Full apartment moves

Brian C, Midtown

Rob still rocks! Today was the third time in the last year that I used him (yeah, I
move a lot). I called last night and was promptly given the name of a person
that would be helping me move. Marcus showed up on time and was an
absolute pleasure to work with. He’s a great guy, a hard-worker and was not
only efficient, but very careful and attentive with all my belongings–not one
thing was so much as scratched. And if these aren’t enough reasons to use
Rob and his guys, Marcus and I finished in record time today. Where else can
you move for $140 and get this kind of experience? No where. That’s what I
thought. Thanks again, Marcus! And as always, thanks, Rob! You guys rule!

Fussy B, UES

I think the worst part about http://craigslist.org is finding the last minute moving
person. I don’t like the young twenty-somethings who don’t care about your
furniture and look like they’ve been partying up until the truck is parked. I found
two large club chairs on CL on a Tuesday morning, called Rob the Movers at
4pm and was able to book for the next morning at 9am. I received prompt
replies to emails and left a deposit with google checkout. A deposit might be
off-putting to some, but it told me they were serious about our appointment and
I wouldn’t have to worry about a no-show. My mover was Dave and he showed
up early to the pick-up, even calling me to say he arranged parking for free
with a garage next door. In other words, he came early to do some recon. It
was just him and me. I’m used to carrying furniture and he was amazing at
working with another person, and a woman at that; calling to watch out for
corners, and little cues that if you’ve ever carried furniture with some one saves
backs and fine edges. He drove patiently, had the meter money ready, padded
dollies and was generally positive about getting the chairs into my home
easily. It was about an hour of work for $80 plus I gave a tip. I think it was
incredibly well worth it. With another person it would have taken twice as long,
again, this guy knew what he was doing.

Andre H, UWS

Rob the mover is as good as it gets. I moved my entire one bed room
apartment across Manhattan in about 2 hours. The guy they sent was
extremely competent and personable and the rate was reasonable. I would
recommend them to anyone and I would definitely call them again if I need to
move!

Drew E., East Village

Highly recommend. Easy, reasonable rate, showed up early, and good,
friendly communication throughout. Would definitely use these guys again.
Thanks!

Peter F, Brooklyn

Rob’s staff was easy to deal with and no-nonsense. We got what we asked for and when the movers realized the

truck was going to be too small, the movers and the office sent a second truck and driver at the same cost without

even mentioning it to us as a problem. The move went smoothly; the time/cost was what we expected;

the gentlemen who moved us were truly delightful. We haven’t completely unpacked everything yet,

but so far, it seems they moved our entire two bedroom apartment without a single item breaking.

These folks are superb.

Sandro B, Elmhurst Queens, NY

Great Experience! I cant rave about this moving company enough. The
negotiated a fantastic rate for the job they had. My girlfriend was moving in
with me and we had a lot of furniture and antique items to move from Brooklyn
(2 floor walk up) to Queens (2nd floor elevator). 



2 guys arrived in a huge van, on time (Jerry, I hope you enjoy that printer) and
came on time and from the beginning were kind, courteous and willing to
move anything and everything. They were very careful and moved everything
without a hitch. They even moved an old sofa that my girlfriend didn’t want
anymore onto the street without question. They also made recommendation on
the best way for things to have been moved and carried. 



Once we were all packed up we left to go to Queens. They followed behind my
girlfriend and I in their van and drove very careful so as not to jostle any of the
furniture around. Once we got there, there had a 3rd mover holding a place for
them to park in front of my apartment building! Talk about efficiency! 



Once they unloaded it was again, fast, careful and courteous. Before the move
we decided to have my old dingy carpet cleaned and it was still wet. These
guys even offered to take off their shoes, so as not to walk in the room with
their snowy boots!   I dont know any movers that would have even offer



This experienced has changed my view on movers and moving. Moving itself
can be very stressful….but with good customer service and kind and thoughtful
movers, it just helps eleviate the stress even more. 



