Molloy Brothers was fabulous and absolutely great. We even recommended them to a few other people. They were efficient and clean. There wasn't a mark on the walls in either place, where we left and where we moved in. It was a wonderful experience.

We have since been contacted by Malloy Bros. who paid us a satisfactory amount to resolve the issue.
Original Review: Sept. 3, 2014
They lost numerous boxes and damaged multiple items. They never even looked for them. They also broke a $2000 antique chair and offered us $200 for its repair. Damaged 10 more items and denied it even though the delivery guys admitted and stated how ridiculously packed the van was. Can't seem to reach the salesman of course.
Customer is correct. There were issues and they are being addressed with the home office (Mayflower). We picked up the shipment and brought to our warehouse where another company brought the items to Utah. We do accept responsibility and as a result, have Mayflower dealing with the issue as they are required to do. Mayflower offered a settlement of $3565 plus some fees but it was rejected by the homeowner and is moving towards arbitration. We have done all we could do in this instance. We accepted ownership of the issue and have the proper parties negotiating a fair outcome. Our salesman was notified but has no input once the home office client services team takes over. I am the CFO and monitoring the situation closely and often. We are also taking corrective action internally to avoid a repeat issue.

The company's reps called me several times to follow up on my move. The CFO of the company called and gave me a price adjustment because of my bad experience with them. They are concerned about customer care and they did what they could to try to make it right.
Original Review: Aug. 8, 2014
I hired Molloy Brothers to move from New York to Massachusetts. This was a major move of my entire 3-bedroom home. I paid over $7000. They loaded the truck on one day and delivered it 2 days later. They promised to send 3 men for the move but they only sent 2 men, which I felt was a bait and switch. They had promised 3 men, and the move clearly called for at least 3 men. Since they only sent 2 men, the move took hours longer than it should have. In addition, since both men were moving furniture, nobody was keeping an eye on the truck at all, and all of my possessions were in it, completely unguarded.
Only 1 of the movers spoke English. The other man did not speak a word of English and I could not tell him what room to put things in or anything else because he did not understand me. The one who did speak English was rude to me. My new home has brand new hardwood floors. I asked him to please put something down like cardboard or whatever to make sure they didn't track in mud or dirt or damage the floors. It was a rainy and muddy day. He actually mocked me and made fun of me for that, and did not do it. He just tracked the dirt in on his shoes. He didn't care. They were the slowest movers ever. They were just ambling along like they didn't have a care in the world. They were not trying to get things done quickly at all.
I also had them do some packing for me. There were a number of large framed prints. Instead of packing them properly in mirror/picture boxes, they shoved a lot of them into the bottom of the wardrobe boxes. So when I unpacked the wardrobe boxes, I also had to pull out all these framed artworks. My estimate included 17 mirror/picture boxes and they used a lot less since they packed them unsafely in the bottom of the wardrobe cartons instead. I was promised a refund for the unused mirror/picture boxes but I have not received it. This was the type of job I would expect when I hire some cheapo "2 guys and a truck" mover, not when I pay $7000 to a major moving company.

Molloy Brothers were professional and handled our move quite professionally. They were on top of their game. I didn't want to move myself and we were referred to Molloy Brothers by Mark **. I just had a real problem with the foreman. He was really rude and impatient. He was kind of brusque and said there was too much loose stuff and I know that I was ready having grown up in the moving business myself and working packing jobs while in college. What happened is that I didn't get the keys to the place because there was somebody living in here until I moved in. I had to drive all the way to my husband's office and get a set of keys to let them in so they were kind of upset about that but I didn't have much damage.
I had one broken picture frame that's glass. Out of the whole move that's the only damage there was so that was pretty good but it was a local move. All in all it was fast and they got in and out and set everything up. They also moved my husband's office the weekend before. My husband who is in the moving business as well has known them for a long time too which is another reason why we chose them.

I considered some other companies for my move but was referred to Molloy Brothers by Rob ** -- I have a good relationship with him and he put me in touch with the local salesman. I thought that salesman was really, really nice and professional and easy to get along with so I felt comfortable going with them. I didn't move a very long distance but the crew was very fast. I had some of them pack stuff for me which was very, very quick. They were very polite and hardworking. My coordinator Diane ** and the salesman Chris ** were absolutely wonderful. The whole experience pretty much met all of my expectations. Easy, comfortable and efficient. I received the same service that I was promised. My sister is moving in a few weeks and she's going to use Molloy Brothers.

