Movers 201

I can’t say enough good things about these guys. Amir came and gave me a quote which I was very happy with. In the end it wound up costing almost $ 200 less than what he quoted. The guys on the day of the move, Pablo et al. were great. Super friendly and attentive. They did a great job, wrapped everything with care and didn’t seem to be spinning their wheels at all to make it take longer. They were basically in constant motion. This was also not the easiest move. Going from one three story townhouse to another three story townhouse with a driveway that has probably a 45 degree incline. I probably could have done a better job directing them so that they weren’t carrying stuff upstairs necessarily but they took it in stride. Did I mention there was a snowstorm during the first half of the move too? When we got to the new place they did their best not to track stuff in the house but it was difficult given the 4 inches of snow that had just fallen and the salt I had to put on the driveway. In the end they made every effort to keep it clean. All in all they did great, polite, quick, nothing broken, everything reassembled and where it needed to go. I cannot recommend them more highly. Thank you guys!

Great moving company. Movers were great and hard working. They wrapped everything very good and nothing got dirty or broke. I originally requested 4 hours but when movers came they told me it would take 5 – 6 hours because I had a lot. They did it in 5 hours and I paid an additional hour which was fine because they did a lot and new building had long walking distance. No hidden fees unlike every other scam moving company! Called several movers and so happy I decided to go with Movers 201! Definitely will be using them again.

Amazing! I’ve moved 4 times
and wish I had heard of them earlier. I had to empty my mom’s apartment as she had been moved to hospice. My window of time to move was very limited. I called and spoke to Amir who was great. He asked me what the contents were of the apartment and I told him. I told him I had less than a week to do it and he fit me in with the most reasonable price EVER.
On moving day, the guys showed up– Redd, Zotti, and Edwin. These guys were a comedy act when it came to bantering with each other. But when it came time to move the furniture-​utmost professionalism. They even got an upright piano moved from a second story walk up apartment with no problems. Everything was wrapped and protected nicely.
The entire move was done under the time estimated and I was charged accordingly– which was less than the initial quote.
I would highly recommend using Movers201. Finally an honest moving company!

Great guys!
My move went super smooth. Amir was great! He provided an in house quote and provided everything he promised. No in between the lines! Great group of guys, I highly recommend.
Upfront about everything!

Hired Movers 201 with 4 movers and a truck. At the time of contacting I requested that movers use shoe covers while moving in furniture to newly carpeted new house. Amir promised that they will do so. However, they did not have shoe covers. Movers said they were not told by Amir to do so. After calling Amir, he said (or lied) that he gave them shoe covers. However, no one could locate it. Finally they covered their shoes with plastic wrappers. Secondly, they did not take care of my stuff while moving. I have cracks and scratches in my furniture and other stuff that I clearly told them as delicate. I did not contact them with this concern as Amir yelled at me when I took out my frustration regarding shoe covers. Would highly recommend them if you want to waste your money and break your stuff.

I’m surprised at the negative reviews here — I had a fantastic move with Movers 201!
Movers201 helped me move last Friday, and I can honestly say it was the smoothest moving experience I’ve ever had — and I’ve moved many times in my life. I would definitely use Movers201 again, and I would recommend them to my friends.
Jess provided me with an estimate over the phone, and stated that for local moves, it is $ 139 per hour all-​inclusive. Although some may think that is high compared to other estimates, Jess provided free wardrobe boxes, so I didn’t have to pack any of my clothes, he also provided all the equipment needed needed, e.g. extra padding for the TV, furniture, extra boxes, and tape in order to get the job done. Three guys came over on time, they were completely professional and courteous, and used attention to detail in their move. By the time we got to my new place, I was able to just relax with a bottle of wine and some friends while they moved everything in, and assembled the furniture.
Although the move took a little longer than estimated, I think I had some last minute requests which made the process longer. The only minor things that happened was a few pins were lost for the bookcase, and the base of my fan was broken. It wasn’t a big deal, but what was important was how they resolved the situation. Jess the owner went to buy screws for the bookcase, and brought over superglue to fix my fan. He came over himself to does this, make sure that I was completely satisfied with the move. I have moved so many times to know that even if you have amazing movers, sometimes a thing or two may get broken. However, I was very satisfied and impressed with how he resolved the issue.
Thank you Jess, Pablo, Jimmy, and Pierre, for making my move much easier!

