Our story starts in 1898. That's when Abraham Morris, a recent immigrant from Russia, opened the doors to Morris Moving & Storage. From his modest office on Third Street in the Lower East Side of Manhattan he began to assist New Yorkers with a challenging, but necessary task: Moving. Of course, things were different back then. For example, trucks hadn't yet been invented. So when Abraham started moving his first customers, he did so the way it had been done for hundreds of years - by horse and carriage.

If you have a storage unit, don't contact this company. They shoved stuff into the unit and not being responsive. Turned fridge on it's side and packed it this way. No customer service and not professional. Showed up 3 times with packing supplies and now telling us we were scammed by another company. So face and person was impersonated. Will never use again or recommend. Just awful

Glorianne Olivencia was an absolute pleasure helping me with getting a quote for a move. She was always available if I had any questions and followed up after the move as well. The movers were absolutely delightful. So friendly and reliable! They did such a great job! I wil continue to use them for myself and refer them to anyone that is looking for a fantastic moving company.

Dennis and Terry did a great job of moving my very heavy (but still fragile) antique cabinet. They arrived on time and wrapped it beautifully with several blankets and cardboard to avoid damage to the glass doors. They were super careful going up and several sets of stairs and didn't so much as knick a wall or door frame. Robert Morris was easy to work with - and flexible too which I so appreciated because my move dates were fluid. I would use Morris Moving and Storage again! Janice L.

Really bad moving service. Firstly, they got a small truck and two guys. They were supposed to finish the shifting in three hours and took six hours. One of the guys was not even alert. It seemed like he was unwell or on something. I am not very sure but he was super slow. My husband had to help them out in loading and unloading the stuff. We have used movers earlier and never have we had such a bad experience with any of them. Secondly the guy kept complaining about the stuff. Very very unprofessional moving company.

Our mover cancelled 36 hours before a scheduled move due to Covid issues with their workers. Morris moving stepped in and moved us on the two days originally scheduled. They were friendly, professional, efficient, and completed the job faster than anticipated. I have two more moves happening in the future and will definitely use them. They are the best moving experience I have ever had.

We had a fabulous experience with Morris Moving & Storage! Jacob was a delight to work with -- always courteous, prompt, kind, and professional. This was also reflected in all of his staff, who were friendly and efficient in the packing and moving process. We truly couldn't recommend them highly enough!

I have used Morris for four moves from a 6,000 sq. ft. loft to an apartment a third its size and to storage. Morris Movers were always punctual, courteous, and professional. Nothing was chipped, cracked or broken, and everything was placed exactly where we wanted. What I thought might be chaotic and stressful, turned out to be an efficient, smooth experience, with excellent results every single time. Morris Movers has excellent crew captains who are well respected by their hard-working teams. and all with a sense of humor and compassion. Gentlemen, it was a pleasure working with you. Thank you. Morris Moving is my number one, go-to mover. Francesca, Ship Shape Organizers

Most professional movers I ever used. Great team, friendly and fast. They take apart your furniture and put it back as if they know every nut & bolt used by the original makers. Not the cheapest, but excellent value in the care and peace of mind you get from them. And we had they pack as well - - - picked our entire house in one day! Makes the whole process so less stressful. And Jacob Morris is a pleasure to deal with; very decent person.

We have used Morris Moving & Storage 3 or 4 times over the years, both in Westchester and NYC. It is a well run, family business. They are professional and easy to deal with. The team in the office is efficient and helpful in scheduling the move. They also take care of necessary details, such as providing evidence of insurance coverage, etc. The moving crew does a great job: they are friendly and hard working.

They provided all the packaging materials needed to keep our belongings protected during the move. I am happy to provide Morris Moving a high rating; they reduce the stress that is associated with packing and moving.

Morris Moving & Storage provides superb service. Communication with the owner was easy, clear and transparent right from the start, service was provided as promised and on schedule, and the moving crew members were considerate, efficient, capable, and well organized. And not one thing was damaged or out of place on arrival. Highly recommended!

We were very impressed with Morris Moving & Storage. They were transparent and up front from the start, and they really delivered. We moved from a large, 6 bedroom home and the Morris team was very professional and efficient. They securely wrapped all the furniture, boxed up the kitchen, artwork and books, and helped us load clothing into wardrobe boxes. The team was also very friendly and upbeat, and kept our spirits up during a long two days!

We used Morris this week for one of our family members who was moving from our house in MV to an apartment in Manhattan (a 6th floor walk-up no less!) and needed a mover. I'd found them literally by noticing their truck and staff doing a move on Columbus Ave on the UWS one day and was impressed by their seeming professionalism and the fact that I lived in MV and noticed the MV address on the side of the truck.

