Northside Moving

Stay away

Stay away from these guys. They charged us 3 times on the quoted amount on the contract. The way they operate is by quoting you a low price to lock you initially. This is usually done by a dumb receptionist when you call them. On the actual day of moving, the movers will arrive - usually 3 guys - 1 supervisor and 2 more to lift the heavy weight. Supervisor will conduct a walk through and then the cheating kicks in. On seeing that you are completely packed and ready to move they will disclose the following hidden charges - actual packing material charges are 3 times of what is quoted on the phone - $170 along corridor charges - $150 stair charges - $200 driving the truck back to their own office charge - $75 On calling their office and talking to their owner John, we realized that nothing can be done as he was the master mind behind all the whole hidden charges and they very well know that since you are completely packed and ready to move, the odds of finding a new mover is next to none. Read the other reviews and you will figure out why everyone is complaining about the same bad experience. I am disappointed at myself for not reading the reviews before i signed them for moving to my first new home. The whole experience with the movers completely ruined the excitement of moving into my new home for me and my family. Complete rip off !

It was okay.

Yeah, they... Initially, they requested for four hours, but unfortunately it got a little bit timed up. But they completed in four hours, they did charge me for six hours. So, it was a bad experience that I had.

Very good

They showed up on time. Very good. Efficient. Very pleased with their effort.

Beware!!

The guys were great! My problem was the quite. I specifically told them exactly what I was moving. I would expect their estimate to be close to the actual price. Not an additional $300. They charge to wrap items according to their standards,which means they will wrap every piece you move and then charge you for it! They will then pack you in the truck and hold your furniture hostage until you cough up their new astronomical price. The only reason I went with them is because their quote was low. They obviously quote low and then recoup their money by over-charging for packing and wrapping! Why should you have to pay to use moving blankets??? If they cannot give you a guaranteed rate for your move,go elsewhere!!

Final quote was 3x more

The fact that I was given an estimate, but it did not hold... the final bill was three times more than what I was given. That was my main concern. When they come in and start packing the material, they should tell me that it would cost me, so I can choose. I could've have made trips on my own to lessen the cost.

Stay away from this company

Please stay away from this company. Horrible people with rude attitude. Only positive thing is after they messed up my moving date initially, they later on accommodated on the right date. But their office people are very rude and directly suggested I should look for another moving company if I didn't like them. Also, after getting a quote and after the moving guys came, I specifically asked them to let me know any extra costs apart from the quote. Did not say anything and billed me more than the quoted price. When I confronted the guy, he said he is just a messenger and talk to office people, who were by the way even worse. Look for some other movers or rent a truck and do it yourself.

ALL AROUND AWESOME EXPERIENCE, AND A ...

Moving's never fun. Honestly, who looks forward to prepping for it? Today's move was G R E A T. Northside made it super easy and a comfortable experience at that. These guys are the best movers my family and I have ever used. I was impressed with their work ethics, they worked swiftly without taking any breaks and managed to fit everything into the narrow stairways and doorways without leaving a scratch.Overall they made our transition very smooth, that I will be recommending you guys to all my friends and family. THANKS GUYS!

I'm a big fan of these guys

I'm a big fan of these guys. They handled my local Brooklyn move with professionalism and efficiency. All of my possessions made it safely from point A to point B. So who could ask for more? I also got the sense that they are really genuine and good people. The girl who scheduled my move on the phone was courteous and responsive, and the actual movers were communicative and friendly. Also they are seriously good value. It would have cost me only slightly less to rent a truck and have my friends help me, so the money paid for these movers was well worth the saved stress and aggravation.

Great Experience Overall

I used Northside this past Wednesday to move into a 4 flight walk up. My apartment is a 1 bedroom with a full living room , dining room and kitchen area. So there was a lot of furniture. Not to mention, a lot of my furniture is antique and heavy. The crew worked really hard to wrap everything thoroughly. What do you know, no scratches and no damage to any of my furniture. It takes a lot to impress me, but these guys know what they are doing, clearly they're professionals. I will definitely be using them for my next upcoming move!!!

