Optimum Moving

Wonderful movers, from start to finish. I called a few other moving companies, but none of the others showed up at 7 am to look at my place. With a foot injury, of all things! To me, that made a huge difference and indicated that Justin and his crew have a great work ethic.
This was very apparent when the movers called me 15 minutes before arrival. They showed up on time and were very quick, friendly, and wrapped everything professionally. Juan was awesome and took my bed apart and put it together more quickly than I could imagine anyone doing it.
Epi was the foreman and a great leader of the group. Chris was awesome, so nice and went the extra mile to fix my lamp, and let me know about an outlet that wasn’t working in the new place. They showed they really care about doing a good job, which makes all the difference when you’re stressed out having to move.
This is peak moving season and so it’s expensive to move with a lot of stuff. Justin was nice enough to adjust the quote once I removed some items to make it a little bit more affordable.
For the amount of furniture moved and the fact that it was pouring rain, I couldn’t ask for a better experience. 100% best moving experience I’ve ever had. Can’t recommend this company highly enough. As they grow in size, I hope they can maintain the high level of quality.

Awesome movers! Quick, respectful, on time, funny and I love the that they give a flat price!!! Josh and his group did my move and I paid a little extra to have them unpack my kitchen. Josh is crazy fast at unpacking those dishes! These guys are great and I’ll be recommending them as well as using them again whenever I move. Thanks guys!

Absolutely amazing! The guys moved me this past weekend and they were so fast it was incredible! I was moving kinda last minute so i hadn’t done anything smart to prepare like measuring doorways and large furniture, so there was a moment we thought my large couch wasn’t going to fit and they took time to consider every possible option, going around the back etc to make it work out. Luckily it ended up fitting through the front door but they were so great. This was my second time using them and will continue to do so. Highly recommend!

These guys were great! Didn’t milk the job like many others do. Very professional. Definitely recommend them. Ask for Eppy, his crew was great

Optimum movers were absolutely wonderful. They arrived to my house on time and had everything packed and loaded within about 2 hours. They were fast, efficient, and most importantly careful with my things and both properties.
Once we got to the new home Josh and his crew really went the extra mile. We had a close call of not getting the couch into the house. Within minutes the crew had the front door off and we were able to just get the couch through the door. I would definitely use optimum again and Josh and his crew are really top notch. Highly recommended!

We have used Optimum Moving 3 times in the last year. To say they are terrific is an understatement!
In all 3 cases, they came to asses the needs, gave us a firm price and delivered expert moving services that were very careful and professional — exceeding our expectations. We initially contracted with them to move our office. This was done very well with all furniture properly labeled, wrapped, moved and reassembled. They were very accommodating, even with a few last minute changes.
As a result we hired them to handle the move of our home of over 5,000 square feet. We did this is two phases. Here again, they came and accurately assessed the needs which were more complex as we have a lot of antique furniture and breakable items. Elvis Andrews was terrific in his review and assessment of what was needed to properly protect and move all our items. In both phases of the move, Josh and his crew were amazing! They carefully wrapped, moved, packed, unloaded and set up all the furniture. Everything was done perfectly — not a single mishap. The crew worked tirelessly for almost 11 hours per day over 2 days. No complaints, just smiles, and they were very accommodating to any changes in furniture positioning we asked. Just a terrific, professional and hard working crew, and the foreman, Josh was right in there with them. We can’t say enough good things about this company. Only sorry we can’t give them 10 stars!

This is the place you want to work with. Elvis, one of the owners, answered the phone and gave me a 15-​minute education on how to pick a moving service.
I’ve been calling places asking for quotes for a tentative long distance move, and Elvis was the first person to inform me that it’s actually ILLEGAL in New Jersey and New York to give someone a quote over the phone or email without doing an on-​site inspection. Color me surprised. I had no idea. All the other places were pushing me to give them a deposit over the phone and not one of them even discussed on-​site inspections.
Elvis went over my options with me and told me it’d be more affordable and faster (given my destination) if I hire a UHaul and drove it myself. Optimum could load everything up for me for $ 600 (versus the couple grand it’d cost for them to do the whole move).
But quite frankly, Elvis said, given the small size of my apartment and the price we’re tentatively looking at (which we’d need to confirm with an on-​site inspection, of course), I’d spend less money just buying new furniture when I arrive.
It’s a breath of fresh air when a company wants to do right by you, even if it means dissuading you from hiring them altogether. I’ll probably go the new furniture route but man, Optimum’s done right by me and I haven’t even hired them yet. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone planning a move. They’re very honest and clearly know what they’re doing.

