TL;DR: For the really important stuff, trust these guys…read more Longer version: Was in Ithaca for a family memorial service; thus the ceramics and pottery we were shipping back to California had a great deal of value to us. How do you ship several pounds of bowls, ceramic art and sculptures? Could have used the Post Office, UPS Store, etc...and probably end up with a box of fragments when it arrived. Found Uncle Marty's on Yelp, and was encouraged by the reviews, so we drove the rental with a trunk full of ceramics there. Staff was very understanding, kind, and friendly. At the same time, while they were gentle on the items and very mindful of how to pack them, they were also very conscious of the cost implications, and worked through several different options to find the right number of boxes (and the right sizes) to ship off the items to two different locations (daughter in Chicago, us back in California). While it didn't end up being inexpensive (not Uncle Marty's fault...FedEx ain't never been the cheapest), I am pleased that every single item arrived perfectly packed, safe, and undamaged. I'm not sure if I'll ever find myself again needing to ship things from upstate New York, but if I do I know where I'll go.

I stopped here recently because I used to ship via DHL from my office, but campus is closed and I'm…read morenow not able to schedule a pick-up from the same location. I have a DHL account I've used for charging the cost of shipments; however, the person I spoke with at the front desk of Uncle Marty's while trying to ship out my parcel said that they have a specific retail export account number that all shipments get assigned to when being scheduled for pick-up... so they can't use alternative DHL accounts for charging shipments. When I offered to pay for the shipment with my procurement card, that seemed to be fine... until I inquired further about whether or not duties/fees could be charged to that same procurement card upon their arrival at the destination processing facility (I was shipping to Tanzania, and this is an easy process when shipping via your own DHL account). I've typically ensured our office - as the sender - makes payment on duties/fees for a parcel, at least within the last couple years (it expedites the delivery, and many international institutions in the developing world don't have the easily accessible means to pay for duties/fees on an item that's being provided to them as a donation). Since I wasn't able to ensure that duties/fees would be paid by me/my procurement card as the sender - and I couldn't use my own DHL account - I ended up leaving, parcel in-hand, without being able to get it processed and sent out via Uncle Marty's. I was also able to leave with a single plastic waybill packet, as well as a paper waybill... after specifically requesting both items (more than once). While DHL has certainly preferred folks go through their electronic scheduling system in recent years, that has proven to sometimes be problematic when shipping to certain parts of the world (given the need for indicating villages / areas that aren't especially known)... so I like to have a couple paper waybills handy, and I *HAVE* been able to ship out with paper waybills (i.e. without DHL rejecting the parcel because of a paper waybill) without issue. In the beginning of working from home back in March, I had gone to the Pack & Ship store that used to be on the corner of the Commons to ship out an identical parcel. There? No issues whatsoever (and yes, I used a paper waybill for that parcel). But that store is closed now, so I opted to try Uncle Marty's. Unfortunately, the process isn't as easy here as it was at the store on the Commons (which was so much easier because I was just able to use my DHL account number for any / all charges). TL;DR The explanation above probably includes more complicating factors than most shipments being sent out via Uncle Marty's, but it was my experience. The guy I spoke with at the desk was certainly friendly and answered my questions helpfully (hence the rating), but it's important to know the complicating factors of trying to use your own DHL account, etc.

From what I know, I believe this is a family business and it shows. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The movers were polite and worked very hard. It also seems that the owner is very hands on which is very hard to find with some companies. When we moved we didn't have any breakage but, we did purchase insurance just in case. As with any moving company we knew the risks and wanted to protect ourselves but the guys did a great job with no breakage! The rates were also very reasonable. I highly recommend this company for your next move, you won't be disappointed!

While it is true that $80 an hour for two guys seems a little pricey, they were well worth it and I would have paid more. I booked them for 3 hours figuring with the amount of stuff I had it would take at least that long with me starting to load the truck with three other people before they even arrived. After they did get there I stepped out of the way, they finished loading my truck followed me to my new house and had the entire thing unloaded for a total time of just under two hours. This was the best money I have spent in a long time as moving sucks but with these guys I didn't really have to do too much. I thank you Mike and Denny for a job well done

We had a very small furniture move - a dining table, 6 chairs and sideboard - to be moved from…read moreBinghamton, NY to Riverdale, NY. We agreed to the outrageous moving fee since we were on a tight time frame, and paid an additional amount to have the move insured. On the day of the move, the movers attempted to detach the legs from the table, but were not able to remove all four. They supposedly 'reattached' them and loaded the table top-side-down in the truck. Fine. I had to stay in Binghamton with my mother who was ill at the time, so my husband drove back to our apartment for the load-in. Admittedly, he (my husband) should have checked the table a bit better when it arrived. It was not scratched or broken, but it was not reassembled properly by the moving team and is leaning and 'sways' with even the slightest touch. I realized this as soon as I arrived home two days later and we attempted to call the moving company. This was an expensive, hand-crafted, solid oak table and has never swayed in its life. Over the past three weeks, we have attempted to contact the movers several times for them to arrange for the table to be repaired - honestly all it needs is for the screw sites to be filled and redrilled properly. And we paid for the insurance to cover this type of repair! We have been understanding that these things can happen - hence getting insurance - but it is absolutely impossible to reach Crew4 once they have your money. They answered the phone once in these three weeks, heard our concerns and request for repair, but have not followed up with us after several more attempts to contact them. I have waited nearly a month for them to do the right thing resolve this issue, but it is to no avail. I don't enjoy leaving 1-star reviews, but I am hoping this will help others to avoid using such an unprofessional company.

Worst place ever…read more Initially the staff was indifferent to my arrival to check out the reserved vehicle. Finally one man got me checked out after a lot of waiting around. The restroom in the UHaul facility was a health hazard! It was completely disgusting, dirty and there was no toilet paper. The staff actually seemed to be quietly laughing when I or my wife communicated these issues. The truck I rented had completely torn drivers seat, the steering wheel was worn out and very disgusting to even touch. The parking brake release was broken. Total safety hazard: the low beam headlights were extremely dim. Very hard to drive at night, and unsafe. The high beams: driver-side light didn't work at all, and the other point crookedly up at the sky. Totally unusable. The rear view mirrors were impossible to adjust. The staff was completely unresponsive to any comments or suggestions - so first change: new staff. This is the single worst transaction I have ever encountered!
