Four A’s Movers

Quick, Efficient & Reliable provided great customer service.
Would def hire these guys again.

I booked these guys after reading the great reviews on Unilocal.Maybe the crew we had was new, but they were untrained, unprofessional, and did an overall poor job. They were 2 hours late for a 9am appointment. It then took them over 6 hours to move our 1 bedroom apartment — and we stopped them before they had reassembled the table and bed frame because we were worried about them damaging things further.
They were basically the opposite of Midas’ golden touch. It felt like everything they touched was damaged by the end of the move.
They didn’t know how to properly wrap things (it just so happens that the person I was moving with used to be a mover and was appalled). The were clumsy, careless, and had no hustle whatsoever. This was an elevator building and they blew right past our reservation window. Even my sweet, white haired maintenance man was aghast at their slowness and dawdling. At least 2 of them argued about how the other one was doing something wrong.
They claim it took them 2 hours to drive from Lincoln Square to Gowanus because «a street was closed». I drove the same path twice that day (on streets, not highways) in 40 minutes. We actually used google maps at the time of their departure, which said (including traffic and avoiding highways) less than 45 minutes.
They were not prepared — no extra boxes (we could’ve used another large box but the stores were sold out), and they ran out of furniture wrap. They also accidentally left with the hardware to our furniture so that we couldn’t reassemble things ourselves without ordering new hardware.
We tried to contact them about the missing hardware and the damage to our furniture and never received a response. I waited 2 months to write this review to give them a chance to respond to the calls/​emails. Still nothing.
The only thing I have to give them credit for, is that In the middle of the move when we called to see about compensation for the excessive lateness in the morning, they gave a discount of the price of 2 movers per hour instead of 3. But after seeing the results of the move, I was nothing but disappointed.

Based on my previous positive experience with these guys, I hired them for my recent move — and I couldn’t be happier with the job they did! This was a relatively small move, but it involved going down 4 flights of stairs and then up 6 — with no elevator, unfortunately. They were pros all the way, handled my stuff with great care and attention, were very friendly, and even showed up a few minutes early! They also offer the best price that I could find, so I highly recommend them for your moving needs. I’d definitely hire them again!

Showed up almost 2 hours late, damaged a $ 300 chair they couldn’t be bothered to wrap in a blanket. They could not disassemble a table because they didn’t bring a full set of allen wrenches. The good news is, I was able to dig out my own set for them. The bad news is I’m still waiting for it back. I didn’t even want to ask them to reassemble it in the new location. If I had, thought, I might still have the hardware it came with which they also took.
Lest you think the damage was limited to the furniture, don’t worry. They also dropped a box containing imported olive oil and red wine vinagrette which would have made a nice salad, if it weren’t busy being a threat to life and limb for days, while their (admittedly hilarious) attempts to shove a modestly-​sized couch down a hallway is surely a mortal threat to my security deposit.
They should change their name to four F’s for FFFFFFFFFFForget you.

Called them on very short notice (3 days) and they were still able to help me move on a Sunday. They helped me wrap furniture for protection and got me from Jersey to Brooklyn in 3 hours (travel time included). The guys they sent were friendly and efficient.
They charge by the hour so I highly recommend that you plan things out ahead of time. Organize your things neatly and have your furniture taken apart and wrapped AHEAD of their arrival to save on the cost of them having to do it. Also be mindful of the start/​end time and say them out loud to the workers so there are no disputes. I’d definitely use them again the next time I move.

Nick quoted me a very reasonable price for my move and his guys did great work. The move took longer than originally expected, but his guys were patient and made sure the job was done right and my belongings were handled with care… not only that, I got a truck on very short notice. Couldn’t be happier! Thanks guys!

Would not recommend them. They were probably the most affordable, but they definitely were not professional. I asked them to be very careful with my stuff numerous times, but I caught them man handling my stuff. At one point, I even caught one of the guys riding my bicycle in the storage unit.
I used a completely different company to move my stuff out of the storage unit, which I was much happier with. I would NOT recommend them. This company is cheaper, but you risk having your items damaged.

These guys are so great! They just left my apartment and I’m very happy with their work. They arrived on time and were really nice guys, not to mention easy on the eyes — hey Albert! :) They worked hard and quickly and took good care of all of my things. They also helped put my bed back together and even gave me some good advice on an issue I had with the bed.
Seriously a very great experience. They were hard working and I actually enjoyed having them around. I’ll definitely use them again!

I just had a great experience with Four A’s Movers going from financial district to midtown west. After having my original movers cancel on me this past Tuesday (fail), I had to scramble to find movers and came across these guys on the interwebs. They took the job at a competitive rate and provided COI within a very short window. Their pricing was very straight forward (no hidden fees for COI or «travel time») that benefits both the company and the customer.
Nick and BJ came by promptly at 9am, surveyed what I had to move and then got to work quickly and efficiently. They wrapped my TV, couch, and dresser without me even asking and were professional throughout the entire process.
I highly recommend Four A’s Movers and will definitely be using them again in the future. Thanks for a great experience!

