They quoted 1/2 the price than total charge, i wasn't informed about the hidden fees, 1 hr truck travel charge, 250$ on material, 50$ on gas for less than 15 mile travel. on top of it all they charged my credit card twice. I was told they charge ~400$ initially then they take rest after move, instead initially charged 1500$. I am planning to move again in few months definitely staying away from this company.

From the consultation to the day of the move everything from long island moving and storage was phenomenal. Working with the dashing young man Robert was amazing. I have never used a moving service prior to this so I was a bit worried, but he assured me that it will be quick and painless. The movers showed up on time and moved my all my things from Long Island City to the the Upper West Side within 3 hours.
They were quick, careful, and just all around nice guys. My most fragile belongings are just as perfect as they were before the move. Next time I need to move, without a doubt I am giving Long Island Movers a call

The movers were great, no issues there. My main issue is with how our move was managed. We were told an estimate. ~$2K. We were told we would be charged half before the move and half after. We were charged the full amount before the move and then another ~$1K+ after the move. With the explanation that they had improperly estimated the weight. They were moving our stuff out of storage from which we had a complete itemized list, which we gave them to do the estimate.
Not sure how they feel comfortable giving people estimates with an error of 50%+. Based off the reviews here and on yelp it seems like this is their business model. Provide an estimate that is cheaper than other moving companies and then say their estimate was off by 50% after the fact. Really untrustworthy business.

Long Island Moving & Storage lived up to all of the horror stories that you have ever heard about moving companies. First they have you fill out an online survey of how much you have to move and ask you to tell them how many boxes you will be moving. As I explained in a follow-up phone call to them, I am not a professional mover. I can't possibly know how much will fit in a box in order to estimate how many boxes I will need, or how much they will weigh.
I asked for someone to come over to do a site survey. I even requested their packing service that they offered ahead of time. I was told that it was not needed based upon my description of items. Next came the second scam of the lowball estimate. They quoted me a fee of $1550.00. I was told that my move would not meet the minimum required weight limit and I was given a price sight unseen.
Of course they sent a gigantic truck and after moving from NY to Maryland I was told that my items were over the estimated weight and the Long Island Moving & Storage fee went from $1550 to $6,358. That's more than 4 times the quoted amount. They tried to demand cash or a certified check from me before unloading, claiming that they couldn't process a credit card because the office was closed.
Well so are banks, not that I was in agreement with the extortion. Finally in order to get my belongings I was forced to sign the receipt "paid in full" with my credit card information. They are professional scam artists and should be avoided at all cost.

In June of 2019, I contacted Rob at Long Island Moving and Storage and explained that we would be moving our 1 bedroom apartment to our new apartment a few miles away. I gave a detailed explanation of the rooms that would be moved. I was quoted $625 and told that the entire move could be completed by 2 men in 4 hours (plus 1 hour of travel time.) The day of the move, the movers were several hours late.
When moving our king-size mattress, they decided to fold it, and then wrap it. We immediately intervened and asked them to unfold it so that it would not get damaged. It did get damage nonetheless, and handles on both sides of the mattress were ripped off. We were told we could put in a claim. The move took over eight hours with travel time, instead of the four quoted to us, and hence cost significantly more.
Our $625 quote became $1,081 and we were required to pay them in cash. The day after the move we noticed that the bottom shelf of our coffee table had been cracked. We contacted the company and Rob told us that someone named Diane, who works in the claim department, would call us shortly. Weeks went by; we followed up several times, and Diane never called. (It has now been months since the move and Diane has still not called.) We followed up again and we were told to put in a claim on their website.
The claim form required notarization, but when we called to ask how they would like us to notarize an online form we were again told that we would receive a follow-up phone call. Weeks went by and we were never called. We called again, spoke to Rob's father and we were told to print a copy, notarize it, and resubmit the entire claim online. We immediately did this and resubmitted the claim. Again, more weeks went by and no one followed up.
We continued to follow up and Rob and his father, presumably the owner of the business assured us they would look into it and return our call. We were promised a return call within 24 hours. Unfortunately this never happened. It has now been over 5 months since the move and no one has called us back, or settled our claim for our damage. We have contacted this company a minimum of 15 times and have been ignored.
We even put in a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and they won't respond to that either. They don't care about you, your possessions, or their reputation. UPDATE: In response to Bobby's comment below, I already submitted the claim form twice.

Excellent moving company. Used them for my move within Hoboken, NJ and had an exceptional experience. They arrived on time and ready to work. They wrapped all of our furniture accordingly and with ease. All of the men were very friendly and nice and hardworking. They took all of our furniture to our new apartment and set everything up exactly how we asked. They made it look simple and really made a stressful moving day turn into a pleasant experience. Would HIGHLY recommend them!

I recently moved and I call Long Island Moving and Storage Inc to help me with my move. It was the greatest decision I made on getting this great moving company. I must say they are very professional. The communication leading into my move date with the company was great. They made my move very smooth. The group of workers that did my move were very professional, was on time and worked great as a team, which is something you would ever want from a moving company.
The packaging and securing all my prize belonging was unbelievable. If I was to move again, I know what moving company I'm calling. I would HIGHLY recommend Long Island Moving & Storage Inc. I'm happy and I'm sure they will make you happy as well. Thank you again

Just got finished with our move last week hiring Long Island Moving & Storage for the job. Great movers, very positive experience! They arrived on time, you could see the moving men were very experienced and friendly. The entire relocation was completed the same day as was promised. No damage, and the final price we paid was right in line as originally estimated. We would highly recommend this mover to anyone looking for a responsible honest moving company!

My wife and I recently were forced to move and needed to find a mover that could meet our short notice. We vetted several moving companies who came to our home and proposed written estimates and then we found Long Island Moving & Storage who had a different approach. They have the moving thing all figured out and in the end more accurate in their estimates and more affordable.
They had an extremely comprehensive online form that allowed us to spec out room by room all of our materials. This saved everyone a lot of time and easily differentiated themselves from the competition. We had no hesitations when selecting their services. The owner Bobby contacted us right away first by email then by phone was very helpful and walked us through the process, the costs and the expectations.
On the day of the move they carefully wrapped all of our furniture and transported everything to our new place with no issues. The owner also called us after the move to follow up with the service! I would like to recommend their service to others that may be seeking moving services.
