Mover's response:

Highly recommend these folks. They were on time, extremely professional, and worked quickly. 10/10 would use them again.

Mover's response:
Yep that sounds like Promove! Seems like we hit it out the park on your move, wow 10/10. Happy we got it right on this one.
Kirk, Promove team lead and truck whisperer. Thanks Michael

Jenni K

(5) 6/13/2018 Brooklyn

Great movers! They were a few minutes late but text me as soon as they knew they weren't going to be on time. My move went really fast and they were very friendly to chat with during the process.

Mover's response:
I arrived 11 minutes into the one hour arrival window due to the MTA's spectacular train service but not actually late for the job and Dee was there before the beginning of the window because that's just how he rolls, he also walks with what to me looks like a pimp stroll but maybe that's just me. and also way besides the point. Kirk, Promove team lead. Thanks for your review Jenni and for hiring us

(5) 5/31/2018 Manhattan

They were punctual, professional, well-prepared, and hard working. They really knew how to pack our things efficiently and securely. (And they dealt with my father-in-law's "help" directing things with good humor and grace.)

Mover's response:
Ah yes, dads and moving. They've usually done a few and usually have more than 2 cents to add. We understand and appreciate the patriarchal desire to influence the proceedings and will accommodate their "help" and input unless they are screwing things up, if they are I will overrule your dad, sorry. I'll be polite though but I can't let him get stuff damaged. He wasn't that bad. Kirk, Promove team lead and also dad whisperer. Thanks Kelsey

(5) 5/31/2018 Manhattan

Kirk was excellent. He was on time, and flexible when I arrived late from moving to NYC another city. He was hard-working, and ended up finishing in half the time I expected.

Mover's response:
Excellent! On time, flexible and hardworking. Sounds like the best mover ever in history to me. That guy Kirk must be something else!
Also every city that isn't New York City is "another city" don't feel bad. Kirk, Promove team lead and best mover ever! Or not, could also be not. Thanks Jeremy!

Monica B

(5) 5/30/2018 Manhattan

I want to thank the movers who came promptly to move my son into his apartment. It was not an easy move. A 5th floor walk-up. They were very courteous and finished the job on time. Thank you so much!

Mover's response:
I thank them too, I appreciate our crews & their efforts to be on time & their hard work on these walkups. Sidenote; The national association of helpers NAH has begun petitioning mayor DiBlasio to ban all walkups above the 2nd floor in NYC & have them all replaced with elevators immediately, pls support our efforts. NAH is not a real thing but totally should be. Kirk, Promove team lead. Thanks Monica!

Kirk and Robert were efficient courteous and most importantly for my job fast. A+ work

Mover's response:
Efficiency is our thing! Big ups to OG Rob, old as dirt and super fit at the same time, he's not really that old, well maybe, his social security number is 000-00-008 I shouldn't put his info out like that but his credit is atrocious anyway lol). Kirk, Promove team lead. Thanks for your review Seth and thanks for hiring us

(5) 5/29/2018 Manhattan

Exactly on time. Friendly. Got right to work. Done well under time estimated. Had experience to help with load. Thanks so much.

Mover's response:
"help with the load"? I loaded the whole ****ed thing myself and another thing...... :-) I kid, happy to "help".
We try to be quick, mostly because we want to get it over with and get the hell outta there and we know you do too but also because we don't waste time on your dime.
Kirk, Promove team lead. Thanks for your review Andrew and for having hired us we appreciate it