We were referred to Molloy Brothers Moving by my wife's brother so we decided to use them for our move when we purchased a new home. It wasn't too far, about 10 blocks away from our old address, no special need. The only thing is we got extra wardrobe boxes, packing up the glass, glass mirrors and stuff. They said they could pack it up but I wanted to pack it up. It was extra for them to pack it up. I did ahead of time. Everything was cool. It was a good move and everything worked out the way they said it's going to happen.

I was referred to Molloy Brothers by Dan **. We retired and we had a condo in Florida we sold so we decided to move. The move went as smooth as could possibly have been expected. It far exceeded our expectations. Most of the time, you hear the horror stories about moves, and we didn’t experience anything of that. The guys from Molloy Brothers that were involved were friendly; they were efficient. They were concerned about the outcome, as opposed to just working for a company. I absolutely received the same service I was promised, and it was fast and delightful.

Rob ** referred me to Molloy Brothers because I was relocating. I decided to go with them because just going through the very overwhelming job, it just made more sense to use a company. They were just a lot more together than I was. The room that had my stuff and my fiance is from two different locations, so they’re moving it into a smaller apartment on the third floor. They really had their work cut out to them and they really did a great job. So between the furniture and all of the extras that we had for the house, we had a lot of stuff.
The crew was great, very funny, very nice; they were constantly checking in, asking where things should be. Everyone was very careful and respectful of our stuff and our time. They took their action well and they had a lot of great suggestions as well with the house to maneuver things, and I was just very impressed with the fact that they moved the overstuffed chair up three flights of stairs, you know, one man, so that was very unbelievable. They've met my expectations completely. I was very happy with everything that came about, and I can’t say enough good things about the company and my experience. It was all simple and stress-free. I’d have to say they were responsible and just very organized.

My company referred Molloy Brothers Moving to me through the company relocation and job living in location service. The office is moving from New York City to Duchess County. I believe the mileage from my home to the new apartment is 125 miles. The moving crew were very professional and courteous, and they were extremely diligent in packing me up. They took great care to wrap up my belongings, nothing was broken. I had no issues or problems with the packing-up crew or the moving crew. My experience with Molloy Brothers exceeded the expectations that were set by my company. It was a successful move. I think that says a lot.

I was referred to Molloy Brothers by Shamus Barnes. It was for a big move. We were relocating from Jersey down to Florida. I had some very delicate items, some artwork, and I had them wrap those for me, and they came down beautifully. Nothing was broken. Everything was well-taken care of. I had furniture and had 50 some boxes. I had just an apartment, but still, it was a bed and couch and chair and tables and stuff like that, but they did a great job.
Their crew was great. They were very attentive. They were very detailed. I felt very comfortable with them, working as they did. They were very efficient. They were quick. It didn't take very long, which I was pleased with as well, but they didn't rush through anything. They made sure that I was comfortable with what they were doing and how they were wrapping things and does this go together or that and they were really very good at asking questions if they needed to. It went extremely well. The crew in Florida was great just as they were up in Jersey. And like I said, it was a huge move, a lot of stress on me and they helped to relieve that stress in knowing that everything was going to be okay during the move. And I completely trust Shamus anyway and he did a beautiful job.

Sold Mom's Long Island home of 50 years in order to move in with us in NJ. Movers arrived on time and were very fast and efficient. They left before us and we did a final cleanup and said goodbyes to the neighbors. When we arrived in NJ they were already there. I asked them to set up Mom's room and they put everything together just as it was in the old house. We were grateful for their speed and the handling of Mom's items. The movers were great with Mom. We sat to make the final payment and there were no additional charges or surprises. Was extremely happy with the whole experience. Would definitely recommend.

