I had an excellent experience with Anthony, Nick and Pedro at Man with a Van. We had a complicated office move with a pickup in the Flatiron district and then deliveries to seven different locations around New York City. The team was friendly, professional and quick. There were no mistakes with teh inventory and no damage to any items. Communicating with the office staff in the days and weeks before the move was also easy and efficient. Highly recommend! read more

I called two of the 212 numbers this afternoon and the voicemail answered that the company name was "One thousand..." something. So I tried the "800" number. That one is an ad for a "medical alert system" and it is answered by a Robo woman. A few minutes after deciding these are SCAM phone numbers, I received a call from a real man claiming to be "man with a van." He (correctly) stated that he had received a call from my number. However, when I attempted to explain my experience with three of the phone numbers on Man With A Van's website, he interrupted me twice and, on the second interruption said, "Listen, we've been doing this for 20 years -- Thank you," and hung up on me! Great customer relations! If he can't even pay attention on the phone to what a customer is saying, how is he - or his employees - going to pay attention to the customer's concerns about how their cherished belongings are handled? Not a good introduction to a company you're going to entrust your stuff with! Look elsewhere; there are plenty of others to choose from. read more

I had a pretty small move last year from midtown NYC (56th and 7th ave) to midtown west (48 and 10th ave). Studio to 1Br so was expecting it to be reasonably priced given the short commute and small apartment. It ended up taking over 4.5 hours which I thought was a bit ridiculous. They took a lot of time and one person was just on the phone for ~45 minutes. it took them ~60 minutes to drive 8 blocks and 4 ave - I called them a few times to ask where there were only that they were on the way. I probably got unlucky with my movers since a lot of others seem to have good experiences, but I wont' be using them again. read more

ALWAYS WATCH THESE GUYS!! They broke my table and brought it up last so I wouldn't notice. They had me sign the contract downstairs while they brought up the table SPECIFICALLY so I wouldn't notice. This is the first yelp review I've ever written. That's how upset I am with these people. Use other services. I've moved 3x in NYC and never had this problem with boutique moving services. read more

I had a last minute job and called Saturday morning, and within a few minutes Paul was able to book my move in minutes for the next day. Joey and Jason were super helpful moving very heavy old couches to the street for bulk pick up and also getting furniture to a new apartment swiftly. They problem solved every snag efficiently (doors needing to be removed and replaced, armoire legs needing to be screwed in tighter) and were able to complete the job quicker than expected. It helped they were friendly and COVID-appropriate as well. I will definitely use them if I need moving help in the future. read more

(Moved in May 2020) Very pleased with the prices and quality! Was cheaper than all other moving companies I got quotes from, and they did an amazing job without a hitch. Charged me an honest hourly rate and did a fast and efficient job. I had a fairly small move (less than a studios worth of stuff) so I appreciated their flexibility and ability for small moves. That said, the sprinter van has way more space than you'd think! Big thanks to Mike & his guys. read more

These guys are the bomb.com Never had an easier move. Kind people, efficient, and patient. Thank you Paul and team! read more

I had left a one-star scathing review, but it turns out, this is not the same company. So, to all people who want to use Man with a Van, watch out!!! There's another company at manwithavan.net who gave me the worst moving experience of my life, and who I'm probably going to end up in court with. Hopefully, this company sees this review and sues them for their obvious trademark violation, because they're riding off your good name, stealing your customers and destroying their stuff. This is exactly the customer confusion that trademark law is supposed to prevent. Please stop them from doing this. read more

Awesome movers! I have used them twice now- once on a more long distance move and then on a local move. The booking process is very easy, and the company is extremely responsive. Both times the teams were very efficient and hard working. They've got their packaging down to a science! They bring with them blankets for fragile items as well as mattress bags if needed. We've already referred them to a bunch of our friends and will definitely be using them again for our next move! read more

It's all about who you get. I've used Man with a Van service twice. The first time, it was spot on. The guys that came were ready to work and it was obvious they were busting their butts to get the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible. The second time was a much larger job. I had a scheduled a 2 man crew, but they sent a 3rd guy to make the job go quicker. However, for the majority of the job, one of the guys was on their phone. I was only charged the rate for a 2 man crew, so I shouldn't complain about a gift horse. Additionally, I had to stay the driving force the whole day to keep things moving. I admittedly have an exceptionally high "motivation standard" so maybe I was being unrealistic. Overall, I would still use their service, but do so knowing there is some variation in the workers. read more