Thanks to you and your team Rob! Kudos

Lauren Y, West Village

We used Rob the Mover yesterday for our move on the UES. I found him on Yelp after reading tonnes of reviews for Rob and other companies. I got quotes from a few others but Rob was definitely the cheapest and the easiest to work with. We also
called on Monday morning for a Thursday move in the same week and he was able to fit us in no problems!

We moved from a 1 bedroom 5th floor walk-up to a one bedroom elevator building. The move went very smoothly and I couldn’t be more satisfied. The whole process was very easy and Rob was excellent with communication prior to the move day
as well on the day. He was quick to respond to my quote request and responded to all my emails within half an hour. He also contacted my new building to organize the insurance info and access to the building.

Rob sent three guys to do the actual move and he looked after the truck while they were packing and taking everything downstairs. The guys were friendly and helpful and very efficient. They arrived right on the dot of 8am and got started straight
away. We particularly appreciated their efforts in removing our door to get a difficult sofa bed through the doorway! We had a few broken glasses but I think that was mainly due to our packing skills than anything else. The whole move took about 4
hours which was exactly how long Rob predicted.

Very happy with the move experience and will definitely use Rob again!

Jen W, Brooklyn

Had a great experience! With a week until my move, I found Rob the Mover on
YELP and Rob quickly responded. We corresponded back and forth via email
(that works best for me) and we agreed to everything. Eric and Brad were
great, Eric was even fifteen minutes early! They were FAST, less than an hour
and a half. I didn’t have a ton of stuff. Had my own truck so just needed two
men to help with the heavy stuff! Thanks Rob the Mover and crew! There was
NO STRESS! Thanks for the positive experience! This made my NYC positive
moving experiences now 2 out of 3!

Brittany C, Chelsea

My roommate and I just used ‘Rob the Mover’ yesterday and I can’t say enough
good things. They took our appointment last minute after another mover fell
through. We lived in a 5th floor walk up and had 3 guys wrap up our furniture
and move everything into the truck. They were on time, efficient, careful and
very nice. We were really impressed and would definitely recommend them to
anyone!

Michelle C, Gramercy

I’ve used these guys twice and can’t recommend them more. The first time the
moved me from a 4th-floor walkup to an elevator building in no time flat.
Watching one of the guys carry my full-size mattress and box spring single
handedly (seriously, hoisted it on his hip and walked it down 4 flights of stairs)
was amazing and totally worth it. 



To save money I opted to rent my own van and just hire two guys to help me
move out and one guy to help me move in. They were really accommodating
and nice about it. All told, it cost less than $200 and was the smoothest move
I’ve ever had.

Brian C. (client used us twice), Soho

i called rob on a thursday night at 9:30 for a friday morning move after my
mover flaked out on me. rob quickly confirmed that someone would be at my
place at 9:00 the following morning and would help me at $45/hour. eric
showed up on time and ready to work. not only did we finish the move in
record time, but eric was incredibly careful with my things and helpful with
organizing the truck. he was an absolute pleasure to work with. 



rob and his guys are the real deal. they will absolutely be called again and
referred to everyone i know looking to do a move

David S, Tribeca

I’ve been in NY a while and moved plenty. BY FAR, this is the best experience
I’ve had. It’s usually complete hacks with a junk truck and everything you own
is scratched/dented. I emailed Rob, requested labor only and he set it up
within hours. I scheduled 7a-9a, but we all know how stuff like this works in
NY. “Sorry, the tunnel/bridge was stopped, the Deegan was jammed” blah,
blah. Whatever, you’re late dudes. Just get to it. I thought 7:15/30 for sure.
Kenny and Marcus showed up 10 minutes early – that’s right folks, 6:50am.
Movers! Early! For real. They zipped through the entire job AND helped me
bring my trash down at the end. We stepped aside to square up, looked at my
watch – 9:00:00a. Incredible. 



Thanks a million, fellas. Rob The Movah!

Mike S., NoLita

I do not hand out 5 stars like candy.

Furthermore, I never found movers on Yelp until last week.



I phoned two of the reviewed movers here and opted for “Rob”.



My experience…. 



