My Review by brentb719575122 via Citysearch on 4/8/2013
Beware! I used Big John's twice in the past and was quite happy with them, but recently received an estimate from them that was 33% higher than 1 year ago for moving the exact same amount of stuff and for a shorter distance. The…
My Review by Zuri via Citysearch on 1/17/2013
Excellent movers. I've moved many more times than anyone should have to in the last 12 years, and I've been dissatisfied (to put it kindly) with every single moving company I've used. Except for Big John's. Before our move from Manhattan…
highly recommend by B Samp via Citysearch on 11/23/2011
Used this company to move me out of a fifth floor walk up and can attest to the following:
** Nothing was damaged in the move
** The original quote I received was completely accurate except that the guys finished a little earlier than…
Breaks the stereotype of shady movers by homer333 via Citysearch on 3/10/2010
The best thing about these guys is they moved my stuff from NYC to Texas themselves. They didn't contract out to some other company to get it done for them. The same guy who picked up and packed my stuff in Manahattan was there in Houston…

smooth, stress-free move by nycgal3 via Citysearch on 3/13/2009
I hate moving more than anything. I called at least 20 movers to get estimates. I booked a less expensive mover who I had a problem with 2 days before my move and called Big Johns in a panic to help me out. They took my reservation…
I would not recommend this moving co. by deborah r via Insider Pages on 8/1/2007
I was quoted one rate...they charged me another.....they over charged me by a lot, but if you refuse to pay them, they have your furnishings. They use excess materials so they can charge you more. moving in NYC is tough but you should be…
They will get the job done by Davida L via Insider Pages on 7/20/2005
They will show up and get the job done, at a cost of time and money. Put your frustrations aside - there really aren't any 'great' movers in NYC - and just be glad you are in the process already. Make sure you visit the ATM beforehand…
