Save Yourself the Trouble & Use a Different Moving Co.

by ZFalk at Citysearch

DO NOT USE THIS MOVING COMPANY! I used them to move in 2009 and at first I was pretty happy with them-- they showed up late but the move got done pretty fast and they assembled my bed. The final bill was more than what I was quoted but I paid it just glad to have the move behind me.

As I unpacked I soon realized that a bag of clothes and part of a shelf were missing.... easily totaling over $600! I quickly called the company who assured me they would check their trucks and were sure the items would turn up. Over 2 months later, nothing showed up and the managers were unresponsive to my phone calls.

When I got a lawyer involved and sent them a certified letter, I finally received a call back. After being extremely frustrated, we agreed on an amount (much less than what was lost) but at this point I just wanted to put the whole situation behind me.

FAST FORWARD 2 YEARS LATER and I STILL HAVE NOT been paid what was promised for my lost items!! I have faithfully been following up, only to receive rude and curt responses from management that they "don't have the money."

So unless you want to lose hundreds of dollars, be ignored, and be jerked around for 2 years over a few hundred dollars... DO NOT USE THIS MOVING COMPANY!

Horrible, Unprofessional, Disrespectful

by JBBoston at Citysearch

First, they didn't show up when they said they would.

Then they claimed they wouldn't refund our deposit--even though they never showed up. And they (even the Manager) were verbally abusive to my wife and to me.

Thank God another moving company was able to come that day (!) to rescue us.

Hire Nicks!

by Jessica I at Citysearch

I can't say enough about Nick's moving! I've moved 7 out of the last 9 years. For the past 4 moves I've hired companies - started with Gentle Giant - who were good but very expensive, then Precision Moving for two moves who did a good job and were less expensive but took a little longer than i'd expect, and this last weekend I used Nick's. This was the biggest move - a full condo on the third floor, moving into a house with two sets of stairs, with the most breakable items I've had thus far, and the longest distance I've had to move things. 5 guys, 3 hours, and not a single item broken! They were professional, hustled, took great care with our items, and moved the most things in the least amount of time. It cost me the same amount that it cost to move a quarter of the things I moved with Gentle Giant.

I hope this is my last move but wanted to say THANK YOU!

Excellent & Professional Moving Company

by JDAN at Citysearch

I have used Nick's numerous times moving from different residences (i.e., condo (with and without elevator) & home) and they have done an excellent job each time. I would highly recommend them for any type of move. Most recently, they assisted with moving large furniture within our home and were great and eager to place the furniture perfectly.

  • Pros: Professional, Reasonable Cost, Reliable, Efficient, Friendly
  • Cons: None

A good deal

by Marybeth N at Citysearch

We had Nick's move a couch from the 2nd floor--via hoisting through a window.

They were very professional and left everything the way it was when they came in. The were such a better deal than Titan.

We will definitely use them again in the future.

  • Pros: affordable, professional, reliable
