I was scheduled with Asata for I move from a storage facility this past Friday. I spent a week trying to contact them to confirm At various numbers to which neither number announced the moving company by its name and when someone picked up they just answered with a hello. That in itself was very unprofessional and finally when Deborah did get back to me she apologize saying they were having issues with their IT department which certainly was just an excuse I’m sure. The day of my move I took a half a day off of work and travel two hours to get to my location where I was meeting Asata movers between 2-4pm. Needless to say they didn’t show and no one called and I wanted until 7pm. After being totally frustrated I have course tried to text my sales rep Deb to no avail and called Alex several times with no answer. Later that evening I got him on the phone to which he answered the telephone again with a hello not with a company name and then Told me yes the truck broke down. Do you think that if this was the truth they would’ve had the decency to call me and let me know that they were having issues if that was indeed true. Obviously I am not using them for my move and I have to have new movers now scheduled and I am awaiting my deposit back which they conveniently have not honored as of yet. Do not use this company I do not understand how a business can run so inefficiently. Terrible experience

I've been through a few moving companies over the years, and these guys are the BEST and very fair in price. They arrived early and came with muscle. They were fast, efficient, careful and they wrapped all of our big pieces up very well. No damage was done at all. We had a 2 bedroom with lots of furniture and they did it all in 4 hours. Removal + delivery. Done!! One thing to note is when they ask "How many pieces of furniture do you have" for your quote, be very very specific. Other movers that I talked to only wanted to number of "really big" pieces, so that's what I told this crew, so they came with 3 guys. The owner called me after the movers on site reported the real total to him - explaining that he would have sent 4 if he had known how much more work there was, but he didn't charge me extra for the mix-up in communication and we took good care of the guys with fat, well-deserved tips, as we all should. On the second round of dropping everything off at our new place, 2 more movers from their team magically appeared to help the main crew get it done quicker. I am so impressed - :) Thank you Alex!

At the end of April 2021, my family was all scheduled to move from Brooklyn to Texas via American Van Lines. After countless conversations about planning, costs, arrival times, etc., we were all set. Then on the day of the move AVL never showed up. They didn't even call to explain. We had to call them and we got one lie after the next. When we realized we had to find a new moving company, we started to panic, calling every one we could find on Google. Luckily Alex from Asata was able to come out in a matter of hours to give a quote on site and arrange a move for the next day. A professional team came out, packed everything up and loaded it onto their truck as promised. A few weeks later, I got the call that our stuff had arrived in TX and I'd need to meet them at the house the next day to receive the goods. Although the team to finish the move was not directly related to Asata, they did a great job. Long story short: American Van Lines cannot be trusted but Asata gets the job done.

I recently moved from NYC to dallas TX and used Asata. The price was below many of their competitors, so they were an easy choice. My representative Debra was very communicative and helpful throughout the whole process and helped ease my mind for this daunting task. The guys who picked up our items from NYC were thorough and helpful, but when we tipped them, the foreman was ungrateful of the amount and suggested we tip $500, which was 20% of the whole cost of our move. We are both in the service industry so we understand the importance of gratuity but this was very uncomfortable, and we felt pushed into having to give more. Upon arrival in dallas (only 10 days later), the delivery guys were both very nice and appreciative of the gratuity we gave them. A few boxes were beaten up a bit, unfortunately I have not been able to unpack anything yet to see if there are any damages, if so I will edit this review. Overall, I recommend Asata.

  • Elroy Hoyabembe

I moved from NYC to Georgia, the experience was okay overall. Pricing was fine, workers were pleasant and respectful when they came(pickup and drop off). They were perhaps too efficient with the moving as they brought down items they were not supposed to including bags of garbage meant to be thrown out and clothing meant for my remaining days in NY. I was told movers would preform full breakdown and reassembly of furniture; 2 of my beds were not fully assembled (boards under mattress we left unscrewed) and they left the remaining screws taped in a container. One of the drawers for my bed was visibly broken and a dresser was damaged in the back. Finally, i recently underwent surgery and received 3 medications. I have 2/3 however my Percocet pain medication has been the only one missing since the move. Overall, a decent experience

  • Ricky Watts

This is the best thing I have ever been gifted, EVER. Alex, Dina, and Edward were soooo great to work with. They came and packed everything up in our apartment, INCLUDING hanging furniture. They were so nice and quick with everything. I will 100% use them EVERY TIME we move. They took all of the stress of moving away. I said it earlier but, this was the best! We are a newly wed couple with a 6 month old baby. We both work full time, and the weight of our move was hanging over our heads. Then, my mother said, as our wedding gift, gifted us the full package with Asata. The stress totally went away. It is priceless how much better we felt. And then the actual process was so great! I can't say enough about them. Another shout out to Alex, Dimitri, and Edward. They were the best. 100% recommended.