Experienced group of men

My friends told me how good Northside Moving was. It had to be that way because these guys have decades of experience under their belts. They have a great reputation and have been in the business for a long time. It turned out to be a great decision hiring them to handle my move. They worked with absolute precision. The movers were very well aware of any kind of problem that could arise and they came prepared. They made sure all my belongings arrive at my new house completely unharmed. This level of sincerity only comes from experience!

Moving has never been this simple

Northside Moving was just amazing. I called them and got a quote in a 5 minutes conversation. They were friendly and extremely efficient. Everything was about timing with them. They arrived early, packed up quickly and made the delivery on time. Very few companies care about punctuality like they do. The movers were great. They were experienced and energetic. A special mention must go to their foreman who worked just tirelessly. He always had a solution for everything. I relocated with all my belongings intact. I only have these amazing movers to thank for.

Very good, showed up on time and were ...

They were fine, they did a good job, they showed up on time. They were good. They were fairly priced. they didn't have to do any packing. They were very careful with my furniture and my TV and everything.

They were reliable and fast.

They were fine. I had no issues. They were reliable and fast.

They did everything right

I used to relocate on my own. But it was always too hectic. Hiring moving companies didn’t seem to help much either. But my move with Northside Moving was a whole different story. The best thing about this company was their movers. The crew I got was just awesome. They packed up everything and loaded the van in just 3 hours. I couldn’t believe how quickly they finished the job. There were no issues on the way and all my valuables were delivered safely. This company did everything right in my opinion.

They overcharged me.

I've called and spoke to somebody a number of times and not one of them told me that each packing material and each step would be an additional charge until they were here already halfway moving my stuff. And then hit me with a $1200 bill.

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER

I've had my share of moving companies in my lifetime and this by far has topped every single one I used, or even though of using. I had the best experience with this company from start to finish. From the first time the office called to give me an over the phone estimate till they moved us into our newly bought house. The office staff is just delightful.. When the men arrived the day of our move they were extremely professional, quick and courteous. They were basically in and out, they worked very hard, and got all of our things wrapped in no time. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable and honest moving company.

Horrible experience!

I called them on January 29 to move me. ... They gave me a window from 1 to 3 p.m. and they did not send anyone until 3 p.m. I repeatedly called them because in just two days time I had to vacate my apartment otherwise I would be fined. I had no other choice but to wait for them because I had to vacate on Sunday, otherwise I would be fined. Then they gave me an update that they couldn't come. ...Around 8 p.m. on Saturday they called me back and said they would send someone 9 a.m. on Sunday, so I agreed. They packed up things here and they gave me an estimate of about $237 but there was additional charges because it was a last minute move and such, so be it. ... They demanded I pay $590 or something.

They were very professional.

Everything is fine. They were very professional. The only thing is that I felt they charged me a bit more for the blankets and tape, and I didn't opt for packing services. Otherwise everything was satisfactory.

Quick and courteous.

They were very quick and thorough in terms of ensuring everything was in the proper place. They were courteous.

Professional crew accurate estimate ...

The crew came on time at 8:15 as promised Ralph and his crew began by loading all of our boxes. They wrapped our furniture as though it was their own we were so worried about all of the antiques in the house but after watching them work for the first half-hour we were at ease I highly recommend northside moving to anyone looking to move don't hesitate to call them they are phenomenal

Amazing service for a very fair price

Was all set up and packed to move. Last minute issues with my buyers' closing caused a delay. Called Mark and explained the situation. He was extremely helpful and flexible. We ended up storing the furniture over night then doing a mid-afternoon unload after closing on my sale and purchase the next morning. Crew was efficient, courteous, professional and careful. This is a top-notch organization where the integrity of the ownership reflects right down to each and every employee. Would highly recommend.

Helped me out at last minute I would ...

What can I say they were punctual. Ralph's crew was well-organized they packed loaded and unloaded our furniture within three hours. The price which was quoted was exactly what we ended up paying even though we added more items in the end the guys were so nice we ended up tipping them $35 each thank you so much

Great service amazing crew couldn't ...

