“I recently had the pleasure of engaging Big Apple Movers for my relocation. Their team demonstrated professionalism and care, turning a stressful move into a seamless one. I wholeheartedly recommend Big Apple Movers!”— Mike Sannito · 5★, Google ↗
“They were friendly, efficient, and took great care to not damage any of the furniture or the walls. Big Apple also gave me a better price than three other moving companies I had explored, and the quality of the work was excellent.”— Verified review · 5★, Google ↗
“HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH THIS COMPANY! David's crew dragged my son's drawer around to the point where it is completely broken, broke my bed, and cracked our TV. It is completely broken because of lack of care.”— Kimya N. · 1★, Google ↗
“Their team damaged many items in my move. They would not return my call when I asked how they would take care of the damage. Grossly negligent, not using padding, not following instructions, using dirty packing materials.”— Verified review · 1★, Yelp ↗