Excellent moving service. They arrived on time, disassembled large furniture, carried everything down four flights of stairs, transported everything with their own van, reassembled the large furniture in our new apartment, and brought all the boxes in. I realized after the move that one box was missing - they did a search for it, found it, and dropped it off after another move within just a day of me asking. When I realized something was missing from the box, they gave me a full refund for the item! Excellent customer service on top of the quality of the actual moving service. Overall, the price was great for how completely it changed my moving experience. This was my first time hiring movers, and I'll never go back to the days of asking friends. I will hire Man with a Van again, and I recommend them to anyone in the NYC area. read more

My second time using this service, even in pandemic and a heat wave they were totally Professional, flexible and helpfu. I will use Man With a Van again! M Van Vliet read more

I had a move from New Rochelle to the Bronx with a moving window of 1:00pm-4:00pm. The movers came at 6:30pm and the move ended at 1:30am. The moving crew was very efficient and friendly however I did not appreciate the move starting so late. When I called the office to give them this feedback and to specifically let them know it affected my work schedule the next morning, the customer service rep responded "The movers have work the next morning too" Will not use the company again, have no problem using the specific crew again read more

Last year when I moved, I only had a three day window between an international business trip and going home for the holidays, and as you can imagine not a lot of cash. I did, however, have an entire one bedroom apartment to move with no help or even boxes packed, so I called Man With A Van, and I'm extremely glad I did. Not only did they pack up the war zone that was my apartment, including glassware, none is which was broken, but they also disassembled multiple shelves and my bed and made sure it was all put together in my new place before I could even subway between the two. I should also mention that I had horrible back herniations and couldn't help or do anything prior to prepare, and the entire move still cost less than I had estimated even with garment boxes they provided for me! Will absolutely be using these guys again when I move again especially since I had surgery, these guys can do it all and with pricing transparency at its best you don't have to worry, even if you are completely and utterly unprepared or useless like myself! read more

After 7 years at the same Apt I was hesitant to finally use an NYC moving company, but man with a van didn't dissapoint. The two movers were punctual and Gary I would nickname "Flash" as he went up and down my 4 flights of stairs with a TON of stuff faster than a lightning bolt. A Table, chairs, bed, frame, and a ton of boxes were moved from a 4th floor walk-up to another 4th floor walk-up all in one hours time. Great experience, I'd recommend them for sure. read more

Avoid Paul at Man with a Van at all costs. He is rude and unreliable. Booked a small move a week ago. He had no record, even though I contacted him twice. When calling to confirm again, I was told he speaks to '4000 people a day' and when I tried to jog his memory with our move details he shouted "QUIET, QUIET". He is very busy and doesn't need your business. Fortunately there are other companies. Not to be confused with THE MAN WITH A VAN (John). read more

This is my 3rd time using Man with a van. The moving guys moved us quickly and were hardworking and respectful. I didn't have to worry about anything and they all wore mask. I like how friendly staff at the main office were too as I spoke to them over the phone. I will definitely use them again! Thanks Man with a Van staff for making my move easy!!! read more

Movers were not wearing masks while disassembling. Other mover moved my glasses and other personal items without asking (in the middle of a pandemic no less). When I asked him to not touch my personal belongings and wear a mask, threw a fit and had the nerve to tell me that I was taking the virus too seriously. I would not recommend man with a van if you care about your health and safety. read more

Man with a Van has always been my go to for moves in New York, and once again they did not disappoint. The crew was punctual (showed up few minutes before scheduled time), was friendly and efficient. Everything in was handled with care - lots of blankets and wrapping! Moving in New York is the worst but they make it a much more manageable experience read more

My roommate and I used man with a van for our second move in NYC. They arrived during the window allotted, they were careful with our possessions, and they kept the move at almost exactly two hours (this was with 7 flights of stairs between the two apartments!!). They were polite, friendly, helpful and professional. Additionally, the scheduling of the move was incredibly easy (done totally through emails, which always received prompt responses) and the customer service team was great. They made what could have been an incredibly stressful, long and expensive day fast, easy and quick. I would recommend Man With a Van to anyone. Thank you again for another easy move!! We'll be using them again for our next one. read more

