Mon Oct 05 2009I am very meticulous about my furniture so when the movers showed up and wrapped my furniture very well and were not in a rush, I could not have been more happy. The service was excellent and I tipped them well for their extra care and patience. Best move and I have gone through 5 moves in 12 years and this has been hands down the best experience. Highly Recommended!

Mon Oct 05 2009I called these guys after trying to negotiate rates with other moving companies and found Ben Hur on Citysearch. 123NYCNYC does not know what he is talking about. He is probably someone from another moving company too. Anyway, moving to my girlfriends was going to be the biggest hassle of my life, until it was over before I finished packing my clothes. These guys did such an unbelievable job I barely remember moving. That is how it should be. Smooth, fast, and easy. That's what they are. Thanks Ben Hur!!!

Mon Sep 21 2009Worst movers in history. You would be better off moving yourself than hiring them. They took smoke breaks every hour and damaged my dining room table with a knife, china cabinet and broke my door to name a few.

Mon Apr 20 2009I have moved with Ben Hur movers 4 times and have used their storage facility for the past 4 years. They are always very professional and the crew always arrives on time. Moving is stressful in and of itself and I always rest assured knowing that my valuables are being packed correctly and transported properly. Ben Hur Movers make all of the difference in the world. I highly recommend Ben Hur Moving and Storage to anyone who has never used professional movers. They really came through for me once again.

Mon Mar 30 2009I originally got a quote from FlatRate that I thought was the norm. About a week or two later, since I still didn't sign with them, they dropped their price. When I finally got my move date for this past Saturday, they of course raised the price and tried to take advantage. I found Ben Hur online and read these reviews posted here. I was a bit hesitant because the price was so much cheaper than FlatRate but I went for it anyway and I am glad I did. These guys were 1/2 hour early and I could not believe how fast and careful they were. My move was completed in 4 and 1/2 hrs. I was sooo pleased I tipped them well. They deserved it. Thank you so much Ben Hur & Crew!!!!!!!

Tue Nov 25 2008I had to move out of my apt urgently and didn't trust no company. Since the beggining of my bussiness with Ben Hur i knew i was working with a reliable company. I schedule for a estimator come to my house and he was so polite and was able to give me a very fair price. They even call me to confirm my move eventhough i should had beeb the one calling them. On the day of my move the guys were about 10 minutes late but the extraordinary job they performed on my move was more than enough to compensate their lateness. Everything went smooth and fast. Thanks to the crew and the staff i moved and kept some money in my pockets.

Sun Sep 21 2008Movers were fast , efficient and reliable. The guys were very helpful, they even helped me pack items that were not scheduled to be moved. I have a lot of antiques and everything was very well taken care of everything was moved and put on place at my new apt. I can't complaint i had an extraordinary service for a very low cost. Just couldn't ask for more.

Thu Sep 04 2008BEST AND MOST RELIABLE COMPANY EVER. I LOVE BEN HUR. I COULDN'T FIND A COMPANY TO DO MY LAST MINUTE MOVE. NOT ONLY THEY MOVED ME BUT THEY DID MY MOVE PLEASANT AND EASY. THEY PACKED EVERYTHING FOR ME AND WERE ABLE TO PUT MY STUFF BACK TOGETHER AT MY NEW PLACE. THEY WERE GREAT AND PROFESSIONAL.

Tue Sep 02 2008I have used many other moving companies before but using this Ben Hur was the best choice i ever made. I moved from Staten Island to Manhattan and it was my faster, smooth and comfortable move ever. Since the beggining everything was easy, i had a very considerate estimator and movers were helpful, responsive and very professional ( i feel i had he best team). I highly recommend Ben Hur.

Tue Aug 05 2008I was skeptical when Ben Hur's estimate was $700 cheaper than the other places (who all warned me about places that would charge me extra, after my stuff was already on the truck). But they were GREAT! So much cheaper than every other place I called (including Man with a Van on Craigslist). They moved furniture from my studio for just over $400 (other estimates were as high as $1,200--shockingly.) I work for a non-profit, so I wanted to keep costs way down and just have them move furniture--no boxes. They showed up right on time, didn't stop for lunch, and even helped me move a few extra items despite my protest (I was afraid they'd charge me more). There were no hidden costs and they were very careful with all my furniture--wrapped it, etc. Not the chattiest guys I've ever met, but nice enough. And VERY hardworking. They did leave a few marks on the wall when moving stuff into my new place, but the hallway is very narrow, and once they realized they were doing it, they were... Read more

Thu Jul 31 2008Ben Hur moved my girlfriend and me both into our new apartment. They broke the front door in the process. I called and spoke with Hector in the maintenace department at Ben Hur to see if the door could be fixed. He said "we broke it, we fix it." He said someone would be out to fix it, then called and rescheduled, then the guy never showed, we rescheduled, he never showed again, and a week later the door never is not fixed. Hector claims to not be able to get in touch with the guy in the field to fix the door. Also, the movers were slow, and aggressive when time to tip. I gave a 250 tip on a 370 bill.