…the best move I’ve had in 13 years in NYC, a tenure including at least 7 moves.



Rob didn’t actually do the job, nor did his day help.  He and the guys who
actually did the move, John and Barry, were hard working dudes that
obviously took value in the efficiency of a days work.



The move was careful, speedy, friendly.  The interaction with the humans
moving my belongings was casual, familiar and non-confrontational.



Their service came at a more than reasonable rate.

The few extra dollars you’ll spend if you chose this mover will go toward 

-on time performance.

-service with a smile.

-a get-along attitude

and

-a hassle free transaction of your agreed upon price.



Use These Movers.

Caroline S,

Rob the Mover was great!  His business partner was exactly on time- very fast
and friendly.  Gave me a ride w/ the furniture all the way from harlem back to
my place downtown.  Related interesting stories the whole way…. I believe I
paid $80 for the two items.



(side note, my roommate just hired a different cheaper mover off of craigslist
and he was legitimately psychotic, threw our furniture- used every swear word
and racial slur in the book, etc- she will be using Rob for the rest of the
furniture that this mover refused to carry, so beware of craigslist and go w/
people who have reviews in other places like Rob the Mover)

Priscilla S, Murray Hill

Rob the Mover is FANTASTIC!  I can’t recommend his service highly enough.
He’s competent, he’s flexible, he’s inexpensive, and he seems like a genuinely
nice guy.  



From start to finish, I knew I was in good hands.  I called him day-of, and he
was able to accommodate me at the time I specified, no problem.  Even when I
dramatically changed the details of the move an hour before his guy was
scheduled to arrive, adding a second pick-up location, he took it in stride!  



My mover, Jeremy, was great.  He has a gift for maneuvering awkwardly-
shaped furniture through narrow doorways and into tiny elevators, in defiance
of all the laws of Physics.  He was very prompt, actually arriving 15 minutes
before he was scheduled to.  The job was done in record time, and he was
exceptionally careful with my stuff.  I couldn’t've asked for a better experience!



Thank you, Rob!  I’ll be recommending you to all my friends.

Lilly M, Hell’s Kitchen

Rob the Mover offered excellent service and a fair price… He sent 2 guys who
flew up and down stairs and also managed to squeeze all of my stuff into my
apartment without any problems. In addition, they arrived before me on a
sunday morning at 7am. Despite that time and the amount of my belongings,
they maintained a positive attitude and completed everything quickly! Much
appreciated! Lastly, he uses text messaging which is very useful too!

Asher, UES to Midtown

I have only great things to say about Rob. Hired him after going through his
yelp reviews and was not disappointed even though he was not the cheapest
option (but not the most expensive by any means either). I think he is
completely worth the price. 



Had him scheduled for 10am on saturday, got a call at *exactly* 9:59 saying
he’s downstairs and I was very surprised at his punctuality. He had brought
extra help (i booked 2 movers, he brought 3) and kept the same rate as before,
even though I ended up having more stuff than I thought I did in the email to
him. The move took less time than estimated because they were very fast (but
still careful with all my stuff, no damages at all) and Rob was kind enough to
charge based on half hour, so I ended up paying less than I would have. Most
movers would’ve slowed down to get that extra half hour. 



Very VERY pleased with the whole experience. Would recommend to anyone
in the New York area. Rob put me at ease and I felt comfortable that none of
my stuff would be manhandled or damaged. In general got a very good *vibe*
from you. 



PS: I moved a one bedroom from upper east to midtown east. Was done in
three and a half hours.

BeBe, Williamsburg

WOMEN: This cat isn’t sketchy at all. And his prices are reasonable.



I’m a single mom and am always with my toddler daughter, so naturally I’m not
too keen on hiring random men from the internet to be alone in my home with
me and my kid. But sometimes you have to take a guarded chance. I did the
usual: I called a few friends and told them to check on us at certain times, or to
be worried if I didn’t call them by X time. I told my next door neighbor that I
needed him to keep his ears open for an hour. I told my daughter’s babysitter,
who lives nearby, to come over at a time I assumed I’d have JUST completed
the move of a new couch into my apartment.  It was nothing against Rob…I just
take normal precautions like many women (and especially mothers of young
kids) do.



