Slattery Moving & Storage

Not only were they late to arrive on the day of the move, when I voiced my displeasure to the owner, he threatened to cancel the job entirely.
During the move they also broke and/​or damaged items.
Moving can be a high-​stress event for those being moved. This ******* made it far worse than it had to be.
Note: Most of the positive reviews are from Unilocalers with minimal Unilocal.Does that sound fishy to you?
Owner: «Are you sure that you reviewed the right moving company; as I would never treat a client in that manner.»
Right company, absolutely. I don’t know who you are, but I do know how the owner treated me, and it was very, very poorly.

Moving a home we’ve lived in for 14 years within a two week time frame was a daunting event… Slattery’s professionalism from the initial quote to moving in the last box was seamless and stressless.
Better than that, amidst the chaos and turmoil of a move they provided a reliable and enjoyable experience that put mine and my husband’s minds at ease.
While we have zero plans of moving anytime soon, we would recommend them again and again!

Performed above my expectations to say the least.
I hired Slattery Moving to help me move some furniture from one local town to another. Although they did not arrive until the end of the provided window, the contact I had at this company called me promptly in the beginning of the window to inform me of the delays they were experiencing. The guys who showed up were awesome. Very professional, courteous, well presented and had a good sense of humor. They took their time wrapping my furniture and ensured it was safe in their truck for the trip. The entire job took way less time than I expected it to and they took care of an additional request free of charge. Well priced, flat rate. Compared cost with other moving companies in the area, the cost given here was more than fair, other companies attempted to haggle with me which I found quite unprofessional. These guys have been around for a long time and it shows. Do not second guess using them, you will not regret it.

I wouldn’t use this moving company again. They do not put the customer first. They put their own ways of making money first which I understand, it’s a business, but at a great inconvenience to the customer, which is not the way to do business. I was given a quote for price and the date of delivery to another state, and I said okay and signed the contract. From the time my stuff was picked up until the time I received my stuff would be approximately 10 days, I was not thrilled-​but okay with that. It’s is what it is.
TWO days before my giant move to another state they called me and told me my stuff would be picked up and it would not be delivered until 17 days later!!! WHAT?! AN EXTRA WEEK WITHOUT MY STUFF? When you have none of your things, no bed, none of your belongings and you’re staying with friends/​hotel THIS is a giant inconvenience. They treated it as no big deal and were rude and nasty when I questioned this. What they ended up doing was squeezing in another move just right before mine (these folks «decided to bring more stuff» –what? As A moving company don’t you know how much stuff people are bringing? Isn’t that part of the contract and the deal?). I signed a lease and paid extra to have the house ready. Which was a complete waste since it took almost 3 weeks to get my stuff. 3 weeks!!!
They pushed my delivery date back because we had to «fill a new truck». This was due to Slattery’s piss poor planning, and the fact that they want to make as much money as physically possible at the customers expense. What could I have done? My stuff was ready and boxed up and I was moving and I had tenants coming into my unit in five days. I had to leave. The moving company obviously knows this. They know you’re stuck. Finally on the way down to bring my stuff the truck broke down So ADD TWO more days until my stuff comes. (As a business shouldn’t you be ensuring that your trucks are in great shape and don’t have the risk to break down?) So all in all 20 days later I received my stuff. (Mind you the drive from where I moved to only takes by car 9.5 hours-​you can do it in a day!).
I also want to point out the movers who moved my stuff were great, but they kept flicking cigarette butts into my condo front lawn. Give your movers an ashtray!
I didn’t receive any monies back from said move (it cost over $ 3500 for move) nor did I receive an apology or anything of the sort. I would not use them for long moves. Perhaps in and around New York State yes but not for moves up and down the East Coast. The long move process seems to be very poorly planned (see other reviews) and can change at a moments notice if there’s a way to make more money. Do not use for long moves.

I hired Slattery for a move to the Bronx from Nyack. I loved that they gave a flat rate price and the sales and office people were super-​responsive with questions I had as the move-​day approached — I’d never hired a moving company before, so there were all sorts of things I didn’t know. When moving day came, the guys showed up on-​time, were informed, and when an issue came up, the operations manager was right on it and we came up with a solution that made everyone happy. The furniture and boxes was packed and handled very carefully and the crew had a real attention to the details of each item. My Nyack apartment had some tight corners and I remember how hard it was to navigate on the move in — but I didn’t hear a peep about it on my move out! These guys are ninjas.
The movers were experienced, respectful, sweet and communicative. They knew their job and were also super-​efficient. I was so happy with the result — it made my moving day go from potentially super-​stressful to relatively stress-​free! Some folks on here say they’re a little spendy, but I didn’t feel that way. It was worth every penny to feel I could trust my day with a company and have such a smooth experience. THANK YOU!!!

My grand parents used Slattery for their move. The fact that they gave a flat rate price was a huge selling point, anything on the hour is a gamble just not worth it. The office staff was nice and really patient with my grand parents. The move was scheduled in the morning and completed by mid afternoon. The movers were courteous and efficient. There was a scratch on one wall that we mentioned to the crew leader who noted it on the paperwork and informed the office. It was promptly repaired, courtesy of Slattery at no additional cost. That makes a 4 star move 5 star worthy. I’m sure my family will use them again.

A bit expensive but fast and friendly! Definitely worth a few extra bucks to know you’re getting reliable service.

I just moved and used Slattery. The move was from Montvale, NJ to Nyack. Laurence and Kate were really helpful. The price was reasonable and my furniture arrived in perfect condition. The movers themselves were courteous and quick. I would highly recommend this moving company to all.

I used Slattery moving company first from my home to their storage facility then to final destination in Sarasota, Florida. The first local move they were exemplary. I could not have said enough good things about the care in which they handled and packed my furniture, the friendly, courteous and accommodating staff and the highly efficient and expert handling… in that move they were a full five star.
The long distance move was as opposite and unsatisfactory as could be. To begin they moved me three days ahead… I wasn’t in Florida yet. The driver who was the foreman was indifferent and cavalier regarding the handling of my possessions. The workers they hired (on the spot) were hard working and fast but uncaring, taking direction from the foreman. They climbed on boxes marked fragile. A glass shelf was broken, several pieces furniture
scratched. None of the boxed, heavy mirrors or painting were unpacked which were packed in NY by Slattery. The insurance I took out had a $ 1,000 deductible. The insurance company said the damage wasn’t worth submitting a claim. Slattery’s compensation was to refund me the cost of the insurance premium.
My suggestion to anyone wanting to use Slattery is to keep it local where their expertise is… they are not equipped for long distance moves from my experience.