Truly deserving of a 5-​star rating! I contacted Movers 201 to schedule a moving estimate, and was given a comprehensive, accurate moving estimate in my home by the business owner, Amir Even-​Ezra. As I was pleased with his estimate and several reviews that I had read about Movers 201, I immediately booked them for my move on ⁴⁄₂₇ of this year from an apartment to a Townhouse. Amir’s foreman, Tony, and his workers arrived early and worked diligently and tirelessly throughout the morning to disassemble and protect my furniture from any damage. Upon arriving to my new townhouse, they unloaded just as quickly as they packed the truck and loved that they took care as to not damage the walls or any of the finishes that had just been painted in my new home. They expertly reassembled all of my furniture, exactly as it was before the move, and I am beyond excited to say that not one piece of furniture, glass, etc. was damaged or broken while under the care of Movers 201. Moving, to be honest with you, stinks… But Movers 201 made the experience so much more pleasant! I hope I don’t need to move again anytime soon, but if I do, my first phone call will be to Amir and Movers 201! Of note: my Aunt and sister both needed movers, as well in the weeks after my move and both booked with Movers 201!!!

Horrible experience

This was by far the best moving experience of my life, and I’ve moved A LOT. Amir was punctual and professional and explained everything in advance during the free in-​home estimate. His was by far the most affordable quote so I went with him.
I moved from NJ to Baltimore, MD:
On the first day, for packing and loading the truck, the guys arrived EXACTLY on time even after having stopped outside to help my friends load their car outside. They worked extremely diligently and didn’t break or damage a thing. Amir’s estimate for packing supplies was within TEN DOLLARS!!! I thought that was amazing and yet I wasn’t stressed anyway because he had explained his policy that I could only be charged a maximum of ten percent over his estimate. The guys were extremely polite, professional and accommodating. They even showed me how some damage had been made to my couch with prior moves due to inexpert handling.
On day 2 they again arrived in extraordinarily punctual fashion, even in spite of an interstate move and inclement weather. They assembled everything perfectly and went above and beyond in helping me get everything set up. I was even able to do a lot of unpacking as we went and they were kind enough to haul the empty boxes for me.
I cannot recommend Movers 201 more highly, they have my full endorsement. Shout out to Tony, Danny, Sacco and Lorenzo.

We used Movers 201 for a cross-​country move from NJ. Their estimate was lower than the big-​name interstate moving lines, and they were licensed to move interstate, so we decided to take the chance. Amir provided the initial estimate, and it was well within our budget. The documents and additional information provided along with the estimate were quite detailed so there would be no open questions later during the move.
On the day of the move, Jess came with 4 others and started moving our boxes and packing the electronics and furniture quickly. When it was time to load the truck and measure, the estimate came higher than the maximum that Amir had provided. After discussing the reasons why this was (supposedly more boxes than estimated), Jess agreed to try and rearrange the boxes in the interstate truck so that it came close to the original estimate.
Movers 201 held on to our stuff while we found and leased a place in AZ, and after a couple of phone calls to confirm the ETA, the truck arrived. Since the move-​in place was a gated community, navigating an 18-​wheeler inside it would have been tough, and the contract clearly stated the additional charges for using a shuttle truck. The truck driver came along with two locals, somehow managed to reverse the 18-​wheeler inside 200 feet, and they moved our stuff up the flight of stairs without any damages. The move-​in could have been faster with an additional person and maybe one local with more unpacking/​assembly experience.
Overall I was happy with using Movers 201, since there were no hassles negotiating the rate at delivery, after the initial estimate vs. actual negotiation. My items arrived undamaged, despite being transferred between two trucks and being in storage. I’m taking one star off for the wide variance in the estimate and for some nervous moments at the destination when I was not sure if the two local youth with minimal moving experience could handle my heavy items.

Movers 201 are excellent! I recently hired them to move some furniture and boxes out of my house into another relatives house — and to move some furniture internally within the house. I paid by the hour for 3 men and a truck. They worked VERY QUICKLY and efficiently. They were very professional in everything they did. They wrapped all my furniture (Beds, dressers, couches) so that neither the furniture nor the walls in the house would be damaged. I had a few loose lamps that I asked them to transport — and they insisted on keeping them safe by packing them in boxes. The 3 men were also a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend using Movers 201.

