Don't use these people - currently holding my belongings hostage.:
These folks do what movers do, which is to underestimate weight and cubic feet and then increase the price after they take your belongings, even though inventory is actually a little less than estimate is based. Because I refused to pay additional undocumented charges they are holding my belongings hostage and refusing to deliver. I filed a BBB complaint 14 days ago and they haven't responded at all. I filed an additional complaint today with the FMCSA.
In summary: 1) They only showed up on the day they confirmed because I demanded it but showed up well outside of the confirmed time window and kept me and my neighbors up until 4:30 in the morning to complete the move. 2) They have increased the price when it really should have lowered since there were items on the inventory not included in the move. They haven't documented anything to justify additional charges 3) They misquoted the insurance coverage and are either unable or unwilling to provide evidence of coverage. 4) They have threatened me with late fees when it is they who failed to collect payment at pick up. 5) They are currently holding my belongings hostage and refusing to deliver because I haven't agreed to pay additional unsubstantiated costs.

Horrible horrible movers:
THIS COMPANY HAS FAMILY AND FRIENDS LEAVE FAKE POSITIVE REVIEWS... The owners name is SAM BITTON. Look below and see the review from his brother SHLOMI BITTON! I have never felt so scammed by a company ! I do not want anyone to have to endure the trama that My family has suffered at the hands of AVAILABLE MOVERS. I am a devout Christian and I consider my self an honest person so you can believe this review! I contacted available movers to move my father ( a veteran) from New York to virginia.. We sold nearly all of the furniture and appliances.. So we were only moving boxes etc.. We were given a quote of $1500 .. They arrived at my Fathers home and loaded the truck and departed. We were told that all items would be delivered within 5 days. Two days later we were contacted by Available movers and we were told that they would not make my fathers delivery until we paid an additional $2400!! WE DID NOT HAVE $2400 in cash and available movers held my fathers shipment for 36 days until we could raise the $2400 in cash!!! This event was so traumatic to my Father that he called Veterens affairs for help. It is bad enough that Available Movers scam innocent people but it is absolutely despicable that they did this to a decorated veteren! Veterans affairs was so appalled by this that they have contacted the necessary authorities in order to shut this company down Veterens Affairs encourage victims to contact THE US DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION FEDERAL MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY ADMINISTRATION Bernard Iacampo Special Agent Commercial Specialist U.S. DOT/FMCSA New York City Field Office 1 Bowling Green, Ste. 420 New York, NY 10004 Office: (212) 668-2130 Ext. 106 Fax: (212) 668-2133

Thanks for the help again!:
I have always had a positive experience with Available Movers. Over the last 2 years, I’ve hired Available Movers team several times to move my family, my parents and my son. On the move day Harold and his crew showed up on time and worked at a rate of effectiveness that was very pleasing to me. This is a family owned company that really attends to their clients. Every member of the team, from the owners to the movers went out of their way to make this a painless move. No scratches, nothing broken, very friendly staff; I am happy. Thanks for the help again!
