These guys are the best. I have used them many times, at least 4!, and I can compare them to at least 4 other moving companies in NYC. I keep going back because every team has always been professional, know what they are doing, are careful, efficient, and quick. They are friendly and make the whole process straightforward and simple, and relieve so much of the stress. PLUS I LOVE the reusable boxes. That is so so important. I hope not to move again for a long time, but if I do, I will go to these guys.

We've used Movers Not Shakers 4 times between 2006-2022 and every experience has exceeded our expectations. In all four instances they've been on time, efficient, careful, and very accommodating. They take a lot of the stress out of the moving process and I can't recommend them more highly.

These guys were fantastic! They moved our studio/1-bed apartment down 3 and up 4 flights of stairs in just over 2hrs, incredible. The plastic tubs provided were great, they made packing easy and the job more efficient. Very professional team, good price, no fuss & on time, very highly recommend. Thanks guys!

Movers Not Shakers were absolutely top notch from start to finish. Clinton provided a clear quote and was spot on in his estimates on # of boxes, vans etc. His communication was brilliant before our move - always quick to provide any answers and remove uncertainty from the process. Also we really appreciated the flexibility whilst we pinned down our completion date! The team on the day were faultless - they were great fun and made moving day itself feel easy. They took great care of our belongings and provided helpful advice on some of the bulkier/difficult items. We've already recommended Clinton and team to several of our friends! Thanks again!