Molloy Brothers were excellent. I had no problems at all. I'd used them before when I moved from Manhattan into Rockefeller Center. I gave up my apartment in the city and I was living in Rockefeller Center. So he moved me from there to Windbrook to Freeport where I kept it in storage. And then from there, I moved into a house myself. When I moved to Florida, I had him do the move for that because that was just too much for me to do. I retired and I have a home in North Carolina and in Florida, and we decided to take the furniture and bring it to Florida because the house that I had in North Carolina which I've had for about 25 years is pretty well stocked. I haven't had that much furniture in the house I have in Florida. So we took the stuff in New York and brought it down to Florida. Everybody was superb, friendly and respectful. I had no problems, really. In fact, I recommended two other people to them for the move. James Molloy has lived up to his reputation. There's nothing wrong with it at all. It's excellent. It was all done first class. Nothing was damaged. Nothing was lost. So I'm very happy. It was very satisfactory.

We will never recommend or use Molloy Brothers again.

It was a very frustrating and exhausting experience. We will never use them again.

Items were put into storage, good pieces of solid wood furniture, etc. at the cost of 179 bucks a month plus tax. Since the items were in storage, when the time came to move cross country, I thought it would be the easiest and best to simply use them for the move. The appointed day came and the driver refused to move all items and boxes out and left. The company rep was contacted from the curbside and fully aware and even spoke to the driver and heard the truck pull out. Molloy Bros. had my credit card almost maxed out for their proposed charges for the entire move due to their employee not taking items.
Another mover was contacted to move a limited amount - again due to the credit card limit - and necessity to have some credit to cover costs of this 1800-mile move via truck with kids (one handicapped and pets). Motels/hotels were booked in advance due to moving with pets and a handicapped individual. The booking was cancelled due to Molloy Bros.' lack of contact and problems with the mover. I was told via Molloy Bros. that my storage items and the limited amount of items moved from my home would arrive on Sept. 14 and if this was not good, there were more fees for storage, etc. Again, my credit card was almost maxed out and, on top of this, the costs of the other moving company.
We arrived at destination only to now find out that my shipment does not arrive until Sept. 18. I drove 600 miles a day to make their deadline and wind up sleeping on the floor. The items from storage arrived damaged and filthy. I am overwhelmed with sheer anger due to their fees for so-called climate-controlled, protected storage. I would have been as well off sticking them in a garage and checking on them.
Molloy Bros. has been contacted three times now. They persist in sending out the same forms with their explanation for their compensation which remains inadequate and totally unacceptable. They also want me to sign the receipt for funds received and then according to their statement, their unacceptable amount will be forwarded. My questions to them remain unanswered, consisting mainly of damages while in storage, their contracted mover refusing to do the job and signature notarized for funds received while I have not received anything and also a release.
Now this goes to the BBB and the NYS atty general. Who signs a receipt stating "Received the sum of..." without having received a dime? They think because i am not residing within NYS THAT i will not pursue this issue to the fullest extent under the law. I would not recommend this bunch and I would like a NY atty. to contact me as if I were still residing there. We would be in small claims court a long time ago. This matter has been dragging on since August 2012. The same questions were asked and the same forms were sent out.

The movers sent to my home smelled. They looked like crack-heads and they were very careless with my belongings. When you first call Molloy Brothers, a nice young lady will answer the phone and tell you exactly what you want to hear. When we got our furniture, it was torn, ripped, and damaged. Then, they had the nerve to call me about more money. This company sucks. My wife was crying. We will never be able to replace this stuff.

