We recently moved to our new apartment with Solidarity Movers and we had a wonderful experience. In the planning phase: Zak was very communicative and upfront on what was covered (furniture and policy wise) and worked with us to coordinate with the timing of our new building regarding move in. They were also very flexible in moving our appointment when the city decided to take over our sidewalk + curb for infrastructure improvements over our moving date with less than a week's notice, and only informing us the day before a long weekend! During the move itself: we had Brian and his crew over a 2 day period - I paid for packing and moving services, and we paid extra for the movers to pack items the night before the move because the new apartment had strict windows that needed to be reserved for moving in and not a lot of flexibility. They packed everything well and were very efficient at using the right amount of boxes and having them packed carefully. I've had other movers leave a lot of space or pack sub-optimally in order to increase the count of the boxes and then try to haggle for a bigger cash tip for 'overlooking' the increased box amount. This was NOT the case with Solidarity: I didn't get any sketchy behavior from the crew; they were respectful, clean, helpful and very efficient. After unpacking all the boxes, nothing was broken and everything was organized very tidily. We're going to be moving back to our previous apartment in a couple of months (we moved out for a gut renovation) and I would certainly use this company again and recommend Solidarity to anyone who is looking for a first rate moving company! read more

We had a sudden death in the family and this person was very sick, so their apartment was in pretty bad shape. We were just about done with going through all our relative's personal stuff and were ready to move out into storage the things we still needed to go through or wanted. We had a bunch of large contractor bags of garbage, about 10 bags of clothes to be donated and some random pieces of furniture, including a huge leather and wood couch. The apartment was a 4th floor walkup and today (the day we did the move) was the hottest day of the year. I think it topped 95. Rio called us about an hour before our scheduled time and said he was running early so we got over to the apartment. He and Tony started at about 11:30 and they were done by 1:30, WAY sooner than we thought. They brought everything down and packed the truck so nothing would move. We were cleaning up while they were moving stuff, so we had music on...a great 70s and 80s playlist. Every time Rio came in and heard a song, he'd start singing. He really made was was a pretty crappy day into a really pleasant experience. I told him I was surprised he knew so much of the music that was on since he was so young. He said his mom listened to that music so he had eclectic tastes. I said his mom did a good job with his musical education. Anyway, all in all, Rio and Tony did a quick and fantastic job getting what we needed down 4 flights and into our truck. I'd highly recommend them and if I have a need for similar services in the future, I will absolutely call Solidarity. read more

These guys far exceeded my expectations! Solidarity Movers was definitely the most reasonable quote I received and, at the end of the move, I paid exactly what Zak quoted me in the beginning! He was very quick with the quote and responses, and answered all of my questions very graciously. My two roommates and I were already so stressed out about moving, but our movers, Sebastian and Dom, made it so easy and even enjoyable! They not only tirelessly hauled all of our stuff out and into our new place, they were very courteous and friendly the entire time. The fun conversations we had in the duration of the move really put us at ease! They were also extremely professional, wrapped all of our large items and TV, and would always keep us in the loop with anything we needed to know, such as if there was a little knick in my furniture already or that they were going to organize the things in the truck before driving to the new apt. They stayed until we were completely satisfied with where everything was put and we were good to go! The service overall was worth far more than what we paid and Solidarity Movers made moving a little less daunting. I don't usually write reviews, but I'm already telling my other friends who are moving in NYC about them because they're the best! read more

I cannot stress how wonderful these guys are. Zak was quick, attentive, and friendly throughout the quote and hiring process. Solidarity's quote was by far the most reasonable, and I shopped around with 8-10 different moving companies. I had a crew of three guys for a move from a 3 bedroom. I only had them take the major pieces of furniture, because we were moving to a place in the same neighborhood and planned to move the smaller pieces ourselves. They never pressured me to include more pieces, or upsold me on dis/re-assembly that we could do ourselves. Tomas, the foreman, was so kind and friendly. He made the move feel like hanging out with friends. I had a very large couch that was difficult to maneuver up the stairs of our new place. They worked for 30 minutes and just barely got it in - they are wizards!! I was so thankful that they were willing to work that hard to get it in the apartment. It showed me that they are willing to go the extra mile! They were in and out in 3 hours. I can't stop gushing about them to friends. Do yourself a favor and hire them! read more

I was skeptical that there was actually a 5 star moving company in NY, but thought it was worth a phone call. Turns out it's true - they are amazing. I had a very simple job, moving heavy furniture around my apartment. I had to reschedule it 5 times and Solidarity never cared and was always helpful in rescheduling. When the day actually arrived, 2 guys came exactly on time. They called 45 minutes ahead, and also called upon arrival so I could sneak them into the building (no outside workers on weekend - stupid policy). They did the work so quickly they were well under their 1 hour minimum. Rather than just leaving, they actually asked me if there was anything else they could do, if they could help center some furniture and move a rug around, etc. I couldn't believe it. They were happy to fill up the rest of the hour. And worth adding that they were super friendly and ended up sitting and petting my dog at the end. After they left my wife and I were in shock at how good an experience it was. Would recommend them to anyone. read more

