They arrived promptly, were careful, quick, clean, efficient, personable, organized and professional in every way. The woman in the main office was always very courteous, quickly responsive to all my inquiries, on top of all the details, and also very professional in every way. Three men moved furniture from storage in RI to two apartments in Manhattan.

The piano I have I am extremely attached to. I was concerned about moving the piano over such a long distance. They showed up on time, they recommended to have 4 men and they showed up with 4 men. They wrapped the piano in protective blankets, they handled the piano properly. They put the piano on a dolly and tipped it upright to get it in the freight elevator in my building. They loaded the truck carefully, they attached the piano to the truck so it would not move. They drove 70 miles to a very difficult location to find an... read more

Had a difficult time determining from the cryptic markings on the boxes where the materials had been located and what the boxes contained. | |Why the business insists on cash or a certified check when you're given an estimate is beyond me. Cottage industry business that could use a little administrative updating. | |I would have readily paid more for more precise and professional service. I thought I had made it clear that I was counting on them to take care of everything and ask me if they had any questions. Not quite so...... read more

Business response:

[member name removed] and I spoke recently and I personally addressed his concerns. [member name removed] explained that he is recovering from a serious illness, and was under duress during the move. We strive to satisfy each of our customers here at Big John’s. We do accept bank checks, money orders, traveler's checks and personal checks (for storage), which we state on our estimate forms and Bills of Lading. [member name removed] said he would consider recommending Big John's and using our services again, and we do greatly... read more

As complicated as I thought it would be, having moved a ton, Big John's made it easy. Everything was confirmed multiple times, the crew who did the move was prompt both days and worked quickly. They were careful with my stuff and so efficient. I've moved at least a dozen times and this by far was the best service from start to finish. I packed my belongings but items like mirrors and TVs were well taken care of. The crew set everything up for me including items they hadn't taken a part because they'd been in storage for a co... read more

My initial phone call was received with the utmost courtesy, all my questions were answered and suggestions for best service offered. At the initial visit, the provider was right on time, friendly and professional and knowledgeable. On moving day they were prompt, used an effective accounting and labeling system. When the movers arrived at my new home, they put the labelled boxes into the relevant rooms. I cannot speak too highly of the entire experience. Will recommend them completely without reservation especially for anyo... read more

Great, they did a wonderful job, were pleasant and easy to work with. Took apart and then put together a particularly difficult bed, without a complaint. Price came in less than the original quote! Pack and move residence to residence
