Verity Van Lines and the crew sent for our move were everything we expected, and more. We were moving to Melville, and storing certain items with Verity. Their pricing is very fair and reasonable. They were extremely professional and amazingly quick in packing the truck, and delivering our items to Melville. They were great in terms of prepping us for the move, and helped us pack efficiently. I would highly recommend Verity for any move.

Sal was prompt and gave us an in-home estimate. Answered all our questions and scheduled us within our time frame. Very professional and easy to talk to. Listened to all our concerns and gave a fair estimate. Andrew our driver was great! The team in New York worked real hard to get everything loaded onto the truck. We had to separate our things for 2 locations( Apartment and Storage Unit).

They worked with us all day to load a household of 33 years. The Tennessee team was just as good and set up our apartment professionally and quickly. Andrew communicated with us throughout our experience and was very good in executing both deliveries and overseeing his team to assure us of a smooth experience. We would highly recommend Verity Van Lines. We had gotten other price quotes but we felt confident that Verity would come through for us and they certainly did! Thanks again Ed and Angela C.

Second time I have used Verity Van Lines. They are amazing. Paul and crew did a fantastic job moving me out of one place and into my new home. They worked hard throughout the day with almost no break. Everyone was friendly and they moved me in without any issues. Highly recommend Paul and his crew.

WhAt a top notch, no BS, hardworking group of guys (Paul, "Gorilla", Shawn and Rob). They were straight forward, did what they said and then some. Had the one house emptied.and had the other house filled and out by 4:30. That was impressive. When the stress of moving may seem a little overwhelming, the process was balanced with such quality movers. I can honestly say, without hesitation that Verity is the way to go. You won't be disappointed.

Used Verity to make a local move to Massapequa Park. I first meet salesman Rob who was knowledgeable and professional. He provided me with a quote and the price paid was the quoted price nothing hidden completely upfront. On moving day I had Fred and his crew assigned to my move. My wife and I could not be more happy and satisfied with the entire team. They were all professional, personable and went above and beyond during the move. I would highly recommend Verity.

My mom recently used Verity Van Lines to downsize from our family home to a one bedroom apartment. We had a great experience working with Sal to plan and schedule the move and with Frankie and his team the day of. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure our belongings were moved safely and efficiently. Highly recommend their services!

Part of this review may have been posted accidentally before it was completed. It can now be deleted after this review is posted. Robert gave us an immediate competitive quote after we showed him what was to be moved. We explained our timeline for our move to Florida and Verity was able to accommodate our plans. Don and Matt arrived on time to pack everything indicated in a very professional manner.

Next day Dennis, Justin, and Mathew arrived early to load everything on the truck in a very organized manner. We next saw Dennis and Justin 10 days later at our new home in Kissimmee where they arrived extremely early to beat the rush of construction workers on our street. Everything unloaded promptly and furniture reassembled as needed. Nothing was broken and the final price was less than the original estimate based on the actual weight of the load. Needless to say that we were very pleased with the entire Verity experience and would recommend them highly.

We had nothing but a smooth move with Verity Van Lines. The pickup was right before the Christmas holidays and delivery was right after. Rob was very nice and professional when he came to give us an estimate. Of course the day of the move, I was very nervous, but the guys - Dennis and team, did a great job. They were such nice people. Our move was to Florida and again Dennis and team did a great job on that end of the move as well. My husband and I were very satisfied with everything. Thanks to Verity Van Lines for putting us at ease with the handling of our belongings. Barbara & Tom Nash

I could not be happier with the service provided by Verity Van lines. I chose them because I was happy with the initial communication with Rob as well as his coming to my house and estimating and explaining the whole process. I haven't moved in 24 years, so I really needed that. I am glad I chose them because on moving day, the guys that came were professional, knowledgeable, careful, quick, and most of all courteous. Everything arrived intact and I was so happy with everything. I highly recommend them!