Anyway, Rob was all business, his assistant was super nice. They went way
above and beyond. They didn’t keep me waiting (invaluable when you have a
toddler), they were super duper patient, and most of all, I felt safe. And that’s
awesome. The good vibes were very obvious. 



Rob is smart, on-time and super competent. I will be recommending him to
EVERYONE I know.

Shane K,

Hey you – yes the one that needs a reliable mover.  Stop looking at the crap on
craigslist and call Rob.  He totally saved me at the last minute and is the nicest
guy ever.



5 stars – more if I could!

Emma M, California (we loaded a truck for her)

this guy is awesome for the following reasons:



1. he’s nice

2. he’s funny

3. he’s not sketchy

4. he was really understanding when i had a personal crisis and had to
reschedule on him at the very last minute

5. reasonably priced compared to other movers 

6. moved everything quickly and efficiently  

7. he rules.



seriously. i’m so glad i found this guy on yelp and i’ll be referring my friends to
him! THANKS ROB!

Nick A, Prospect Hts Brooklyn

rob was awesome. perfectly on time, very nice guy, good sized van to move a
bunch of stuff and all at half the price of any other mover i found.

Sky K, Midtown

have used rob twice now: first to move an entire studio apt and the next time to
move a few couches … we’re super psyched about his punctuality and his
personality.

Jennifer Y, Flatiron

Rob helped me move a dining set yesterday proving that no move is too small
for these guys.



Prompt, I texted him en route and he was right on time.



Friendly, really nice guy. 



Efficient, Moved quickly and was way more careful than even I was.



Crafty: Helped navigate the table through a small doorway amongst other
small obstacles.



Thumbs up! Thanks Rob!

Julia T, Financial District

I have been using this guy for years. You call and set it up and he arrives in a
timely fashion. Plus you can trust him and his guys. For a single girl in the city
thats super important. He is my go to guy for all my furniture moves! I have
been referring friends to him as well. I am a very satisfied Rob the mover client.

Matthew JB, Brookyn

I just wanted to extend a very big “thank you” to “Rob Moves NYC” for all their
help with my move.



I went through a very difficult time and – twice – had to cancel my move with
Rob the Mover on less than 12 hours notice as a result of dealing with some
shady landlords and lost 2-3 thousand dollars in “consequences.”



But I was very, very glad that that I stuck with Rob the Mover – and I deeply
appreciate it. I give them six stars on Google’s scale of five: and the final one is
for a decency, courtesy and a willingness to extend a hand not commonly
found among New York City movers – or many other companies these days.



I will recommend you to all my friends – with the strongest emphasis -

be they rich, middle class or lower income-  if they have any moving

needs in the New York City metro area.

Marjan H, Midtown

I emailed them 36 hours before I needed some stuff moved, and they were
super quick with their response and quote. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my
move altogether, but when I called them they were pleasant and didn’t mind
the short notice on the cancellation. I didn’t get to rate their actual moving
skills, but if it reflects anything close to their customer service, I’d be thrilled.

Drea S, Brooklyn

I recently used Rob the Mover to move out of a 4th floor walk up, into storage
and then, finally, into my new apartment.  I’ve moved quite a few times over the
past few years and have had some less than fantastic moving experiences.
After unpacking my stuff, I was thrilled to find that for the first time EVER, not a
single dish, glass, mug, etc. was broken.  My furniture was all wrapped and
handled carefully, so even flimsy Ikea things made it through intact.  The guys
were all friendly and professional and they even showed up early! There were
no hidden costs or other hassles.  I’d definitely recommend them and will use
them again without hesitation.

Furniture moves

Selena H,

I’ve never reviewed anything on Yelp before but these guys are so great that I
had to sign up just to tell people.  This is the second time I’ve called Rob to
help me move a piece of furniture I found on Craigslist and suddenly decided I
had to have NOW NOW NOW.  He’s really responsive and if he can’t do the
move, he has some partners who are also very professional and very careful
with your stuff and your apartment.  Fun guys, reasonable rates, painless
move.

