2 Young Studs Moving

Chris very good to deal with…
Moving soon continue full review in few days
Price sounds great too

Alex and James did a fantastic job moving me into my new place. The move was quick and efficient. No walls or furniture was damaged. Nice bunch a guys too. Made my move super easy!

The moving company was recommended to me by a friend and I was not disappointed! The guys were on time, and called me to let me know when they were twenty minutes away. They worked hard and efficiently for two hours moving furniture down three flights of stairs. I am very happy with the job they did. Thank you!!!

Here’s the deal — these guys are filling a need in the marketplace for something short of a professional moving company (and the costs associated with them). As long as you understand that going in, you are a little more likely to not be disappointed.
That said, there are a number of ways in which this service falls short. First and foremost, as mentioned by many others, I simply couldn’t reach anyone by phone or get a reply to an email with a simple question I had after I made the booking. The question required a yes or no answer — I understand you are busy, but really, you can’t take 10 seconds to reply «yes» or «no»?
The day of the move I was finally contacted — to be asked if they could come two hours later than scheduled (we grudgingly agreed).
On the positive side, the young studs were nice fellows and did a decent job. I say decent because they clearly aren’t professional movers. They brought no equipment whatsoever, so while it wasn’t essential to our move, it might have helped them out. They had a heck of a time moving our sofa, removing a plastic cover we had placed on it which they felt was hindering them, and then having to put it down on its side at one point outside our residence, which wasn’t exactly great. They also left some scratches on a door. But, they had a good attitude, worked fairly quickly, and didn’t break anything.
Also as mentioned by some others, the payment system is not explained well. You pay a deposit through Paypal, but then you have to pay the balance via cash or check to the studs. To make matters worse, there was some confusion about whether the deposit should be deducted from the total balance or not and the studs had to place a few calls to find out. Also, when I booked online, it clearly said the «transportation fee», the $ 40 or so to cover their transit to your location, would be waived, but no such thing happened for us. Due to «moving fatigue», I decided not to argue about it.
I am also not crazy about their booking system. They use a Google calendar to show availability, which seems a bit low-​tech, but moreso, they list your first name and town on this public calendar. Maybe not the biggest deal in the world, especially if you’re «John from New Haven» or something fairly anonymous, but I don’t necessarily want my personal business out there for people to see.
So overall, I’d say this — if you’ve got a smaller move and you don’t have very high value furniture and other belongings, and you just want some muscle to save yourself some effort, Studs Moving is a decent solution. On the other hand, if you’ve got a sizable move (especially if you’re moving appliances and/​or bulky items), better quality furnishings, or are on a time-​sensitive move, I don’t think this is the right service for you. If the business side of this operation was stronger, I would feel better about recommending it.

I’ve used 2 Young Studs moving for 3 moves (locally and from state to state). Their service is always exceptional. Chris and his team are professional, polite, and they work efficiently and effectively. Their pricing is unbeatable. I would highly recommend them for your next move!

We were very happy with our movers, Andrew and Tony. They were friendly, strong, and efficient. My fiancé and I worked alongside them (although we left the truck packing to them) so our move ended up being much faster and cheaper than predicted. We’d definitely recommend them in the future. One thing that would have been nice to know ahead of time is that the deposit is paid with credit card or PayPal; however you need cash or checks to pay the movers at the end. Since people presumably have everything packed, it is not always easy to have those things on hand. Another interesting note is that Chris, the coordinator, said to let him know if we were running late since we were also in the process of moving items from Delaware that day. It was great that they were willing to be flexible. However when we tried to call, there was consistently no answer and the voice mail box was full, so we couldn’t do anything except call again. We ended up calling 5 times (every 10 minutes) trying to reach him. It would be great if they deleted some of those messages in the future so customers can at least leave a message. Overall we were satisfied with the service though.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I am overwhelmingly impressed!
Another mover cancelled on me this morning. I called Two Young Studs movers to move my business from a second floor business in Wallingford to Cheshire. I was told they would be there by 1:00. At about 1:30 Chris called to say they were running late but they would be at my shop to move me today, not to worry. Chris kept in touch with me until about 4:30 when they arrived. 2 studs in a truck. They were smart and figured out how to move the heavy tables and display cases using the least amount of effort possible.
As it was already getting late. They called in backups. 2 more studs came in another truck and they all moved fast, they were nice, conscientious and careful. I cannot say enough good things about the 4 guys. They were all smart and personable. Not big hulking muscly gym rats. These guys were all clean cut, lean efficient guys.
Not only that, but the last minute job (same day as booking) with 2 trucks and 4 dudes came in $ 300 less than I was quoted by the mover who bailed in the morning! HAPPY CUSTOMER!

I moved from New Haven to NYC yesterday. My panic of hiring movers at the last minute subsided when my requested day was available with this company. The two movers, Jack and Brian, showed up on time at 7am and we’re super quick, yet very careful with my fragile items. They were very professional and organized. They worked smart, moving everything in a certain order that made the most sense. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone moving that wants quality service.

These guys were great. They started out coming to just a move but I had so much to do that I asked Ryan and Brendan to get done for me, numerous stops, pick ups and drop offs, and these kids didn’t flinch a bit. Polite and courteous to me, my lady and all our bad as kids running around. Nothing broke, scratched, dinged, or got left behind. I plan on using them again in the future and will definitely recommend them to all my friends and family.

I had heard of bad experiences from friends but was in a pinch on a Sunday afternoon needing a Monday AM move, and 2 Young Studs delivered. My movers, Joe and Tyler, were terrific. They were fast, friendly, solicitous of anything else they could help with, and they even volunteered to see if they could get all of my belongings into one storage unit instead of two, which they succeeded in doing, saving me the money of having to rent two storage units! This was not a complex move (just from my third floor apartment to the basement), but they were nonetheless really good and I would recommended these two again to anyone.

