Verrazano Moving & Storage

I just used this company to move our one bedroom apartment and felt these movers did a mediocre job. The person who we (my husband & myself) spoke to originally, promised they would call us back to confirm our appointment which they never did. When we tried to be proactive by calling the day before the move, no one answered the phone.
The day of the move, the guys showed up almost an hour and a half late. They did call to let us know, however, I think if you make an appointment for a certain time you should honor it. We had a one bedroom apartment in Brooklyn so it wasn’t like we were moving an entire house but somehow it took about seven and a half hours to move everything to an apartment about 15 minutes away.
The guys seemed to work hard but broke a few of our things and dented a bookcase. I understand these things happen but I guess I was really hoping it wouldn’t since the move took a long time.
Another thing I’d like to quickly add. Once we were moving into our new place, I overheard the movers arguing with each other in front of the house. I’m not really sure what was going on but it shouldn’t have happened while they are working. It just makes them seem incompetent.
Overall, they did the basics by getting our things from point A to point B, but they weren’t the most professional people around.

I just had a phenomenal experience with this company today. Soup to nuts it was smooth sailing from Staten Island to Cape Cod. They arrived 10 mins early and carefully packed up my a 2 br home’s worth of furniture… couch tv console end tables coffee table bed dresser dining set… you name it… and 56 boxes of stuff in an hour. One hour. All with a smile and kind friendly attitude. 6 hrs later all delivered safe and sound in Cape Cod. Absolutely satisfied with these movers and the price. Scott, Will, Carmine and Steve THANK YOU!

Tried using these movers when my husband and I were moving. Let me just say that there is no way this place can actually be a real business. They don’t return phone calls, they quote you a different price in person, then they send a totally different price handwritten on a piece of paper in the mail 2 weeks later. Paper was not only illegible but it had things on it that I never asked to be moved. It was like they wanted you to beg them to move your stuff. Had to contact them 4 times before I actually got someone to my house to even give the quote. Horrible, thank goodness I used a different company.

AVOID (aka Father & Son) these knuckle heads destroyed some of my furniture. Stole personal property I had entrusted them to package and deliver. Miss labeled boxes and inventory lists. Over mark items on inventory lists as being previous damaged, marked, etc. All with chicken scratch that is hard to read, but if you don’t pay attention it costs you big time on the end game with these idiots.
Hey VZ Moving/​Father & Sons — You guys suck!
PS — Wish I could give less than one star.

I have moved many times in my life in various parts of the country and have never encountered such horrible service. My mother and her husband were moving stuff from his place in Brooklyn down to their home in South Carolina. I helped them try to find competent movers for a good price.
Verrazano Moving (also known as Father & Son) said that they would move their stuff at a flat rate $ 61 per 100 lbs. We booked the move through John about 2 weeks ago and the move was scheduled for yesterday, June 29^th between 11 – 2 pm. My mom and her husband (who is currently in a wheelchair) waited in the house with no air conditioning and the mover never arrived. She called to see what happened and they said they would be there between 4 – 6 pm that same day. They never showed up. We called again and they said the would 100% come today (June 30^th) between 9 – 11 am.
We called at 9 am to confirm (again) that they would be coming. We spoke to Sean who was the nastiest person I have ever encountered. Sean told my mother that «SHE picked the busiest day of the month to move.» Meanwhile, we actually were quite flexible on the move-​date and it was scheduled for yesterday, not today. My mom asked if they would 100% be arriving in the next two hours, his response «Well, you know, nothing in life is guaranteed. I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.» I kid you not, that is what he said.
My mom responded that they were waiting in a hot house with two kids and her husband was in a wheelchair. Sean’s response: «everyone has a sob story.»
This place must be making hand over fist if they think it okay to treat people this way. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!
So, my mom waited until 4 pm and prayed they would show up. They did not. She ended up renting a U-​Haul, packing it up herself, and driving it down to South Carolina. I’m seriously considering filling a small claims action against this company.
