration. We had to work with our old building and new building to allow for two separate trips since only one truck showed up and obviously move took much ... Read more

    After much experience with both domestic and international moves, this was one of the easiest and least stressful. The highly professional team was courteous, friendly and spent the time very efficiently. I would certainly recommend them.

    Moving is stressful, or at least it was for me until I met Marrins - this was my 3rd move with Marrins. I have recommended them to many friends and family (moved my mom and she is a real critic and loved the crew and service) As always the estimate was thorough, they were ontime, worked great with the building personnel, the office was great with the insurance certificates and the crew packed me, moved me and delivered my stuff to 2 differrent locations. Just read a review from another client about particle board furniture - was sorry to hear about their experience but I was told that the NY DOT will not even allow it to be covered because it is not made to move - told this by 2 moving companies.

    Marrins was one of several companies recommended by my building. I chose them despite their having the highest estimate, because it was fixed price and because so many of the reviews here were so positive. I did not have a good experience. They broke items while packing for me, they were almost unable to reassemble some of the furniture, and I'm continuing to find scratches and chips on furniture. They made the excuse that particle board damages easily, but all these pieces had been moved before by another company without any damage.

    Marrins' Moving helped me move my home and business. I was amazed at their ability to get large pieces of furniture through tight spaces with no wall damage. They did a great job!

    They arrived on time, were very careful with my furniture, no scratches or dents and then met at the new location on time and everything went very smoothly. The men were very helpful and kind. The price is right. What more could you ask for?!

    I hired Marrins' to move my items to Florida and they got the job done without any issues. The price was reasonable and the movers were courteous and professional. Many thanks to Jeanne and the Marrins' team for excellent service..

    Until I was recommended Marrin's, moving in New York was at the top of my "worst things in life" list. Their professionalism, punctuality, efficiency, friendliness and helpfulness were incredible. I felt at ease every step of the way. There were no surprises as they sent someone out ahead of time to give me a solid flat rate. And, I think I even had fun on moving day! Also, as a single woman, I felt very safe and taken care of. I cannot recommend anyone more highly for one's move.

    Marrin's Moving Systems Limited has moved us twice. The first time was an "in-town" move. The second time was a long distance move. Both moves were very complicated due expensive art, crystal and our wine cellar (and all of the wine). Both times all items including priceless breakables arrived completely unharmed! We highly recommend using this moving company and we would do so again should we need movers in the future.

    I have used Marrins movers several times. I have always found them to be courteous, helpful, punctual, and very caring with our furniture and personal items. Moving can, at times, be exciting and nerve-racking. The emotional toll is usually underrated. I found Marrins professionalism and vast experience extremely comforting. I willl continue to use them and recommend them to my family and friends.

    I want to compliment Marrins' on their fantastic service. My wife and I bought our first house and were living in a 3-bedroom apartment. We lived up in Orange County, New York and didn't know how we were going to move all of our belongings, with both of us working full-time jobs and going to school to further our education. Well, from the moment the crew arrived, my wife was relaxed. The crewchief was Nigel. He walked through our apartment, let us know how the day was going to run, and had everything under control. We were given a price of what the move was going to cost, and there were no additional charges at the end of the day. We paid what we were quoted. There were no damages in the move. The crew painstakingly wrapped and protected our most cherished pieces of furniture and artwork. Nothing was lost or mysteriosly disappeared, as you often hear about in moving horror stories. And the move was finished in a faster time then I expected it to take. We are about 2 hours f... Read more

    I arranged an estimate and made a reservation for Marrin's movers for a short move within Manhattan. The appointment was for 9 AM. At 8:30 I received a call that there had been a delay -- for unexplained reasons -- and that the revised time for the truck's arrival was 10. At 10:30 -- not having heard anything -- I called to inquire again, and was given a new time of noon. At noon, it was delayed until 2. By 2:30, I had no further information. I had to cancel because the building I was moving into would only allow it until 5. I never received an explanation beyond the statement that the original truck appointed for the move had broken down. It was a wasted day, and I ended up doing the move myself.