  • Rikard Grafstroem

Asata moving provided a seamless moving experience that was professional, quick, and competitively priced. Within minutes of requesting a quote on Yelp, Alex would reach out and provide an ALL-IN quote. This really clinched the deal for me. No other moving company would offer a flat rate including packing labor and material. Huge time saver. They arrived on time and after a quick consultation they got to work. When Alex, Edward and Dima were packing up my place I felt perfectly comfortable leaving my belongings in their hands, and my occasional check ins confirmed that. I can't recommend these guys enough. They have the years of experience and it shows. It's a smaller company than the other guys, but you will realize the impeccable service they provide once you ask them to do your next move.

  • Aaisha Khan

I moved with these guys at the end of June, and I did not have time to thank these guys. I had a team of 3 people, Alex Edward and Dima made my move much more easier and stress free. I had to move from Brooklyn to Florida. Most of the items I had they were very fragile, I did not know how to pack them securely, and Alex told me that they'll do it for me. And they did, everything was packed so secure, that there was no way for items to brake. Everything arrived the way it left my apartment. I really appreciate Asata. I will use them next time I will need moving for sure, and will tell all my friends to use them as well. Recommend Asata for everyone who needs any moving services.

  • Laurifer Abrams

We used Asata to move out of our 1-br and put everything into storage while we wait a month for our new apartment to be ready. Deb was friendly, helpful, and responsive when setting everything up, and she is genuinely concerned about our experience and our wellbeing. Our movers Alex, Eduard, and Adis were efficient, professional, and friendly. The service of having our items moved and stored by the same company is helpful during this stressful time, and based on how they were packed up and handled by the movers we know they are in good hands. We are so grateful to have found this company and highly recommend them. We will definitely use them again in the future.

  • Dan Agnello

I recently used Asata Moving and I’m pleased to say that the experience exceeded expectations. The movers were prompt in showing up, and worked efficiently in packing up my stuff. I was pleased to see that they made sure to pay attention to detail in moving some of my more fragile items. From a quote coordination standpoint, Debra was great to work with and was responsive when I had questions. Alex was friendly and courteous in checking in after the move was completed. Asata Moving exemplified professionalism all around and I would highly recommend them to anyone in the NYC/NJ area.

  • Teneille Garton Kinnard

Alex and Edward were such a huge help! This was my first time using a moving company. Alex was very understanding when it came to my lack of moving knowledge. They carried all my things up 4 floors, were very helpful when it came to packing up some of my extra items, and even provided boxes. I was worried I may have to take my bed apart by myself, but they came equipped with their own tools and had it apart in no time. They handled my boxes and antiques with care. They were very quick, great price, and very nice. I'll definitely be calling them for future moves.

  • Ken Jones

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! These guys are amazing! Moved from Queens to St Petersburg and they actually beat us here!! The professionalism and communication throughout the process was astounding. Not a scratch on any furniture, all boxes and everything delivered just as packed, faster than you can imagine etc...From start to finish an amazing crew. Started with Deb who's a sweetheart, then Alex who coordinated the whole move, then nick on delivery who ensured everything was here. Awesome crew without a doubt. Don't waste time, book these guys!

  • Angelique Chapman

After searching for a while for a decent moving company I came across these guys. From the moment I spoke to Alex I knew they were right for the job. Alex was direct and personable. He got me a quote quickly and followed up with me right away. The day of the move was just as seamless. They showed up on time and worked efficiently. I didn’t think it was possible to move my 1 bedroom home and storage area in 2 hrs. Alex, Andrew and Edward went above and beyond for me. If you are looking for movers I highly recommend them.

  • Danitza Nicolas

Asata moving helped me a lot with my stuff, they were super quick it took them 2 hours and the movers came on the assigned time. The price was the best, much better than the other companies were giving me. The service was wonderful nothing was broken or scratched, the walls weren't touched as well. Every piece of furniture was carefully wrapped and then stocked in the truck. I had a king size bed that needed to be reassembled. So everything was great, and I recommend them to everyone. The best movers in NYC!!!

  • Suraya Shivji

Best moving place for NYC. I contacted about 10 places at once and Asata got back to me first (within a few hours) on a weekend. They communicated with me via text which made things super easy and I was talking to a real person (Alex) not an automated person which made it so much better and not annoying. They answered all my questions quickly and easily. Edward and Lasha came to move our stuff and they were both fantastic, super nice, and really covid cautious with masks etc Highly recommend!

  • Rodolfo Iglesias

We hired Asata to move a 2-br from Washington Heights to Brooklyn and couldn't be happier with the results! They handled all our items quickly, efficiently and with great care. All our furniture was thoroughly protected, and they made a point to get our items moved in the best way possible, avoiding any damage. I set up a quote with Alex and got a same day estimate which was maintained through moving day - no surprise charges or fees, which was also great. Will definitely hire again!

  • Adrienne Sime

From start to finish, working with Asata Moving was so easy and stress free. They asked lots of questions and had me send photos and gave me a very reasonable quote for my move. They showed up on time with a crew of four guys and they emptied my entire one bedroom apartment in a little more than an hour. My move into my new apartment took about the same amount of time. They were efficient and professional from start to finish. I'll definitely call them again the next time I move.

