Nothing here is adding up Robbie ! We told you it was your responsibility to secure all you valuables the day before by email and verbally when we confirmed your move . Then you want to report this 4 days later after your move . We are open seven days a week .

I hate to write this because the movers were nice guys, but the total experience was not good. Initially, the issue was a miscommunication wherein I had thought it would be possible to edit the quote ahead of time (and by proxy, adjust price). I specifically spent time and energy moving things alone believing I could call to adjust the quote and save money, as I had expressed on my initial call that I was unsure how much of the list I would move alone and was told that changes could be made.

I originally gave them 5 stars cause i have uesed them in the past,unfortunately, this time around it was robbery! I explained to numerous employees "office workers " that i have gotten rid of a lot of furniture and to adjust the pricing,they explained to me that when the movers arrive they will adjust the price.Long story short, the price did not CHANGE due the fact that they swiped out a kitchen set along with a bedroom set "expect the box spring and mattress " also a deep freezer and a large marble coffee…

I had a horrible. Experience with 1/2 price movers. I asked for someone to come and look at my furniture so I could get an accurate estimate They said it was not necessary. So after many guestions the gave me a prie of 1500$. On the day of the move some one of the young movers decided to give me an estimate and DOUBLED the price to 2500$. I was horrified but had NO choice because I needed to move that day. So they proceeded and when they came to bringing my daughters box spring down stairs.

I don't understand you were emailed and texted the estimate and inventory list. We also explained our tips and procedures way prior to your move.We would never suggest to destroy any furniture I understand you had a handyman there you had altered the stairs and nothing would come out.

We used 1/2 price movers to move us out of our house and into a storage unit. The morning started out great and the team was enthusiastic. By the time they were moving us into our storage unit, things fell apart quickly. They ended up wrecking a bunch of our items and wrapping them up improperly. They put packing tape directly on wood furniture which ruined the finish. They stacked heavy items on very lightweight items and crushed them.

1-star Google reviewZara W.2 years ago
If I could put 0 stars I would, and not because the moving was bad. The experience of watching this older man Anthony Amato verbally abuse his younger coworkers and make them do push ups for irritating him? Someone needs to fire this man and take away this position from him because that is not how you treat anybody especially in front of customers. I am unsure how the people who run this place deal with him as he was extremely rude and unprofessional with us as well.

Worst experience ever. If you want multiple items broken, thrown in truck, items arriving 3 hours after they pick it up from first location while they eat and travel around staten island with your belongings then this is the company for you. Overcharge and even charge me for a closet they didn’t even take cause they couldn’t figure out how to move it… they cost me over $500 in damages and not even thru half the boxes…. Wouldn’t recommend this company to my worst enemy..

5-star Google reviewChetna S.2 years ago
I recently had the pleasure of using 1/2 Price Movers for my move, and I cannot express how incredibly impressed I am with the level of service they provided. From the initial contact to the final delivery of my belongings, every aspect of this moving experience was flawless. Our movers were Jean, Shak and Joe. The first thing that stood out to me was the professionalism and courtesy of the entire team where Jean was providing directions to Shak and Joe, where they happy to follow the directions.

I had a great experience with 1/2 Price Movers. From booking the move via phone call to the actual move was quick and easy. Linda the rep was fantastic. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the whole process, explaining and planning the move. She made booking stress-free. Booking was easy and pricing was exactly as quoted, with no surprise fees. She gave me a quote right over the phone and emailed an official quote with a detailed list of everything included.

Moving can be stressful but not with this team! These guys did a great job! From the moment they arrived, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident. They were clear about expectations, and flexible when I had to add more boxes than expected at the time of the quote. They were patient while we explained where we wanted everything placed. And they hustled- they moved us out and moved us into our new space so much faster than we thought it would take. These guys mean business!

We had an excellent experience with 1/2 price movers. David, Evan and Raf were so professional and such polite young men. We had some big pieces including a piano that they wrapped and handled with care. They made our move so smooth. I highly recommend this company. It is the second time we have used them. And I highly recommend this team. Professional all the way.

​"Marianne, thank you so much for choosing us again! We take great pride in our work, and it’s wonderful to hear that David, Evan, and Raf provided the professional service we strive for. Handling a piano requires extra care, and we’re glad the team made the process smooth for you.
