First Class did an excellent move for me from California to NY. I got a great price. My antiques arrived in great shape. Driver and packers were all super courteous. I'd book with them again.

The gentlemen who packed up our house were quick and efficient. The lead mover was so helpful and made sure all my stuff was labeled and inventoried. The movers were professional and prioritized packing everything up!

The service was timely and top-notch. Everyone I interacted with was very nice and incredibly professional. Highly recommend these movers to anyone looking to relocate.

Sample negative reviews

Jill M., Yelp

My boxes arrived looking like someone took a baseball bat to them. Multiple fragile items broken. Use anyone but First Class—they lie, won't answer their phone, and say they're not responsible for your stuff.

Lisa N., Yelp

It went from bad to worse! The driver smelled of pot, took long breaks, broke items, and some boxes are missing. Stay away from this company.

Connie B., Yelp

Movers arrived 5 hours late to load, then 4 days late to unload. Huge damages to our stuff. Customer service was rude and full coverage was worthless. True nightmare.

Sample neutral reviews

Employees seem less than thrilled about their job.