Thu Aug 02 2007This is the third time I have used Ben Hur. Every experience has been GREAT!! The movers arrived 15 minutes before the scheduled time. My move was going to NC and the Long Distance Department was always on point with every step of my move. Winnie was so courtesy and professional with sincerity. Ofer was always responsive with follow ups. This experience made me feel secure from start to finish. My other experiences was also, GREAT!! Ben Hur knows how to treat their customers and are very caring about the moving experience....If I could give 6 STARS I would!!!! :)

Mon Mar 12 2007I had to do a last minute move. I was some what scared because i didn't have much time so i had to set the move with the first company. I had to go into storage after the movers arrived at my new address because the apartment was not ready and thought it was gonna cost me a fortune. Gladly, my stuff got into storage and to my new home in perfect condition, the price was more than decent, the movers were on time for the pick up, professional and very helpful, they had alot of patience with my unexpected situation. The guys for my delivery were awesome, they even help me reassemble my bed and other articles, all this with no extra cost and and thats without mentioning that i had already explained to the movers that all i had was $20 left for tip. I have no woeds to describe Ben Hur services. THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!!

Tue Sep 05 2006Moving with Ben Hur was the best experience i've had after moving with a few other companies. I finally found one that accomplished all my needs, the movers were very professional, helpful, punctual and energetic, i had the best service when trying to get information about the move date, prices and last minute requirements. Unlike other companies, they were interested on making me happy even after the move. The last thing i expected was a call from the company just to ask about the move and Ben Hur wasn't only about the business but also about making me feel it was not only about the bussiness but the desire to keep a customer happy.

Thu Aug 10 2006As you all know, the thought of moving is extremely STRESSFUL! At first I was a bit shaky, but after speaking with my estimator and with the dispatchers I became more confident. I recently moved from New York, NY- Tampa, FL and recieved my shipment with no problems, in a timely manner, and without DAMAGES! I would advise everyone to use Ben Hur Moving & Storage whenever they want to move. -Olai

Wed Mar 29 2006I recently used Ben Hur for a move. The price was good, the guys who picked my stuff up were on time and very professional. I have nothing bad to say about my moving experience with Ben Hur. I will most certainly use them again!

Mon Jan 02 2006I was skeptical about ben hur for my office move being that their binded quote came out 30% below their closest competitor but I decided to go with them anyway. It was supposed to start at 8:30 - they got there at 10:30. Dispatch was nasty and not helpful when inquiring about the delay but at the end of the day movers were professional and effiecient and completed the move within my specified time. Overall I am glad I wen with BenHur

Fri Dec 09 2005My wife and I have used Ben Hur moving 3 times in the last 5 years. Ben Hur moved us first from a 1 bedroom to another 1 bedroom apartment. Than when our son was born, from a 1 bedroom to a 2 bedroom apartment. Last month following our daughter birth, from the 2 bedroom apartment to our 3 bedroom apartment. Each time they were punctual and professional. The foreman was very helpful and the team friendly. Ben Hur always honored the written price that they gave us and never tried to hit use with ungentlemanly hidden charges. We recommended and will continue recommending Ben Hur to all our friends and we are planning to use them for our next move to our dream house.

Mon Nov 14 2005First of all they were two hours late for my appointment, then they got two parking tickets because they didnt' read the signs. When they went to drop off my stuff they got lost, in Queens. I am sorry but if you call yourself a moving company should you have some directions as to where to go and if you dont' know ask???

Sat Jul 30 2005Moving is stressful enough without having to worry about the movers. Thank you Ben Hur for making my move so easy. I got an accurate quote for the move, the movers were on time and took care with my stuff and delivered everything safely to its new home.

Wed Jul 27 2005I was extremely impressed with the service I received from Ben Hur Moving. The crew that was sent was prompt, courteous, efficient and very detail oriented. I had alot of delicate ceramic ware that they packed very carefully. They handled all my property in that way. I would highly recommend this moving company to my friends. Overall, they did a great job!

Mon Jul 25 2005The movers were extremely nice, gentle with my belongings and patient with all of my requests. These guys had to climb several flight of stairs and they finished the job before scheduled.
