We recently hired Mambo Movers for the third time. Upon booking the move we informed them of a couple of important aspects of the move. 1. The move was from a two story home to a four story home. They adjusted the rate due to this fact. 2. We have VERY heavy solid furniture. The guy who booked the move said "no problem." With this information we expected that movers would be sent that had experience with similar moves. Unfortunately, the team sent was ill prepared. Our furniture (expensive Restoration Hardware bedroom suites and Restoration Hardware Office Suites) sustained significant damage! There are scratches, nicks, and gauges on everything they moved. Our leather sofa (also RH) has several tears. In additional to the furniture damage our brand new home sustain damage as well. The new wood railings were scratch and chipped in various locations. Walls and stairs scuffed through out the entire house. The cost of the damage to our property far exceeds the cost for these movers. I initially felt bad for the guys because yes the items were heavy but they should have been prepared or not accepted the job. Now as I look at all the nicks, scuffs, and damage I'm disgusted and pissed that such carelessness took place with this move. If you have furniture/belongs of significant value do not hire these guys. They are good for IKEA type furniture moves! read more

I used Mambo for my last move. One thing I can say is they were SUPER fast. Granted, I only moved about a block, but they finished the job in an hour and a half and my old apartment was a 4th floor walkup. I was a little skeptical because frankly they looked rather scrawny, but they moved those boxes. I'd never used movers before and it was totally worth the money, which I didnt think was that bad to begin with. They claim to us furniture blankets, but they didn't really for me. They dropped an end table off the cart they were using and didn't think I noticed. I later realized it and my coffee table were both scratched. The coffee table looked like it was drug along a wall and it was mostly paint transfer and came off so I didn't bother to complain. They weren't overly friendly, but they did the job. They were nice enough to help me get my 37 in. TV into and out of its box. I'd consider hiring them again, but I'd also research some other options. read more

Thanks Mambo Movers, you delivered a professional and successful move. I actually left them a message on my first call requesting more info. I received a call within a reasonable time, by an individual capable of answering my questions and calculating a cost estimate. Having moved many times I was able to give him a reasonable picture of the move. They charge by the hour so your own prep work can save quite a bit. I was boxed and ready for them to just grab stuff and move (there's no way out of the pain in the neck prep work that makes us all hate moving)., In my panic mode I called 1 week prior to the move just to make sure my name was on a schedule somewhere (doesn't hurt to check). All was in order and I did receive my confirm call from them a day or 2 before (as expected). On my Wednesday move which was scheduled for around 9am, I got a call 30 or 45 minutes before saying they were 15 to 30 minutes behind schedule. It was handled professionally with good communication, and it really was, less than 30 minutes. They hustled, got the job done, I paid them, they left and I'm living happily ever after. I'm glad to recommend Mambo Movers and for me their website is completely accurate. read more

Just moved this week. Had the crew of Justin, Steve and Steve who were absolutely phenomenal! Even if you live in the suburbs of New Jersey they will come out to you. They where reasonably priced and their attitudes and genuine caring were remarkable. They made the move stress free even in the snow. Smart, respectful and non stop hard workers. Would hurt rely recommend!! read more

The Mambo guys moved me out of my apartment into my first home and I will be forever grateful! They were quick and efficient. I have a few pieces that are not easy to get in and out of a Philly row home but they did it and maintained their professionalism the whole time! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who asks! THANKS SO MUCH GUYS! read more

Down to earth people (I spoke with 3-4 different people)...all were friendly and extremely helpful. They showed up on time; worked hard and efficiently; pleasant and experienced; helped with taking a sectional apart and put it back together on the destination; reasonably priced; I would definitely use them again without question. read more

We hired Mambo Movers to help us out with our most recent move. They were awesome even with a minor hiccup that I blame the city for. I went and did the right thing and got a permit to block off parking on part of the block for the moving truck. I paid for the permit, went to the local PD and got signs, hung them 3 days in advance, and then the day comes and there are still cars there. We called the PD 3 times to try to get someone to come out and no one showed up so I guess I shouldn't do the right thing in the future. The Mambo guys shrugged it off and were able to block one of the alley streets next to us and move everything, it worked out well. They were fast, courteous, and definitely knew how to move a box or 2. They moved everything without breaking anything which is always a plus and did it all for under $500 and that included tip. If we need to move around the city again I will definitiely give these guys a call first. Just a FYI they don't do CC so make sure to get some cash, they let you know this when they get there. read more