Molloy Bros moved my furniture from my home in Northport, LI into their storage facility (Advance Metro Movers of LI) in Old Bethpage, LI in August of 2007. At the time, they estimated the costings based on my goods at 13,000lbs for the move and 1,400 cubic feet for the storage and I was advised they would weigh the goods going into warehouse and adjust the pricing accordingly. This never happened.
For the next 4+ years, I was either deployed or working up for deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan and so did not pursue the issue. This spring, I needed to move my goods to PA and contacted Molly Bros for a quote and they gave me one basis 15,000lbs and 1,500 cubic feet, a surprise as this was more than originally estimated and they had actually moved my goods and stored them - all which I had paid for in the move and have been paying for in storage fees. They again advised that they would adjust afterwards. I shopped around to other nationally known moving companies and they all, after looking at my inventory of goods, advised that it was their professional opinion that the weights and cubic feet were well inflated and basis that fact gave me quotes $2000.00 less than Molly was giving me. When I advised Molly that because of this huge difference, I would be using another company, they then told me I needed to pay an initial load out from the warehouse fee of $675.00 and an additional $675.00 because a third party company was moving me!
When the goods were moved, I had the goods weighed at a certified weighing station and it came in below 9,000lbs, 30% less than what they charged on my initial move! The cubic feet was 900 cubic feet, close to 40% less than what they had been charging me for close to 5 years of storage! All in, this was close to $6,700.00 of overcharging, not including the double fees for moving out. When I contacted them about this, they refused to address it at all and advised that there was nothing they could do for me. To add insult to injury, I had paid close to $10,000.00 in insurance fees and they refused my claim of $2,200.00 for damages claiming a third party moved my goods to PA. As if the three-hour drive to PA was responsible for the damages more so than close to five years in their warehouse after they initially moved the goods. All in all, a horrible experience and I would strongly suggest that one go anywhere but use these people for your moving and storage.
The facts and numbers speak for themselves and the discrepancies in the weights and cubic feet relative to the fees charged are egregious to the point of absurdity. They are either thieves or incompetent. Take your choice, but in either event, not someone you would trust to do business with. I'm in the process of pursuing this in other directions and hope to have the situation rectified, but it's not something I should have to do nor anyone who wants a pleasant moving/storage experience should have to be involved with. Beware and a word to the wise.

We moved from LI, NY to Florida. Several pieces of furniture were damaged, lamps were broken, and there were puncture holes in cartons ruining original paintings, etc. It is not possible to inspect every item and carton content when everything is delivered. I did call and complain and was sent a claim form to file within 9 months. I did so and the claim was summarily dismissed, because I signed that everything was delivered in "apparent" good condition. Needless to say, no further communication was made by Molloy Bros.

I recently made a complaint against Molloy Bros Moving related to my two part move from NY to FL. The company has contacted me to address my concerns. They presented me with aggressive pricing for my long distance move, and showed a real appreciation for my concerns. My company contact, Sandra **, was very helpful and made several proposals to help me meet my move date and budget. This has turned out to be very positive and pleasant experience after all, and I would recommend this company to all who are looking for a very professional moving company in the future.
Original Review: Oct. 22, 2011
I contracted with Molloy for a local move in Long Island to their storage facility, a short move that cost me over $4000 in upfront costs. After the move was completed, I was billed for extra handling and packing charges. I was also informed I was using 2 extra storage containers which raised my storage from $550 to $650 per month. Obviously there is no way to verify their information and you have to pay or you won't receive your property.
Now I am ready to move my property from storage to Florida. They want another $8000 for the move, plus $600 for warehouse fees. I received quotes from other reputable moving companies that were $1000 to $2500 cheaper. I sent Molloy the quotes and asked them to work with me on the price. Sandra ** refused to negotiate, stating all of the other firms were less qualified then Molloy (Allied and American Van Lines) and if I didn't use them, the warehouse fee would be doubled. What type of organization is this, and is this practice even legal? They use their storage service to gouge customers with extra fees. This relocation was to be the best time in my life (the move to sunny Florida).
My contact with Molloy has turned this into one of the worst experiences of my life. I am hoping to bring this to a conclusion without further monetary and distressing consequences. I would strongly recommend using another company. The firm seems to be all about making money by any means necessary, and not customer service.

UPDATE: The new managers at Molloy contacted me and made this situation right, which I appreciate. Like I said in the original review, everything was great aside from the surprise charges but I'm comfortable giving 5 stars with that issue resolved.
Original Review: Oct. 12, 2011
We decided to use Molloy over some of the other NYC movers, despite being quoted a price over $1000 higher than the others. We figured that since they were the only company that actually sent someone to our apartment to inventory our stuff and came off as professional, it would be worth the extra money. They explained to us how the other companies would quote much less then upcharge us and hold our stuff until we paid. Well, guess what Molloy is trying to do....
They are upcharging us $800 for "extra storage unit and extra packing supplies." Obviously, there is no way to prove either one of those claims, and they told us they wouldn't deliver our stuff until we paid.
Aside from this little suprise, everything else has gone smoothly. The packers and movers were polite and efficient on the first leg of the move, but our bill of almost 5 grand for a 30-mile move of a 1 bedroom apartment is outrageous (with 3 weeks of storage). Molloy still has a chance to do the right thing here and honor their original quote. I will happily give them the rating they deserve, if they clear this up.