  • Vy Thuy

I used Asata to move from Brooklyn to Newark. I was charged a flat rate which was so convenient because I had no idea how long everything would take and how much the tolls would add up to. The company communicated with me before, during, and after the move. The movers were very kind people and they worked efficiently. They asked me to double check, sometimes triple check, things to make sure there was anything that I needed. I would definitely hire them again!

  • Ay A

I cannot recommend Asata Moving enough! They truly made my move from Brooklyn to Jersey City as easy as it gets. They arrived early, wrapped my big furniture pieces with care and moved everything like it was their own. I’ve never had a better experience moving to be honest and everything arrived in perfect condition. Debra will take all of the stress out of the process and her professional and positive personality shines through! Thanks Asata!

  • Matt O

I used Asata Moving to move from Garwood to Jersey City. I got a quote over the phone of $825 to move a 1 bedroom apartment, and they stuck to that price. Alex and Stas were very efficient workers. They wrapped everything up and carefully loaded and unloaded. In all, the process took 5 hours, including travel time and a lunch break. We were done by 1:15, and I had the rest of the day to unpack, organize, etc. I would definitely recommend them!

  • Andrea Kassiano

Asata is such a great moving company, I only feel bad that in the hustle and bustle of moving and settling in I've put off writing this review. From first contacting them to getting a quote to the actual move in date Asata was so great and understanding! It was my ever first ever big move so I was so nervous but Alex was so understanding and everything proceeded to go smoothly. In my next move I'll be sure to use Asata!

  • Saye Joseph

Really awesome service!! It was 2 movers and within 2 hrs I was moved out of my old apt into the new one. Also, it was a real bonus that the guys were really nice and friendly! The price was really reasonable. As a grad student I didn't feel like I was breaking the bank. It's always great to use companies that treat their workers well; therefore providing the customer with top of the line service!

  • Katherine S

Fantastic! The movers were kind, efficient and made sure everything was exactly the way I wanted. Ive moved several times in NYC and I was dreading this experience. This move was perfect! Completely stress free and they were so quick and careful! I have antiques and they showed so much care. Best movers in NYC!!! The price was very reasonable and lower than other estimates I received).

  • Gretchen Begley

Asata moving was great. They gave me the lowest lowest flat rate price for a move that I could find anywhere, with no hidden costs. Alex, Dima, and Edward were fast, careful, and professional. They came with all of the necessary equipment to make sure that everything was moved without any damage. I would definitely use them again.

  • Katie Skibinski

The Asata team was prompt, friendly, and thorough. Alex did a great job communicating with me about the move in advance, responding to every question and making sure we knew what to expect. We had the Asata team pack up our belongings for us, and they didn't break or misplace a single thing. We would definitely hire Asata again!

  • Carol Caracand

When my contracted movers did not show up, Alex, Dima and Edward from Asata Movers saved the day. Not only did they show up on same day notice, they working quickly and carefully to get my belongings from NY to PA in a safe and efficient manner. I couldn't be happier and I would recommend them to anyone with pleasure.

  • Erica Rybinski

Alex Edward Dima are the best! They were so accommodating to me(and I changed my mind a lot about dates and times) they were still able to work with me! They wrapped everything and moves everything out of my place super fast! Best movers ever!!! Can't say enough would recommend a million times!

  • Katie Robertson

Asata Moving was absolutely great! Deb was very helpful. They gave me a great quote in a very timely manner. The guys showed up on time and they were super nice, efficient, and hardworking. I would definitely recommend this company and would use them again without hesitation.

Highly highly recommend Asata! Alex and Dmitri were fantastic. They got to our apartment on extremely short notice, gave us a great price, and took care of EVERYTHING like it was their own. Couldn't possibly be happier! Call them for your move!

  • Ines Espinal

I thank Asata Moving so muuch. I had to move few pieces of furniture from the 2nd floor walkup to another 2nd floor walkup. Asata gave me the best price which have been much better than the ones that were told me by few other companies.

  • eduard dzhioev

I have moved a lot of times in NYC and I can say that I am kind of experienced in moving already. So far I used a lot of moving companies to move my stuff,and all the time I had some problems. Not too long ago I moved again,hoping that

  • Caitlin Book

Alex and his team (Edward and Dima) were excellent. Professional, careful, and FAST! They were very flexible since my new apartment was still under renovation. Also the best price I was quoted by any company. Absolutely recommend!

  • Kishan Ambi

We used Asata Moving for a short distance move between NY and NJ. Alex and team were super professional and efficient. For short distance moves, their price and service is great, would recommend them to anyone.

  • Mg Del40

Alex and Edward did an amazing job moving my husband and I to park slope! They were right on time!This is so much better than the 3 hour window of arrival time that most moving companies give you.

  • Kadeem A.R.

I thought about not posting a review as I don't like to publicly mention wrongdoings. However I realized that staying silent doesn't help someone who may be in need.
