Excellent Quality Movers

This post is delayed but just as the name suggests, EQ movers are excellent. I moved from NJ to NY and they were fast, efficient, and treated my belongings with care and respect. It took them a long time to get to my apartment in NJ, but they called ahead of the scheduled time and told me that there was a horrible accident on the BQE that is delaying their arrival. Once they arrived, it took them less than 1 hour to get everything wrapped and loaded on the truck. The guys were super nice and friendly to talk to. I would highly recommend this company for any moving needs.

Excellent Quality Movers was fantastic. They showed up right on time and completed my move in less than 2 hours. Out of the old place, loaded, driving and into the new place. Vitas was so helpful and kind and his two helpers worked hard and were polite and careful with my belongings. I have never been more impressed with a moving service and will absolutely be choosing them again for my next move. Highly recommend!

These guys are fast and efficient! Very professional while planning the appointment as well as on the day of the move. Definitely recommend !

The best moving experience I’ve had. These guys showed up early, were efficient, extremely courteous and very careful in wrapping and handling my furniture. I moved from a bedroom in one 5^th floor walk-​up to another 5^th floor walk-​up, and within 2 hours these guys had the job done. The prices are decent and furniture installation is included. Worth every penny for a hassle-​free move. Would refer all friends, family and colleagues.

I just had a very good moving experience with this company. I spent an arm and a leg reupholstering an antique sofa. Wednesday (June 15^th), when I attempted to schedule an elevator reservation for Friday (June 17^th) for the sofa delivery and obtain a certificate of insurance («COI») for my building (a requirement in most buildings these days…), the upholsterer played stupid and suddenly their delivery van was in the shop for service. First they recommended I bribe the super and skip the COI. I did not want to do that. Did I mention they informed me on Thursday morning that they would be closed for at least two weeks starting on Saturday — they were going on vacation. (Thanks for the advanced notice…) Won’t be doing business with that upholsterer ever again. So I started calling and emailing movers in New York City.
Jack the dispatcher was firm on the price — it was one of the better ones and he was able to send me the COI via email within an hour of my informational email. He was only able to provide me with a 2 hour window (1:00 to 3:00 Friday) for pick up because he was not sure when the 14 crews would be finished with their first job of the day.
Well, we ran late and arrived at the upholsterer to settle up and inspect the sofa at 1:25. Two guys arrived at 1:35. They wrapped the sofa in blankets, taped the blankets and then rolled plastics wrap around it. The upholsterer barked out instructions as to how to wrap the sofa and carry it out of the shop. The two movers carefully secured the sofa in the moving truck, It was sort of large considering I only needed to move the one sofa. They used a seatbelt-​like strap and attached it to the wall of the truck. They gave me a ride back to the city from Queens, My husband took the subway back and arrived 10 minutes after we pulled up to my building.
The two guys were nice, clean, had a good attitude and completed the job in about 75 minutes (inclusive of wrapping, driving, moving into the building and paperwork).
I would use them again. My sofa arrived in one piece. There was no drama.
For what it is worth, I moved into the current apartment from a rental the previous year — that move did not go well. This was a much better experience!

Awesome job done from start to finish. Sergei handled my inquiries and information requests in a very timely manner. It was almost too good to be true! I booked the date for our move and they were there as promised. These guys busted there butts getting the truck loaded and unloaded. They disconnected my 2 wall mounted flat screens and took apart and reassembled the bed and were such a delight and easy to work with. They worked so hard I tipped them extra for the excellent job they did! Thanks again to all of you there at EQ Movers. You made the move so much easier from West New York, NJ to Doylestown, PA!

These guys are legit — they are super quick and careful and literally made this the easiest move of my life. Also really polite and were on time, ready to go… highly recommend these dudes!!!

