Extremely nice only on the phone, BUT Extremely unprofessional otherwise. First off, two hours late. 1. ZERO Tools: - Brought a single screw driver to do a job, had to borrow a power drill myself from a neighbor, then made this huge hole: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tvdfy9eb9f47ftq/13898712_1396813383667156_137743997_o.jpg?dl=0 2. ZERO protection: -- Didn't use any covers for any of furnitures, left scratches all over (https://www.dropbox.com/s/92zezayy1rddlhb/IMG_3575.JPG?dl=0) -- shattered one of the bed storage drawer 3. ZERO Knowledge of ikea furnitures (they claimed they know) -- re-assembled to just be done so none of the storage drawers fit, found out after they left and had to redo the whole thing myself (https://www.dropbox.com/s/26g000jxmyjynd9/13902193_1396813297000498_1835366601_o.jpg?dl=0) 4. Three people came, two people take rest while one person assembles the furniture. Probably to extend the time. They charge hourly. 5. Hiding the mistakes -- Placed the toe side of the bed to the wall side (opposite direction) to hide yet another scratches, had to turn it around myself after they left 6. Found out all of the above issues after they left & made the payment, so I called and texted them and avoided my call. This is the main reason I'm leaving a review. THEY DO NOT KNOW MOVING. read more

Bright Movers helped me move from the East Village to Clinton Hill. I moved from a 4th floor walkup to a 2nd floor apartment. They were super friendly (AJ is awesome), punctual, fast, careful, and reasonably priced. Couldn't really ask for more in movers. Use em! read more

Hire these guys for your next move--they are great! AJ and three of his workers helped me move across Manhattan in to a 5th floor walkup. I had SO much stuff and they moved it all in less than three hours. Despite my ridiculous amount of heavy boxes and a hot steamy day, they had great spirits and actually made my move fun! Not to mention, they are super affordable and efficient. I enjoyed their company and I am so glad that I was recommended to them by Rob the Mover. Hire them and you won't be disappointed! read more

AJ and Bright Movers were great for a move from Woodlawn to northern Westchester County. AJ was extremely responsive and patient, even after the move date switched a few times. Really nice guys. And their prices can't be beat! Highly recommend. read more

Aj and his nephew were really great and super accommodating. Rob the mover recommended Aj and i'm really glad he did! I had a seamless transition from Manhattan to Brooklyn thanks to these guys. read more

5 stars just isn't enough to exclaim how great and awesome these guys are. 1st off Aj is super sweet and friendly, he helped me with a furniture move during the first big snow storm of the year, and did I mention that I was in labor. My due date was easing up and I knew that I was cutting it close, but AJ squeezed me in last minute. He did a pick up and delivery all while checking on me while I was in the hospital, making sure that my baby and I were okay. He was able to actually lighten the pain of my contractions (which I assure you wassn't an easy task) with his jokes about how the baby was taking her time to come out because of the snow storm. He checked on my little one and I throughout my entire stay at the hospital. He made what could have been a disaster move easy as pie. My brothers helped him to complete the move, and he even texted me BEFORE they did to let me know of the seamless transition. When in labor and preparing to deliver a baby moving your furniture is the last thing on your mind. I can't stress how at ease he made me feel. I have warm nostalgic feelings as I recall the day my life changed forever. Aj will forever be etched in the memory of the day my baby was born. THANK YOU AJ! ---I gave birth to a healthy baby girl 1/24/2015--- I promised I would give a review it took me 5 months to get acclimated but I made it ^__^ read more

My experience with AJ and his company Bright Movers located at 466 East 10th Street NY NY, was the nightmare from HELL!! The owner, AJ told me he had insurance when he came to my house to provide me with a moving estimate. Unfortunately, On the same day of my move AJ told me his insurance didn't go through (now I know why!) and didn't have any insurance, but was still in the process of getting new insurance, and didn't have any on the day of my move, which was a nightmare! Not having insurance, AJ sent me a "promissory" email stating that he would be responsible and pay for any and all damages of my property, including any and all damages in the old and new building incurred by him and his movers, which he obviously didn't keep!!! Not only did he not have insurance, but was unprepared and showed up with a small 16 foot truck to move my 2 bedroom Apartment. He and his crew didn't even have the proper blankets nor materials to wrap and protect my antique furniture, and TV, which they broke & destroyed (irreplaceable). They dropped and broke my 42 inch color flatscreen TV, they either lost or stole my Verizon cable box (which I have to pay for). They ripped the new wallpaper in the building I moved into, which I had to pay. I called AJ and briefly told him about all my damages, and he rushed me off the phone and said he couldn't talk because he was busy doing a move and would call me back and never did!!! I left AJ numerous VM and text messages to no avail. I'm going to try and post photos of all the damages to all my property by Bright Moving Company, the moving company from HELL!!! But I'm not sure I'll be able to upload to post. However, I paid a lot of money to AJ and his unprofessional Movers in addition to having a lot in damages, which AJ never accepted responsibility for. I hope after reading my post you won't fall a VICTIM to A.J. And his moving company from HELL!!! Bright Movers. read more