I was seriously panicking prior to my move. I had never used a moving company before and was nervous about other people handling my furniture. Two of my friends had used mambo several times, so I decided to give them a call. Their price seemed reasonable, so I went with it. Setting up a time was a breeze and the guy that I spoke to on the phone (Mike?) was very nice. I made the mistake of reading all of the negative reviews on yelp the night before my move which spun me into a tizzy. What if they broke a peice of furniture? What if the lose a box? What if they take a two hour long lunch break while I'm waiting for my things?? I was seriously panicking. But boy was I wrong. These guys were amazing! Three guys showed up, tall, skinny guys. Before I even had a chance to give them the lay of the land two of the guys were running out the door with three huge boxes on their back!!! They seemed to have a good system going. One guy was in the truck, organizing/playing tetris with my things, while the other two zipped back and forth. They unloaded my entire one bedroom apartment in less than an hour and a half. We also had to make a second stop at my parents house for some more furniture. They showed up less than five minutes after I did and immediately got to work. They really took care of my things and couldn't have been more grateful! They were sure to strap down everything in the truck. They used blankets over my mattress so that it wouldn't get dirty and they handled my flat screen TV with care. They were able to unload the entire truck in an hour and a half... Overall, they were so speedy. It would have taken me days. They didn't take any breaks, no talking. Just five hours of hard work. George and his team made my move a breeze!!!!!! Overall amazing experience and I will definitely use Mambo again!!!!! read more

Let me add to everyone else's praise that this was the best move I've ever had -- and I've had a lot of moves! They were hours EARLY after calling twice to keep me updated on their progress (I had an afternoon move); got the whole move done so fast it came in under the 2-hour minimum; had no trouble of any kind with two sets of complicated directions; got to the house I was moving to even before I did (and we left at the same time); and were totally friendly, upbeat, hard-working, and cheerful the whole time. They didn't even complain when the move turned out to be much smaller than I originally indicated. I can't believe that a move could be so pleasant and easy. Mambo rocks! Give the dudes big tips for all the money they save you in time and hassle. read more

I used Mambo Movers twice and was very impressed with their work both times. They were quick and efficient with their truck-packing abilities. They helped take a lot of the stress off of moving. read more

I was surprised because most people I talked to said that they were happy with your services but we had a much worse experience than when we previously used Old City Movers and will use them again in the future. The movers were not very careful with our things. They broke a large picture frame of my roomate's in half. Instead of carrying my things down the stairs they threw it out of the second floor window, without regard to what was inside the bags and the person waiting to catch the things being thrown down wasn't trying very hard to catch everything. After having thrown things out the window they never closed it and left it wide open which i did not realize until I went back the next day to clean. They also left things behind which had fallen on the floor while moving and didn't bother to pick them up and get them on the truck. They also failed to move a few baskets of things from my roomates room. Luckily my roommate and I went back to clean the next day but had we not these things would have just been left behind. Considering most of their business is based on recommendations, I have not been shy about telling everyone I know to use Old City and not mambo next time they move. very disappointed read more

Mambo moved us out of our 1 BR apartment last weekend. The crew was the best group to work with I've ever met! They were careful, courteous, and worked hard to get us out of our apartment. They had us out within 40 minutes and into a new unit within 20 minutes. If you use these guys, they won't waste your time, and they deserve a huge tip! read more

Update -- I booked Mambo again for a move from Philly to New York, based on the very positive experience I had with them earlier. Once again, the team (Dan, Phil, and Ben) was terrific -- they were courteous, professional, and incredibly efficient. They showed up at 9:00 AM at my U-Haul storage unit, and by 12:55 PM they had moved all my things into my new New York apartment (yes, that includes the drive between Philly and New York!). There was a small mishap with a broken lamp shade, but they discounted the final price to make up for it. I've been recommending Mambo to friends in Philly and will continue to do so! read more

Wow, I just spoke to the rudest person ever at this company. I e-mailed them with all the details, they contacted me back saying they needed more information. When I got them on the phone, they asked all the questions I'd answered in the e-mails then they proceeded to quote the most insane quote I've ever heard! They were claiming it takes over 3.5 hours to get from Philadelphia to New York (during NOT rush hour), this is such a lie. When I tried to ask him to explain why it takes so long to drive a mini-van (not even a truck) from Philly to New York, he said that is what it takes them and he hung up on me. Just like that! Wow, talk about a poorly managed business! read more

