What to Know About Intense Movers
Intense Movers lives up to their name with crews that bring serious muscle and energy to every job. They're particularly well-suited for moves involving heavy furniture — sectional sofas, marble tables, commercial equipment — where physical strength matters as much as finesse. Their pricing is competitive for mid-size moves, and they maintain reliable scheduling that you can plan around. Where they fall short is with delicate or high-value items that require gentle touch over brute strength. Communication between their front office and field crews occasionally breaks down, leading to confusion about scope or timing. Their commercial moving is competent but lacks the sophistication of specialist office movers. Weekend surcharges can significantly increase costs. For moves where heavy lifting is the primary challenge, Intense delivers value. For a more balanced approach that handles both heavy items and delicate pieces with equal care, Movd's flat-fee platform matches you with crews whose specific skills align with your inventory — no compromises required. When booking through Movd, you'll see Intense Movers 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 Intense Movers 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."

"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."
