What to Know About Excellent Moving
Excellent Moving provides standard apartment moving services at competitive rates across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. Despite the aspirational name, the service quality is solidly average — competent and reliable for straightforward moves, but not the standout experience the branding implies. Their strength is availability: they consistently have slots open for short-notice bookings when other movers are full, which makes them a useful last resort during peak season. Crews are generally courteous and work at a steady pace. The concerns center on consistency — crew experience varies, packing protection is basic, and post-move damage claims can be difficult to resolve. For an urgent, simple move where availability matters more than premium service, Excellent fills the gap. For customers who want to plan ahead and ensure quality, Movd's platform pre-matches you with the best available crew for your specific move type, locks in flat-fee pricing, and provides accountability through its rating and review system — consistently excellent, not just occasionally. When booking through Movd, you'll see Excellent Moving alongside 15+ other DOT-licensed movers. Compare prices, availability, and choose the best option for your specific move.

Why NYC Movers Choose Flat-Fee Packages Over Hourly Rates
These customers researched traditional movers like Excellent Moving but chose Movd's package system instead
"Was researching this company but Movd's flat-fee pricing caught my attention. Chose the Preferred package and got a crew 15 minutes away. No hidden charges, final price matched the quote exactly. Saved me $380 compared to the hourly rate I was quoted before."
Sarah M.
Upper West Side • 2BR apartment
"Real-time crew matching found me a team 10 blocks away. Booked in 5 minutes, moved 2 days later. The flat-fee model eliminated all the anxiety about hourly charges adding up. Preferred package included packing credit which covered all my boxes."
Emily T.
Astoria, Queens • 1BR apartment
"The 3-package system is genius. I went with Economy for my studio and the 20 cu ft grace meant zero surprise charges. Crew was professional, move took 3 hours, paid exactly what the app said. No 'extra stairs' fees or other BS."
