This company was used by my parents to help them move...they had nothing but the best things to say about them...Courteous, professional, punctual and all around an excellent company - Can't say enough good things about them - Thank you for helping my parents and I appreciate all you did in making a stressful situation that much less stressful!

I moved an alcove studio from upper west to upper east. First time paying for "real movers", not like "Flatrate" etc... worth every penny! Came to apartment to prepare quote. No online quote that gets renegotiated on move day. Rep was on time and nicely dressed and professional. Actual cost less than quote. On move day three men, nice, friendly, organized. Guys had a good system. Arrived on time and finished in estimated time. My move was touch and go because so needed board approval and Padded Wagon was very flexible. Also took care of all insurances timely. No damage on move

Take your possessions and run as fast as you can in any direction away from this company. After when you're in storage when my items were returned there was over $50,000 and broken items. Their insurance company paid not enough to cover the cost of restoration. They also didn't give me any money for the cruise volume of my antiques. They also did not pay me the $75,000 in items that were stolen. Bad news bad news bad news. Worst moving experience ever run run run run runT

Used this company for a large move within New York City, items in storage for a year and then another large move from NYC to Florida.
Wonderful moving crew who try to do their best despite no help from their management.
Don't use them. If you care about:
- prompt, or indeed any, responsiveness to customer problems,
- being treated fairly,
- accurate estimates (mine was off by 50% despite the company having moved the same items a year previously)
- not having your belongings held to ransom with demands for additional payments,
- prompt delivery; and
- not having your precious items

I hired Jim Mahon's Movers in NJ and this dirty, small truck labeled Padded Wagon came to load my belongings on the morning of my house walk thru and closing.
The scam started to unfold-they needed another truck and more men-and they still were not done in time. Against my direct assurances that they would not, they brought my belongings to the Bronx overnight where they opened the truck and removed my bed,boxspring,mattress, bedframe-all on film according to a rep.; cloth chairs and wood furniture had black grease on them, hand trolleys used to load were not used to unload and laughter as

Do yourselves a favor and don't get this company to move you, I called up 2 weeks in advanced and gave them the date I needed to move, I got an estimator on the phone who quoted me $620 to move only bedroom furniture and 3 boxes down the road to my new place which was only a few min drive, I thought it was reasonable enough so I agreed, the estimator told me someone will call me a few days before the move to confirm everything, I waited and I got no phone call. The day before my planned move I called them again and guess what?! No one knew anything about my phone call I made 2 weeks before

My parents used the Padded Wagon for a recent move. The movers were unprofessional, slow & did not complete the job as promised. They were unable to do a single day move as planned because a mover got sick. The company did not offer any compensation for the delay. They did not correctly protect the furniture & many pieces were damaged. I would not recommend them!

We were recommended by friends who had a recent A+ experience with Padded Wagon. We were moving from a large home in NJ to an apartment in NYC with the need for storage of a large amount of content for about 3 months. From the initial contact with Billy who provided a detailed proposal and estimate based upon our needs, to follow up and moving, our experience during this demanding and stressful event could not have been more satisfying.
We were contacted 1 week prior to the move date with a confirmation and time to expect the moving team. A phone call the morning of the move by the dispatcher

Borderline criminals. Quote was 3.5 hours. Tried to bill for six hours. Showed up an hour late. Called dispatch when he movers were slow. He said they were at lunch. To be clear, they were billing is for a lunch break. The move was for a studio apt and it was about 15 blocks from old place to new. Again...6 hours. For good measure, the dispatch guy yelled at my girlfriend when she called to ask where the movers were. Just awful.

Five stars!!!!! I've used padded wagon twice already and have always had an amazing experience. They're the best moving company in NYC. I literally can't think of anything more stressful than moving, and Padded Wagon makes it such a breeze. I don't even have to lift a finger. And I can actually enjoy the process. The movers are always friendly and offer great service. They professionally pack all my fragiles, they carefully wrap my furniture and handle everything with care! I have storage with them as well and am happy with their pricing. I've recommended them to multiple

The Worst! Had reserved a month in advance, they called saying 5 trucks are broken down and asked if they can do the move in 2 days with a $100. Discount. We arranged it and they never showed up. If you get someone name Moon hang up and shop somewhere else, you will be looking at the Moon waiting for him.

The absolute worst moving company in the New York area. Totally unethical and incompetent. They book jobs and then don't show up. And they don't even call to tell you they are not coming! This happened when they were supposed to deliver the boxes and packing material and then again when they were supposed to pick up the furniture. They are totally unreliable.
USE ANYONE BUT THEM!
And I suspect many of the favorable reviews are contrived and written by employees.

New York location: Great experience! We only reserved less than a week ahead and were able to get movers. The quote was almost SPOT ON it was amazing. Rick was great to work with and asked all the right questions. We also moved on a super rainy day and our two guys Manny and Ray were awesome. They braved the rain, were patient when the elevators broke down a couple times in our new building and were so pleasant the whole time. I highly recommend Padded Wagon in the NYC area.
