Wooly Mammoth Movers

This is the same 5-​star «these guys are excellent» review as everyone else. They are professional, fast, deliver precisely as promised, and their rates are affordable. Friendly guys, too. I will never move in NY again without calling them first.

These guys rule! Flexible, friendly, professional, on time, fast working and incredibly communicative with regards to timing and confirmation. I could not have asked for a better team to move us the morning after 2 feet of snow fell in NYC. Christian, Dave, Lex and the team at Wooly Mammoth are as good as it gets. For Real!

I didn’t even end up using Wolly Mammoth because I got some friends to help, but the customer service along the way was fantastic!

Ryan and Paul just finished my move. They worked really hard, were polite and efficient. They were great I highly recommend them.

These guys are amazing. They got the job done within the three hour minimum. They didn’t break anything. They were quick, kind, gentle, and on time. Plus, they’re reasonably priced. I had Ryan and Stu — request them.
If I move again, it’s Wooly Mammoth all the way.

Had a very good experience with them. Prompt and accurate responses on scheduling and estimates, a great price and the van was large enough for our one bedroom + office apartment, which is great because it saved a little money from having to get a full truck. Christian kept on top of things via email and his movers showed up right on time, were quick and friendly as they loaded everything up and managed to beat me to the new place. No complaints– estimate ended up being spot on, everything arrived in tact. Extra bonus, while doing an internet check on them I discovered Christian’s musical talents and am a fan of everything I could find that he’s done; how do you beat that?

What can I say — Wooly Mammoth is the best movers in Brooklyn! Christian and crew came highly recommended, and I can see why! Professional, courteous, and FAST! They helped me move from Brooklyn, NY to Chicago, IL and not only were they the most reasonably quoted price, they arrived faster than expected!

Wooly gets the job done! They helped me move my sewing production studio which required lots of heavy lifting of odd items. The movers were skilled, trustworthy and efficient. The guys were personable and didn’t have the macho ego attitude you find with other companies. They made my move easy and smooth. I highly recommend their services!

I cannot speak highly enough of Christian and Wooly Mammoth! Tomorrow will be my 3^rd time using WM in less than 2 years and though I can’t speak to that particular move yet, I could not wait to post after the amazing service I’ve received in the scheduling process.
I scheduled my Brooklyn apartment move with Christian 2 weeks ago and this week, I had a family emergency take place. With one day’s notice, I found out I would need to empty out my Uncle’s apartment in Manhattan and if possible, do it all on the same day as my already-​scheduled move. Not only did Christian respond within 15 minutes to my email, but he was able to accommodate the very last minute request and made what has been an extremely stressful situation, that much easier.
My past two moves with Wooly Mammoth have been prompt, efficient, and fun (who thought moves could be fun!) and I expect nothing different from tomorrow. I will never move with anyone other than Wooly Mammoth!

Definitely recommend this company: efficient movers that were also a lot of fun and very kind.

I am a jerk and I don’t remember the names of the two guys who helped me move apartments but they deserve 5 stars. I booked my move extremely last minute (less than 24 hours before) because someone had cancelled on me just as last minute and I am so happy I found them. They came right on time, quickly, efficiently and seemingly effortlessly moved everything I owned into my new apartment and even helped break down my ikea bed frame and bring down some furniture left behind that I didn’t want in the new apartment. The move went so smoothly that when we found a parking spot directly in front of my new building I joked that everything was too perfect something was about to go wrong… but it never did.
The guys were happy and fun and seemed to legitimately enjoy what they were doing which makes everything better. They engaged me in conversation and played with my dog. They didn’t expect me to help but were grateful when I did. All in all, moving is horrible and stressful and Wooly Mammoth made it a breeze. I hate to forget the dudes names but one had lovely long hair tied back in a bun and was very sweet and the other was dark haired and charmingly sarcastic– so shout out to you guys whoever you are! You rock.
I HIGHLY suggest Wooly Mammoth.

It is said that moving is one of the most stressful situations in life. We all know it is. Wooly Mammoth Movers were great. I called on Wednesday and set things up for a Saturday early afternoon move.
I only needed them to clear out my storage unit in Ridgewood & transport it into my new 3^rd floor walkup apartment in Flatbush. They showed up at my storage place right on time & cleared out the unit as quickly as possible seeing as everyone and their mother decided to be at the storage place on Saturday. Because that took longer than David or I expected, I was certain we were going to go over the 3 hour minimum that we both anticipated. But once we got to Flatbush I could tell that David & Berkley (I think) were kicking up into high gear to get everything done in time, rather than keeping at a reasonable pace and going over a bit of time.
I HIGHLY recommend Wooly Mammoth for moving & will use them again when I need to move.

My SECOND review of Wooly Mammoth. I moved once last year from Brooklyn to Manhattan, and just this month from Manhattan to Queens, and used Wooly Mammoth both times.
Same as last year, this time around they were totally efficient, friendly, funny, and fast. The guys who moved my stuff were Dave and Paul.
I like WM because they’re all of the things I just said they are, and also because they’re a local company with a personal touch. That counts for a lot in my book.
I wish I could think of a rhyme to urge you to use Wooly Mammoth, but I can’t think of anything that rhymes with «mammoth.» So maybe «Don’t be silly, go with Wooly» will have to do for the time being.

These guys are great! I used them to move the contents of my bedroom from a shared apartment on Roosevelt Island to a shared apartment in Brooklyn. They’re fast and efficient — they’re not going to laze around just so they can charge you for another hour, and they’re not going to add on a bunch of surprise charges when it comes time to pay. They were a bargain compared to the quotes I received from other movers, but they are awesome at what they do. I’d definitely recommend them to a friend.

