Great moving company

Exceptional service. From the first video pricing, to the several calls, the emails, the move itself.. Accuracy and punctuality are their nature. Very professional, courteous, and friendly movers. I highly recommend FlatRate for anyone looking for an excellent and affordable moving company. This is my third time moving with them, and I am very satisfied.

The men that moved me listened to my needs. The move was excellent. The only thing I was unhappy with is the move was suppose to happen in the morning between 9-10 but then they couldn’t get to me until 2:00. But they did keep me informed.

We had a great experience with FlatRate Moving. Everyone we communicated with was really kind and responsive through the whole process. I also appreciated getting a confirmation call a few days prior to the move with the opportunity to make any last minute changes, and receiving a link day-of so we could track the movers' ETA. The moving teams was on-time, efficient, careful with our belongings, and easy to work with. They did a great job making moving day go as smoothly as possible and we would use FlatRate again in the future and recommend them to others.

Find another company

Do not use. I had an awful experience and had heard not back from customer support. The movers stole items from my house, made uncomfortable comments, took several cigarette breaks, and did a terrible job packing. We spent hours re- doing their work. I would advise people to find a different company, especially as there are so many other options.

Update: customer service finally got back to me with a measly apology and “compensation” to refund the stolen items and my time for redoing the entire move job. I let them know it was not satisfactory, and have not heard back.

Overall, it seems that using this company is a total risk and gamble. Not worth it if you have nice items you care about.

These 3 guys from FlatRate

These 3 guys from FlatRate — Nikita, Zafar, and Mansur —who moved me were fantastic: VERY polite, super-efficient, calm, careful, courteous, and VERY fast.
Anyone who has moved will attest to how stressful moving can be. And I was DREADING moving today. In fact, I wasn’t ready for this at all when I woke up this morning! But these three gentlemen took all the stress out of the equation. Just wonderful to work with. Very sweet guys.
This is the third time in 10 years I have used FlatRate to move in NYC. And I can only say good things about every experience I’ve had with this company. HIGHLY recommended. And very reasonably priced for the superior services they provide. Five stars, hands down.

Excellent communication with sales and movers were efficient and fast.

Great communication with sales, dispatch on top of moving day schedule and movers very efficient, fast and patient with other building activity that occupied elevators and that could slow down moving process

BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY!

BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY!

They delivered my belongings almost TWO WEEKS LATE. Which means it took almost a MONTH to get my belongings delivered. This delayed me being able to open my business and cost me THOUSANDS of dollars of revenue!!!!!!!! Not only that, because they had my stuff for a MONTH, I had to buy doubles of a lot of my things because they had everything I owned including my newborns things.

Then, salt on the wound they tried to offer me a $375 refund for this. Simply deplorable, what a laughable amount to offer. A full refund would be appropriate since they lost me so much income as the SOLE PROVIDER for a newborn.

The Best!!!

After having a horrible experience with another moving company, I was anxious to see how things would go with Flatrate. But to my surprise, they exceeded all of my expectations from the start to the end. The moving team was accommodating, quick, efficient, and gentle with my belongings. I didn't write down names but the Jamaican man was incredible and super professional! Could not have asked for a better experience. Also shoutout to Adam for being patient and understanding during the pre-planning of the move. Flatrate please never change!! I'll be back for my next move!

Do Not Hire FlatRate Moving

Do Not Hire FlatRate Moving – A Total Disaster from Start to Finish!!!

Save yourself hours of stress, confusion, and wasted time — do not hire FlatRate Moving. From the very first interaction, this company demonstrated an astounding level of incompetence and disorganization that borders on negligence.

I hired FlatRate to manage a move from Louisville, KY to Asheville, NC, and every phase of the process — from scheduling to delivery — was a complete mess. There was no single point of contact. The job was passed around to multiple people, none of whom had a grasp on even the most basic logistics like pickup times or delivery locations. At one point, your own team couldn’t even tell me where my belongings were in the system.

Communication was abysmal. There were no updates, no automated systems, no proactive outreach. Then — nearly two weeks after pickup — I received a text message at 10:44 PM on a Sunday night, informing me that the movers would be arriving the next morning, unannounced. No warning. No courtesy call. Just a sudden drop-in, as though this level of chaos is normal for your operation.

To make matters worse, the driver spoke only Russian — no English, no Spanish — which made it impossible to communicate basic instructions or clarify anything on-site. How is a logistics company sending drivers on cross-state deliveries with no shared language and no translator or liaison?

This entire experience has been unacceptable. You are running a national moving company with all the professionalism of a fly-by-night Craigslist operation. I would strongly discourage anyone from trusting your team with their possessions — or their time.

Thumbs down for Flat Rate

Flat rate was my go to movers for 4 moves so. This time it seemed like a no brainer . The day of the move after arranging for the 2 buildings to have workers ready flat rate called to tell us the move needed to be pushed till the afternoon. There was no reason given . Just a “ too bad, cannot help it “
Response . We called piece of cake and got the move done exactly when it was supposed to ….. and the price was the same …… so thumbs down for flat rate . You have lost a client.

We’re very sorry to hear about this experience, especially as a loyal customer who has chosen FlatRate Moving for multiple moves in the past. Reliability and punctuality are cornerstones of our service, and it’s clear we fell short on your most recent move.

Unexpected scheduling changes are not the standard we set, and your feedback has been shared directly with our operations team for review. While many customers rely on us for on-time, professional, and stress-free moving services, we recognize that consistency matters most — and we regret that we did not deliver the level of service you expected and deserved.

We truly appreciate your past trust in us and hope you’ll consider giving us the opportunity in the future to show you the dependable, customer-first service that FlatRate is known for.
