Review Analysis
Moishe’s Moving Systems stands out for professional service that emphasizes efficiency, careful handling, and reliable communication—attributes repeatedly praised by a significant majority of the 815 customer feedback analyzed. About 63% reported positive experiences, describing helpful and courteous crews who ensured belongings arrived on time and in good condition. Many reviewers cited streamlined processes, smooth moves, and consistent staff professionalism, making moves less stressful and often easier than expected.
Cost transparency and responsiveness received special recognition, setting the company apart from less reliable competitors in the NYC area. On the other hand, 34% of feedback described seriously negative outcomes, most commonly reporting damaged items, delayed pickups or deliveries, and lost possessions. Several customers detailed significant property damage or missing boxes, with insurance and claims procedures frequently criticized as inadequate, slow, or unhelpful for resolving these issues. Delayed arrivals or last-minute cancellations added to the frustration for some, undermining trust. Neutral feedback (roughly 2% of input) mentioned jobs completed as promised but highlighted last-minute changes or unexpected costs that left a less favorable impression. Compared to many other movers, Moishe’s receives strong praise for consistency and professional care, but reports of property damage and complex claims processes remain notable weaknesses.
