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.

Just completed a corporate relocation and Alex and Vlad managed every detail. For office moving in NYC, these guys know their stuff. From labeling equipment to coordinating elevator access, they handled everything. We were fully operational the next morning thanks to them.

We had a tight deadline for our office moving in NYC, and Mike and Ivan pulled it off seamlessly. Efficient, friendly, and total pros. They even worked around our staff to avoid disrupting business. Couldn’t recommend them more.

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!!

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.

Piano Movers NYC – Overview

For some people, a piano means the world for them. We at Empire Movers know that moving a piano is a task that needs extra attention. This delicate musical instrument has countless separate parts that need to be taken care of and transported very carefully. Such a task needs to be done by professionals who have experience in these sort of procedures.
A professional piano moving team is aware of the value of such an instrument and knows that shipping it has its risks. That is why professional equipment and the adequate manpower is mandatory. In order to ensure a smooth delivering process, you have to consider the most suitable logistics option, as well as requesting an individual offer that best fits your need.

Most of the companies will only help you move the instrument, however, the team at Empire Movers can prepare the item for moving, very carefully. We will take extra special care with your piano and will not only transport it, but also pack it using top-notch equipment and techniques. The experienced piano movers use custom crating and special packing, padding and stretch wrapping along with other necessary procedures that guarantee a safe transport.
The highly skilled team at Empire Movers can help you even with the most challenging tasks, regardless of the type and size of your piano. Years of experience and professional attitude will guarantee that your beloved musical instrument will be packed and moved.
Whether you want to transport your piano just a few block away or long distance, packing it accordingly and transporting it with the adequate vehicle are crucial. If you want to resolve this fast and responsibly, then you will definitely need to work with a team that is specialized in such important tasks.

Piano Moving Process

Regardless of how big or antique your piano is, respecting the moving process is crucial. Unexpected events can happen during the transportation of even the smallest pianos. That’s why the experienced team has to be extremely careful during the packing process as well.
As a first step, you have to know that paying attention to every detail during the preparation is key. If you want to be sure that your instrument is packed correctly, then you need professional management. Successfully moving a valuable asset like your piano is a complex task. It requires identifying the customers’ needs, and also customizing the plan according to the type of the piano that is about to be transported.

That is why you need highly skilled movers to handle every aspect of the procedure, who in the same time, are equipped with all the necessary technology and supplies, including special crates with the purpose of protecting each item that needs to be moved.

Piano Moving Equipment

Everyone knows that protection is essential when packing and moving pianos. In order for things to go smoothly, the musical instrument has to be packed carefully, using special materials that protects it from everything, such as foam wrap, styrofoam sheets, a pallet, bubble wrap or other elements that the team considers necessary, depending on the type of piano.
When this is done, another challenge is moving the piano and transporting it to its new location. In each case, the piano is placed on carpeted piano beds which are precisely designed, while other elements, such as the legs, pedal and the bench are handled separately for safety measures.
For a safe and successful transportation, it is fundamental to find the best piano moving company that works with the latest equipments and has the necessary manpower and expertise for the job. With Empire Movers, you will have a great experience and a stress-free local or long-distance transportation.
