College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving — NYC Moving Company Review

What to Know About College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving

College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving offers a unique combination of moving and junk removal services that's particularly useful for anyone downsizing, clearing out a deceased relative's apartment, or combining a move with decluttering. The national franchise model provides process consistency — uniforms, branded trucks, standardized training — that independent operators can't always match. However, the franchise overhead shows up in pricing: you'll pay more per hour than a comparable independent mover. Their moving expertise is also genuinely secondary to their junk hauling core business, which means complex moves with specialty items may not get the specialized handling they require. Crew turnover is a franchise-wide issue that affects consistency. For the specific use case of moving-plus-decluttering, College Hunks fills a real gap. For a straightforward apartment move, you're paying a brand premium without getting specialized moving expertise in return. Movd's platform matches you with crews whose primary skill is moving — and the flat-fee model means no franchise markup on your hourly rate. Hiring any moving company directly means you vet the crew, negotiate the price, and pay them yourself on move day. Booking through Movd instead is a protected transaction: your price is approved up front from your full inventory, and your payment is held by Movd until after your move.
