Soliemoves

We used Solie to move a couch and do an IKEA run back in 2010, and couldn’t have been happier with his service. As a result, when we needed to get some stuff from IKEA again to move to our new house, we contacted Solie, expecting the same level of excellent service. Well, things have certainly changed in five years, and sadly, not for the better.
We contacted him over a week before we needed him to get the items from IKEA. We had to contact him more than once to even get a response, which was the first problem. Once he finally responded after a few days, we had to write him several times to get him to follow-​up. After several days of email back and forth (he blamed his assistant for the lack of communication, who he said wasn’t following up), we finally got him to send us an invoice on Thurs for the items he was supposed to purchase on Fri and deliver on Sat. However, when he sent us the invoice, he never told us whether we had to pay before or after delivery.
We wrote him several times on Friday, asking if he had purchased the items, and if everything was okay for Sat. No response. We wrote and called him on Sat morning as well. He finally emailed us back, less than an hour before our scheduled delivery time, saying that he hadn’t purchased anything and that he wouldn’t be delivering anything because we never paid. When we wrote back and told him that he hadn’t responded to any of our emails for two days, he told us it was all his assistant’s fault, because she was having personal problems. (He actually told us, as an excuse, that people run businesses and have personal lives, apparently not caring about wasting our personal time at all). We then told him we weren’t interesting in working with him because we couldn’t trust him. The following day, his assistant – who had been cc’ed on all the emails – wrote us with a revised invoice. Apparently Solie never even communicated to her that we were no longer working with him.
While he was good to work with several years ago, I would stay away now. He doesn’t communicate, and appears more interested in making excuses for his bad service than in actually improving said service.

I’ve never even met Solie Jordan but he got my email address when I was looking for a mover at least 6 years ago. And through the years he has kept trying to add me to to his mailing list. Just today I deleted an invitation from him on Linked In. Come on! We’ve never even talked! This has gone beyond marketing and into the realm of rudeness.

I recently moved to a new apartment and Solie helped to do my Ikea shopping. I’m keeping this review short, basically as a testament that his services are legit and real.
I was looking at 4+ websites providing similar services and decided to go with Solie due to the other Unilocal reviews (and photos) that made me feel safer. To digress, I was also talking to guys from «Anytime Assembly Pros» they are absolutely sneaky and not honest with their fees. If anyone of you is reading this review right now please take note.
Anyways, Solie’s team delivered on time with a 3-​man team. It was a swift process. One of the TV Desk was out of stock at Ikea and I just got a refund from Solie. To those who are wondering, all transactions are done via Paypal. Soliemoves will send an invoice and you will pay for it first, Paypal will hold the money until services are complete. Overall I’m very satisfied with the service.

We just had a terrific experience with Soliemoves. Bought a couch on Craig’s List yesterday in Brooklyn and needed it delivered to Harlem. They were very responsive to phone calls and emails were returned within minutes. They took care to wrap the couch in blankets and plastic and delivered it in perfect condition. Will definitely call on them again with any moving needs!

Solie and his team were great! I was referred by a friend after complaining about terrible movers during my previous move. Solie and his team did not damage anything, picked up my new couch for me on the way and even let me ride with them in the truck!
Solie has experience working with interior designers which was a HUGE plus because he was able to help me be efficient and put it together nice in a very small studio. They did not over rush and helped me as opposed to the last movers who just threw everything in the room and left. Solie charged hourly but they moved fast and efficiently doing so much for me in a shorter time than I imagined. He did not try and delay time to get more money out of me like many movers. Because of this I will definitely use his moving service again and give referrals.
I am already hiring him again for his other business Solie Run, where he is shopping for my ikea products. I sent him the item numbers and he will deliver and assemble for an affordable price. His company and team seems to be very handy!