These guys are really great. I had a tricky situation moving a sofa from midtown to west vill, and had already accidentally antagonized a super at the prior building the day before with two guys who weren't experienced enough, so I had to quickly make new arrangements at 5pm for a 10am pick up the next morning. My friend suggested Bright Movers, and when I called AJ answered immediately, gave me a quote by return email and was helpful and courteous throughout. His rate was very reasonable especially as the second leg of the delivery was a 6th floor walkup. He and his nephew were very pleasant to deal with and I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone. read more

10 Stars!!! Professional, reliable, and efficient. If you are moving or need anything moved please look no further. I contacted AJ based on his rating and now I too vouch for this. I needed to coordinate a move of very high value items(s) within NY while physically being in California. You can imagine the stress and concern. Even though communications were by phone and email his responses were prompt and precise. I might add the cost is quite reasonable. I am in Manhattan several times a year for work and frequently need reliable movers for tranport of important/high value articles and I am so grateful to have made contact with AJ. He is my go-to guy for sure!!! I'd recommend him without hesitation. AJ, I just wish you would branch out to California...sure could use your help out here. read more

We used Bright Movers today to move my son from 34th St. Elevator building To a First Ave. one floor walk up. AJ and his men were fabulous. They were courteous, efficient and very careful. Everything was wrapped , even the mattress went into a large plastic mattress cover. They were reasonably priced. I will definitely use him again. read more

After contacting many movers for quotes, I decided to go with Bright Movers because of their great Yelp reviews and the fair quote I received for my 1 bedroom move. They moved me out of my old apartment and into a new in a 3rd floor walk-up on Sunday, Nov 1st, and I'm beyond happy with the job that he and his worker did!!! Sunday was the NYC Marathon, so I was a little nervous about street closures and traffic since I was moving from east to west. Despite some traffic en route to my old apartment, the job was done quickly and efficiently. (I did see a review for a broken table written right before I was to use Bright, which is unfortunate. But my reaction is, if you're moving something very valuable, wouldn't you want to wrap it yourself and let a mover know to be EXTRA careful with it?). They used blankets with my furniture, but I was sure to wrap up pictures and mirrors myself beforehand cause better safe than sorry no matter who you use! Anyway, I hope I don't have to move again for a long time, but when I do, I will definitely use AJ and Bright Movers again and recommend them to everyone!! read more

I booked AJ last minute for a job and immediately noticed that he was the friendliest and easiest to work with. On top of that his rates were still below what everyone quoted. Our job involved moving very heavy yet very delicate objects. Aj arrived early and was extremely courteous and friendly. He moved every object into the truck with the care they required and also extremely quickly. We had a last minute change of plans and added an extra stop where we took items out of the truck and added some, also stopping along the way to take out cash- AJ was extremely Accommodating and easy going and gave us no trouble for our change of plan. I was so thrilled with how this experience went. AJ is a fantastic guy and a great mover. I have no complaints and would recommend him to anyone for any job. read more

I used Bright Movers in late August to move apartments within Manhattan. I had read all the rave reviews on Yelp and decided to give AJ a call. He was really nice, extremely professional and was able to squeeze me in during a busy time (end of the month). On moving day, his movers came on time (They were even a few minutes early! I was so impressed!) and they finished the entire job in under an hour. The three movers were very positive, hard-working and trustworthy. They were so careful with my belongings and everything made it to my new apartment in perfect condition. I will be recommending AJ and his company to EVERYONE I know. It's so nice to work with friendly, punctual, diligent and professional people. Thanks, AJ! You made a moving a less-stressful experience and you run a solid, reputable company. You're the best! read more

