I have moved a few times in my life and this was by far the easiest and smoothest move I've ever done. Simply moving is hands down the best moving company out there. Very responsive, respectful with your furniture, they give you a quote and stick by it, they are flexible if you need to move the date or change the load. It's been a real pleasure dealing with these guys. They were friendly and accommodating and I'm looking forward to using them again when I move to my permanent destination very soon. Thank you so much for everything.

BEST movers in the industry. My siblings had used their services years ago and most recently in February, I had my second personal move with them. You'd think the customer service couldn't get better but the entire team from getting the quote, scheduling pick up, and the actual move, every individual was 10000% polite, efficient and amazing. Easily the most affordable company.
In terms of my actual move, I was scheduled for a 9AM move. My movers called me at 8:30AM and said they were at site and will wait for 9am to begin the move unless I wanted to start immediately. It was SO amazing to have movers who were thoughtful and flexible to whatever I preferred. The last time I moved back in 2017, they actually beat me to my storage unit. These folks are ALWAYS timely. Clearly I highly recommend because I truly don't think they'd disappoint for anyone else

Best moving experience I've ever had. The team was thoughtful with questions about our moving preferences with furniture. They were extremely efficient. We were so grateful for how cautious they were with our fragile belongings. They went above and beyond, so I would refer and use them again one day.

Very satisfied with the moving job and personnel. However, they seemed to be uninformed about the size and nature of the items to be moved from my storage unit to my home (mostly artworks as well as cartons of other materials). I was never asked to describe the items when booking the job.only the size of my storage unit. I would strongly urge a better advance communication system so that they are better prepared.

Simply Moving managed to break the majority of the items we asked them to move across the country. They were criminally irresponsible and hardly protected things at all (delicate antique wooden shelves were crushed, oil paintings were cut opened with slash marks.?) They could not have done a worse job. And they have not made moves to make good on the damages. I would not recommend this business to anyone.

This is the second time I have used Simply Moving for a local love (Bronx to Harlem) and both times I have been really impressed. The office staff is efficient and professional, and booking them was a breeze, even when I had to make a change to the contents that I was moving. The price was very reasonable. The movers (Victor and Angel) called me the day of the move to give me an ETA, and then called again to apologize when they were stuck in traffic and had to change the ETA. I highly recommend them.

The moving crew managed two day move from Ct to Maryland with efficiency, items carefully wrapped and handled. However, after telling me truck was double checked and empty, a valued item was missing. The office manager, claims and effort to recover our item was a fiasco. Office staff is rude, unprofessional and did not honor timetable or follow up.
The story of missing item changed many times, but theft is suspected, therefore as good as Miguel and his truck crews were, I cannot recommend this company. The administration is a disaster when there is a glitch. Once located, the claims and office mgr don't insure the item for value to ship it to us, or photograph as specifically requested to assess any damage. The staff isn't cooperative or competent with problems. Hope your move is smooth, the truck crew is great- anything else is problematic.

This is a super frustrating review to write. I've used Simply Moving twice and the first time had no issues. It went so well that I booked them for my next move two years later. I hired them to pack and move everything from my one bedroom apartment to another apartment about 5 blocks away. This time they damaged several pieces of furniture (including a custom built, solid wood dresser that will cost $1000 to replace), broke many dishes, and generally packed things so poorly that it was almost as if the movers had never done this before.
First I found a leaking box which turned out to be a half empty box of toiletries that were just thrown into a box with no packing material or organization whatsoever. Multiple containers were packed upside down and leaked all over everything inside the box. That was a fun hour of cleaning. Next I opened two nearly empty boxes. One had a single face mask wrapped in loads of packing paper - that's it.
A medium sized box for a single face mask. The next box had two tiny items inside - again, loads and loads of paper but not much else. After another hour or so I started removing the items they had put on top of my dresser and noticed the enormous gouges and irreparable damage. It was clear that someone had put the dresser top down and dragged it off the edge of the truck or on the ground.
We immediately emailed Simply Moving about this and were asked about the type of insurance we purchased. Meanwhile, we continue unpacking and begin to find more and more damaged items that were clearly from negligent and careless handling. Somehow I doubt I'll ever see a penny for the thousands of dollars in damage Simply Moving did to my things. But I'll certainly never hire them again.

I used simply moving to move out of an apartment in early 2020, and kept my stuff in their storage facilities until I moved to a new place in August 2021 (almost a year and a half later). Everything that was in storage was in perfect condition. Both moves went seamlessly - they were on time, courteous, and efficient. Will definitely use them again.

Hired Simply Moving to pack and move the contents of my apartment at 8/31/2021. Movers "packed" empty boxes (full of only packing paper), plus other large boxes filled with single small items (i.e. a single disposable face mask). Simply Moving refuses to refund us for this or acknowledge their fraudulent actions. Simply Moving damaged several pieces of furniture (including a custom built, solid wood dresser that will cost $1400 to replace; a $600 dining table; a $600 lamp; five one of a kind ceramic pieces of art each costing around $500 to replace; plus several plates and other smaller items).
Total damages exceed $5100, plus the ~$1200 moving fees. They packed things so poorly that one box was leaking. When I opened it I found a half full box of toiletries that were just thrown into the box - some of which had opened. At the bottom of the box were 3 pairs of prescription eyeglasses. Simply Moving has refused to help with damages or refund us for moving fees. Don't hire them - they'll destroy your stuff and then claim it was just an unfortunate mistake that they can't do anything about.

Picking the right moving company is not an easy task to me, thus I asked our real estate agent for a recommendation, and she recommended Simply Moving. A representative called me, took the time to go over all the items to be moved, and immediately gave me a quote. I went for the flat rate option. The movers were accurate, careful, nice and professional.

