Real Customer Experiences With City Empire Moving
Renters, homeowners, and business owners rely on our careful crews and clear communication from start to finish.
We moved from a walk-up in Harlem to a first-floor apartment in Yonkers. The crew was early, worked fast, and didn’t scratch a single wall. Worth every penny.
City Empire Moving handled our office shift from FiDi to Midtown. They labeled every desk and server, moved everything overnight, and we opened for business on time.
I was nervous about my grand piano going down three flights. The team brought a piano board, padded everything perfectly, and set it up without a scratch.
Very professional from quote to final box. They navigated Brooklyn’s alternate side parking rules better than I could have. One small lamp base chipped — they refunded 10% immediately.
Last-minute move out of a Jersey City high-rise. The building requires COI and elevator reservations — City Empire handled all the paperwork and showed up exactly on time.
Used their packing service before a long-distance move to Chicago. Every dish, glass, and frame arrived intact. Unpacking was a breeze with their labeling system.
Moved from Astoria to Long Island City. The crew worked through rain, wrapped my mattresses in plastic, and kept everything dry. Great attitude even in bad weather.
The estimate was honest — no bait and switch. Three movers showed up, worked nonstop for five hours, and asked before tossing anything. I’ll use them again.
We had a pool table that needed moving from a basement in Flushing. They disassembled it carefully, moved the slate pieces one by one, and reassembled it perfectly leveled.
Moving day was supposed to start at 8am — they called at 7:45 to say they were downstairs. That never happens in New York. Fast, careful, and reasonably priced.
The customer service team answered all my dumb first-time-mover questions without making me feel stupid. The movers themselves were polite and quick. Highly recommend.
We stored our stuff for three weeks with their partner facility while our new place was finishing construction. Delivery was smooth and nothing was missing or damaged.

Answers to Common Moving Questions
Everything you’ve wondered about pricing, timing, insurance, and special items — answered by our team.
How far ahead should I schedule my move?
We suggest booking at least two weeks in advance, especially from May through September. For urgent moves, call us — we often have same-day or next-day availability in NYC and northern NJ.
Do you provide moving boxes and tape?
Every full-service move includes furniture blankets, shrink wrap, and packing tape at no charge. Boxes, bubble wrap, and dish crates are available for a small fee.
What kind of insurance coverage do you offer?
Basic liability coverage comes standard. For valuable items like artwork, antiques, or expensive electronics, ask about our full-value protection plan before moving day.
How is my move priced?
Local moves (within 100 miles) are hourly, based on crew size. Long-distance moves are calculated by weight and mileage. You always get a written estimate before we start.
Can you move a pool table or safe?
Yes — we have specialized crews for pool tables, safes, pianos, and other heavy items. Let us know when you book so we send the right team with the right gear.
What if something breaks or gets damaged?
Report any damage within 48 hours and we’ll start a claim immediately. We document everything before loading, and most claims resolve within 5–7 business days.
Do you take furniture apart and put it back together?
Absolutely. Bed frames, dining tables, desks, wall units, and most standard furniture — disassembly and reassembly are included at no extra cost.
Is there a minimum hourly requirement?
Most local moves have a two-hour minimum. Your coordinator will confirm the exact minimum for your crew size and location when you book.
Do you handle moves to other states?
Yes — we move customers to Florida, Texas, California, Illinois, and everywhere in between. You get a dedicated move coordinator and GPS tracking.
What items are prohibited?
We cannot transport hazardous chemicals, flammable liquids, perishable food, live plants, or ammunition. When in doubt, ask your coordinator before packing.
Do you offer storage if my new place isn't ready?
Yes — we partner with secure, climate-controlled storage facilities in New York and New Jersey. Short-term and long-term options available.
How should I prepare on moving day?
Label boxes by room, set aside valuables you’ll carry yourself, clear hallways and doorways, and reserve parking for the truck. We email a full checklist after booking.