Moving is rated as the second stressful experience after a loss of a spouse. Excellent Quality Movers made my studio move stress free. The moment the team of 4 entered the old studio filled with hundreds of boxes and heavy furniture we knew we were in good hands. They were professional, courteous, considerate to our needs and careful with the movables. The most important thing — despite being paid by hour, the team was fast and efficient. I have used the company’s services 2 times and will use them again.

This is my fourth time using these guys to move within Manhattan, and if/​when the housing gods decree, I will use them again. They are the cheapest licensed company I’ve found and always do a good job. This time was no different — guys were fast but attentive and rate was totally fair, especially if you move before the 27^th of the month as I did. Estimates and booking through their gmail address is easy. Moving always sucks but Sergei and the company help you worry a bit less.

I moved a lot of times but never had a pleasant experience like this before. Jack helped me on the phone to schedule everything. Crew came on time, four very professional and experienced movers. The head of the crew, Alex was amazing. It took as approximately 10 hrs and they never complained. Nothing was broken, not even a glass and this was a big house (3 bedroom). I am so glad that I choose this company. If you want a pleasant experience you should defineltely choose them I promise you won’t regret. Thank you EQM for your excellent service. (PS Prices are very reasonable too).

EQ Movers made my first move in NY a pleasant, stress-​free experience. I was referred to them by a tenant in my old apt who worked with them three times. I’ve been searching several days for a reliable company that offered a decent price for the amount of stuff I had, which wasn’t that much but still enough to require a truck. Dimitry and his crew showed up promptly, moved my furniture swiftly from Manhattan to Brooklyn within 2 hours, and gave me a great price to top it off. Also got to ride in the front of the truck and crack jokes with the guys the whole time.
I will definitely be turning to them again in a few months when my lease is up. :)

I’ve used these guys twice already. Once for a short move (down the street literally), and then for a long distance move.
Both times, they were on time, careful with our boxes, and explained why certain things needed to be done (we didn’t know about wrapping our mattress in a bag). The first time, we didn’t have a kid, second time we did. And they were nice to her and didn’t mind when she got in their way. They also didn’t mind an extra stop to storage.
The best part is their price. So much more affordable. The other movers quoted twice to triple. They kept it simple.
Love these guys and will be recommending them going forward.

Excellent Quality Movers lives up to their name! They made my move extremely quick, pleasant, and easy! They came right at 9 (the beginning of my time window), and work right away to get everything out of the place and into the truck. I moved from Stamford CT to Harlem, and I took the train to meet them. They estimated that they would get there at 12:30 and ended up getting to my place at the same time (11:30! again, so fast). They made sure everything was taken well care of when handled. Overall, very great team and awesome service!

Just had these guys deliver my stuff today and everything went very smoothly. They work hard and fast, and protect all your belongings by wrapping it up carefully. I recommend them.

These guys did our move in February 2014, on the most disgusting slushy snowy freezing day of the year. I was just thinking about them, because we’re moving again (this time, cross country), and I wish I could hire them. The movers were incredibly professional, fast, and careful, while dealing with the absolute worst weather conditions. They did a fantastic job for a very fair price.

Just moved yesterday and I couldn’t be happier with this company! They were fast, efficient and well prepared. My move couldn’t have gone more smoothly. The price was fair and they were super quick to get back to me whenever I contacted them. Thanks for making moving day less stressful guys!

I’ve used this company for my last three moves and they always do an amazing job. They show up on time and are very courteous. They explain every detail of your move and are very careful with the fragile items. Last week I had Igor and his crew on my move from Harlem to Long Island. During the move the elevator in my building broke and Igor and his crew were actually able to get it running again averting a disaster. They are the best!

Booked through unpakt, these guys were INCREDIBLY fast and courteous.
We have a large 1 bedroom with a big kitchen, so lots of heavy bins, and an odd shaped entrance.
4 guys, i think they were all Russian, came right at 9. In 2 hours they had EVERYTHING in the truck. About an hour on the other end to get everything out, up the stairs, and in the correct rooms. All in all about $ 350 plus. Worth every penny. HIGHLIY recommend.