Movers201 is the real deal family owned/​run moving company! I searched high & low for an honest company to do a long-​distance move June 2014 from NJ to IN. I had an in home estimate from 3 other companies who quoted me an astronomical price for the (small) move & kept adding on more fees without explanation. A friend of mine used Movers201 for her move in April 2014 & was pleased, so I emailed them & was not disappointed. My move turned out to be a complicated one.
From day one Amir came to my home for an estimate, was friendly & up front with a quote I could afford. He was honest & NEVER said there was something they COULD NOT DO! My move was just over a small load & other movers tried to push using 2 trucks & charging me twice. Not Movers201, they gave me an honest estimate & stuck to the price. They showed up on time & packed my items quickly & with care, Unfortunately while my belongings were in route I traveled to IN to check on the property I would be staying at only to find out that the conditions were uninhabitable (rats, bugs & no running water! I learned my lesson in trusting «FAMILY» to assist me) I was immediately in a panic, I called Amir & told him the situation & he put me at ease, quoted me a reasonable extra fee to have the driver who was in Chicago bring my belongings back to NJ. I was thrilled. No one likes to re-​trace their steps, but this was a situation that could not be avoided. I sincerely want to thank Movers201 for working with me especially through unforeseen circumstances! I want to thank everyone I can remember Jess, Amir, Tony, Anthony, Richie & anyone else I failed to remember. I will definitely be using Movers201 for my next «LOCAL» move. I can’t praise them enough for their professionalism, promptness & friendly attitudes! Movers201 saved the day!

We moved from Bergen County to the west coast and had an excellent experience with Movers 201 Inc. from start to finish.
Amir’s initial visit, communicating with both Amir and Jess, and scheduling the move were easy. The price was fair, and a much better rate than another company had presented to us. Jess and the movers showed up at the promised date and time. The men did a good job at both ends. One end table was broken in transit and Amir refunded us the full cost of the repair, for which we are grateful.
We wholeheartedly recommend Movers 201 as professional, pleasant, efficient, and fairly priced. Thank you Amir!

Wonderful experience!!! They came on time and professionally wrapped, removed, and delivered my items. Highly recommended!!!

I was really very happy with my recent move with Movers 201. Scheduling the estimate was a bit difficult, but Amir (owner) couldn’t have been nicer when he showed up.
Their estimate was about 30% lower than other companies. I was being charged for ½ hour travel and $ 129 per hour, which included everything — 3 guys, a truck, wrapping, padding, use of wardrobe boxes the day of the move, etc. The other companies I consulted with charged at least 1 hour travel and $ 150 per hour, and none of them offered the use of free wardrobe boxes. My ultimate charge was about 1 hour more than the estimate, but I wasn’t quite as prepared as I should have been, and the new place has lots of stairs.
The day of the move, the guys were about 40 minutes early. They were professional and efficient, and so sweet and likeable! They wrapped everything so carefully. I was comfortable with all 3 guys and trusted that my belongings were in good hands.
My parents have already said that they’ll be hiring them when they sell their house. I felt good about hiring a local business that’s family run as well. I highly recommend them!

Update on my previous review–
Amir contacted me and promptly setup an appointment. He got the issue fixed. I have asked him to be very clear about the extra travel charge while talking to future customers. Overall I have a better opinion of 201 movers after they fixed my couch issue today.

To start off… I would consider myself fairly critical when it comes to reviews, so please consider this 4 star rating as the real deal!
We booked with Movers 201 because we were desperate and had no other options (Not because we didn’t plan ahead, but because the closing on our house was postponed!). Although we were a bit alarmed with their lousy reviews, they seemed comprehensive on the phone. We booked through Jess who explained the process and immediately emailed me a quote for the services. Overall, they are reasonable, with an hourly rate of $ 139. Jess also explained they come prepared with extra boxes, tape, wardrobes, and packing blankets.
The morning of the move, they showed up nearly 30 minutes late. That was the only negative of the experience. They quickly adjusted the start date on the paperwork to correspond with the true start time. There were three men who really hustled. They were very careful with all boxes and furniture. In fact, I had to tell them to be LESS careful on a few garage sale pieces, since I didn’t want to waste time on carefully wrapping it in protective blankets! Each item was very protected and flawlessly moved.
The travel time to the new house was fair and it was clear they didn’t stop along the way. The men immediately got to work unloading the materials. They didn’t chat or goof off throughout the process and stayed focused. It was about 85 degrees on our moving day, and I didn’t hear anyone complain.
I tipped each mover $ 40 at the end of the day since I thought they deserved it. They didn’t stop for lunch and just plowed through the job. Overall, I feel the low ratings are unwarranted. In the end, they moved all of our belongings without an issue and at a reasonable price… so what more can you ask for!