I was waiting for a friend whom I'd taken to the vet and so had time to observe the loading/unloading activity. Knowing my "kid" was going to need a mover in about a month, I took a picture of their van. When the time came to move, we called, they gave an estimate, we accepted and additionally opted to purchase insurance. The move was perfect.

We were fully ready with furniture and boxes staged in our garage where it had been stored during the pandemic (and it's one person for a small apartment, so not a lot of furniture) and the whole move was done in under 3 hours--from house in MV to UES 6 floor walk-up. The crew was fantastic and friendly. Couldn't be happier. This is a professional moving service/company.

It will cost more than renting a Uhaul and hiring a couple of random people, but in this case you get what you pay for. And I can add that having had to move on the cheap by ourselves in the past, now that I can afford a proper mover, I'm even more grateful. The "get what you pay for" also includes crew/staff who are professionals and appropriately paid. That's why it costs more.

I have now used Morris Moving & Storage 4 times. Jacob is a very hands-on owner and working with him gives a great feeling of confidence. You are told who in advance will be the "foreman" for your move and that is your point person on the day of the move. What is particularly reassuring is that many of the same movers have worked on each of my moves, showing a stability in the company that is unusual in the industry. To be sure, Morris Moving & Storage is not cheap, but I found them to be well-worth the cost of a safe and easy move.

They are not cheap, but the movers made everything easy and were extra diligent in protecting large pieces of furniture and valuable. I would highly recommend Morris Movers to anybody in the area if they are looking for a quality move. Sometimes you get what you pay for, and in this case, you get great service with your move. I've used cheaper movers before and was never happy, even if I saved a few bucks.

Great experience with Morris Moving this past June; I needed a last-minute move arranged for ten-or-so household items; the company managed to fit me in within days of my call; the move itself was handled with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. Everything arrived at its destination promptly and intact. Highly recommend.

I am not one who typically writes reviews, but Mr. Jacob (owner) left such a bad taste after our 5 minute phone conversation that I felt obligated to warn potential customers of the horrific customer service I experienced. I called this company to schedule an appointment for them to come to my home for a residential move quote. I had previously done my due diligence and researched accredited BBB moving companies.

During our phone conversation, Mr. Jacob under the guise of "being transparent" was to be quite frank an obnoxious a-hole. He said that individuals who find his company via the internet or the BBB (such as I did) instead of "word of mouth" expect a certain price point and that his company is the "Rolls Royce" of movers. Thus, his quotes are higher or "double" than other moving companies.

I honestly could not believe what I was hearing. It is unfortunate, that a company with so many years in the moving business and an established reputation would behave so unprofessionally and have such impersonal interactions. If this is how Mr. Jacob conducts business and speaks to potential clients NO THANK YOU!

The president of Morris Moving, Jacob Morris, takes truly amazing care of his customers. As a professional organizer, I have used him for my clients' moves and he and his team are phenomenal. I completely trust them with high-end moves and delicate and fragile items. They are expert packers and movers who know the industry inside and out. Jacob goes out of his way and above and beyond to serve. Jacob asks all the right questions and gives amazing advice. Morris Moving has a beautiful, clean, and temperature controlled storage unit that I highly recommend if you need long-term storage. Jacob's team is quick, efficient, and polite. They do everything they can to make your move smooth and flawless. It's a family business, and they really care.

Morris Moving is an exceptional firm. While we have had generally good experience with movers in the past, none was on a par with Morris. We used them for a move into storage for five months and then an interstate move into a new home. Jacob Morris and his entire team were completely focused on the customer from start to finish. Jacob himself takes great care to determine what you are looking for.

He is candid that if you are looking for the cheapest deal, you should probably go to someone else, but if your possessions are of financial or personal value, they will take care of them. And they did. Our many hundreds of glasses and plates arrived completely intact. Among the two truckloads of all our "stuff" I think we had one plastic wheel on a small item that cracked.

And we are not certain that it didn't happen prior to the move! The crews for both segments of our move (with much the same personnel) worked hard, focused on what we wanted, and were genuinely nice guys, fun to have around. All in all, Morris is a premium mover; highly recommended.

I have used Morris Moving on several occasions and each time the service has been superb. I have stored things during construction and had them delivered when the work was finished. Everything was returned in perfect condition. Best of all, the workers are all long-time employees who are really terrific. Their number one concern is pleasing the customer. You couldn't find a better mover!

My broker referred us to Morris Moving (and another company). Both were responsive to my online inquiries. What set Morris apart was that Jacob, the owner, called me and answered some of my questions for our move. We hadn't moved in over ten years. We had to move our furniture over 2 hours from our old house. He explained that although they are a bit pricier that the care and professionalism of their long term employees would be apparent too.

