Recent reviews
I've used Gotham/Northeast on several moves. Local within NYC and most recently out of state. They showed up when they said they would, had enough staff to get the job done and moved everything safely.
Eric at Gotham was exceptionally responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend his team who helped us with a full service move.

Brandon Black, Google
Perfect experience with Gotham Moving. They were fast, efficient, accommodating, had very good rates, and did a perfect job. These guys were really cool and professional too.
Negative Gotham Moving Systems Reviews
Jessica F., Yelp
Half my belongings went missing in the warehouse, many delivered items were broken, and the final quote doubled once everything was in the truck.
Lori F., Yelp
They changed the price after picking up with no notice and took advantage of a 75 year old woman. Truck was slow and broke a fair amount of boxes and a cabinet, then denied it.
Sabrina T., Yelp
After confirming the move three times, they canceled that morning over parking and demanded an upcharge to park one block away, leaving us stranded with boxes.
Neutral Gotham Moving Systems Reviews
Deborah H., Yelp
The guys were great and on time, but the contract did not state a one-hour minimum. The job took five hours, yet I was charged for seven, adding $480 to the bill.