THE BEST MOVING EXPERIENCE EVER.
Wooly Mammoth moved me over the weekend and I cannot reccomend them enough. I booked a different mover for 5÷30÷14 and they arrived surveyed my stuff, asked for my deposit and then left… with my money, without moving a thing. I called a dozen movers that night and sent a bunch of emails begging movers to help me. I received two call backs — Wooly Mammoth was booked but did lots of rearranging, manipulating and found time on Saturday to move me. THEY WERE AMAZING. Kind, respectful, empathetic to my situation, hard workers, fun chats, and really cute to look at :) (that’s just an extra bonus for you ladies out there).
I loved them, and am so grateful for Ryan & Paul for coming on such short notice and working their asses off when they really didn’t have to. They saved me!

These guys were excellent!
They showed up on time, worked hard, and were very friendly and fast. I hope I don’t have to move again anytime soon, but when i do i will definitely call them up again.
I would recommend them to a friend.

In the past I never had too much to move but after spending five years in a loft apartment in Brooklyn, I had acquired a little more than my friends with a van could help me out with. Also, my boyfriend and I were both moving from our own apartments into our first place together so this was going to be a two stop job.
Rich and Dave were great. They were super considerate, quick and careful with our things. They also rolled with the punches. My landlord had promised that the elevator would be made available to us but it wasn’t working at all. I couldn’t believe they managed to move all of my stuff down 4 floors, and pick up my boyfriend’s things in under 4 hours (considering that my boyfriend still hadn’t finished packing). I would recommend packing though. I told my boyfriend to pack but he didn’t. Heed my advice. Pack.
All in all I was super happy with Wooly Mammoth and I would hire them again in a second.

They’re pretty good as a man-​with-​a-​van team. Previously I’d used an expensive professional company, and woolly were half that price. They don’t provide supplies like wardrobe boxes or miles of bubble wrap, I’d been spoiled by previous lot and needed to reset expectations. Our furniture got minor chips and scrapes. One of the guys was lovely, the other one (who arrived later with the van) less so, tho maybe that is to be expected after an hour or two stuck in traffic before he got to us. They worked hard, got our stuff moved pretty fast, didn’t complain when the new building kept us waiting for keys and elevators, put the beds back together expertly. All in all, I’d use them again, but buy more bubble wrap beforehand!

Found these guys on Unilocal for a last-​second move. Was a little worried because they only had 1 review posted, and were free to take on my move quite early the following morning, but everything went incredibly smoothly. There were absolutely no issues or unfortunate surprises. 3 guys showed up on time (lead by Dave), went to work, finished hauling everything to the van in short order, and then unloaded it at the new place even more quickly. I was a little nervous that their van wouldn’t hold all of my furniture and boxes, but everything fit quite easily in the end.
The entire move took much less time than I could have reasonably hoped for and I would’ve been happy to give them a much bigger tip if my debit card wasn’t tapped out that day. I highly recommend these guys to anyone doing a studio or 1 bedroom move.

When reviewing a hair salon, it is important to wait a few weeks, to make sure you love the cut as much when it’s grown out a bit as you do initially. The same with a new restaurant — shouldn’t you give it a second try rather than rely on a first impression during a soft-​open? In this case, I felt it was best to wait on my review until I was sure that my stuff had moved and that it would not, spontaneously, return to my old apartment. In this way would I judge the quality of the move.
And lo. The move stuck, and here, a month later, is my review of Wooly Mammoth Movers.
«Moving sucks.» Many reviews of movers start with this general assumption, but I argue that it is, in certain cases, unfounded. In my experience, moving is a few weeks of anticipation tempered by acute lameness (namely, finding any possible excuse to delay packing). This is followed by intense physical activity (calling in sick to work to buy boxes and start packing roughly 24 hours before the movers are due… having just called them and begged) and more physical activity — the rigors of the move itself (one always feels obliged to help, not «supervise») after having been awake all night. After waking up at 3pm the next afternoon, the moving process then, over the course of the following weeks and months, tapers off into a Zeno’s paradox of never quite being done cleaning, arranging, and unpacking.
But does all of this suck? NO! It’s exciting! You’re MOVING! New home! New beginnings! Tabula rasa! Etc! You might be broken and exhausted and frustrated, but it’s the «good» kind of broken/​exhausted/​frustrated, the one where you reward yourself with a burrito and beer, not Valium and chardonnay! Theoretically!
The psychological process of moving [on] entails having no regrets. The domicilical moving process, as well, should have no regrets. Choosing a mover is stressful because it entails that good ol’ fear of the unknown, and the crushing anxiety of the potential for disaster. That potential for disaster would come to fruition were, for example, the movers ornery, careless souls, or were their vehicle too small to fit your much-​greater-​than-​ever-​anticipated load of belongings.
Gladly, this is not the case. As aforementioned, Kris took me on at that last minute, squeezing me after a day-​long move out on Long Island, and before a dinner party at his house. I was flexible on time, but he kept me updated on their progress throughout the day, so I’d know how fast I had to scramble to finish packing… er, when they would arrive. I am so, so glad I went with a company offering a larger than normal sized van, because my stuff would’ve never fit inside the typical «man with a van» van. That said, Kris & Co. were expert packers, extremely efficient, and careful. And did I mention? They also provided the lowest quote of all the companies I contacted.
Most importantly, they sweated up and down the fourth-​floor walk-​up I moved into with nary a rolled eyeball. Heartily recommend.