The entire team, led by Mr. Ferguson, was upbeat, careful and took care of all our items, including disasembling them and wrapping them in mats. When they unloaded the next day, I noticed that they had labeled some of the rolled up carpets to help us identify them. They joked, sang, and just were positive and upbeat. No cursing. Just good to be around that professionalism.

We selected Morris Movers from Angie's List, they had a good rating and we felt confident in hiring them and we were not disappointed. Jacob came to our apartment and gave us a price with a senior discount. The day of the move the movers came at 8am sharp. Tony, Milton and Jude were professional, efficient, kind and helpful. We accomplished the move in good time - finishing up in Wappingers Falls at 1:30pm. If you want a professional moving company Morris Movers would be the one to choose!

The movers were great, but I later found out that they made an error. Instead of using the cartons I had collected they used their own. Added $350 to my bill. Honest mistake. I spoke to Jacob and he took care of it right away. First rate company. I will use them again. You should too.

Jacob Morris and his team are the definition of true professionalism. Moving is a daunting task in itself and they made the process seamless and stress free. They were punctual, personable, friendly and helped answer any questions I had along the way. Upon arrival at my new home, the superintendent of the building was so blown away by their work that he requested their information for future referrals!

As a single woman, I was nervous about being haggled and after doing extensive research on competitors, Jacob offered the most reasonable rates. He also took the time to work with me step by step through the process which made me feel very comfortable! I would highly recommend Jacob and his team! Thank you Jacob, Isaac and staff!

Jacob Morris was a pleasure to deal with and the movers that came knew what they were doing and we got the move done in record time. All my stuff made it to its destination in one piece and all accounted for. Jacob really took a personal interest in working with me to make my overall experience a great one. I highly recommend his company.

I am still speechless of how amazing my moving experience was with Morris Moving & Storage! After another moving company canceled on my family two days before we were moving from our Bronx apartment to our first home in Westchester, I scrambled and called Morris by chance! I talked to Larry and told him of our situation. At this moment Larry heard I was desperate, and could have taken advantage and charged way more, but he didn't!

I was given a more than fair quote (it was actually lower than the previous company's quote that had canceled) and received service that went beyond! They were on time, wrapped and secured all our pieces, worked hard and fast while being careful not to mishandle anything! Mitchell, one of the movers, was extremely friendly and professional. He made moving during this extreamly stressful time fell more like doing a chore or task with your buddies!

In short, if you live in the NYC/Westchester area and are moving and you do not use Morris Moving Company, you're just being silly and I wish you luck! The only downside about moving into our house was the opportunity to use Morris Moving & Storage only once! Thank you again to Larry, Jacob, and Mitchell!

I hate moving with a passion - it stresses me out and fills me with so much anxiety and it's always a terrible, miserable experience. But I had such the opposite experience with Morris that I felt compelled to write a review in hopes of saving a little sanity for other people. Jacob is the MAN - he couldn't be more accommodating, communicative, straightforward, kind, and professional.

And I don't even know where to start with the guys that moved us - they smiled, they hustled, they were so helpful. There was nothing we asked that ever got an eye roll, a sigh, anything but an "absolutely" and a smile (and i can be a pain in the neck) - and we moved into a house with a terrible rocky long staircase to even get to the house. They also took such good care of our stuff. This move didn't stress me out at all, and that's 100% due to these guys. I'll never use anyone else!

As an adult who has moved numerous times, I can safely say these movers are THE BEST. Morris Movers operated with integrity, reliability, and the utmost care for me and my belongings. From my first call into them to get a quote right through my move-in, they demonstrated professionalism. I even got a call several days afterward to discuss the service. Now, I will tell you that their quote may come in as average or above average in price.

That said, they do not end up being expensive--as your piece of mind, your belongings, and the team you work with on getting settled in the new place wont let you down. In the past, my movers have been delayed arriving and delivering, broken items, lost things, or abandoned me when a challenge was encountered, which all bring up the cost of the move.

On that note, Morris movers doesn't quote you a price in the beginning then give you a different higher quote/bill at the end of the move. You can trust these guys. Hire Morris Movers, you wont be sorry.

Worth every penny! My first time using a moving company to move and it was so worth it! The two gentlemen that came were friendly, efficient, professional and nice. They were done in less than three hours, never complained once about the millions of steps and freakishly heavy sofa bed. They wrapped everything neatly and nothing was scratched or damaged. Don't even look anywhere else, as this mover came recommended by someone who as been using them for a long time. You will not be disappointed.