I would recommend Man With A Van for a small move. They use a sprinter van, which can actually hold a lot. We had a bed, dresser, 4 suitcases, and 12 boxes fit in one go. Pros: -best and fastest quote. We got a 1BR moved 1 block away for $230. -really efficient and nice movers Cons: -my movers showed up 45 minutes late, but they made up the time. All in all, a good experience, and I would choose Man With A Van again. read more

I've had 2 experiences with this company. The first one was great & that's why there was a second. There will NOT be a third. Apparently, I underestimated how much stuff I had to move, I guess it's pretty common, and all of my items wouldn't fit. When I called the owner, I was going to offer to get a small U Haul truck to accommodate the surplus. He went totally berserk, never even let me offer my solution & hung up on me! I tried him again & he wouldn't pick up! The two guys he sent were great & accommodating..I showed my appreciation with very generous tips. It was so hard to comprehend an owner of a company acting like a petulant child. Our world has enough problems right now, we don't need business owners like him to make matters worse. We need them to try & make things better...and start by listening. read more

The moving service was fine. However; the movers left bunch of their garbage (mainly cardboard boxes) in the middle of the street which resulted in the landlord getting a fine. read more

Man With A Van was hands down the best ever service I've ever hired for anything, ever. I went to the website, got a quote very quickly, and was able to set up the move easily. The customer service was extremely awesome, and very responsive. My Men with their Van were Mike and Eric, and let me tell you something, these guys clearly have somehow tapped into the Speed Force and are moving faster than light. They were super friendly, helpful, and very very wonderful dudes. I would definitely recommend them and for sure will hire them again if I need my stuff moved again. read more

Best bang for your buck, and they do not skimp! They are reasonably priced, ALWAYS on time or earlier, move fast without prodding and the man in charge of the day ALWAYS knows his stuff. I used then for 4 apartment moves and 1 NY office move from the Chrysler bldg to another on 42nd street for under $400, if that. Tip the guys and request them again and you will not be sorry. Highly recommend. Tip: Move on a non sat/ sun for even cheaper prices! read more

After having a moving company cancel on me the day before my move, Man with a Van saved the day. I was able to schedule a move for the next day, and got responses back prompty. Their customer service is beyond exceptional. Most moving companies have a 2-3 hr minimum, giving me quotes from $300+ even for my tiny move (a mattress and 12 boxes). James and Joey were able to get my move done in under an hour for a meager $125 (plus tip). It was cheaper than every other option, including renting a U-Haul van and hiring a single person from TaskRabbit to help (even after tip). James and Joey were polite, communicative, friendly, and did an amazing job. Quite frankly I will never work with another moving company again, ever, period. For small moves (or moving that sweet Craigslist furniture from A to B), they cannot be beat. No one even comes close. They also offer full sized moving trucks, and I would use them for a bigger move in a heartbeat too. There's literally no reason to call anyone else. read more

This is the worst service I have ever dealt with. I wanted to donate a crib my son had outgrown. The church had no movers so I needed to find one quickly. He said he would charge me $125 for a 40min trip and be reasonable with me since it was a donation and the crib did not need any assembling. I was floored to receive a bill 4x this amount. When I emailed to ask for an explanation, he called me from an unmarked number to yell expletives at me calling me a 'real Housewife' and tell him I make him 'sick'. Who runs a biz like this, especially during a PANDEMIC where anxieties already run so high. Please please go elsewhere with your biz this is a poorly run business, unprofessional, overpriced and obscenely unprofessional. read more

Incredibly rude on the phone. Literally yelled at me because I was asking to get confirmation about a move I was trying to schedule. I get they're backed up, but that's unacceptable. read more

Very professional. From the get-go, they were very responsive on email and they had the most competitive quote. I got the COI as per my requirements. I had three movers come to do the job - they were all very pleasant, professional and did the job in good time. Thanks guys! read more

Great communication and reliable service: We were quick to get a quote/response. They even followed up to confirm the inventory list the day before. Our two movers arrived on time with an even larger van than I expected. Our movers helped us facilitate a multi-stop move and wrapped all of our items to ensure that they weren't damaged. I would definitely use Man with a Van again. read more

MWaV helped me move a little over a month ago, and Jesus & Nico were great: timely, efficient, friendly & professional. I've used this company a few times over the years and they have always been great, including being flexible with my schedule and being available once for a same day request. They are my go-to moving service, definitely recommend! read more

