Bob and Brad were extremely courteous, professional and great at their job. We had a big move and the two of them knocked it out faster than I could've imagined. Great work fellas y'all deserve a steak and some rest! I'll definitely be using recommending this company and using them again in the future.

Hands down this is the best moving company I have ever worked with. We hired them to help some real estate clients move out of a 8000 sq ft house into a 7000 sq ft house. The move took significantly longer than we had anticipated. They worked with us to make sure that we had movers there consistently the next day and even brought back the same guys since they were already familiar with the layout of the new house. We have another move to book today. We will definitely be booking it with them.

I'm happy to have hired this company to move my entire house. It completely took away the stress of trying to figure out how I was going to get all my furniture downstairs and into a truck. Somehow, they were able to quickly move my entire house in less than 8 hours! This included taking all my stuff out of the old house which had 3 flights of stairs and into the new house which wasy 2 stories. They effectively got my king- sized mattress, heavy media console, and gigantic dresser downstairs from the top floor!

I needed to find a reliable moving service for a recent move. I was about to spend a fortune on movers only to find that the company I hired was terrible. Luckily, I found Empire Movers and Storage Corp, who provide excellent service at a low price. Their movers were fast, friendly, and did a great job of moving all of my furniture and boxes. I would definitely recommend Empire Movers to anyone who needs to find a reliable moving company.

I've used Empire Movers and Storage Corp for the last five years because they are reliable and affordable. This moving service offers a wide range of moving services like local moving, international moving, furniture moving, and more. They are also flexible with scheduling and offer many discounts. I would highly recommend Empire Movers and Storage Corp to anyone who is moving.

Best moving experience I've had in NYC. Brad was responsive and helpful in coordinating the move and sharing all the details, updates, and answers to my questions. The movers themselves were incredibly efficient, quick to pack any remaining things up, and even brought a keen interior design eye to the space when unpacking. I liked how there were not any hidden costs - I knew exactly what we were going to pay right up at the front. It was simply by the hour. Would use them again for sure.

Francesco and team from Empire Movers and Storage Corp were extremely flexible when I changed my move in date last minute. They arrived on time. The movers were extremely kind and accommodating. The price was great compared to other moving companies in the city. Would definitely recommend this company for your next move!

I'm moving soon and was trying to compare company rates. The average prices I'm getting is in the 350 range. So I just called the number looking for a quote. After giving the guy who answered my info, he tells me 700. My exact words were, "That's a bit too high". Before I could even say is there a way we can negotiate the price, he says verbatim, "Well, you can rent a van and do it yourself." Shitty Price and Shittier Customer Service Skills!

I used Empire to move me from NJ to NYC and they were amazing. Virgil helped set me up with everything over the phone and he was very helpful and kind, even when I was clearly getting stressed about moving so soon after a holiday weekend. The movers who came were quick and careful, they made sure all of my things were properly wrapped and taken care of and even took some things that I forgot to originally put in my inventory. I could not recommend this company enough, they are truly sone of the best movers in NYC.

Empire moved me from NY to Texas 3 years ago. They carefully wrapped my antique furniture and belongings and unloaded them into an offsite storage facility at the final destination. The crew was fast, hardworking, polite and had to traverse several flights of narrow stairs in my brownstone. Fast-forward to this weekend when I was finally able to move everything out of storage and into a new home.
Everything was perfect, nothing broken or damaged! So here's what I will leave you with: 1. THEY ARE EXPERTS IN WRAPPING AND PROTECTING FRAGILE FURNITURE 2. THEY KNOW HOW TO LOAD AND STACK EVERYTHING INTO A STORAGE UNIT WITHOUT PLACING STRAIN ON FRAGILE ITEMS. 3. THE CREW WAS PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS. Hire with confidence!

Booked my move with Virgil well in advance and he was responsive/professional from the beginning to end even with extra logistics (Moved out + 1 month storage + Moved in). The foreman and the team of movers were timely, professional and took care of our stuff. Best of all, the price guarantee was met. No extra charges. No extra box BS. These guys quoted a price and a time frame and hit both. Really appreciate the high quality service. Would definitely use them again and recommend them to friends/family.

I moved my apt from Queens into storage and 5 months later from storage down to Virginia. All of my things arrived safely, which I am happy about. The communication was pretty frustrating and I couldn't seem to get a straight answer about when my things would be delivered (about a month of back and forth, partially because of my timeline too).
I imagine, like many services, they are struggling with staffing. I totally get that, but gosh, trying to understand a realistic date for the mover (one mover!) to drop my things off was me calling almost every day to bug them. They're about $2k less than a national mover, and I suppose the savings come in from the lack of communication. When my stuff was dropped off, the mover didn't bring anyone with him and I had to pull people in off the street and pay them to help. I'm pretty sure that the mover got the rest of the charge that I paid in cash and I think Empire kept the expensive 'deposit' for the arrangement of the move? Again, I did get my stuff so I'm happy that nothing was damaged but the move was almost a month ago and every time I think about it, it irritates me. So, just wanted to let people know about the frustrations involved in a cross country move with this moving company. Maybe the price is worth it, though, your call. It was for me I guess since all my things are intact.

