I was overall pleased with this company service. The only thing I would recommend is which items you need them to be extra careful with or move those items yourself if you don't want them potentially damaged. But they were extremely fast. Moving wasn't as painful as I had anticipated. And I was very satisfied with the price. I definitely see myself using their services again for my next move. Thank you so much.

10/01/2023Amazing service by ACM Movers. Mike kept in communication with me from start to finish. There were no surprise fees and every cost was disclosed upon inquiry. He was early and ready to go. All 3 are professional and moved with fluid efficiency. All of my items were handled with expertise and care. Any request was met with a smile. If only every other aspect of moving went this stress-free. I will recommend ACM Movers to anyone that needs moving services. I know I will use them in the future.

I recently had to move last minute, and I spoke to Yuriy, the owner, and he made me feel completely at ease and immediately sent Nick and Vitaly to help me. It was a lot of work for them, but they never wavered, we're extremely professional and did an amazing job. I will be using their services again next year when I move, so get ready boys, haha. In all seriously, they're the best movers in the city, I HIGHLY recommend.

11/27/2023I recommend using ACM Movers for all your moving needs. They are awesome and very quick they will take care of assembly and dissembling required for your furniture or anything you need. They have all the necessary bubble wraps or boxes if you need more. I am thankful to Nick and Temur who helped me move my stuff from my apartment. They are affordable too!

Good communication. Asked for 2 guys for 3 hours, but 3 guys showed up for the same price! But they were late, I had told them 12:30, 12:45pm latest and they showed at 1:25pm... So some standing around and waiting for me. Nice guys, they had good tools and equipment. Highly recommend you get your mattress and anything else you don't want to have dirty wrapped it's well worth it because they cannot guarantee those things will not get black as a drag them around the truck invariably

ACM moved me earlier today. They arrived exactly when they said they would (and called me shortly before arrival). The 3-person team moved efficiently, did not over use packing materials, and were careful not to cause any damage. All of my belonging arrived to my new apartment without any issue. I recommend them and will certainly look them up the next time I move.

4/06/2024We had a great experience with ACM movers. They arrived on time and were very quick and capable. We had more stuff than expected and they were able to make time to do another trip for us. Our furniture all arrived to our new apartment in the same condition. Final pricing matched quote.

I would give them 4.5 stars.
Due to arrive at 8 - did call to confirm night before
@ 8:13 got a text a guy had family emergency would be here 8:45 - 9.
@ 9:15 I called dispatch, he'd find crew.
@ 9:25 Yuri called - I should meet crew in lobby.
I don't know how long they'd been down stay, apparently not told which unit to come to.
The 2 guys did a great job, careful with moving all furniture on my new hardwood floors, finished fast and were very polite/ professional.
Except for delay, it was perfect AND they came on Labor Day.
I would recommend them but be sure to give yourself some time flexibility so not stress
Their price was fair.Patricia V.
9/07/2022The best service. Very kindness and profesional. Very happy with them. Everything was moved carefully.

5/04/2023Sergio, Dan, and Nick are the best! They worked quickly (and tirelessly!) while also taking great care with all our items. They were friendly, cheerful, and professional in demeanor. Although they worked very fast, they were calm and not frenzied, which lessened my stress! They were also nice to my 84-year-old mother, which meant a lot to me.
My communications with Mike were pleasant and efficient. He sent me a clear estimate which was right on target. When I had to reschedule last minute due to a problem with my eye, he was very understanding and rescheduled without making me feel bad about it!
This was great value at a great price.
I highly recommend ACM Movers and give kudos to Mike in the office, and Sergio and his terrific team!Cathy D.
