1-star Google reviewMary P.5 years ago
I have moved several times and I really question how there are so many positive reviews. From the start I had an initial call where compared to other moving companies it was a nickel and dime situation. Everything was "extra" including the COI and flights of stairs, their travel fee is higher than others. My gut said not to go with them but all the others were booked. Dimitri was rude and didn't even introduce himself when he entered our apartment.
2-star Google reviewKarl S.Edited 4 years ago
During my move, I was extorted by the crew (2 males). They cornered me out of everyone's ears and told me that they wanted to know how much tip I was going to pay them before they considered moving certain items. Specifically, they said they wouldn't move anything that's not in a box but if I would pay them good money they'd slip it in without their manager knowing.

I hired NJ Local Moving for my move on January 11th 2021. My experience with them was shocking. I am a small business-owner myself and it is an exception that i write a less than an excellent review for any business. And purposely, I let …

I had a great experience with New Jersey Local Moving Company. The entire team was professional, punctual, careful, and very well organized. They handled everything with care and made the whole moving process smooth and stress-free. The movers worked efficiently while still taking the time to protect our furniture and belongings. Communication was excellent from beginning to end, and everything was completed exactly as promised.
5-star Google reviewAlison L.a month ago
We had an outstanding experience with this moving company from start to finish. The team packed our entire house with incredible care, and every item was protected and organized exceptionally well. Nothing was rushed, and it was clear they took pride in their work. On moving day, they handled everything professionally and efficiently. They treated our belongings with respect, communicated well throughout the process, and made what could have been a stressful move feel easy.

5-star Google reviewDonna S.a month ago
NJ Local Moving LLC moved us recently, and I had a great experience with them. They sent a three-man crew with a truck, and every one of them was considerate, professional, and easy to work with. They communicated well throughout the move, worked quickly while still being careful with my belongings, and made what can be a stressful day go much more smoothly. I really appreciated their hard work and positive attitudes. I would absolutely use them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable movers.

These guys are the best of the best! I have hired NJ Local Moving twice now in the past three years. Both times, they were incredibly professional and careful with our stuff. We have a lot of fragile items; they handled them all with care, packing their truck expertly such that nothing got damaged. The entire process was very smooth. There is no comparison between their level of service and that of the many different movers we had used in the past. I can't recommend NJ Local Moving highly enough!
