I engaged the services of Moving Right Along to remove the entire contents of an apartment in NYC. Some items needed to be discarded, some were donated, and some needed to be moved to a private home in NJ. The move took two days due to the number of items that needed to be packed and the locations of the delivery points. The crew arrived on time both days and followed the instructions completely.
They were very professional and conscientious. The on-site supervisor, Mo, did a great job directing the other crew members. All fragile items were packed and handled with care. Everything arrived at the correct location in good condition. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who needs the services of a moving company.

Sorry this post took years later but we just found out the Company name after filing some papers. They did an excellent job packing our stuff from Brooklyn to NJ. We moved another time in NJ since having our baby and the other place was horrible! Plus now we have a comparison. These guys were very efficient and worked quickly and efficiently. They are professionals compared to the other horrible experience we have had in Jersey--they ruined stuff, lost stuff, took forever and didn't know what they were doing unlike the movers at Moving Right Along.
These were our only 2 experiences and I wish could use these guys again. If you go with this company, they are professionals and you will not be disappointed! Sorry for the delayed review as we moved before the pandemic and were married and pregnant at the time and had a lot going on. I wish I remembered your names but thank you again! --Diana

And professional movers. Moe and his helper got the job done efficiently and with perfection. I called up on Friday and the guys were ready to go by Monday morning! Can't really ask for much more. Thank you.

My husband and I have recently used Moving Right Along for a relocation within the Queens area, the customer services when setting the move up and the crew members that arrived onsite were absolutely amazing. I will be using their services again for my next move!

December 24th, 2021 The Mighty Men of Moving Right Along and the relocation consultant who organized the transition of my life from Queens to Eastern Long Island are hereby acknowledged by this very satisfied customer. The team was on time, courteous, professional and great problem solvers. They were organized and thorough. Patiently they repacked boxes that I had mis-packed without a grumble. They worked swiftly and united as a trio to complete the job within the estimated time frame.
The Might Men didn't mind too much when they surprisingly found out they had to move a couch and kitchen table with four chairs out of the destination house before they could begin offloading. Thank you all again for the wonderful work ethic you present. I would most certainly recommend Moving Right Along to other people who need your service. What I've seen the Might Men do is truly an art and a profession that few people recognize as one. Thank you again and Merry Christmas. All the best of the New Year to you and Your Families. Sincerely, Marina Torre

Moving Right Along made my experience of moving from Brooklyn to Connecticut as easy and pleasant an experience as any move could be. Making the arrangements before the move was accomplished in a pleasant and efficient manner. I had a few questions and each time I called, the response was immediate and my needs were accommodated. The crew who showed up for the move were all pleasant to be with, wore masks, and took care with my belongings.
I had told them where to park when we reached our destination, however, as it turned out, someone else was moving into my complex on the same day. I worried that this would complicate matters, but the Moving Right Along crew took it in stride and the two moving teams cooperated so that both could manage their moves at the same time. The Moving Right Along folks were pleasant and efficient from beginning to end. If there is another move in my future, I would call them again to move my precious belongings without hesitation.