From start to finish the crew was amazing they came in on time did everything that was asked of them and more ....Salvador the foreman even asked if we need our other furniture moved from room to room which my husband improperly assembled. Lisa our sales person gave us a price and they really stuck to it. We read several negative reviews however the price that they gave us was literally half of what everybody else was asking how could we go wrong I would highly recommend northside moving to my family and friends. Great job Northside!!!!!!!

Worst experience of my entire life!

We agreed the cost was going to be $350 because I was moving within my same complex. ... They came started packing.. the deal was that I would pack everything and they would move only my furniture. ... They started to wrap sofas and furniture and everything. After they load everything, they said we'll give you the price as to how much it's going to cost you and it became $1,100. They said I had to pay in cash. It was Sunday. I had to pay in cash otherwise they're not going to unload the stuff.

Definition of Professional

From the time I spoke with Janet down to the guys who secured and handled my furniture so delicately, they offered such professionalism! It was quick and the guys worked so diligently. I was always a pack it up yourself to save money type of girl, but after using North Side Moving, I would have no problem spending the money, at all. I did no work and I greatly appreciated the services rendered to me.

They were cheap, good and fast.

It was great. Done, in and out, no problem. It was fast. The price was great.

Great choice

Wow. I wish I could give them more stars. These guys are true professionals, including demonstrating extreme patience with my one million questions and frequent confusion. They were never rude, not once, and always spoke with courtesy and respect. Regarding the move itself, they were on time, wrapped everything carefully, agreed to wrap my paintings themselves, moved me from Hoboken to edge water unpacked some things at the house, then moved the rest of the stuff to a storage unit nearby. The storage place opened late so they had to wait maybe an hour for it to open. Did they ever complain? Nope, not once. They even took special extra care with my plant. A one day move and they did everything efficiently and quickly. I can't recommend them highly enough. Fantastic company. I will never move by myself again.

Excellent service

I had an excellent experience with north side moving. The men that came moved my furniture very kind and courteous. They handled all our items with respect and we all had a good laugh at the end. I love the fact that they wrapped all furniture in plastic and removed legs when possible for ease of movability and transportation. I would definitely recommend this company great people to deal with.

The mover was professional but the ...

The guy who actually came was very professional, was very upfront ... The only problem I had with the moving company was the price that they quoted me and what the actual price was was very different. And when they quoted me the price they didn't give me all of the information. ...Like there was almost a $100 diesel truck rental ... You could have told me that upfront because that added to the price.

I had a good experience with north ...

I was quoted 789 and my bill was 789 they came on time protected all my furniture from being damaged in the move which I appreciated they were very professional I

Great move

We recently engaged northside moving to move us from one town to another . John (whose last name I forget) was very informative and thorough in his explanation of the details of the move. The crew who arrived were fast, careful, pleasant and thorough. And the final bill was actually a bit less than the original estimate. Moving isn't fun, but we were happy that we entrusted the move to northside.

Great movers pleasant and professional

I moved with them they were very professional they did a fantastic job the guys loaded every thing in a timely manner making sure all items were not damaged very polite and professional was charged exactly what I was told which was great

smooth move

I decided to go with this company based on a recommendation from one of my buddy's and im glad I took my buddy advice this time every thing went smooth guys were on time moved all my stuff with out breaking anything best of all the price I was quoted did not change

Demanded payment or they would leave ...

First they gave us a very low estimate. On the phone they said lots of things would be covered... they said they would not charge extra for stairs ... and later on they did! They loaded our stuff, they got it to the new home and before unloading they gave us a huge bill! And they demanded that we pay it right at that time or they would go away with all our stuff!

excellent

This has been my first time using Northside moving and I am more than satisfied with them. They came to my apartment on time and packed everything very fast. They brought all the necessary equipment and wrapped my furniture very carefully. On a moving day, they arrived to my apartment with two friendly workers and start moving all my stuff. They did not have any break. They worked really hard and moved my stuff in few hours. I am really more than satisfied with their service. They are a very professional team. Also, best price in the city. There were no hidden fees. I will say that if you are looking for a moving company, choose northside moving! You will definitely like them!