We contacted and ultimately used this company after ensuring they did not have any negative feedback on the BBB web site. I am so sorry to say that this experience has been terrible from the day the movers arrived to pick up my belongings. On November 27, 2007, Molloy Bros movers arrived at my home to take all of my belongings into storage as we sold our house and were looking for a new one. We knew our belongings would be in storage for 3-6 months and paid the extra money for insurance above the policy that the moving company provided.
The day of the move we had several incidents including watching some large pieces of furniture be dropped before being put in the truck, watching movers talk on their cell phones when they should have been working and finally the estimate given to me was 25% less than the actual amount. All of the workers had not slept as they had driven through the night after delivering a load to North Carolina. Additionally, there was an unauthorized worker on the truck who attempted to steal an iPod from the house. We were unaware of this worker's status at the time and only learned he was not an employee after I met with Mr. Molloy prior to the move out from storage.
Apparently, he was a relative of the drivers. The move took more than 15 hours and needed to be completed the following day. Although they promised to finish moving us the following day, they did not. My husband had taken off another day from work only to learn they wouldn't get to us until the end of the week, at which time he had to take another day off.
I met with Mr. Molloy on May 2, 2008, prior to having our belongings moved from storage to our new house. He listened to all of my concerns. Our move out date was May 5, 2008. As a result, we did have extra personnel on hand to assist with the move in and the man who oversees quality assurance came by to check on things. While he was there he noted and photographed the damage we had uncovered up to that point. Again, we watched as several pieces of our furniture was dropped coming off the truck and into the house. Thankfully we had extra insurance and hoped to be reimbursed without a major hassle. Unfortunately this has not been the case as this experience has continued to be unpleasant and stressful to say the least.
I submitted the necessary paperwork to file a claim on July 29, 2008 and the company sent a representative from Furniture Medic to my home to assess the damage. They then sent me a letter outlining what they would pay and what they would not. One of the larger items that we saw them drop several times, they refused to cover saying the damage was due to atmospheric conditions. This was insulting and my husband and I sent them another letter, return receipt certified saying their offer was not acceptable and we needed to renegotiate on August 22, 2008. It is now the beginning of October 2008 and we have not heard back from them.
I just want to be reimbursed for all of the damage done to my belongings, extensive damage. Unfortunately Molloy Bros is no longer communicating with us and we need some assistance in resolving this. I hoped you may be able to help us with this. We are frustrated and don't really know what our next action should be or what recourse we have against this large company. I would appreciate any feedback and direction you can offer. If you would like copies of the letters we have written and the certified mail receipts signed by this company, I would be happy to provide them.
Finally, can you tell me who else I can report this to. Consumers have a right to know what they are getting involved in and who they are dealing with. I believe many people would benefit from my experience and perhaps use a different moving company. I appreciate the time and attention you have given this matter already and look forward to hearing from you. Thank you again.

Extensive damage to furniture, and attempted extortion.

I refused, and spent an hour and a half on the phone with Mayflower until they were convinced I wouldn't pay their extortion fee-then they unloaded.I am pursuing remedy myself-but what really annoys me is that YOU GUYS recommended these crooks--PLEASE TAKE THEM OFF YOUR GOOD GUYS ROSTER!!!

This company sold me a service and did not deliver. We signed a contract with them to move our personal belongings from NYC to Los Angeles. We were told that it was no problem to have the movers pick up our things in the morning, as I work in the afternoon. I scheduled the move 3 weeks ahead of time to assure there wouldn't be a conflict. On June 3rd the movers were supposed to arrive between 8am and 10am. They never showed up. I had to call them myself, (they didn't give us the courtesy to call), and at that time they told me that the movers wouldn't be getting to my apartment until the afternoon. I had to miss work, which cost me 5 hours.
The movers did eventually show up at 3:45pm, 5hours and 45 minutes late. I was then told by the moving coordinator, Sandra Chernoff, that we would know the total of our move in two days. Nobody called us. We call the company two days later and they tell us that they do not have a total for the move. They mis-represented themselves again. Not only did I not find out the total cost of my shipment two days later, I did not find out the total cost of my shipment until 13 days later. After many complaints to Molloy Bros. Moving, we were told that, regardless of all the other errors, we would be getting our things during the window they provided (June 13th to June 24th). We just found out that we will, infact, not be getting our personal belongings as they promised, until after June 27th.
This company has made many errors and has not tried to ammend them. They could have treated our things with priority after knowing that they had screwed up so many times, but they didn't. We just don't want anyone else to go through the same things we have with this company. This company was recommended to us and we have been completely let down. I want to get the word out that they are not nearly as good as their reputation seems to be and they have a major adversity to apologies. No one in that office has been upfront with us.