Booking over the phone was simple, and price was fair for the size of my move (I booked 2 weeks in advance for a July move in NYC). Moving team showed up right on time for my 9am move, and efficiently packed the truck and had everything in my new apartment before 11am. All of my items were delivered in the same condition, nothing lost or broken. No stress at all for my moving day, would absolutely use them again next time.

Great moving company! Moving in NYC can be such a hassle, but Simply Moving continues to impress me. I've used their services three or four times now, and I am always very content. Though using a moving company is always an investment, I very much feel like I always get more than my money's worth when using Simply Moving. Their team members (from sales to customer service to the actual movers) are all incredibly helpful, personable, and re-assuring that they have everything covered. More than happy to spend the money on movers when it's an experience like this.

This review is 2 years overdue. We were moving from NYC to SF, and went through Unpakt to book with SimplyMoving. Sadly, when our stuff arrived in SF, almost every single piece of furniture suffered significant damaged and/or malformation. As a result, we had to discard multiple pieces of furniture as they were no longer usable. The best part, they offered $150 for the damages incurred, which to date (2 years later), they still haven't paid. Details & photos below.

Item_104 - Bench: bench surface suffered from deep cuts, despite of protection blanket Item_115 - Nesting Table: one of the 4 legs was severely bent Item_119 - Work Bench/Desk: one of the 4 legs was broken off Item_124 - Bar Stool: one arm of the single piece of solid steal stool was bent Item_128_129 - two shelves were completely broken down and twisted Item_136 - Painting: large aluminum steel picture was bent at the corner Item_140 - Lamp Shade: shade is punctured and malformed

The only thing that can potentially bring seasoned, tough, hard-core NYC dwellers to tears is moving apartments within this god-forsaken stockholm-syndrome concrete jungle we call home. I was offered an deal with Simply Moving through the storage place I rented and these guys were great. Showed up on time, quick and pleasant, careful with items. Will 100% use again.

We arranged a move very last minute, on a Thursday for a Friday move, at the end June in NYC (poor planning as this is a busy moving period). Simply Moving's customer support was very friendly and helpful and they made the whole process easy. Great work by Alexandra on the front end and Nate on the back end. They gave us a quote that was almost half that of another vendor who was price-gouging for the late request.
They also provided us with the Certificate of Insurance that my co-op required. The movers called when they were on the way and let me know that the traffic was really slow. They ended up being a half hour later than the two-hour window, but were able to make up for the delay by working incredibly efficiently, all the while ensuring our property was not damaged. The movers were friendly and positioned everything where we requested. Overall, great experience.

I've used this moving company twice for my moves and both times I have been very satisfied. The guys took good care of my furniture, were super careful to wrap things as well. The best part of the move is that the fee you are quoted is a flat fee which many places don't offer. Regardless of the time it takes them to move, you will only pay a flat fee. I definitely recommend Simply Moving! Thanks guys for making both of my moves a smooth as possible.

Vinny and his teammate were the best movers I've ever had IN MY LIFE (and I'm a young professional living in NYC so you know I've moved many many times). They were professional, caring, discrete, deliberate, trustworthy, and funny. They listened to my needs and concerns and responded beautifully. I had to move very last minute in an incredibly challenging but transformative moment, and they made the process incredibly easy. HIRE THEM. Don't wait! Don't doubt! Tip well!

Had a successful move using this company. The crew of 3 were extremely efficient, worked their butts off, and were all very friendly. The prices were very fair and competitive and definitely way better compared to other moving companies we called for a quote. I would definitely look into Simple Moving for your next move, it's no-frills, no-nonsense and they get the job done in a great way. Highly recommend.

I used Simply Moving back in 2017 and I was very happy with the service. Therefore, I used the company again in 2021. The team showed up in masks and took every COVID-19 precaution possible, packed everything very efficiently, and unpacked everything in a similar manner. I recommend Simply Moving and will use them again when I move. A shout out to Ivan and his colleague who did an excellent job. Similarly, Ana, Steve and the team in the back office was really good with keeping me up to date.

We've used Simply Moving twice (once for a move within Manhattan, and once for a move from NYC to CT). The movers were professional for each move; they showed up on time and moved our items with care. There were also no financial surprises since the flat rate was confirmed upfront via Unpakt. The price was also very reasonable and the lowest quoted of the providers on Unpakt each time. Would definitely use them again for a move within their service area.

If I had to describe this move in a few words, I would say "went like clockwork" I had to move my items from on Queens to Manhattan on a tight fixed budget, which I made known beforehand. They promised a 12-2PM window for pickup and arrived at 12:01PM. In less than an hour they arrived at the drop off destination. With plenty of time to spare they unloaded and moving the items into my storage unit quickly and efficiently.
The entire process took less than 2 hours way under budget. I'm very happy with their professionalism and level of service. I highly recommend this firm to handle your moving needs.

Jose, Alex, and Johnny from Simply Moving were awesome! They helped me organize my things into my tiny storage unit that was 4x5x10'. With the 10' ceilings they were really amazing in making everything stack and fit in a safe way. I think I packed everything well enough that my fragile items will have survived, but I guess I'll only know for sure after everything's unboxed after the next move.
Very pleased and their rate was very fair. They took obvious care to make sure my items didn't hit the ground hard. It was greatly appreciated. These guys are 3D Tetris pros. Would recommend!(the $280 coupon from Manhattan mini storage was ultimately the deciding factor, but I was lucky that they happened to be such talented and great guys).