Moving is without a doubt one of the most stressful times possible - we were looking for a good moving company to move from Queens NY to North Carolina for a 3 BR apt on a 3rd floor walk up during the busiest moving week of the year (last wk of June) with less than one months notice - and Verity to our rescue. After being recommended to us by 2 other families, they had our date range available and sent the estimate guy right away to do an in-person inventory of our stuff.

He ended up over quoting us (because our driver decided he could fit the entire tractor trailer on our block rather than having to use a shuttle truck as we had originally thought). The 6 movers, Nicole from inventory, and most especially Sean our driver were just simply the BEST - they took all the stress out of the day and the experience in general, on a 100 degree day in NYC.

We originally had a pretty long window for delivery to NC, but they were able to tell us succinctly at pick up exactly when drop off would be (and we were also lucky to be the last ones loaded on). They treated our stuff (even the "cheap" stuff) with care and delivered /set up everything they took apart. I cannot rave enough about what a great experience it was, and will continue to recommend them (word of mouth most of all) as I lure more family to follow us down south!

The worse experience unfortunately. When the salesman comes for the estimate you get a feeling all would be taken care of professionally. Not the case. The movers were sloppy and broke things. Had an attitude and unorganized. The salesman and CEO do not respond to emails. Movers said they did not have masks. You better have insurance because they broke so many things. Terrible moving company and overpriced

If you are in Long Island and need a great moving company contact Paul Ric at Verity Van Lines! We met him by accident at his shop Ours 2 Yours (antique shop) in Copiague and he mentioned that he could help. He came over and gave us a very reasonable estimate, worked within our time frame and made it happen in under two weeks! Paul revisited us the day before the move to asses things and showed up promptly the next day with his team, Gorilla and Andrew and they were just as awesome!

The move went with out a hitch in 98 Degree heat and it was extremely seamless. The team did some extras at no additional charge and more importantly., nothing was broken! If you are looking for a great mover, contact Verity as their reviews speak for themselves!

Hired Verity after meeting with numerous companies. Like most people, i was unsure who to trust. Verity seemed to be be most trustworthy, but you just dont know. Well they were outstanding, very careful, nice and quick. We moved form NY to NC and these guys were by far the BEST company I have ever used. I would recommend them to anyone and use them again if I ever needed!

I had the Verity Van Lines give me an estimate for moving me across the country. Sal met my wife and with his years of experience (his words, not mine) he determined that the furniture and boxes we have to move weighted 10,000 pounds. I thought this was EXTREMELY high to yesterday I painstakingly weight each and every box and tub I had packed. I also weighted the furniture I could lift and guessed the weight of the couch, dining room table and buffet.

We also have a few other smaill items (2 TV's, Mirror, several pictures, computer table etc:) and came up with a gross weight of a little over 5,300 pounds. I still have about 10 move boxes to pack up but I severely doubt they will weight 4,700 pounds. I guess because it was my wife he met he could just pull this absurd figure out of the air and try to charge me $5,000 too much.

On top of that he only accepts cash or bank check - I guess other people realized his bad business practices after the move and stopped payment to him on credit card. BEWARE of the firm and Sal in particular P.S. This is the first bad review I have ever posted on Yelp so you know they must be really bad

Amazing crew. 1st and most important, we interviewed several companies who said they would pack a truck, then move everything to a bigger truck and then move it again to a smaller truck to deliver - moving our furniture 3 times - which is INSANE. Verity said from the start they move our furniture once into a truck and 2nd into our new home, so they were the way to go.

They were just amazing; it is probably one of the most stressful things in your life to do, moving 1000's of miles and they made it almost stress-free; the price was within $20. from initial estimate, truck was on-time, movers were professional, everything is counted and recorded, they called when they were a day away, everything was there and nothing (except for 2 glasses we packed) was broken. Just can't say thank you enough to them for such an outstanding job.

