This move was definitely one of the most complex I've ever experienced. Moving into a four-bedroom house is no small task, and so many things can go wrong along the way. However, this turned out to be the smoothest, most straightforward, and least stressful move I've ever had. Ralph, the owner of Octomovers, came to my house and did a detailed survey before the move. He gave me the option of a flat rate or hourly charge, and suggested that the hourly rate would work better if I packed some things myself. He was absolutely right. He dropped off plenty of boxes for us to start the packing, which ended up saving us at least $500-$1000 on labor costs. The four-person crew that showed up were true pros; they worked hard all day while staying polite and respectful. They knew when to chat with me for a little break, but quickly returned to being polite when it was over. Rodney, the foreman from Octomovers, is a real pro. With years of experience, he treats his job with pride. Throughout the move, he provided instructions, tips, and even some wisdom for the crew (Washington, Rock, and Javier), all of whom were really experienced too. He’s a great teacher. Instead of just packing everything and charging me for boxes like most companies would, Rodney suggested (and I agreed) that Octomovers would pack most things in big commercial bins, which they could take back once the move was done, so I wouldn't get charged for the materials. The destination wasn’t far, so it was a safe choice. Everything arrived in perfect condition. Even our most prized item, our Steinway upright piano, was handled with so much care. The final cost was a pleasant surprise—much lower than I’d expected. I couldn't be more thankful. Now I’m just waiting for someone to ask if I can recommend a moving company. Oh, I sure can!

I decided to use a moving company for the first time

I decided to use a moving company for the first time instead of asking friends and family for help. After reaching out to several movers, Octomovers gave me the best price by far. They offered a flat rate, with the option for it to change if the move took longer than expected. I signed the contract, paid the deposit, and waited for the big day. The crew called when they were on their way, and when they arrived, they got straight to work. They packed up all my boxes, wrapped my furniture with blankets and plastic, and even packed some loose items I had. Soon, everything was in the truck and we were off to the new place. The unloading went smoothly. They asked where everything should go and even helped set up a few things, like the bed frame and putting the mirror on the dresser. Nothing got damaged, and the walls, floors, and ceilings were all in perfect condition. If you’re looking for a moving company that’s reliable and affordable, this is the one to choose. I highly recommend them, and if I move again, I’ll be sure to call them first.

We hired Octomovers after they helped our son move into his apartment in Brooklyn. We couldn’t have been happier. They were on time, quick, organized, and so friendly throughout a stressful situation. They handled everything with care. Nothing got damaged. When we arrived at our new home, they spent hours setting up furniture, laying down carpets, and making small repairs. A big thanks to Rodney, Edison, Danny, and the rest of the team! We will never move again without you guys!