My husband and I had a great experience with Solidarity Movers.  Moving can be extremely stressful because you have so much stuff and the thought of having some random strangers handling your things can be really nerve wracking. Eddie, Artur and Elijah made the 'moving journey' a pleasant one. All three are unique and special in their own ways. Therefore, making them the perfect team to work with. They were extremely patient and took great care of our furnitures, walls and floors. Eddie made sure every thing went smoothly without damaging anything. Artur fixed the things that fell/out of place from the furnitures being moved. He is also very knowledgeable. Elijah made sure the boxes were in the right room. Since I'm over 8 months pregnant, I almost tripped over my bags.  He stopped what he was doing and moved them so i won't get hurt.  All three worked extremely hard and were covered in sweat. Yet, they remained patient, positive and friendly! I would 100% recommend them to my friends and family. read more

I'm not sure if my roommate has/will make a post, but even if she does they were so great they deserve both. Honestly 5 stars isn't enough for how efficient, professional, and friendly my moving team was. I only wish I could remember their names! But having to move the day after taking the bar, I was needless to say extremely stressed out and completely out of it. They took my furniture apart, put it back together, and even insisted on moving it around so the layout of the room was what I wanted. They offered to carry our additional boxes and crates that we had brought over ourselves even though they were already moving our large furniture up a three story walk up and it was 90 degrees out, and they never once stopped smiling, joking, and taking the utmost care of our furniture. My roommate and I were so stressed about completing this move and using Solidarity Movers made the whole process bearable and really helped to put us at ease with their excellent service and professionalism. read more

Like everyone else I dreaded the idea of moving in New York City. I had to move twice last year and the previous company I used was pretty awful so I decided to look a little more carefully this time around. I stumbled upon Solidarity Movers and was drawn to their glowing reviews so I gave them a call. I sent them a text and they responded right away, which was nice. Their quote was similar or lower than other highly ranked companies so I gave them a shot, and I'm glad I did. On moving day they showed up prepared and on time. Unfortunately I woke up late and hadn't prepared all my stuff, but they just went at it and helped me clear everything out while I finished packing. It went really fast! They were also very careful with some heavy artwork that I'm particular fussy about, which I really appreciated. Most importantly nothing was dropped and nothing was broken. I hope I never have to move again...but if I do, I'll definitely contact Solidarity. read more

Moving absolutely sucks. You find out you have more stuff than you ever imagined and cringe as you make multiple trips to Home Depot for boxes, bubble wrap and tape. Luckily, we found Solidarity, who were a true pleasure to work with and made the moving experience a whole lot easier. We had a special request to do a combo move: 2 pickup locations, 1 move-in location, same-day. They were totally accommodating of this request. The movers had super positive attitudes and were professional. They were completely prepared, wrapping our furniture (over half of which are antiques) in blankets and plastic wrap. They were also completely fair in assessing the difference between the amount of boxes we originally submitted in our quote vs. what we actually ended up with on moving day - it turns out I am a terrible box count estimator and ended up with extra boxes, tote bags and garbage bags of stuff. Will use them again, no doubt. read more

We had such a great experience with Solidarity Movers, from when we first reached out to when we were unpacking in our new place. A friend recommended them to us, and I'll keep recommending them to everyone else I know. The itemized system for getting a quote was really helpful, and it was not a problem to update our total flat rate once we had a better sense of how many boxes etc. we had. Mike was great at communication, texting on the day of our move to let us know when they'd arrive. He walked through the apartment with us to review our list of items, and let us adjust as we finished packing a few last boxes. His team was efficient, everyone wore masks, and everything arrived safely in our new place (moved from Ridgewood to Crown Heights). They brought their own packing blankets and everything seemed very secure. The prices are reasonable, and for the amount of stuff we had, it was so entirely worth it! read more

Solidarity Movers was a great company to work with! The owner is very communicative and everything was well-run and efficient. The quote is easy to get and is based on the details of what is being moved, from and to where. The move went faster than I thought it would, even though I had two apartments in separate boroughs to move into the new one. Things went smoothly the whole time. I was especially stressed out about my large couch because I was worried that it wouldn't fit into the new place with really small hallways. Not only did the movers get the huge couch up the four flights of stairs, which was a tight fit, the foreman Rio then had to take the bottom frame off - which was not easy!! in order to get it into my apt. and then put it back on. But it fit! And it was a life saver!! I am extremely thankful for the hard work, and the extra mile, that Solidarity Movers went to move me into my new home! read more

