Carton came recommended by our realtor, and they did a great job! We especially appreciated the movers' tolerance of the heat and humidity on our move day, and their creativity getting our large couch into our townhouse was a marvel. Very polite as well.

They may be reasonable in price but we had a really bad experience with this company. I'm shocked they are affiliated with such a reputable company like Allied Van Lines.
We had to store our items in the truck at their facility for 5 days. The day of the move in, we realized that a lot of valuable things went missing. Power tools, TV, kitchen appliances, jewelry cabinet, etc.
They say their facility is gated, secure and locked down but it is not. I went and parked in their lot to find employees driving their personal vehicles in and out of the building. Strange isn't it? I happen

Yesterday was day 2 of my family's move from Harding Township, NJ to Bernardsville, NJ. We hired JD Carton based on positive reviews we had read and based on Michael Gionis' (JD Carton moving consultant) pre-move visit to our home. He knew that our job would take two days & he knew what resources would be required to complete the move. He didn't waste my time and he was super responsive. I wish I had met him 3 moves ago.
Our closing got delayed and I had to change our move date at the last possible second...literally at 5pm the day before the move. I was stressed beyond belief

They moved us from NYC to San Francisco and were horrible. Our stuff was stored in a warehouse for a few nights before the driver came out to SF. He called us to let us know that there was an item missing from the manifest. He said the manifest said "storage bin", and I knew exactly what went missing. It was my husbands box of childhood video games, well worth over $2000, though considered priceless to us of course. We paid for insurance of course, and when we filed a claim, they denied it, saying that they had no way of knowing what was actually in that box because they didn't pack

I contracted JD Carton to manage the move from my home in Staten Island NY to my new home in Bellmore NY. Due to the timing of the closing date for my new home, it was necessary to put my belongings in storage for a period of approximately one month.
The first phase of the move occurred on June 27, when all of my belongings were picked up from my old home on Staten Island. All items appeared to be tagged and inventoried as they were being put on the truck to be moved to their storage facility .
I arranged for the second phase of the move to Bellmore

Do not us JD Carton & Sons. (only gave 1 star because you cannot give 0)
This was the worst customer service experience I've ever had. The sales man was extremely pushy and hesitant to answer any of our questions regarding their legal terms and insurance coverage. Never a good sign but we went forward with them because of the national presence.
That was a HUGE mistake! Where do I start...The movers that picked up our items left spit out sunflower seed shells all over our apartment. We had to have professional cleaners come in to get these up. Then there was almost no communication while

I did a very local move in the same town with J.D. Carton and was very impressed with 4 guys who did my move. I moved few times before and had few really bad experiences, so I was a little nervous. But everything went well. The movers were extremely professional and worked 10 hours straight, taking only 15 minutes for lunch. I only needed to move furniture and didn't need them to pack a lot of small items. But whatever needed to be packed was packed and they didn't charge me for packing material wich was a nice surprise. Definitely would recommend them.

This company is terrible. Did a local move with them and couldn't believe how much of my stuff got broken or damaged. The movers were literally throwing the boxes to each other in a effort to save time, which I never understood since they get paid by the hour. They also left stuff on the truck when they were finished which had to be delivered to me later, but only after weeks of being told by the office staff that nothing was left behind. When I called about the large amount of damage to my stuff, they said it was my fault that I didn't buy the insurance from them (even though their

We used this company for a cross country move from NJ to CA. Needless to say it was one big mess. Amongst property damage, lost items being hung up on by their custiomer service specialist, misinformation over and over again and a very late arrival....I still do not have all my items, centimental items that cannot be replaced, items I know were in boxes that were now missing such as engraved baseball bats that I bought in Cooperstown for my two young boys never arrived but the stands that were in the same box did....hmmmm. In any case I reached out to their customer service specialists, CEO

This is a moving company we used for a move from N.J to Florida in December. .
One of our boxes was not delivered. I spoke to their so called customer service department, some lady named Jean Marie. Explained the problem and she told me she would handle it and get back to me.I have spoken with her well over 10 times. They claim they know where the box is but are unable to contact the customer it was delivered to or the driver of the van. It's now february 18, 2011 and still have not received my property. I understand things can get lost and That's OK, but this company doesn't