sorry to see the bad review… we had a completely different experience??? Movers showed up right on time. We received an estimate prior to their arrival that specified there was a 3 hour minimum. They came in and immediately started wrapping and taping everything safely into blankets. They moved efficiently and had the whole apartment cleaned out in just over an hour. They then dropped everything safely at our new house and removed all of the packing supplies! Very courteous and professional… The cost was exactly what they quoted! I would certainly recommend them!

Update…
They tried to bribe me to take my review down.
=======
This business has multiple complaints from Better Business Bureau.
You will hardly ever see this many complaints for a business.
They are not accredited by them either.
Unilocal does not allow zero stars.
This is the only place I would give zero stars.
Stay away at all cost.
Someone keeps deleting all reviews.
That alone is extremely Shady.
Read all the warnings that have been filtered.
They quoted me $ 400, and then charged me almost double
I was provided with an «estimate». So I don’t get a fixed rate.
It’s a way for them to charge you whatever they want.
As you can see from the comment from the owner he has confirmed my above statement.
You should never ever hire a mover who comes over to your home and gives you a non_​binding estimate.
The reason why someone comes is so they give you a fixed estimate.
They came in a renter’s truck with their sticker on.
That should have been a warning.
It took an hour to drive 1 mile in the same town to which I moved. I live in the suburbs.
There was absolutely no traffic. And they charged me for this.
The worst part is that because they do it on your moving day so you’re stuck with bad service and ridiculously exorbitant fees.
I would not trust them.

I called Movers201 for an estimate a couple days before my move.
I was on a tight budget and asked for someone to come out to my apartment to look things over to get an exact estimate which they did the day before my move.
Got the same estimate as I did over the phone ($ 300), the guy said it shouldn’t take no longer than 2 hours because I didn’t have much but because of the 3 hour minimum at $ 95hr, $ 300 was the final price.
Come moving day, absolutely horrible!
They DO NOT own their own moving truck, a rental truck came for my move.
2 movers arrived but only 1 did all the heavy lifting, the other mover wasn’t much help, he stood around smoked a lot pretty much on my dime and cussed during the entire move about how crappy moving was.
During my initial estimate when someone came out, he told me that all my furniture would be wrapped, along with the mattress in plastic for sanitary reasons, which I preferred. But during my move, the 2 movers overlooked it and just did it halfway, and my mattress was NOT wrapped in plastic, nothing in fact! Thank goodness I didn’t take off the sheets just for that reason just in case they didn’t or else it would’ve gotten dirty.
They could not get the couch down the staircase (2 friends and I were able to get it up without a scratch), they pushed and shoved and after finally of thirty minutes of trying, they finally took off the legs of the couch.
After they got it down, the entire staircase wall had bits and pieces of my couch and dented/​scratched the walls.
Before they carried my glass television stand, I informed them all the glass comes apart for easier moving. They simply ignored it and tried to go down until the glass hit the banister and almost broke it.
From point A to point B took 10 minutes.
Loading took an hour but unloading took 3 hours!
And that’s with the help of my boyfriend who loaded and unloaded and sweated up a storm to help the movers move along faster.
I felt as though they took their sweet time in unloading to get more money.
Ended up paying $ 400 for 4 hours when I was told it should take no more than two.
And after they left and I started unpacking my things, I found out my vases broke, I was missing some items and certain items that I boxed up had been opened because I found branches and tree leaves in those boxes.
My couch got mangled, desks, tables, chairs, lamps etc all got scratched.
I could’ve just rented a Uhaul truck and paid people off the street and done a better move and it wouldn’t have cost $ 400 nor would my items have been damaged.
If you value your items, go with someone else. They do not care about your things, only $$$
Hands down the WORST MOVERS I’ve ever encountered.