I was very happy with Excellent Quality Movers. Jack promptly answered all my messages and questions ahead of the move. On moving day, a team of 3 people (Alex E, Farhad, and Andrew) showed up and packed everything in 1.5 hours (and we had A TON of stuff — I truly thought it would have taken us the whole morning). The moving team was efficient, extremely professional, nice, and fast. I highly recommend them, I will definitely use them again for my next move.

The guys were absolutely amazing and excellent. The process was easy, customer service was in touch from the beginning of the process and made the moving process so much easier. The guys were in good spirits for being a cold January day and having to deal with a 4-​floor walk-​up. I was astounded by the quality and will be using them in the future.

The guys at Excellent Quality Movers were amazing. They took what could have been a very difficult move and made our lives easier. It’s not easy downsizing from 3 bedrooms to a 1 bedroom. They helped every step of the way. They were fair with final bill and were gracious every time we changed our minds about what we were taking and what we were leaving behind. This is the 3^rd time we use them and by far the most difficult. They handled it like they always do. Alex and his crew were the best.

Worked well, fair price, did what they said, said what they did! Sergei was easy to get in touch with via phone and email. Showed up on time, efficient, pleasant, no extra fees, With the truck in picture. Used for Staten Island to Massachusetts move. Would recommend them.

These guys were very professional and Jack confirmed appointment the day before and we were accommodated at the very last minute for a Saturday morning appointment. They were on time and moved our belongings very quickly and carefully. I’m quite amazed at their speed honestly. Jack quoted us a very affordable rate and we were very happy with the service and the price. I highly recommend them for your next move. Seriously. These guys mean business and they are prepared to work hard to move you.

I moved with EQ Movers for the second time just yesterday, and it was as smooth as I could have asked for! Ilya and his team arrived precisely on time, parked and ready to go — a miracle in itself in midtown Manhattan! They were so nice and professional, and worked nonstop throughout the entire process. Ilya also pointed out all the pieces that may be «at risk» (due to weak construction, joints, etc.), which I thought was helpful, but I’m happy to report all the pieces made it to the new location without issue.
I found the rate reasonable and breakdown of charges fair and easy to understand — no surprises at the end. The reservation process was also very easy — prompt and thorough responses. I highly recommend them!

This is the best moving service I have ever used. Everything was done in timely fashion and I was surprised to attention of the details by these guys. Every item was carried carefully and after their arrival I felt very comfortable with them moving some of my most valuable items.
I would highly recommend their service as the most efficient in NYC. And all of this was done at very reasonable rate!

This is the 2^nd time I’ve used EQ movers and I am beyond happy with their service. This has to be the most professional, reliable, efficient and reasonably priced moving company in NYC. Handled all my furniture with care — made two stops — 1 to storage and 1 to final apartment on a 4^th floor walk up. Will be using them for all my moves and recommending them to others! Thank you for making my move easy when I know it could have been a nightmare.

These guys were incredibly helpful, nice, and professional both over the phone and in person. Everything went smoothly and painlessly.
They were thorough and no-​nonsense and broke down the non-​optional and optional expenses, such as wrapping options, very clearly. For example we had a large plain mirror, and the foreman discussed how much it would cost us to wrap it up very very securely vs. just wrapping it in blankets for free. Because it wasn’t a very valuable mirror he suggested it was probably *not* worth paying to wrap it up professionally, but on the other hand just using blankets there was a decent chance it could break, being a thin mirror in the truck with everything else. We decided to risk not wrapping it up, and happily it didn’t break either! We paid for our more valuable large items (framed artwork) to be wrapped and boxed and they did a great job. They also frankly went over our options for parking: park closer in a no-​parking spot and risk an $ 80 ticket, park further and pay the extra time it would take for them to walk to and from the truck.
They were the cheapest rate we received ($ 120/​hour for 4 movers) and they worked fast and without breaks and we got our 2 bedroom apartment packed full of stuff (we’d already boxed everything except some large pictures) loaded, driven over, and unloaded in under 5 hours. All of our furniture wrapped well (and disassembled and re-​assembled where necessary) and we didn’t notice any damage on anything.

