I have done multiple moves with FlatRate and they are the best. I always work with Ming to set up my moves. She is wonderful! And the movers they have assigned to me are always kind, efficient and careful. I highly recommend!

We hired Flatrate to move us within Westchester. The only smooth part of the process was the virtual walkthrough price assessment. After that, everything went downhill. Communication has been absolutely horrendous with no followup on questions or complaints. Primary screw-up was that flatrate forgot to send packers the day before our move. We paid for the company to pack us up. Initially, we had asked if it would be possible to move and pack on the same day, but were told it was not possible because there was too much stuff. Understandable. So, I had to cancel all of my scheduled appointments

Can we give a no stars rating? Our items were returned to us in unusable condition and certainly not the condition we provided them in. The mattresses and furniture had severe water damage and mold and must be replaced. No one advised us of this prior to the delivery. It is unacceptable and unprofessional that we paid the move out, storage and move in costs and have to discard the items, incurring not only the costs paid to but replacement costs as well. Any reasonable person using a storage company would assume that items would be safe from such damage. To make matters worse

Run away from FlatRate!!! Hire them at the peril of your possessions and belongings. We hired them for a coast-to-coast move. Full service. They packed and moved everything. Unfortunately, upon delivery nearly every single item was damaged or destroyed -- the entire contents of our home. Packing, no less professional packing, was non-existent. Breakable objects were simply placed in a cardboard box with no cushioning and along with various other unprotected items. Flatscreen TVs and computer monitors had paper draped over them as protection, gouging and irreparably damaging the screens. Boxes arrived
