Move-it 4 Less

I have been using Petros and his team to move all over New York for years. They are the best in every way, price, reliability, professionalism and speed. Moving can be a nightmare but these guys take all the stress out of it and make it easy. I have recommended him to many of my friends and they have all been very happy. Don’t over think it, call him, book it. I have used him 6 or 7 times and at least 5 of my friends have as well. 5 stars all around!

I recently moved between apartments. I was a little nervous since I’ve never made this kind of move before on short notice, but I was super satisfied with these guys. I had queen mattress, a giant queen sized loft bed frame, a full bed and frame, a medium sized couch, big TV and stand, a big cabinet, and a bunch of smaller items and boxes.
3 guys and a big truck showed up at 8 am sharp and had all the furniture wrapped up and on the truck after an hour. I knew that would be the easy part. My new apartment was a 4 story walk up with steep narrow stairs and sharp narrow corners. I honestly wasn’t sure if my loft bed frame and couch would be able to maneuver around. These guys were in beast mode and managed it somehow, and they did it fast. All-​in-​all, it took 3 hours from start to finish to get everything in the new apartment, undamaged.
I’ll definitely be looking into these guys again for future moves.

I hired these guys to move a couch that I bought for my mom from Chelsea to the UWS. They were great! Courteous, polite, careful, and professional, they even had to carry the couch up six flights of stairs because it didnt fit into the elevator! Very reasonable rates as well. I’m about to hire them again to move another couch from Queens!

Very poor experience. Lots of bait and switches. 7.5 hrs to move a quarter of a mile away is unacceptable
Issue 1:
The week before, I had clearly requested a big truck for my move, since I wanted to get all of my stuff moved in one trip. Instead, Petros (the owner) sends a significantly smaller van on the day of the move that would require 3 trips (and take much more time). He claims that the issue is about parking, though in talking with his guys, I find out that the issue was that he just didn’t want to pony up for the large truck.
He tries to cover his mistake by offering to provide me 2 extra guys for a discounted rate of $ 15/​hr per person. I find out from the movers that his cost is $ 10/​hr for each extra person, so he not only tries to cover his mistake, he hopes to make a profit on it!
About 5 hours into the job, they finally bring a larger truck in (as it finished another move early). If it was truly a parking issue from the beginning as he claimed, Petros wouldnt’ve brought the larger truck in. By this time, the larger truck was marginally helpful.
Issue 2:
I also had explicitly asked for a wardrobe box so I could move my clothes. Petros says that it’ll be on the truck, no problem. When the truck comes, that box isn’t on there, though Petros claims it absolutely is. We go back and forth and I verify myself that the wardrobe box isn’t on there. Great… even more waste of time now.
Ultimately, the operation is awful. While they were recommended to me by a colleague, I’ll never consider using them again given how many times Petros promised one thing and gave me another. These baits and switches cost a lot as the move dragged on for many hours more than it should’ve.

These guys were ABOSOLUTELY AMAZING and WONDERFUL. Super helpful and very quick and EFFICIENT… I will certainly use these guys in the future…

TERRIBLE CHEATERS DISHONEST people. I trusted them to move my stuff when I was out of town and I could not supervise them do the work. They deliberately took hours to move my stuff 8 streets down as they bill per the hour. They charged 2 hours of traffic on their bill for moving stuff 8 streets down! And also, they charged me $ 60 dollars for carrying up a wardrobe they argued did not fit in my elevator ($ 10 for each flight up) and I just discovered the wardrobe easily fits in the elevator. Also, they had said they would dissassemble furniture and reassemble it if necessary, and they DID NOT. DO NOT USE THEM. I ended up paying at least twice or more than what someone else would have charged me.

My suggestion is to avoid this company.
Here is my experience. I asked to move a couch a large reclining chair and several boxes from a spare room in our place to make room for our new little one on the way. We got a quote and scheduled the move for Saturday morning.
They called to confirm the move earlier today and I called them back this evening. They negotiated to use a third mover instead of two and I agreed. I then followed up to ask if they were insured so we were sure they’d be careful not to damage the building. He said there is no formal insurance offered and it would require a signature from the building management company that they cant get on a Friday.
Then he calls me back tonight to tell me they didn’t expect ‘that kind of job’ and they can’t do the move.
They demonstrated no willingness whatsoever to even attempt to demonstrate pride or quality in their work or their movers for a small simple job. It’s frightening to think if we had trusted them for a larger move.
Not recommended.

I would highly highly recommend Move it 4 Less as your moving company.
We moved from Washington Heights to Inwood.
I felt so bad because it was a 3 story walk-​up but they were fine with it. Elvis, Rubin, David and Danny were amazing.
They were on time, efficient and everything arrived in one piece.
The price was very very good also.
We had a problem where we couldn’t get into our apartment, so they were nice enough to store our things over night in their truck.
If ever I were to move again I would defiantly hire Move it 4 Less.
Satisfied Customer
Thanks again guys. :)

My boyfriend and I had to move last minute and they were really flexible with their availability. We actually had to change our moving date a few days beforehand because of a parking ban on our street but they accommodated our schedule. We had two movers and they were both really knowledgeable. We still had some last minute packing to do and they were a huge help, packing the boxes quicker and better than we could have. The only mishaps were a broken glass and some spilled baking supplies, but both of those were in boxes that my boyfriend and I had packed (not very well). The whole move including labor, truck, extra boxes and packing material, and tip was around $ 500 for four hours for a one bedroom apartment.

There are lots of moving companies in New York, so there’s no reason to have to use this one.
The three movers showed up an hour and twenty minutes late. It took them fourteen hours to move two bedrooms and a small living room within Manhattan, which required two trips since they brought the wrong sized truck. (They had quoted seven hours, which was supposed to also include a trip to pick up items from a storage location. We never made it that far.)
The movers were slow and inefficient — I even took a video of them from my balcony as they stood around their truck not working. They were lazy with wrapping up furniture and instead of carrying our mattresses they used two people to drag them through the street. At the end of the move I found they had scraped my bed frame, chipped the corner of a dining table, and put a hole in my box spring. The elevators in my building were also being used by some other people which caused some delays, but the movers just sat around on our furniture for 30 minutes (twice) before letting us know. We informed the front desk and they sent the elevator right away.
By the time we got to the destination location we had missed our reserved window for using that moving elevator, so the movers sat in their truck for another hour before we could use it again. I began moving things in myself, and probably carried as much as any of the movers did. After taking another trip to retrieve the remaining items from the old apartment, we finally finished at 12:30 AM.
The move was being paid at a rate of $ 100 per hour, but instead of charging us $ 1400 (and tacking on a $ 120 parking ticket) I think the boss, Petros, realized the move was a disaster and charged us $ 900, which was nice but was STILL $ 200 more than the estimate AND they never moved the items from storage.
Well, Petros was nice enough to offer to do the storage move for free, but unfortunately the storage location was not open at midnight. He said we could do the storage move another time at a discount, and when we called he gave us his «discounted» price of $ 475. Instead of dealing with Move-​it 4 Less any further we called someone else who finished the move for $ 240.