    The quote we got on the date and time of the appointment was the best, no hidden costs, nothing. Other quotes came in higher and some companies did not bother to show up to give us a quote! Guess they did not need our business or a recommendation. Marrins' moved our belongings out of our New York apartment today. The crew of 3 showed up happy and on time in their red Marrin's t-shirts (nice touch). They were courteous, efficient, kind and fast. They worked well together, were organized and streamlined. And happy! The most efficient crew I have ever come across, it all went so well that I can just wonder if this truly was the least stressful moving day I have ever had ? Thank you Marrins, you did great and I can highly recommend you and only you!

    Marrins' Moving Systems has everything you need in a mover - thoughtful estimates, attention to customer services, and a friendly team to work with. I've used them twice - once to move my apartment and once to move my business. Both times, the moving crews were prompt to arrive on moving day, and handled all my belongings with care. Marrin's Moving Systems is a great value for the price. You don't have to worry that your possessions are going to arrive destroyed or not make it off the moving truck. If you're lucky, you'll get the cow truck on moving day - what fun!

    Words cannot express how satisfied my family is with the services of Marrins' Moving. From the first phone call until the final piece of furniture was placed, everything was handled well. They were not the cheapest price quote we received, nor were they the highest, but the reviews on CitySearch and from our realtor and building management company were outstanding and we decided to use them. We are very glad we did so!! They are family run and this is apparent in the attention to detail and customer service. We will be recommending them to anyone we know needing a mover.

    Let me start by saying that I only joined citysearch to leave this positive feedback, that is how impressed I was with the service I received. I had been searching for RELIABLE movers for quite some time without any luck. I stumbled across Marrins by accident. I contacted the company and was pleasantly surprised when they said they could squeeze me in for my August 31st move (one of the busiest move days of the year). Everything from courtesy and professionalism over the phone, to the promptness of the movers was spectacular. I will never use another mover again. the anxiety that some movers can create is overwhelming, and Marrins is not that way at all. confirmation emails and phone calls prior to the move. Firm quotes or hourly rates(you decide), really makes this a flexible company to work with. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER MOVER THEN MARRINS!!!!!

    All I can say is thank you! The reviews here and from my realtor certainly ring true. From the onsite estimate until the men left our house, everything was handled professionally and honestly. The price was exactly as we were quoted, actually went lower because we got rid of an item and we were able to donate furniture to a charity through Marrins'! The information from the administrative office was clear and timely and all questions were answered upfront. I will certainly recommend to anyone I know who needs a reputable mover! thanks for making what can be so stressful a pleasant experience!!

    I used Marrins for a move this past Friday, when it was about 10 degrees, and they were phenomenal. Showed up on time (actually a bit early), worked very quickly and carefully and were extremely personable and polite. We couldn't be happier with the level of service we received and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Thanks!

    I have had some bad experiences with movers in the past so I did a lot of research before using Marrins' Moving. Well it paid off! The quote I received at the time of the estimate was EXACTLY what I was charged on moving day. The men arrived on time, were very courteous, and did a wonderful job with our stuff. I would recommend them to all! They are owned by a father and son team. All of the people who I spoke to who used Marrins' said the same thing, you can trust Marrins' to treat your things as if they were their own. I am pleased to add my opinion to the other rave reviews I have read here on CitySearch.

    I moved 6 months ago and had a great experience with Marrins. The movers were extremely efficient and dedicated to the job. I was very impressed with their work ethic and attention to detail. All large and fragile items were wrapped thoroughly and handled with care. Everyone I interacted with was very professional and personable. Trustworthy as well. I have a large dresser, extra-large TV, and a sizeable bed and couch, and there were no problems moving into my walkup building with narrow hallways. I was quite relieved and certainly happy with my experience. I would use Marrns again. Only negative was that I had to wait outside with the truck during the move as to not get a double-parking ticket. All else was seemless.

    My boyfriend used Marrins' for his local move - 40 blocks. The challenge was get his large TV up 2 floors up in a tiny hallway ? they were successful. I was helping him move and Marrins was awesome- no extra hidden and surprise charges ? great customer service in office when I called them ? I definitely recommend!

    Marrins' Moving has performed both residential and commercial moves for me. The service was excellent. The movers were punctual, efficient and responded well to our questions and concerns. I was most impressed with the company's attention to delicate, breakable items. I highly recommend the company.