Several weeks ago we used Verity for a local move from Queens, NY to Long Island. Everything went very smoothly from getting an estimate, selecting the moving date we wanted and most importantly the move itself. The staff we worked with were responsive and professional. Special thanks to Mike whose estimate of the move was exactly the price we paid, to Johnny and his team who moved our furniture (they did an excellent job) and to Theresa who made sure the apartment complex from which we were moving had the certificate of insurance and checked in with us the day before the move. We would highly recommend this company.

Lesson number one.never move to Maine in the winter! Thankfully, we had Verity Van Lines to move us. It was a very stressful move and Verity helped keep the stress level low. Extremely professional from the first call to moving us in. The final amount was actually less then the price quoted. Dennis and Raffie were gentlemen even when the van couldn't make it up the driveway due to the snow.

They had to move the furniture further than expected. They really worked hard and were very respectful of our furniture and our new house. I would recommend Verity Van Lines and I would use them again and again. Although I hope I don't have to move again any time soon.

Great experience with this company. Had three moves with them. First was of an office. The second was from a house to an apartment and the third was an "internal move" of furniture. Each crew was remarkable in their professionalism, expertise, politeness! Can't recall all the names but included Johnny, Rob, Matt, TJ and Chris. Would definitely recommend this company.

Paul and his crew did and awesome job with our move. They made everything go smoothly and even turned my son's crib into a "big boy" bed when we arrived at our new home. I can't say enough good things about this crew, if I ever move again Verity will be the movers I call.

BUYER BEWARE!.DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!.HORRIBLE experience with them!.hired them and regretted it.paid 10,000.to move to another state.items went missing.they accused us of misplacing them. Noone is ever in the office to talk to.they don't return phonecalls.they're all about you hiring them but are nowhere to be found when you have a complaint.they are disrepectful.and could care less about you once they're paid. DO NOT TRUST VERITY.I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy!.I regret ever trusting them!.God sees everything.and Karma will eventually catch up to them. TERRIBLE how they are and TERRIBLE how we were treated!.don't be there next unsatisfied customer!

Today I was greeted by a very friendly Verity employee who was moving a neighbor here in Nassau County. We struck up a great conversation during his 10-minute break, it's refreshing to meet a happy mover, most moving company personnel seem disgruntled. I heard about his dogs, his best friend Jeff, "da bowlin' league" and his upcoming Vegas trip. More importantly I got valuable information for my Aunt Francine moving from Long Island to Conway, SC (let's go Chants!). Thanks Mike, it's nice to be nice!

I wanted to revise my review and make it clearly apparent that I was not casting aspersions on the movers. I have found most of the items that were missing. I apologize for anything that implied that the movers took any of my things. It was a traumatic move for me personally and I shouldn't have suggested that I was mistreated.

I was given Verity by another mover after he cancelled and it was the best thing that could have happened. Mike called me and the next day Rob came to my house. He was professional, and very reassuring that they would take care of me. I contracted with them and since I lived in an apartment building there were some logistics to work out, which he did.

On the day of the move Frank and his 2 sons came and they were great! They packed me up and took my things away without a hitch. Unfortunately NY was hit with a blizzard but I still received my things in Florida 1 week later. Nothing was damaged or missing. Frank was here from NY along with his Florida crew. I also had some items going to my Moms down the road.no problem. Fast, efficient, pleasant and reliable. I highly recommend them and would use them again without a second thought. Thanks!

My son used them and was moved in 3 days. No problem. We used them 3 months later to same location and they took 12 & 1/2 days. That means we had no beds or chairs. It was near Thanksgiving and they knew they would be slow and it would take longer but did not even give me a heads up that this might happen. For my son they said 3 to 5 days, for me it was 5 to 7, after I signed it was 7 to 10 then 2 more days for the holiday.

I even complained to the president who wanted to rent me a bed for 1 night. They are out for themselves, not the customer. The movers themselves were great people and highly efficient but of course they will side with the boss. Someone else just moved them near New Years and it took 8 days.