AWESOME SERVICE!!! They called to confirm they were on their way, arrived a few minutes early. They were very organized, safe, and neat! Professional group of men that I would refer to anyone moving.

I have moved many times but this is the best moving company ever. I had very good experience beginning with Elvis (Yes, Elvis!!) who came to look at what we are moving and to give me estimate to Josh the Operations manager who also helps in packing and moving. The crew of four was amazing too. Josh put us at ease as soon as they arrived. I did not have to worry about anything once I showed Josh what has to be moved. They packed everything well taking care of furniture, mirrors, floor and walls. Not a scratch anywhere! My delivery location was a difficult place to move into. Elevators were about 500 feet from where they parked the truck. But they did all the work with smile without any complaint. They unpacked everything and placed all the item in its place as I instructed. These company exceeded my expectation. They gave you price once and they never try to get into raising it. They are very reasonable. They are also very reliable. They came right on time. They called me when they were on their way. I have to move again in about 10 months. I am definitely use they again.
They also provide service to haul-​away junk which was very helpful. Price for haul-​away was lowest that I found. Great owners, Josh and the crew.
You do not need to call anyone. Just call them and you don’t have to worry about all the nightmarish stories that you heard about movers!!!

Moving can be really daunting, but with a newborn, a three year old, a spouse who is always working, a mother who now lives with you in a tiny apartment until you move, Elvis and the guys at Optimum Moving were like angels from heaven!!! I was so glad to find them. When we first met Elvis, he was so non-​judgmental about the crazy state of my apartment, and made us feel really assured and less stressed about the upcoming move. He was super professional and easy going, so when I had to reschedule at first, he was totally understanding and we set the first visit out a couple days later. I really liked his flat rate guarantee, and he was great at getting right back to me whenever I had questions and called to finally confirm. I would say we were lucky to have such a great experience, but it really is those guys. They deserve all the credit. Kevin our mover was amazing, and also very easy going which helped ease my stress that day big time! And the other two guys handled and disassembled with such care, they even helped me lift stuff as I packed a few last random things. One guy was do sweet to offer to box my pillows and bedsheets, when I was just going to throw them in my car (but it gave me room for other stuff, and I knew where our pillows and sheets were later!) Especially after today, because I have carpel tunnel, and my hands are in temporary braces, and I noticed a few boxes were misplaced in the basement, I called Elvis yesterday, and he sent over one of his guys today! He helped me bring them upstairs in two seconds, Nate was amazing (thank you Nate!!!). They really were a dream. Elvis, I can’t thank you and your crew enough. I just wish you all the best, and I hope to never have to move again, but if we do, I’m calling you!!!

Great service!
Moved many times always used different companies but if I’ll move again, I will definitely use Kelvin and his crew.
Great team work, they were fast and very helpful.
Many thanks!