Fantastic service from start to finish! We moved between 1-bedroom apartments in Manhattan in mid-June 2021. Brad was very responsive and helpful during the planning phase. The day of the move went smoothly, as Charlie and his colleagues packed up our entire apartment in about 4.5 hours (full service packing), and then unloaded in about 2.5 hours.
The guys were very accommodating when it turned out that we could only reserve our building freight elevator for a limited timeframe. After a week of unpacking boxes at our new place, my wife and I were amazed to see that not a single item was damaged or missing. There were no issues with payment, and the final bill was exactly as quoted in the flat rate. We're very satisfied customers!

Misleading. The price paid was doubled the price quoted. Bait and switch! They wanted charge for wrapping a mirror already in packaging and charge for placing a television in a box. They knew ahead of time where the pick-up and drop off was; then charged extra for mileage and tolls. Had we known this, , we would've NEVER used them. My daughter had furniture that fit in a studio, yet they sent a truck for a 2-3 bedroom fully furnished apartment.
They wanted to charge $300.00 for canceling 2-days prior to the scheduled date. They were fine with us bringing boxes to them as opposed to them retrieving themselves. Using U-haul, Penske or a Ryder truck would have been better. DISGUSTED WITH GETTING RIPPED OFF!

OUTSTANDING SERVICE! I called Empire Movers on very short notice to move me into a new apartment. After ten years before my last move, needless to say I had many many boxes. Marko & his team were AMAZING! Efficient, STRONG & super friendly. They made this an enjoyable experience & I highly recommend them. I'm extremely satisfied with Empire so if u r shopping around for a moving company, don't hesitate to use them. U will be happy u did. Prices were very reasonable & they don't rip u off like some other companies. If & when I will move in the future, I will DEFINATELY use them again! Great Job Empire!

Empire moving increased the price of our move from $1,000 in packing to over $8,000 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The movers they hired damaged our apartment so we lost our deposit, boxes packed by them never arrived, and numerous items arrived broken or damaged. They left my credit card out in the street. They offered no explanation for the severe increase in cost of packing or gave any refund in this price.
They send you to a third party to obtain possible refund for items lost and damaged. They gave us a low price and nearly tripled the estimate when they knew we had no other options.

Florin is accusing me of fabricating my review and of extortion. Typical misdirection and "whatabout"ism. Do not be fooled, folks. The good reviews on here strike me as coming from profiles that aren't real. I would challenge Florin to tell me what exactly in my review is false. Most of it was documented in real time by me as it happened, so the notes are contemporaneous, and most of the review is compromised of e-mails that I cut and paste and put into the document. I did not alter the words, other than leaving out personally identifying information. The e-mails speak for themselves. Do not use Empire Movers.

I have moved with these guys 3 times and the 3rd time was indeed the charm! I emphasized several times that I have time constraints and I only want their services if they can be there at 9am. At 9:30am I called them and they said they will be there by 11-11:30 because they got a flat tire. Eventually they showed up at 12:15! After the move was done, the manager, Brad, called and gave me a total which was 80% higher than the flat rate he had given me over the phone just 2 days ago.
I thought he is gonna justify it by talking about differences in the inventory; instead, he completely denied that he had given me a flat rate! Long story short, if like you to deal with someone that doesn't care about your time and lie like it's nothing, Brad is your guy! Edit: Apparently the business owner is very confused that I expect them to not lie to me!
I never said that I had anywhere near twice the inventory that I had initially provided. I said that I thought they would blame a few extra items for charging me almost twice the verbally agreed number. But instead, they just denied that there was ever a verbal agreement for a flat rate!

Empire Movers helped us move in some really stressful, physically challenging conditions, and didn't bitch for a second of it. Worth every penny. We hired three people (one for their van, two to move furniture in and out) and they moved FAST. They brought in special boxes for clothes, taped everything up in our place and brought it down to the truck; drove to the new place 30 minutes away, found a decent parking spot nearby and moved boxes.through a ridiculously narrow hallway in an old building in Chinatown, and up 5 floors in a walk-up. Yep, no elevator or anything, on a cold-ass day in the middle of winter, sweating from the work all the way through.
They kept at it for hours and still managed to be professional and courteous / didn't complain at all. Made sure to give them a big fat tip at the end. Highly recommend them to anyone with a ton of stuff and who want to avoid a lot of pointless stress.
