   Communication & Helpfulness

   I hired this company back in July 2020. The price I was estimated over the phone, then at the walk thru was just about the same that I paid on moving day! The only reason that the price increased was because of MY preference to keep my electronics more safe during transport. I was given the option though.... Fast forward to yesterday, my items have been housed at their warehouse since this time due to personal issues. My bill is paid consistently each month with no issues from the company. I needed to remove some items from section in their warehouse and did not realize it would be such an annoyance for the workers. (I actually felt bad because they had my stuff packed and tucked away so nicely and here i go needing the box allll the way in the back underneath EVERYTHING).... I did not realize that access to my belongings was limited and the men helped me by taking down all my boxes and crap in order to find what i needed. It was not easy or a one, two, three thing. I feel like they went out of their way to help me! I see a lot of negative reviews so i just wanted to show my appreciation to you guys at Olympus Moving! And i am never one to write reviews lol but you guys deserve your credit! Jennifer

   Great moving company.

   The crew of 4 arrived on time, were polite and worked hard and fast. They wrapped our furniture first with blankets and then in boxes to ensure no damage. Extremely happy with this company!

   Excellent customer service.

   Moving is always a stressful time.  Even though I was moving within NYC, it was still stressful.  I was glad to choose Olympus Moving and Storage as they are extremely professional with their customer service.  Their movers are also professional in appearence and they are careful with my things when moving. I will recommend them to anyone who needs a moving company!

   This is a first rate moving company!  Moving is incredibly stressful and complicated and Olympus relieved more of that stress than I could have imagined.  They were professional, honest, committed to the outstanding price quotes, and most importantly took care of our belongings.  Leaving the moving and handling of your possessions to someone else is a nerve wracking affair but Olympus was outstanding.  I never once felt like just another customer - I felt like their only customer!  You will not be disappointed by hiring Olympus.

   Great experience.

   Thank you, Olympus, for caring for my personal items like they were your own. It's hard to find a company who treats you so well. The price was good (not super cheap, but with moving companies, you get what you pay for, so definitely do not let "cheap" be your only criteria), and their attitudes were pleasant and likeable.  You won't be disappointed.

   Wonderful Service!

   Back when I was living in New York and I had to move to a different place a friend of mine had called me and told me about Olympus Moving and Storage becase she had worked with them before and I was surprised with how fast they had gotten me a quote as well. I was extremely surprised with how good their customer service was when I needed help with storage as well. They were really great people and I would love to work with them again in the future if ever needed! Thank you! I don't think my move would have been possible if it wasn't for you guys!

   Great Service.

   I wanted my family to have a stress-free moving experience, so I decided to search online for a reputable company. I decided to hire Olympus Moving and Storage. They were very careful not to damage my items, or nor did they take  a long time transferring my items to my new location. Unlike other companies I’ve used in the past, overall, I am pleased with the service of  Olympus Moving and Storage. I would highly recommend these guys to others who want a comfortable way to move and to be assured of having a good experience.    .

   Terrible.

   Where to begin. What a Rip off. So I had to move cross country and this company can back with the best price per cubic feet. In addition, I decided to get the "on-site estimate". The estimator came to the house when we had everything packed in the garage. It was actually already packed for a few weeks and in our garage. We told him only this stuff right here. The estimator notice we had about 8 bags full of clothes that we were going to bring in the car with us when we drove. He said that it wouldn't cost that much to ship, it only looks about 40 cubic feet but we need to put it all in boxes. He said he will add the an extra 40 cubic feet for the clothes, if we still decide to drive with them then we will have a little extra room in the truck. So the estimator wrote down the inventory said he will do us favor and over estimate the cubic feet so we aren't charged extra, then added an extra 40 feet on to the estimate total. On the day of pick up, the pick up driver looks around and says there is no way the estimator saw these clothes and to ship them would be an additional $600. Which makes absolutely no sense because it was 6 boxes, each was 8 cubic feet and they charge $4 per cubic foot which would total 192. He also said that they NEVER add additional cubic feet and basically that I have nothing but my word that says he added it on. He also was now picking things up like a few painting and the bigger baby toys and said that they all need to be in boxes or he isn't taking them, even though they are on the inventory. He kept saying that I must have added stuff to it after. He then says "the inventory says 32 medium boxes so that's all I am taking" Now of these 32 medium boxes, 6 of them were less than a cubic foot (a box of greeting cards, a box of small trinkets etc.) I thought I was paying per cubic feet? Each medium box is supposed to be 6 cubic feet. So why am I now getting charged per item? After many hours of arguing, we finally agree to take the clothes ourselves in our car. Mind you now we are still being charged for the extra 40 cubic feet that we aren't utilizing. There were 4 other people from my husbands company that was moving to texas as well. ALL 4 of them had a on-site estimate and the same guy who picked up our stuff picked up theirs. All 4 of them weren't there at pick up since they were at work so they weren't there to observe what was going on. All for of them were charged hundreds of dollars more than their estimates. I would have given them 1 star but the drop off crew was very pleasant. I have a 9 month old who was napping and they were sure to be very quiet and didn't wake her. That was the only good part about the whole experience. The manager is of no help either btw, he is rude and speaks to you as if you are an invalent. Keeps saying that it wasn't on the list (the clothes), even though the list didn't add up to the cubic feet of the estimate, I even added together the cubic feet of each item on the inventory and it didn't even hit 350, yet we were charged for 420. He keep saying how they never have ANY complaints, then he would say that it's always the small jobs that cause problems. So which is it buddy? What a joke that guy is. Honestly we would have cancelled the whole thing be we were so pressed on time by that point, so they took advantage of us. The best part is that a few days later we noticed a few items that we saw them pick up and load on the truck were now back in our garage behind some shelving. These people are a rip off. DO NOT USE.

    RUN AWAY FROM THESE CROOKS!

    HORRIFIC! I have moved 15 times and this was the absolute WORSE experience ever. We were moving my daughter from a small NYC studio apartment to Rhode Island. They quoted us $1140 and same day delivery. When they arrived, they said they would not honor same day delivery, that it would be within 7 days. But wait it gets worse! They brought 5 guys, of which only 2 were working. We had some items, like pillows that needed packing. One per box. It took them less than 1 hour to pack some loose items and load everything onto the truck. They then came back in and said the move was priced wrong and it was now going to be $4500! Yes, seriously! My daughter had to be out so we had no choice. They told her if she didn’t agree they were going to dump her stuff on the curb. ALL, this is a true story and I am seeking legal recourse. STAY AWAY!