used these guys for an ikea shipping/​assembly job. got a few quotes from competitors and soliemoves’ rates were either competitive or better. decided to go with them as their communication was better and positive Unilocal reviews.
after the initial booking and payment, communication did suffer a bit. i would knock off a half star for this if i could. solie did acknowledge that they are overwhelmed with emails and that they do need to improve by either getting more help, even if it’s only to respond to mails.
i just moved back to ny after being away for a bit. i tossed out all my old, crappy furniture before i left. i needed to furnish my 1 bdrm apt from scratch, and didnt want to spend a fortune doing it, so i put together and entire apt’s worth of furniture in an ikea shopping list and had these guys pickup, deliver and assemble for me.
anyways, these guys were fast and friendly. first time Unilocal review. i would absolutely recommend these guys and am happy to support them by spending a few minutes to sign up and write this

Moving is one of the top ten most stressful life events. Having it done it too many times, 10x’s in 16 years, having help is essential. For all three moves in NYC, over the past 8.5 years, I’ve used Soliemoves. Why? Because Solie is courteous, attentive, professional and able to get the job done. His rates are reasonable and his staff is always friendly. They have moved my furniture, my boxes, put together a bed for me, and do it all with patience and willingness. What can I say? SOLIEMOVES is the only move you should make!!! I appreciate knowing Solie and how he handles his business.

Solie Moves rocks! this was my second job. they picked up a couch for me from a CL purchase.
My move went awesome. super fast. super strong, for skinny guys. from a third floor walk up in Brooklyn to the Bronx. They are geniuses at putting Ikea furniture together.
Their disposition made me happy, nothing upset them. totally professional and patient. looks like they’re happy to do what they do daily. Yes, i need a few stuff from Ikea and will be calling them back for an Ikea run. So guys get ready for me to harass you soon :)
Thank you guys!

This was the second job Solie has done for us. We could not recommend him any higher. The first was a couch and two big rocking chairs. And this last one was the matching ottoman. Solie himself helped us track down the temporarily lost item (no connection or fault of his) during and after two snow storms. He personally connected with the originating truck and rendezvoused on Long Island to retrieve our ottoman. Talk about literally going the extra mile! All of the items were delivered with no damage. And they brought them all the way upstairs.
Again, go with Solie. He’s trustworthy, diligent, very friendly, and capable of getting any job done.
Thank you.

Fast, friendly and reliable. 5 stars

We worked with Solie to consolidate and move items for the Fancy Food Show. He did a great job of receiving the items, putting them on pallets and marking sure they got delivered on time and to the the correct location. He’s easy to contact via phone and was very responsive and accommodating to our needs. And he went out of his way to help us. Two packages didn’t make it onto the pallets and he came into Manhattan twice to get them to us. His price was super reasonable and I’d be happy to recommend him to anyone looking to move items in NYC.

I bought some furniture off Craig s List they did a great job of picking it up and delivery.
I would recommend them any day of the week!!!

I use Soliemoves exclusively for all my moving services. I have never been disappointed. Thanks to Solie for being committed to consistently getting the job done!

Like they say, no job’s too large or too small. I’ve used Solie and his guys for over 5 moves and have been delighted every time. Simply put, they are friendly, efficient, professional and brilliant.

I used Solie once to move from my old hood to my new one and everything went great. He was very efficient & a nice dude, and so was his friend who helped him, but um, his friend hit on me and I was SO not interested. Ha. Still had a good experience, though in my opinion he’s just a tad bit expensive.

Solie is the best — from Ikea pick ups to installations, apartment moves and furniture assembly, he’s a great go-​to guy. Really nice, smart, professional — I first used Solie nearly ten years ago and continue to recommend him.

Moving is the worst thing ever, but if you have to do it, I highly, highly recommend Soliemoves. Solie and his partner Dan were spot-​on in every way. Prompt, funny, strong, fast, professional, courteous, careful and super-​cool. I wish more businesses were run this way — then maybe moving wouldn’t be such a pain. They got me out of a 4^th floor walk-​up in Red Hook like it was no big thing. Not a single broken glass. Fast & efficient. USE THESE GUYS!!!
