The Golden Truck Moving Company — Local services in New York

I was dead set against hiring movers for my move. After being quoted almost $1,000 by three or four (after having to list every time, mind you, in excruciating detail exactly what I had and how many boxes), I kept telling friends, "I'm fine with a U-Haul".

And then between an impending snow storm and two friends getting Covid, I was forced to reconsider last minute.

I'm so happy I did. My friend had raved about Golden Truck Moving, and when I called them, I saw why from minute one. Jaime picked up immediately and didn't feel like a sales person. There was no listing of items...just "these are our price options for this many guys and this amount of time...this is what's usually good for what you have..." And pretty much ALL the prices were half of what other companies charged. Everything was calm and relaxed and that made me feel the same.

On the day of the move, it was the same deal. Mauro, Tony, and Alberto were booked for 9a, and at 8:59a, I had a call saying they were outside. Mauro came in, took stock of things, and then everyone got to work.

All my furniture was wrapped, all my boxes were handled with care, and anything I said was fragile was wrapped in blankets and given extra care. They disassembled my bedframe and took off my bureau mirror, too, and when we got to the new apt, everything was put in the exact spot I wanted it to go, and everything was reassembled as it was before. As I watched, I realized that my friends and I getting a uHaul would've saved money, but damn would it have taken double the time.

And the best part? They're honest. Jaime quoted me $130 per hour if we go over the time limit, so when we finished a little after 12:30p (the guys definitely needed the extra time), I just assumed I'd be charged the full hour. Nope...$70. In a world where he could've easily charged the full amount, the fact that it was to the half is just something you have to respect.

I will definitely be using Golden Truck Moving for any future moves, and will be recommending it to anyone else who needs it. I strongly suggest checking them out. And thanks to everyone (Jaime, Mauro, Alberto, and Tony) for ALL their help. You couldn't have made the experience smoother!

Best prices, extremely easy booking process, best communication, friendliest staff, fastest and most careful movers!

This was a really great experience all around. Booking the move was shockingly quick and easy compared to other companies. You don't have to list every single item like other companies. Just a brief description of your needs and your are all set! I had some other questions leading up to the move and Jaime always picks up the phone and takes care of you in seconds. So rare these days! So much appreciated!

I did a move within Astoria. First, the movers were not on time, they were 2 minutes early! They took a brief survey of the items and started moving boxes within minutes. 20 minutes later they were already halfway done! We hit a bit of a problem with a couch that wouldn't fit out the door but everyone worked together to come up with a solution on the spot and the move was still done in the right amount of time with no overage fees!

The guys doing the work were very friendly, respectful of our stuff, and fast, fast, fast! I mainly went with Golden Truck because they're prices were the best but I will never use another moving company again because of their professionalism and how easy they are to work with. Thank you everyone at...

Extremely responsive, flexible, and conscientious. Not to mention efficient! My move was wrapped up right on time without a single item damaged. They had every kind of moving supply you could think of, and were so helpful they actually told me “don’t worry about that we’ll get it” when I tried to busy myself with other things like taking screws out of the wall! The next day I managed to find a dresser on Craigslist so I called them up to see if they could pick it up and drop it off for me, and they were so accommodating again. They even got to know my dog and greeted him by name when I opened the door. You can tell they’re all actually friends too and not just workplace associates- the jovial atmosphere and playful teasing back and forth between the three really made things feel fun and light instead of stressful. I’ve already shared their number with two people in the last 36 hours, and will definitely be holding on to it for as long as I’m in NYC! If you’re looking for movers, this is the company to go with hands down! Do yourself a favor and...
