The Padded Wagon is New York's largest moving and storage company, and we're proud to do things differently for the benefit of our customers. Pricing: When we tell you the cost of your local or long distance move or other service, it's guaranteed "not to exceed" pricing, rather than a typical flat rate.
So, we'll tell you the price, but if your service ends up costing less than we thought, we'll charge you less. But, we'll never charge you more. And, we don't overbook. If we tell you there's time, and we'll be there. Management: The Padded Wagon is family owned and operated, with central management that oversees moving and storage services throughout the United States and abroad.

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

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

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.