    Marrins' Movers were great from start to finish, the estimator was friendly, thorough and really knew the business. He was very specific as to the services which would be provided. The price was exactly as he had said - no surprises. The day of the move the Crew Chief arrived at my door first, did a complete walk through, took notes and then got the crew started. I never saw one of the movers on a break, smoking a cigarette or talking on a cell phone. They were very well mannered and mostly kept to themselves - very professional. We had a ton of stuff and I never heard one complaint from the crew. I will recommend Marrins' to anyone who I know is moving. Additionally, along the way they were very responsive to questions even in off hours and on weekends. They made what could have been a very traumatic experience very calm. Thank you again to Marrins for your superb services!!

    I work with movers a great deal and found Marrin's to be one of the best. In a business that has a less than stellar reputation, it was a pleasure to work with thid company. THe quote was accurate, I only paid for the time used and the movers worked skillfully, quickly but carefully with my possessions. I highly recomend this firm.

    We highly recommend Marrin's Moving, their work is truly outstanding. There were four workers, our foreman John was phenomenal. He knew just how to lift and turn furniture. He orchestrated the entire move beautifully! They were all very efficient and the work was very professional. Our prized possessions were all carefully wrapped and moved (including a piano that has been in our family for the past 60 years). The workers were very friendly and helpful. We even received a great tote bag filled with all the bare necessities one needs when moving into a new home - they did everything possible to make you happy and comfortable. Last but certainly not least - we shopped around quite a bit and you couldn?t beat the price. Marrin's did a great job and they were affordable!

    Marrins' moving has handled my last three moves, each of which has been outstanding. Their estimates are always right, their guys always show up on time, and they get the job done quickly and reliably. I haven't lost a thing, or had a thing broken, in 3 moves.

    I used Marrins' recently when moving into my new apartment. They were awesome! I didn't lift a finger the entire time. They wrapped all of my furniture and treated everything with care. They got the job done fast and professionally. The rate was very low also. I will definitely use them again for my next move.

    We have used Marrins for two big moves. They have the best customer service, the best deal in town and in our experience, created a painless move on both occassions. I liked the fact that you are given the price up front, prior to the move, that ensures no ugly surprises when the move is over and done with. Like a previous reviewer, on one move we ended paying less on one move in the end b/c Marrins saw that we had sold a few pieces of furniture after we had the estimate done. They are honest, hardworking and no detail is overlooked. The movers work quickly, yet carefully and we did not have to do a thing. I have recommened their services to friends and even an old boss. Everyone had the same great experience - don't call anyone else. Highly recommended.

    My move with Marrins' was over the summer and I did not know about this website then or I would have left a raving review! I recommend Marrins' to anyone who needs a mover. They have moved friends of mine locally and long distance. Each time I got great feedback on the service and overall experience. Marrins' provides a written, guaranteed estimate based on cubic feet. When I got rid of somethings before the actual move date my price actually went DOWN!! The crew was clean and very polite. I was amazed at how organized they were - it was like watching a machine as my house disappeared. We have a lot of fragile things and they were all treated with great care. My children especially liked their truck - it is painted like a cow for M-O-O-VING!! Helps when the kids are stressed over the unknowns of a new neighborhood and house.

    Marrins' Moving has moved my family three times in the last six years. Each time they were reliable, trust worthy and efficient. Their quotes are always accurate and final - no last minute additions or increases! Questions are handled promptly and completely. Good service seems a matter of family pride, because it is consistent good service! Great to work with.

    arrinsMovers has moved my family twice. Each time it was a VERY pleasant experience. They packed most of my house and the move was smooth (NOTHING was broken!!) and the personnel were kind and courteous. We have a very extensive wine collection, Marrins Movers packed each bottle of wine (over 300+ bottles) and our wine cellar and unpacked them in our new home without even a scratch!! I would highly recommend them for your moving needs!!

    This was my third move with Marrins'. Again, the salesperson provided a guaranteed estimate, that is all I was charged nothing more nothing less. The men were clean, well mannered, worked efficiently, and took great care with my belongings. All of my moves have been local within NYC, but I have recommended my family and friends and they have had great experiences with long distance moves and storage provided by Marrins'. They are owned by a father and son, Bob and Robert anr really run a great operation.