Make that 5 plus. Bright Movers are awesome. Lamont & Anthony were not only fast and efficient but friendly and helpful-above and beyond their job duties. No one likes moving, but these guys will make it easier and maybe even make you smile! Hire them! read more

HORRIBLE experience. AJ was extremely unprofessional and impossible to deal with. First he texted every hour or so continuously pushing my roommates and my moving time back, then he went ghost. HOURS later (almost midnight), he said that he would arrive in thirty minutes. Since it was so late, my roommates and I personally did a lot of the moving ourselves to save time. After finally moving into my new apartment at 6 am, I realized one of my bags went missing. AJ and his team likely left it outside, mistaking it for trash. I asked about filing a lost claim and he denied that his team had any part in it and was beyond rude and unaccommodating. read more

Although I frequently check Yelp for reviews, this is the first time I have ever posted one. However, AJ and his nephew were so wonderful, I cannot recommend them enough. Bright Movers was recommended to me by my sister and her boyfriend. They moved me from Hoboken to the East Village, and it was seamless. From the very beginning, AJ was honest and upfront about the logistics and the cost. His prices are incomparable compared to other services. He is efficient and worked quickly. As a young woman planning a move into the city alone, it can be a bit nerve racking. In addition to being great movers, AJ and his nephew are honest, kind and trustworthy people. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Super friendly and hard workers. Came on short notice and helped move and load our truck. Would definitely recommend AJ and his crew!

Do NOT hire these movers!!!! They were supposed to move my friend and then us. They showed up five hours late. Not to mention during the time when they were 5hrs late they were not picking up their phone. Then we found out that they accidentally threw out one of our bags and they refused to admit that they did and would not file a claim for it. They were extremely unprofessional and was one of the worst things I've experienced. read more

I recently had to move some wall-mounted aluminum shelving and some freestanding shelving from mid-town Manhattan to Brooklyn. Rob the Mover recommended Bright Movers to me. AJ was friendly and professional. I expressed my concern about the aluminum shelving. It had a soft finish and could scratch easily. AJ and his partner babied it and there wasn't a single scratch. They also had to take apart the freestanding shelving and ended up circling the block before I got their call that they had arrived. Despite this, they didn't up their price, a flat rate that was very reasonable. Moving anything is stressful and from the moment I talked to AJ to the time the move was finished, I felt I was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Great moving company for small moves! Very quick, efficient, and they give you the estimated time of delivery whenever you need it. Great people, great moving. recommend it to anyone read more

Bright movers are excellent! AJ took the last minute job without hesitation over the weekend and their price is unbeatable. My furniture got dissembled carefully and every piece got wrapped up and taken good care of. It took them long time driving from Manhattan to Westhcester at night, but AJ and his staff had no complaints. They are professional, punctual and fantastic! They are the best movers I've ever had! read more

So, this is updated after the move actually happened. I had a pretty good experience, despite the move time being pushed back a few times. I was okay with the first couple of times because I was still packing, but I did want to be on the road before rush hour, which didn't happen, but AJ's guys are traffic gods because they got to my new location pretty fast even with the traffic, and AJ offered to give me a discounted rate, should the move go beyond our discussed 3 hours (It didn't-these guys were fast!). AJ's guys were AMAZING!! They were super friendly, and they had a strategy, and they executed fast. Its so crazy, cuz I moved from an elevator building to a 1st floor walk-up. Which isn't too bad, compared to some people, but still, elevator to stairs, especially for bulky items, never a good time. These guys were LIGHTENING FAST going up the stairs and they even gave me some pretty good placement advice of my bookshelf in the new place, which I followed. The guys are helpful, fast, freakin awesome! I would definitely recommend, and I have. read more

AJ Bright and his team were outstanding in every respect. From the first time we contacted AJ through the completion of the move, he was available and responsive, by telephone, email, and text. He responded to our questions and assured us that his men would be there when the move was scheduled. The men were there on time, after calling ahead to inform us they were on the way. They took care with each item and quickly, but carefully moved three rooms of gear down two flights of stairs and into their truck, which they packed expertly. The move was from 26th and Third to 60th and Metropolitan Avenue in Queens. They got there before we did and moved everything in faster than we had expected, but still without a nick or bump. Before we left Third Avenue, AJ stopped by to make sure all was going well. He did not need to do so because his men knew what they were doing, but we appreciated his personal interest. We could not recommend AJ Bright more highly. read more