I recently spoke with Mambo movers over the phone to get some information regarding my upcoming move. The person I spoke to over the phone was incredibly rude...he was very short with me and refused to give me a rough quote. Thanks to this rude person I will never use this company. read more

These guys and gals are Awesome! My wife and I have moved many times and tMambo is the Best! We moved from an apartment in Center City to one in Cherry Hill, Nj. The packers came the day before the move. They introduced themselves by name, shook hands and treated us as customers the whole time. They were pleasant, efficient and careful. The movers arrived on time, introduced themselves by name and went to work. Having lived in this apartment for many years, we accumulated more than we realized, but they were able to get everything on the truck. Many pieces were shrink wrapped for protection and they were careful in loading and unloading. They placed our furniture in the places we requested - unlike many movers we had used in the past - and did not leave until we were completely satisfied. Their price was fair, especially considering their high quality work. Highly Recommended! read more

Moving is stressful, but Mambo makes it manageable. From the moment I called and reserved service, these guys were so great. They were courteous, efficient and worth every penny. They arrived as soon as they said they would, worked fast but carefully and they made my move super easy. read more

Love this company, everything went well. The guys were friendly and patient and careful. Will use them again ....and soon. Thanks Mambo Movers read more

Mambo did a great job. They were on time, didn't milk the clock, and hustled. Our two and a half bedroom move took four hours. No damage, the truck was packed well. The guys were cool too. read more

Sam T, , Gerald and Alex were wonderful from Mambo! From South Jersey to Mainline.. didn't miss a beat! Got started right away. Friendly, funny and nice to the poodle. rates reasonable. This was my first time using movers and glad we used them. read more

LOVE! Easiest move I've ever had!!! It only took about an hour. They were all super nice, very cost effective and on time. I'm really surprised by the negative reviews. read more

Great movers, polite, professional and very efficient. Would highly recommend this company.

Jim, Paul and Alexi arrived promptly and we're some of the nicest guys I've met. They quickly and professionally began to pack the truck, while maintaining their friendly air. They packed and moved effectively and efficiently taking a little less than 2 hours. Mambo Movers made moving a breeze and if I ever need moving services again they're my first choice. read more

You can never really know the joy of moving until these guys have moved you! I've used them twice (hopefully I won't need them again) and they were even better the second time around than I remembered. They are punctual, courteous, FAST! No dilly-dallying around to stretch out the hourly rate. They're funny, efficient and I've never had anything broken. They even put my bed back together for me after we had to saw the box spring to get it up the stairs. These guys are awesome and worth every penny! read more

This was my 2nd move in the past few years and both times I used Mambo Movers. On both occasions the movers were super polite and friendly and super strong!! Prices are totally reasonable and the movers work super fast but are very careful with the furniture, floors and walls! I recommend Mambo Movers to everyone and wouldn't think of moving without them! read more

I was so happy with my experience with Mambo Movers. I was scheduled between 9:00-9:30. They called me at 8:40 to let me know they were on the way, and by 8:50 my stuff was already on its way out the door. I really liked that all 3 guys introduced themselves before they got working. They were fast, careful, and friendly. When we got to the new place they put everything where I wanted it, and put my bed together for me. I can't say enough good things about them! read more

Wow! Totally blown away with how impressive, professional, quick, efficient, and courteous these guys were! They completed a move with tons of boxes and furniture from South Philly to Marlton in less than two and a half hours including travel! Not to mention it was less than 10 degrees outside. I highly recommend! read more

These guys were amazing!! Last Monday moved me out of my 3rd floor apartment and right in to my new place as quick as can be! (2.5 hrs) Not to mention, they were so super nice, friendly, fun to talk to! Would definitely recommend to everyone. Guys- if you're reading this... feel free to stop by for the housewarming! :) read more

Stellar job. They moved about 60 boxes and a 2br apt worth of furniture in about 80 minutes. No breaks, no scratches. Friendly, honest, punctual. I highly recommend these guys read more

We have used Mambo twice without issue, both moving into an apartment, and moving out of an apartment, both times on the 3rd floor without an elevator. Clear communication/expectations, showed up within agreed window of time, and overall their staff has been very friendly, efficient, careful with our items, and helpful. Thanks guys - highly recommended! read more