Zak and Solidarity Movers came through for us in a crisis! Our main refrigerator died and this fellow Occupier was able to help out in an emergency with very little notice. Really gave of himself for a good cause. Helped us relocate a fridge from the Bronx to Chinatown! To help feed protesters at City Hall with #AbolitionSquare (anti-police brutality movement, anti-imperialism movement). Great communication, great attitude and great service! Would definitely call again. Good conversation too on the way down talking about Occupy movement & upcoming 5yr anniversary, mutual aid/solidarity economy, alternative currencies, time banking, Public banking, solutionary business models. etc. Thanks again Zak for helping us out to quickly replace our dead fridge with a working one! We greatly appreciate! OWS Peoples' Kitchen read more

These guys were fantastic. I had a window between 8-930 where they would show up, and they were parked out front ready to work before 8. They made sure everything was correct on what they were taking and they safely and properly wrapped all large furniture to insure its safety on moving. Hands down would use these guys again and recommend them to anyone who needs to move. Their quote was very reasonable and also worth every penny not having to worry if my things were going to arrive safely. They give you plenty of time to adjust your quote as well since I wasn't entirely sure how many boxes I would have I gave a large number and was able to simply e-mail them once I figured everything out and subtract what I needed to, in turn the adjusted my quote with a quick and timely quote. read more

I had an excellent experience with Solidarity. Zak was very prompt with all the messages, clear and helpful. The day of the move the crew (led by Jon) was extremely good. They offered updates about the ETA before pick-up, they were very professional during the pick up and went beyond what was agreed to help me with a problem I had (the Salvation Army was refusing to take some of my furniture so they could be 'paid' and dispose some items. But the Solidarity crew offered me another -cheaper- option). I was delighted with the move and offered them the good tip they deserved. After the move Zak followed up to be sure everything worked according to the plan. If you have the possibility to work with Zak and a crew led by Jon, Solidarity is your moving company. read more

I moved to NYC via my mom's minivan last year, and had to face my very first real solo move at the end of April 2017. It was daunting, especially after hearing the ridiculous quotes that some moving companies were giving me. Seriously, $900 to move one bedroom like 10 minutes away? Pass. I saw Solidarity's note on Facebook and decided to get a quote - which was a fraction of the cost of other movers. I was a little nervous the day of the move but they were awesome. The entire process took an hour and a half, tops, and my movers (Tomas and Jon) were super friendly and efficient. Zak followed up afterward to check on how the move went. I would say this was extremely successful and I can't wait to use them again at the end of this month! :) Thanks, guys! read more

A friend recommended Zak when I needed to find movers. I was hesitant about hiring movers and thought about just doing it myself. I needed to move some furniture from my apt to my parents' house. Zak was very prompt with the quote and communication with him was easy. Price is definitely fair if not cheaper than other moving company. The move turned out to be great. I also had Rio and Vlad who came to do the moving. Rio txt me to let me know he was coming onetime. They professionally wrapped and moved the furniture efficiently. The furniture arrived to my parents' house without any problems. They went above and beyond to help move my parents' old furniture to the curb as well. Do not hesitate to hire Solidarity Movers. You will not regret it. read more

I am so happy I chose solidarity movers. They were definitely the lowest price out of all the options I explored, and they worked efficiently and carefully while remaining friendly the entire time. Zak was quick to answer emails, phone calls, and text messages, and was even super flexible and understanding about me changing my moving date last minute. The movers had to disassemble part of my bed frame in order to move it, which I was worried about, but they did so quickly and easily, and put it back together just as fast. They checked in with me a few days after the move to make sure I was satisfied with how everything went. They are very professional and easy going. I will recommend them to anyone I know who is looking for nyc movers! read more

We used Solidarity for our move within Brooklyn after looking at a few different companies (Solidarity had the best rate). Zak made the pre-move arrangements a breeze and was always accommodating even with our numerous changes in the lead up to the moving day. Day of, the moving team (led by Jon), were all incredible - super professional, helpful and friendly. We were kept in the loop regarding arrival time and once they arrived everything was done quickly and seamlessly. We overestimated how many boxes we needed to move but Jon allowed us to switch out boxes for other items which was great! They also helped us curb our couch after everything else was done. Can't recommend enough, Solidarity was excellent across the board. read more

Such a great moving experience with the help of Solidarity Movers. Though we got off to a rough start with Zak requesting to move me an hour earlier with no benefit to me, they did agree to come at the time I requested originally. Anthony and two others showed up promptly, carefully wrapped my furniture and made sure everything was out in 30 minutes. The move was complete in only an hour and a half after they unloaded everything into my new place. The men were very polite and efficient, even having me check the truck afterwards to make sure everything was out. They were very charming and quick -- I would recommend Solidarity to friends that are looking to move efficiently. Worth the price! read more