This was my second time using MWAV. My first experience was Harlem to Crown Heights, this time moved a 2 bedroom apartment from Crown Heights to Park Slope. Couldn't have gone better! Anthony was awesome, very friendly, polite and made the experience stress free. The thing I like most about MWAV is they don't nickel and dime you or make you feel bad for inevitably forgetting something on your inventory list. They showed up on time, were efficient, and easy to work with. Would highly recommend. read more

I've used this company twice in one year and each time found the people I communicated with to set things up and the moving crews to be great to work with. The estimate is clear, the end price is absolutely reasonable, and my things are always in good shape. I just used them this week and got a call explaining why they would be 1/2 hour late ( well before they were late) and they were there when they said they would be. Moving an office 2x in one year is stressful and Kenny and his crew made it fast and easy for me. They were professional and friendly. I hope to never move again, but if I do I'm going with this company! read more

Great service, reasonable cost Such a great service. We had Alfred and Carlos for our move and they were friendly, professional, and treated all of our belongings with care. We weren't fully packed when they arrived (our fault) and they helped tape up boxes that were open. These guys hustled and got the entire move done in under 90 minutes. Can not stress enough how nice Alfred and Carlos were to work with and how hard they worked. In addition, booking was very easy, helpful reminders for the move before the day of the move, and it cost exactly what they said it would. Highly recommend and would use them again! read more

MONEY STOLEN FROM WALLET - please read I was selling a piece of furniture online and the buyer used Man with a Van to pick up the item from my apartment. Two men came to my apartment (one was named Domingo, but I didn't catch the other guy's name). The piece of furniture they were picking up was in my bedroom. My bedroom is not big enough for both men and myself to stand in while they removed the piece of furniture, so I waited outside. They closed the door to remove the furniture for probably 30 seconds. Later that night I noticed that $80 was missing from my wallet. I am 100% sure it was taken, as I had just visited the ATM and my wallet had been sitting in my room until the time I noticed the money missing. I realize it was not a smart move to leave my wallet unattended - which is my fault. I called Customer Service and the Representative was friendly and definitely felt bad for me but was also quite naive. She said she spoke with the two men and they said they didn't take the money. Being that it was my word against theirs', she said there was nothing she could do for me. I wouldn't expect them to come clean about it, especially since their jobs would potentially be on the line. I don't think anyone should trust this service, but if you do decide to roll the dice, I would strongly encourage you to NOT leave the movers unattended, even for 30 seconds. Response to Paul K's comment: You also mentioned on the phone that the crew responded to your original question saying that "I was in front of them the whole time" After I told you this was not true, you talked to the buyer (neutral observer) who also said this was not true. When you went back to the crew, they then told you that I wasn't in front of them the whole time. It is really quite simple. One party has nothing to lose in this situation (as my money is already gone). The other party (Man with a Van/Crew) self admittedly has both financial reimbursement and jobs at stake. I don't want to be reimbursed anymore - I would prefer that they are fired as I am that certain that they took my money. But I will also be okay with just explaining exactly what happened online - as that is the purpose of reviews. read more

while it was a relatively small job it was handled very professionally and efficiently. Would use them again.

I didn't believe all the good reviews could be real because moving is hell and there is no way everyone had such a great experience. I was wrong. Anthony and Leonel (who I hope to never have to move without ever again) showed up on time, packed my bed frame and dresser up meticulously (plus 20 or so boxes) and dragged it through traffic from Bushwick to the UWS. This was my most painless move thus far and it's entirely due to these two guys. Super professional and efficient and careful with my things. The van was clean and nice and the whole experience was as easy as an inter Boro move can possibly be. Thanks guys. read more

See all

I chose these guys after a referral from a friend, as well as getting the most reasonably priced quote. We had two apartments to pick up from, with our final destination being a 4-story walk up. They did a fantastic job picking up/packing everything, and carrying all the heavy items up the stairs on a hot July NYC day. I'd definitely use these guys in the future. read more

As always, I had an amazing experience with Man with a Van. Tony and Josh arrived early, moved at lightning speed, and were professional the entire time. They clearly have done this quite a bit as they were not surprised or shaken by anything. So smooth - everything a move should be. Thank you so much Tony and Josh! read more

AMAZING SERVICE! Arrived EARLY to my 3 hour window, had the entire move completed in less than 1 HOUR!!! All fees were upfront and all of the movers were friendly and capable. Would not move with anyone else ever again. read more
