Wonderful job...I had to pay $330 to hire a helper for the extra 2 hrs time. Regardless of the job, their attitude is always a problem. They demanded $210 extra with no proper justification and also asking for additional tip.
Since I was about to pay $50 tip for each person including the owner. i.e. $150 total I decided to pay $210 flat. No additional tips.
Nonetheless, you end up 50% more than the original booking price costing my move $1300

Lessons learned...always try to book for half of the price that you are willing to pay .that way you don't feel ripped off at the end leaving smiles on both parties. :)) happy moving.

Sharp Van Lines was awesome! Amil the foreman was very professional and easy to work with. Him and his colleagues worked very efficiently and were done faster than I expected. They handled everything with care and did a wonderful job. I would easily recommend them to family and friends as well as use them in the future. Thank you Sharp Van lines!!!

A little late (understandable given the distance) but they were well prepared and packed it into the car quickly. However, they did surprise me with an extra man the morning of and requested an extra 25/hour for him. In addition, they stated that the tolls were not included in the price and asked for 60 more for that. I did feel that the foreman did not do much while packing the truck and felt that I had to ensure that he assisted in moving my things into the apartment. He was very nice and thoughtful overall though. I will not pay for an extra man for no reason and certainly not extra time. I did not have to in the end and the two men who came with them were excellent, hard workers and very thoughtful! Overall, I would use the service and would recommend it to my friends and family. All complaints included they worked quickly and had less bullsh*t/scammy crap than a lot of other moving companies will give you.

Sharp Van guys were great! They worked diligently to complete my move. Everything was carefully wrapped and protected. Nothing arrived bruised or broken. They took time to set up everything in my new apartment, placing everything exactly where I wanted it.
Thank you Sharp Van!

They sent 3 middle aged angry men. They complained the minute they arrived. They had a bad attitude and confrontational. I was embarrassed with my friends who were these to help. They dumped the boxes. Several items broke. They put in the wrong place mostly by the door. They were on their phones and smoking. They charged me $380 for boxes. And only accepted cash. They did not give me the rate per box. Items that were already boxed they put 2-3 boxes in another box and charged for it. Then they took away the wardrobe boxes without my authorization! It’s a scam. The owner is a rude obnoxious bully. They did the job very slow and then charged me more than double.

Mover's response:
The men worked a total of 12 hours and took 2 cigarette breaks, I dont think that is a big deal. The fact they are middle aged has nothing to do with them doing there job. All 3 guys are from Ukraine, the men did not have a bad attitude it is just there personality, maybe language barrier. We will send the customer a claim for like always for the broken items the customer claimed we did. The packing materials are always additional, the men provided her with the list of packing prices we charge. The customer signed off on all of the charges. The guys did 2 trips and they filled a 20 foot truck twice, I dont think they worked slow at all. We always try and make our customers as happy as possible, we will do this with this customer as well.

Thank You.
Sharp van Lines.

Exceptional service. Accommodating and extremely professional. They helped take a lot of the anxiety out of moving, knowing that your stuff will be moved fast and with great care. Will be using their service again!

The movers from Sharp Van Lines arrived at my apartment between the time they promised (8-9 a.m., so 8:30 was perfect). The first thing I had to do was sign off on the order. As I had requested a third man, I understood the extra charges for him. One, mover Alex, was the supervisor but also helped with moving the cartons, oversized moving bags and pieces of furniture. They were doing two separate apartments (the other, my friend, who is also moving to same apartment) in the same vicinity. As I had done all the boxing and bagging, using my own cartons, all they needed to do was wrap pictures in blankets and secure them inside their truck. I didn't notice if they wrapped the small bookcases or credenza in any protection inside the truck; it certainly wasn't done prior to loading. Still, they arrived undamaged.

I had to follow them in my car, carrying their third mover as a passenger. As they had a truck which is not allowed on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, they had to take the longer, more time-consuming route of local streets. I have to admit, I was pretty sure the cops would get me as I sped through quite a few red lights to keep up with their 16 foot truck!

At the end of the unloading process - they placed the cartons and furniture where directed - came payment, in cash, for the extra manpower, tolls, and any extras, along with tips for all three. What I should have received at that point is a carbon copy of the bill. I did not. Later in the day, I had to inquire about the charges. Hearing that I was charged for packing materials, I objected since Sharp did not provide any. Alex apologized and is refunding that excess fee. I also objected initially to the toll charges but withdrew that complaint since I didn't know toll rates for trucks on the (2) bridges taken. Alex did send me a photo image of the toll charges. Commendably, he does respond quickly to any issues raised. However, going forward, he should make sure the customer gets a copy of the bill once the move is finished.

Would I/we use them again? Maybe. My friend will decide. All I know is that he won't be needing a 16 foot truck or an extra helper.