Moving is never easy, it is a project and hassle in itself. To ease the stress and anxiety of moving this time, I decided to research local moving companies. I am a 20 something that is finally leaving my parent’s nest so I was not moving much, just my bedroom furniture, but it is large and heavy so I figured it’d be easier to pay someone than bride all the men in my life with beer and pizza.
Per usually, I googled «Moving companies in Bergen County,» and was delivered with an overwhelming response. I input my info on site after site and truly felt that I was being spammed. As soon as my information was entered, my phone would ring and I’d be greeted by an automated response stating the basic information that I already read on their website. It was very discouraging and increased my anxiety level. Another confusing aspect was every moving company has different charges for this and that and yaddah yaddah; ultimately I made an excel spreadsheet of all the companies I communicated with, what they had to offer, costs, reviews, etc. I felt very restless and overwhelmed, a moving company is supposed to make my move easier not stressful.
Finally my prayers were answered, when a human, Elvis, from Optimum Moving called me and left me a very friendly and informative voicemail. I felt good vibes immediately from the voicemail, revisited the site, was happy with what I saw (many companies had shady-​shady moving sites), and then came to Unilocal to see what my fellow peers had to say. I immediately knew this was the company I wanted to go with. When I called Elvis back, he confirmed my decision and I booked his company for my move that day. Elvis listened to what I needed, worked with my budget, and timeline. He was more than accommodating. I feel safe with Elvis and his company and I knew I could trust him and his company.
On the day of the move, two movers showed up to my home on time ready to go! My mother and I were in awe and shock as we watched these men take my belongings up and down the stairs as if they were 5-​pound weights (and confirmed my decision to not as my brothers to help move); these guys knew what they were doing. From the moment we left my old home to my new home and reorganize my new place, Optimum Moving was more than professional. They brought everything in and out without a scratch and dealt with my indecisive mind on moving my dresser and bed to get everything to where I wanted.
Even after the move, Elvis checked in with me to see how everything went; not many companies do this effortless communication step, but Optimum Moving does because Elvis truly cares about his customers. I cannot recommend Optimum Moving enough!

Finding a honest moving company is hard enough. Finding a friendly professional moving company that does great work is even harder. Optimum is just that. This is the second time I have used them to move and once again they came in with a good price and they stick to it. They don’t try to change the price once everything is loaded on the truck. They wrap everything and take their time as they move your stuff. They even took apart and reassembled some of the big items. Great experience from top to bottom. Big thanks to optimum for another seamless move. I would strongly recommend them.

I am so glad Justin and Optimum Moving was referred to me. The moment I met Justin I felt instantly relaxed about my upcoming stressful move. I had a lot of furniture that needed to be moved in a very quick period of time, everything was seamless and stress free. Unlike most moving companies I have used in the past not one piece of furniture was damaged and the moving crew handled everything like it was theirs. Very professional, I highly recommend their services!

Initially I was worried since I told Kevin (I believe that’s who I spoke to in the phone), that my building only allowed me to move between 2 – 5 and Kevin insisted that it would be fine to come earlier. Since I was just moving in and new to the building, I was nervous that we would not be allowed to start the move earlier. But everything went smoothly, the guys arrived when they said they would and the move was quick and I had no issues. Granted I was just moving boxes and a mattress and no furniture but nonetheless everything went great thanks to
Delvon and Maximo who were the moving guys on that date.
The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the person I spoke to on the phone seemed frustrated the two times I called about the certificate of insurance for the building and for the move in time. These are things they should be used to dealing with so not sure why he was a little rude about it. Other than that, I would highly recommend this company.

I have to chime in with the positive reviews! Their crew of 4 did a quick, almost impeccable job and was by far the lowest of prices quoted to us in the area. It was impressive to see them come in and like a well oiled machine wrap up all our furniture and load the truck. They probably did a more careful job than we would’ve. Out of all our items, only a mirror was chipped and they gave us absolutely no problem about having it repaired. Can’t recommend enough.