A great company to work with! Very organized, timely, professional, and courteous! I would highly recommend this moving company. Price was excellent!!!

I’ve used this moving company 3 times, and had excellent movers each time. I rented a van for my one bedroom and the van was packed in under two hours. Very efficient and friendly service from the movers. I was entirely pleased the first two times and had no question going back a third time. The third time, there was a delay outside of control of the owner, and he responded to my concerns very courteously. I would definitely use this company again if I ever need movers in CT.

Stay away! for the love of God! All of these positive reviews must be friends or family members. This company is scary.
This was by far, one of the worst moving experiences of my life (and I have moved over 10 times). I don’t ask for a lot from movers but this was ridiculous. I hired 3 movers to move our 3 bed house. Of course we pay by the hour so they were taking their sweet time. I moved nearly the same amount of furniture 1 year ago with 2 movers and it took a total of 4 hours. This group of 3 studs took 6 hours. Here are my complaints:
Firstly, it was the first move of the day, scheduled to arrive at 7am, but the movers did not get there until 7:45. After the painfully slow load, they drove their truck to our new location and got «lost on the way». We drove out of the old house 10 minutes after they left and got to the destination over 20 minutes before them. It was 2 miles away! how does it take 30 minutes to drive 2 miles. Then, we found 2 broken bookshelves, a dropped and broken ping-​pong table and a broken desk (several hundred dollars to replace). On top of all of this, the movers put large gashes on the wall of our previous house leaving our old landlord furious and threatening to bill us for the repairs. THEN, I called the manager (Chris) to inform him of my displeasure. He proceeds to call me a liar and insults my wife and then hangs up the phone on me. I politely call back stating «the line must have dropped» and he said, «no, I hung up on you! I don’t want to deal with liars and hung up again». He would not even talk with me! So he told his men to grab all our furniture put it back in the truck and take it back to our old house and dump it in the front yard. Who does that! The owner said he would refund us our deposit (which of course he never did). We had to bribe the movers (600 $) to have them finish the job. And then we had to buy new furniture and pay to get repairs of the wall damage. All in all, we lost over a thousand dollars on a 2 mile move, got insulted and mistreated and had to rely on bribes to get our furniture back. I am filing a complaint on BBB. Do your self a favor and hire a real company that values the customers.

The guys overall good very good job with the move and are extremely polite and courteous. I would probably give it 4 ½ star as was one minor scratch during The move and they do not accept credit cards, which is a bit of a hassle and I was not informed so previously. Overall It’s was very positive and several of the furniture pieces were admittedly very hard heavy and tricky to move, but they did it and were extremely polite during the process.

These folks are great. And when there’s something they can’t do (rarely the case), they usually hook you up in some other way. Everyone I know who’s also used them has been very satisfied.
Undoubtedly, the best moving company in Connecticut.

So far so GREAT! I have moved a few times before this most recent move with other companies and always felt that the people moving me hated me for making them do it and felt guilty and uncomfortable. Not 2 Young Studs. The two gentleman that moved me this past weekend were friendly, kind and super efficient. I am also using there «pod» for storage for the next few weeks at a reasonable price. I was very impressed with the service so far and hope it all goes well when I finally settled down.

If you have anything of any value at all, do not book these movers.
They are VERY inexperienced, and damaged a number of my pieces.
They did not even bring packaging tape or a screwdriver and had to use my stuff.
They took all day because they couldn’t figure out how to fit things into their truck.
The guys were very nice, and Chris ended up taking $ 100 off my total cost bc of their inefficiencies, but unless you are moving cheap stuff out of a dorm DO NOT USE THEM.
The guys were nice though.

We used this service about a year and a half ago. The actual workers were hard working guys but the business is disorganized and poorly managed which led to a terrible experience. There was a mix-​up with the move date which was partly my fault and for which I took some responsibility. However, the owner was not easy to communicate with which led to a break down in communication. And if he had called the evening before sending out the workers as he stated he would, the mix-​up would have been averted. When we cleared things up I was not told that movers would be double-​booked and that we would not get the complete service we were paying for (one of the movers was called away half-​way through and I ended up helping the remaining guy). Had we known this we would not have booked them. After the move, when I brought this to the owner’s (Chris) attention, my comment was received with shockingly unprofessional offensive comments as he yelled at me and blamed me for the poor service we received.
Although the movers themselves were nice and respectful, our overall experience with the company was very unpleasant. I would recommend paying a bit more for a more professional and organized service.

I just moved with these awesome studs, and not only was their price for an interstate move totally reasonable, but they were professional, super nice, and amazingly fast! I totally didn’t believe them when they quoted the price and the time, but they were dead on and so helpful– they truly went above and beyond setting up my beds and even giving some interior design advice ;)
I have never had movers that I trusted inherently, and were totally regular guys… I have referred all of my friends that are moving to them and it totally makes me excited to move again (kidding) but they are AWESOME!

I had a great moving experience with 2 Young Studs. I hired a 2-​stud crew to help load a U-​Haul truck for a 1-​BR apartment move from New Haven to Philly. The 2 movers were not only on time – they were early (and kindly called first to ask if it was okay to arrive early)! They were efficient, careful even with my Ikea furniture, friendly, and polite. They worked hard, finished early, and did a fabulous job. It couldn’t have gone more smoothly.
It was also a piece of cake to schedule the actual move. Chris, the owner, was responsive to both phone calls and email, and he even had a calendar set up through the website so you could confirm that you were on the schedule.
Overall, a great moving experience. I would highly recommend them.
