This is a note of appreciation for Empire Movers. We were uncertain about our moving date because we needed approval of the buyer from the board of our Manhattan co-op and did not want to leave the apartment bare in case it had to go back on the market. Empire was flexible and adjusted the date for us a number of times. When we were ready to go, their crew arrived when promised and packed everything carefully and professionally. Some pieces were being given to a relative in Virginia near DC and the balance to Aiken SC. The Virginia pieces were loaded last so they could be delivered first. Empire made the move as stress-free as possible for us and all was very well done. Pricing was transparent and very reasonable, with no surprises.

I had a lot of fragile items, but Ivan and Mike treated every box like it was their own. I can confidently say they are white glove movers you can count on. They brought all the right tools and packing materials. It was clear they knew exactly what they were doing.

I hired Empire Movers for a white glove moving service, and Mike and Alex impressed me from start to finish. Not a single scratch or broken item, and they even cleaned up afterward. The professionalism they showed was top-tier. I’ve already recommended them to two friends.

Charlie and Vlad handled my apartment move like true professionals. I’ve used several companies before, but these guys were by far the best movers in NYC. They were punctual, careful with every item, and made sure everything arrived safely. They even helped rearrange some of my furniture without hesitation.
Response from the owner 14:18 05 May 25
Thank you for such a great review! We try our best to be the best in NYC. We are happy to hear that you had such a great move with Vlad and Charlie. They are the best! Please do not hesitate to reach out for any future moving needs!

CHEATERS!! I went with Empire because I had heard great things and the reviews overall looked good. First, they messed up my move date and then they tried to cheat me out of my dedicated truck. Initially, I went with a shared move but in the end decided to go with a dedicated move instead because I felt more comfortable knowing the truck was dedicated to moving only my items from NY to NC which I paid extra for. However, on the day of the delivery, I learned there had been other items on the truck for another customer that were delivered before I received my items. That my friends is not a dedicated move that is a shared move and a difference of $1000. I tried speaking to the supposed owner Florin but he wanted to gaslight me and proceeded to tell me how unhappy I was and I was just looking for a reason not to pay. Which, by the way, I never said I wouldn't pay for the move but I'm not going to pay an extra $1k for what was supposed to be a dedicated move for it to actually, be a shared move. Ever heard of double dipping, lol. Not to mention while I'm on the phone trying to discuss this with him he is charging my card without reviewing the billing with me. The only good thing that came out of this is both the NYC and NC movers themselves were great and very polite!!
Response from the owner 17:45 17 Apr 25
We're sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond.The delivery was completed on time, without any damage, and handled professionally by our team, which you graciously acknowledged.Regarding the concerns about empty boxes in the truck — we understand how this may have caused confusion. However, our trucks often carry general supplies such as pads, boxes, and equipment, which does not mean other shipments are present. For your delivery, no other clients' items were on board, and your belongings were the only shipment transported between pickup and drop-off.We did our best to accommodate your last-minute change, kept clear communication about delivery timing, and ensured the service was completed exactly as promised. We’re glad to hear you were satisfied with our moving crew, and we hope you'll reconsider this review based on the full scope of service you received.Please feel free to reach out directly if there’s anything further you’d like to clarify.