If you’re not interested in reading the entire review, I’ll sum it up right here.
AS GOOD AS IT GETS!!! DON’T HESITATE, CALL TODAY!!!
My wife and I have moved two times in the last two years… not an enjoyable experience. I’m also not the best when it comes to proper packing/​planning/​timeline… So let’s just say the first experience (sans Optimum moving) was a sh*t show to say the least.
Being a rather dedicated Unilocal’er, I of course browsed and found several companies. But, with the already five star rating I called Optimum first and would never call anyone else should we move again in the future…(please g-​d, no)
The basics that matter are this… They’re professional, courteous, CAREFUL, efficient and on time. They have a no bed bug guarantee!!! They have a hardwood protection plan (included in the price, not an extra) and they have at least one English speaking foreman on the job… No more trying to understand Russian, or Spanish or whatever other language these guys speak on an already stressful enough day as it is.
I called and spoke with Elvis, who truly was a rock star. He came over the house to do a walk through and gave us a GUARANTEED price. No up-​charges or surprises on the day of the move. This guy was cool with a capitol C. Seriously, by the time he left I was regretting not inviting him and his wife over for some drinks and Cards Against Humanity. Upstanding individual.
Day of the move came and even though I was still completely unprepared (that’s an entirely different story, let’s not go there…) these guys came in like a tornado and moved with such a quickness and finesse I was amazed. They cleared out the house faster than I could have imagined and were setting up the furniture (rugs and all) at the new home by the time I arrived.
Here’s the kicker… this is where it goes from good to GREAT.
A couple months into our move as the boxes were almost fully unpacked (don’t judge! we have a newborn) my wife and I noticed we were missing an item. It wasn’t something that was overly expensive, but enough that it was really getting under our skin. What had happened to this item? We had found things that we knew were surrounding it in the old house, but not the item itself.
Not thinking anything was fishy (I don’t think it was stolen) I wrote Elvis an e-​Mail, something along the lines of…
«Hey Elvis, do you guys have a lost and found of some sort? We can’t find „x“ and was wondering if it popped up anywhere.»
He told us to search a little bit more and we did. I literally looked everywhere and opened up boxes I had already put away in the attic and garage to no avail. So what did Elvis do? HE SENT US A CHECK FOR THE ITEM!!! Wow… wow… wow… Like I said, it wasn’t a crazy expensive item, but that alone has put them in my book as the best moving company I’ll ever and have ever dealt with.
We now suggest them to everyone we know that is moving and would never think twice about calling…
Thanks Elvis, you are the absolute best.

We recently relocated from Lawrenceville, NJ to Nothern Illinois. This was not my first cross-​country move, but it was definitely my BEST! I got a number of quotes from other companies but Optimum was the clear winner from the beginning. Rarely does the company with the lowest quote also have the highest ratings, but in this case, it was true.
First I had an in-​home consultation with Elvis (no really, that’s his name), who then gave me a clear flat-​price for the entire job. No hidden fees, nothing to worry about. Plus their bed-​bug free guarantee was unique among all the other companies.
When moving day arrived, the team was a few minutes late but not by much (and it was just due to traffic in the area). The whole team was nice and courteous, very professional. They packed up everything and had it loaded before I even had time to worry about anything. All the boxes were brand new, and everything got boxed and wrapped perfectly (including dish packs and wardrobe boxes).
They arrived out in Illinois on the day they promised, and was unloaded to our 2^nd-​story unit as quick as can be. Everything was set up and perfect. We’ve unloaded all the boxes and NOTHING was broken, which is awesome. The only small snafu was that a couple little things got left in the truck by accident, wedged between some blankets and things (it was a job where we shared a dedicated truck with another customer — saved us both some money too!). They shipped the misplaced item back out to us as soon as could be arranged, minus a few items that were odd shapes and not easy to ship. Elvis asked if we’d rather have them shipped or just get a check for $ 50 — considering how low in value the items were, we were happy to just get the check and save everyone the hassle.
All in all, our experience was fantastic, start to finish. They were very professional and capable, and exceeded expectations. It’s clear they value customer feedback and positive reviews, and they treat their customers very well. A+++!

I called Justin to see if his crew was available on our moving day and they were booked for two weeks (good sign — very busy!) but not only did he refer me to another reputable person, but he took time to give me a ballpark estimate, warn me about some sketchy movers tactics, and two other websites to check out.
Amazing he would take the time to help out someone he wasn’t going to be able to work with… says a lot about him as a businessperson. Give him a call!

We have moved a lot… approximately 6 times in the past 5 years. That’s a lot of moving companies to test out. Optimum Moving is by far the absolute best from start to finish that we have ever used.
The team was:
— On time
— Courteous
— Detailed
— Fast
— Affordable
and just over-​all amazing!
Every moving company should use Optimum as a standard.
Highly recommended!