Mambo movers moved my daughter yesterday from her Center City apartment out to our suburban home. I generally don't write reviews (and Mambo Movers did not request one unlike so many other companies), but we couldn't have been happier with them and that's why I'm writing this review. Thank you to our excellent movers: Bill, Kevin, and Ellis! We were concerned about exactly when they would arrive, because unlike other companies, there was no contract (just verbal confirmation over the phone), maybe because it was a smaller move. We had reserved the building's freight elevator for 9 AM, and to our pleasant surprise, our Mambo Movers team actually arrived a few minutes earlier, which was great for us. We breathed a sigh of relief when they entered the apartment: they were friendly, polite, efficient, and quickly emptied out the apartment in no time. We were convinced that a sofa would not fit through a narrow, non-standard door of our house and would have to be stored in a shed. However, they patiently removed the legs from it and had my husband remove a door, which was not a big deal for him to do. They were able to fit it through the door and place it in our house, which was our preference, but we wouldn't have attempted it without their encouragement. We definitely will hire them again, and we were so glad we gave them a try, after receiving a recommendation from someone else. Moving is never fun, but they made it about as easy as possible. Thanks again to our team! read more

My husband and I decided to support fellow artists when selecting movers and went with Mambo over all the other companies we called. Based on reviews we read, we expected them to be fairly priced, fast, and nice. They were all that and more. All of our furniture, from the lightest to the heaviest piece was moved with care and speed - no damage, extra charges, or complaints/grumbling. I highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for movers and, if we need movers in the future, will use them again. read more

So cute, so fast, so professional. Sitting on my porch, drinking coffee and watching them do their thing took the edge off the sadness of leaving Philly. read more

sunday morning move - from a large studio apartment down the street and around the corner to my new trinity. they had been recommended by one of my sisters and some friends. they were great - i had more stuff than they thought (sorry), and wasn't taking my couch other than to the curb. in and out in about 3 hours, my bed was together, stuff from the basement stacked again in the basement, room to move in all the rooms. the last time i moved i vowed that i wouldn't use family or friends ever again, 'cause i'm an adult and it's too much trouble, but now i won't use anyone but Mambo. read more

this company went way above and beyond, squeezing furniture into a freight elevator that was not meant for furniture, and at one point physcially carrying a monsterous leather sofe up 9 flights of stairs when they couldn't get it in the elevator! One peice was slightly damaged, and was professionally repaired and returned in two days! Best moving experience I have ever had - use these guys! read more

I signed up for Yelp just to write this review. These guys are the best. They might be a little more expensive than some of the other services I researched but I went with them because of the in-person recommendations and online reviews. They were probably done in half the time it would have taken another company. They had my entire previous apartment cleared in an hour. Nothing broken, scratched, etc. These guys really are the best -- believe what you hear. read more

I scheduled Mambo Movers to help me move from my one bedroom apt on the top floor of small apartment building with no elevator and they were AWESOME! They showed up on time, very polite and courteous. There was no damage incurred (which is great because I have a lot of old antique furniture) and they performed a solid job in an expedited manner. I could not have been more pleased! read more

Wow! moving was never so effortless! Mambo promised "three strapping guys" and did they ever deliver. Everything was moved exactly as they promised and in a timely manner. These guys were so honest that they subtracted 10 minutes from the total time because they grabbed coffee en route. How awesome is that? The guys were also wonderfully friendly and courteous - tip them!!! read more

I've used Mambo twice to move in center city and south Philly. They arrived pretty much on time both instances, and overall, they did a fantastic job. They were nice, friendly dudes and worked really fast. During the first move, the bed didn't fit through the door, so they hoisted it through the bedroom window, no problem. However, I'm docking them a couple of stars for shrieking like middle school boys, "EWWWW GROSS!!" when they found something personal left out by ACCIDENT during the second move. When I asked them what was wrong, they tried to cover but unsuccessfully. According to Mambo's website, "The privacy of the customer is a corner stone of Mambo's approach to absolutely every job they do." I would have to disagree from my experience. Whatever, I still gave them a great tip, the move was super fast. read more

Used Mambo to simply move my items from 3rd floor to a UHaul, best money ever spent! Saved me some misery, guys were courteous, on time, and careful with my items. Moved a studio in less than an hour! read more