This company subcontracts the move out to a different company. This other company moved me and scratched an expensive bedframe. I saw the movers do it with my own eyes. They lied to me and said that they did not do it. Finally, they admitted it and begged me not to claim the damage because they would not get paid.
This was my experience.

First of all want to mention that this company is probably the best moving company I have met. They arrived 10 minutes early. The quote was exactly accurate, including all possible fees and insurance, which was required in my new building and the organization of work was great.
Even though the business model they have is based on hourly rate the guys were very fast and never played for time. My situation was also complicated as I was moving into apartment which I am currently renovating and the walls were painted and still wet. Not a single scratch and they even managed to move king size mattress into the last room through very narrow hallway without touching walls. I would use them again and will recommend my friends as well.

I’ve used EQ Movers twice in the last 2 years changing apartments in NYC. They are absolutely the best of the best. Very honest company that does not charge surcharges for stairs, furniture (dis)assembly, extra stops, etc.
Both moves (Hells Kitchen to Morningside Heights and Morningside Heights to Spanish Harlem) were completed within 2.5 hours each. All my items arrived clean and without damage. These guys take great care to ensure your items are wrapped properly and will advise you on any concerns they have about moving delicate items.
Finally, their prices are very competitive and the guys are really friendly. Highly recommend them! I will use them for a third time on my next move.

Have to write a review, as these guys go above and beyond. It started when I reached out for a quote, and Sergei misunderstood and thought I was looking to move a few days from when I reached out to him (in fact, I was an early bird and looking for a month down the road). He immediately wrote me back, confirmed availability and asked to speak by phone. In other words, he was ready to make it work in an emergency. I didn’t need that, but appreciated it nonetheless.
What I did need was to change my move date not once, not twice, but three times as the vagaries of home ownership eluded me. Sergei was incredibly good-​natured, simply switching my moving dates without any attitude at all, and also bore my OCD «reconfirming» emails with grace.
On move day, the team (Adrian and his crew) were excellent. On time, ready to work, and incredibly pleasant, they went above and beyond in dealing with some tricky things (like an unexpected holiday shift in the street parking situation, and teensy «freight» elevators). I genuinely liked these guys.
They did scratch a few things — my bedside tables, a few picture frames — but the important stuff was impeccably moved, and they quickly dissembled and reassembled the bed perfectly.
But the real kicker was at the end of the move. Sergei promised a discount if I paid in cash, but both Adrian and I forgot to actually apply it when I paid. I wrote to Sergei and explained the issue, and no problem — he offered to personally drop off a check to my home that night, no questions asked! And when that didn’t work out, he promptly dropped it in the mail. It might be the only time «the check is in the mail» turned out to be true in the history of the universe.
In short, Sergei did everything he could to make things easy in a very stressful situation. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or to recommend them. He and his team are responsible, ethical, hardworking guys who are a pleasure to work with.

We have moved a lot and had all manner of mediocre moving experiences. I was thoroughly impressed by the professionalism, efficiency, and pricing of Excellent Quality Movers. There pricing is transparent and affordable and their crew is incredibly hard working.
My wife and I plus two kids moved from a 2 bedroom in Brooklyn to a house in the burbs and Alex and his crew got us fully packed, out of the apartment, pick up from a storage locker and into our new home and partially unpacked in 10 hours.
I can’t recommend these guys enough. The one bit of advice is to buy boxes and packing paper on your own and have it ready for them.