Matt P, (from Colorado, but moved something in Chelsea)

You want curb to curb call this guy!!!



All he has is his old chevy but as long as you don’t need to move too much it
works great! I had him move a futon and it was the easiest transaction I’ve had.
He will even give you a lift so you don’t need to get a taxi. On top of that he’s
probably the nicest dude ever. 



Trust me you won’t be sorry!

Waisling N, Hell’s Kitchen

Rob just finished moving a table and 4 dinette chairs into my apartment. (Hells
Kitchen to Hells Kitchen) Reliable, sensible mover. Like any NYC mover worth
his salt, he uses wireless apparatus for a smooth move, e.g., cellphone, GPS,
etc.  Conduct yourself with integrity and he will do the same… Simply dimply,
five happy stars.

Neil W, Downtown

I was nervous about using a man with a van because of horror stories, but Rob
was really great.  He showed up at the right time (after short notice) and was
very helpful moving a sleeper sofa out of one apartment.  We were stuck in
traffic but Rob was really nice and pleasant about the ordeal.  Finally, at my
apartment the couch wouldn’t fit in the door.  Rob helped me take the door off
of the hinges and even stayed a little longer to make sure that it closed
correctly after we put the door back on.  I just sold my old couch and have even
recommended Rob to the buyer!

Jenny S., Brooklyn

Rob the Mover is awesome!!! 



He came on short notice and moved a big couch in his truck from the UES to
Brooklyn, and helped us pick the couch up over a fence and over a shed and
all these other obstacles. 



Great prices too!!! Much cheaper than other moving companies I’ve worked
with in the past.  After speaking to him, we texted him the address and he told
us he’d be there at a certain time – he arrived early, and was so friendly and
helpful. 



Yay for Rob the Mover! I’ll definitely call him next time I need to move
something.

Leo M, Williamsburg to Green Point

aka. ROB THE LIFESAVER aka. ROB THE NICEST DUDE EVER aka. WHAT
A BARGAIN aka. PICK THIS DUDE.



I called half a dozen movers, easily, and either 1. they didn’t move “just a
couch” 2. they didn’t answer their phone or 3. they weren’t available right now.



I needed like, today, he was there. He moved a heavy couch, we’re sitting on it
now. Plus, he’s a nice dude, and you should support nice dudes. We gave him
a 40 tip, cuz that’s how nice he was. Found him on yelp, so, p.s. thank you yelp
AGAIN.

Michelle M, Midtown

I never ever ever write reviews. But Rob was so good I just had to. I’ve moved
five times in NYC and this was my best experience yet. When I move again,
Rob will be getting my call!!!

LuLu R, TriBeCa

Used Rob The Mover Yesterday.  Could not ask for better service.  It was not
an easy job in the snow, but he was excellent in every way, I would highly
recommend him.

Lynn G, Sunnyside Queens,

Rob-the-Mover met me at IKEA in Red Hook and helped me move a sofa to
Queens. The driver was courteous and helpful and quick. He got stuck in traffic
on the way to Red Hook, but kept me informed of his whereabouts. He was
very respectful of my time. I’ll definitely use Rob-the-Mover the next time I need
to move furniture. Thanks, Rob!

So I get this deal on Craigslist:  $800 for $7,500 worth of almost new dining
room furniture from a luxury building on Riverside Drive.  A two day window to
get it done.  High maintenance sellers.  What does Rob do?  ’Must have made
6 calls and emails on my behalf; re-arranged his schedule; moved us in the
horrible rainstorm we had last week; and gave me the best price.  Quickly
answered my calls and emails.  Showed up on time.  Rob the mover is now
Rob my mover!

Robin R, Harlem

Called him in the afternoon and by early evening he had already delivered the
furniture. Super nice guy. Fast, professional and courteous. He is going in my
phone next to my doctors numbers!

Marjan H, Midtown