My belongings were picked up from my old apt. in NY on 11/29/02 and were put into storage until I notified the above persons of my new address. My shipment was to be loaded on a truck between 12/13-16/02 and I should have received them no later than 12/27/02, which already was an extended amount of time. I attempted to the above persons several times starting on 12/20 and never received an answer until 12/26 when I was told that my shipment never made it on the truck. No one, not even a manager had the decsceny to contact me to let me know that my bed, clothes etc... were not in route. I spoke with a manager, Harry O'Brien, and he said he would ship me some boxes UPS on 12/27/02. It is 1/7/03 and I have still not received them. On 12/30/02 I left him a voicemail to contact me and he never did. I once again had to go out of my way to call them. Furthermore, they charged the credit card used for the full amt of $2,700.04 when it was confirmed at $2,403.79 and even though I still have not received my shipment. I have been sleeping on an air mattress for the past 2 weeks. Furthermore, the moving company on this end, Black Diamond in Jackson, WY was never contacted to be informed that a shipment has been delayed. From the very beginning, Gladys Simeone told me that I would be treated as a VIP, because of family friends that used to work there. I wonder if this is VIP treatment, what happens to the regular customers. There was absolutely no adjustment made to my bill except for storage for the time it was not even supposed to be in storage. I do feel I should be compensated for such a huge inconveince, with very little, if any follow up.

Molloy Bros guarenteed our furniture delivery on July 1. July 5th was the latest delivery date. It is now July 9th and they keep postponing delivery. Will not return our calls. They apparrently don't even know where the truck actually is or when to expect it. They say Friday but they keep pushing back the dates and we never get a straight answer. I strongly recommend not to use Molloy Bros or Mayflower on your next move. Pay people to load a ryder truck and unload. That way you are in control not them.My wife is suffering severly from anxietly due to this. I was relocating my business and all my equipment is on board and I am suffering damages with that as well. We are sleeping on the floor. They offered to pick up our hotel expenses but that is not an option since we have pets and cannot continue to put any more stress on them since 2 of the cats are sick and 1 has had to receive medical attention already. At this point I only hope that due to the extreme heat in the northeast and inside the truck that my office equipment and personal belongings are not damaged.

I notice that Molloy Brothers is STILL on your site as a good guy. I have nothing good to say about a moving company that misrepresented their policies and then covered up their poor handling of our furniture. Now they are trying to refuse to pay on the insurance claim. Good Guys is not a phrase I would use to describe this company.
After walking Mr. Pastore through our house and pointing out the important fragile items, I was assured that their professional, non-temporary, experienced movers would be very careful with our things. On the day of the move, not only were the movers temps, but they only loaded. Another crew (thankfully better) did the unloading at the other end. While this may be standard practice in the moving industry, we were assured that Molloy Brothers used the same experienced movers at both ends. Sadly, the loaders dropped an antique radio, breaking the front and ruining most of its sentimental and aesthetic value. Instead of admitting to it, they hid the radio under several items. Now they are requiring a certificate of authenticity before they make good on our claim (for which we paid $245) since we didn't fill out a high-dollar form, a form about which we had never been told. We specifically chose Molloy Brothers because of their placement on this site. You might want to take them off of the good guys list.We are now the proud owners of a destroyed 1939 Philco radio/turntable. While the electronics were not in complete working order, the outside had been refinished to its original state. It had been in the family for 60 years. To buy another one like it would cost about $700.

Original quote for move was $6435. Final invoice after delayed move, (previously quoted to us as only costing $1200 more for storage) was $11,456.69 after they gave me a discount of $400. More than $3800 in increased hidden charges, claimed by them as items that were not initially counted.