Fred’s team was amazing! Between my wife and I we have had 24 different apartments in the last 15 years and this was the best move either of us had experienced. Fred and his team were punctual, caring, fast, polite and extremely professional. They took very good care of all of our belongings and never once complained about the 5 floor walk up. The entire team worked very hard and efficiently and we were very impressed. The way that the team talked to us about our delicate furniture and other delicate items made us feel very comfortable that they were going to be safe and sound getting to our new house.
The move into the house was lightning speed! It took about 45 minutes to unload an entire 2 bedroom apartment into our house.
I can’t speak highly enough of Fred, his team and Excellent Quality Movers. Hopefully we will be in our new home for a long time but the next time we do relocate I will not hesitate to call Excellent Quality Movers.
Thanks again Fred and the guys!

Nothing to complain about with this moving experience.
Finding a reliable moving company in NYC is a real chore — I spent hours doing research and asking my friends for recommendations. I decided to go with this company because I had a few solid recommendations from a few different friends and friends of friends, but was very weary since every moving experience was different, but my experience was consistent with theirs.
It was painless to schedule an appointment with them, and Sergei was very responsive to my phone calls/​emails prior to my move. I told him my buildings’ restrictions (e.g., times I could move in/​out of both buildings, truck size, the tricky parking situations) and he made sure everything was accommodated and accounted for. The company charges based on time/​labor, rather than per piece, so I was a little leary they would be slow-​moving, but the crew was punctual and also worked very quickly. I chose to pack my boxes myself and to have them just move my boxes /​wrap my furniture, and for the furniture, the team was quick with assembly/​disassembly. None of my belongings were lost or broken during the move!
My actual moving cost ended up being over $ 100 less than the quote I had received, because the team had worked so quickly.
I was super relieved that I chose this company to handle my move and was so happy with how everything turned out.

This was literally the best move compared to all others. I was terrified about hiring movers after a horrible craigslist experience that left me in tears. However, go with these guys, you will be smiling by the end of it. Dealing with Sergei is awesome. He responds promptly and answers all your questions.
Today was moving day and they showed up 30 min early! We were out of my storage unit in jersey so quickly. Like 45 min or so. Then they got my stuff to my new place in Harlem and quickly got everything out of the truck and into my place. They saw that my desk was beaten bad and fixed it for me! Seriously great guys. It took only two guys to move my stuff within 2 hours including a long drive from north Bergen to Harlem in morning traffic! The total cost was $ 260 plus $ 54 for tolls. I definitely gave them a great tip! I’ll be using them from now on if I need to move. Ignore these bad reviews because this company is stellar!!!

I did not actually have EQM move me, but every other aspect of their business was terrific.
After investigating a variety of movers (and after a horrendous experience 3 years earlier where the movers attempted to shake me down with my stuff sitting on their truck), I settle on EQM because of their Unilocal reputation, for the reasonable price, for the professionalism I saw in communicating with the owner, and for the ease with which the owner, Alex, worked.
After agreeing to a date and time with EQ, I encountered a variety of issues on my landlord’s end (past and present), and long story short, I kept asking Alex questions and changing the move date. I think I changed it 3 times, and each time, he was reasonably accommodating. Then I needed a COI at the last second, and Alex said no problem.
In the end, I ended up with another company, having to do with our landlords arguing over when we had to move out and had to move in – we needed a mover who could store our move on their truck overnight.
But, we we impressed with EQ and would definitely give them a call if we move again.

Though they broke one of my furniture during my move out, I’m willing to give them 4 stars as well as recommend to my friends who are set to move this summer for two primary reasons:
1) They are very honest. They charge additional fees for covers (such as mattress, TV, mirror, etc), and I was advised not to use a mirror cover, considering that the price that you have to pay for new mirror is cheaper than the price for a mirror cover. Also, regarding the damage to my furniture, they told me very honestly «sorry, this is totally my fault. we will try to fix it as much as I can.»
2) Very fast. I finished my move out/​in within 3.5 hours. The payment is on an hourly basis ($ 85 per hour if you move within Manhattan), but they don’t pretend to waste time. They arrived at my home in time; moved out everything to truck within 1.5 hours; and carried them to my new apt within 2 hours.
I’d not say «excellent» but would say «great» quality movers. Highly recommend.