Four A Movers was fantastic. Great price and great service. Hired them in late September for the 2^nd time. Quoted for 9 am and 2 crew members. They showed up 30 mins early and with a 3^rd crew member. Price remained the same. They did the exact same thing when I first hired them to move in March.
Cant recommend them enough. Team was great. Thanks!

Wow! Asked around several places, and their hourly rate is very competitive. Brandon, BJ and Albert came to do the move and were great! They were incredibly professional, very personable and did a terrific job quickly moving things out of our apartment in Manhattan and delivering it to Southampton. And this was no easy move, as I had them move two full size arcade machines (a Ms. Pac-​Man and a MAME machine), each of with are over 300 pounds and quite large. They even got it into my house and down some narrow stairs without issue. Customer service was great as well and got insurance on short notice to come into our apartment. Would definitely use them again and they come highly recommended. FANTASTIC!

I still like this company. There were some issues in the second move with a specially large couch that they could not deliver upstairs. But the pricing and punctuality still brings this company to the top of the list.

THESE GUYS ARE THE BEST! The whole process was flawless, from arranging the move date to having the proof of insurance sent to my management to the day of the move. I will absolutely use them again! Nick, Brian and Al were so fast, careful and friendly! Definitely a great company to use.

It was easy to book. Price was reasonable. The entire move was done in 2 hours. Nick was very professional and good with communicating. I would definitely use them again in the future.

I moved with them again on July 15^th and while Nick was super fast, his partner was pretty slow. The stairwell in my old building is horrible and small and my couch got annhilated. They also left behind my 4ft long beautiful painting, the most precious thing I owned, by the trash room in my building. I hunted it down and another tenant in the building took it in, and now I’m trying to get it back. Otherwise they were very nice to work with.

We recently hired Four A’s movers to help us move in Jersey City. Nick and his crew member were curteous and got the job done in 2.5 hours.
Pros
— Reasonable rates
— Responsive in communication prior to the move
— Punctual
— Efficient and move swiftly
— Polite, friendly and professional
— If you emphasize fragile pieces, they make great effort to protect the furniture
Cons
— They don’t wrap your furnitures up unless you explicitly tell them. To be fair, they do ask so don’t assume it’s standard procedure.
I would recommend them and use them again.

4 A’s did a great job with my move (pretty simple studio apartment).
Although they accidentally sent a 3-​man crew when I had scheduled 2, they still charged me the rate for a 2-​man crew, which was nice.
The guys were nice and got the job done quickly even though they had had a long day before, and I had no issues getting the certificate of deposit that my building needed.
Overall, good job and not too expensive, so will be using them again for my next move!

Called a few places, but found it hard finding a mover at short notice in NYC. One place quoted me $ 1,200 minimum!
I called Four A’s after seeing some reviews on Unilocal and quickly got a booking no fuss. They managed to get a Certificate of Insurance sorted for the building we were moving into.
On the day, they were a little early, but very friendly and curteous. No mucking around, even though they were paid by the hour. Getting the job done as quick as possible. Careful with delicate furniture, the elevator was broken on the day we were moving out, but they managed to get everything down stairs super quick.
They have no hidden costs, pay by the hour and you get everything. Elevator or not.
Thanks to Nick and the team, did a great job and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

We had an overall very positive experience with Four A’s Movers. We had a move from two apartments into one and the two guys showed up right on time with all the right stuff. They did a diligent job of securely packing everything and were timely and efficient during the moving process. Absolutely no complaints here.
The only issues we did have were with the Certificates of Insurance. We needed three – one for each apartment and they messed up four times on the one for my apartment. These were pretty sloppy mistakes, as the specifications were quite simple. It wasted both my time and my apartment manager’s time getting it straight.
However, it was finally done correctly and the price is good, so I would recommend this company for your move. They also rounded down on the price for time – our jaws dropped at this! Honestly, they were fantastic movers and just need to get more organized. They are new and working out the kinks, but they did a great job on the actual move.

The only thing that went right with my ex and I breaking up.
Needless to say I was in a not so pleasant mindset. Just was using a moving service because all this was totally last minute.
Called and set a time for them to be there for 1PM. At 12:30 something I saw a truck outside, I thought to myself … are they already here? Went out and was greeted by three young men. Extremely pleasant and mild mannered they were.
They were extremely organised and took great care of my items. Wrapped properly and treated like how I would treat them.
Got to my new place, 3 story building so no elevator. They carefully negotiated the stairs and hallway to get everything upstairs. Carried everything upstairs and laid it out exactly how I wanted. Even to the millimeter where I wanted the items to be. (my OCD kicked in).
I highly highly highly recommend these moving guys. If their boss reads this, sir or ma’am, you have something really special.
Without a doubt, looking back at that day I left her. These guys Four A’s, not sure if it Four «Amigos’, or ‘Amazings» or what have you …
All I can say about these guys, that that their service, is.
«Awesome.»
Thanks alot guys,
Damian
