What to Know About Solidarity Movers
Solidarity Movers stands apart in NYC's moving industry as a worker-owned cooperative, which means every crew member has a direct stake in your satisfaction. This model produces noticeably more careful, communicative service — crews explain their process, protect your belongings thoughtfully, and don't rush. Their eco-friendly practices, including reusable packing materials and efficient routing, appeal to Brooklyn's environmentally conscious residents. The trade-off is pricing: fair wages and sustainable practices cost more than the cheapest hourly movers, and their limited fleet means weekend slots book up weeks in advance. They're strictly a local operation — no long-distance or storage services. For NYC renters who value ethical business practices and are willing to pay a premium for a values-aligned mover, Solidarity is exceptional. However, their limited capacity means many customers can't book them when needed. Movd's platform solves the availability problem by matching you with the closest available DOT-licensed crew in real time — and the flat-fee model gives you the same pricing transparency that Solidarity's cooperative ethos promises. 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.

How Movd Protects Your Move
With Solidarity Movers — or any moving company you hire directly — you vet the crew, you negotiate the price, and you pay them yourself. With Movd, the transaction itself is protected:
You pay Movd — not a crew on your doorstep
Book with a $50 deposit. Your card is pre-authorized before the move, the balance is charged only after your move is complete, and Movd releases your mover's payout after the job is done. No cash handoffs, no doorstep renegotiation.
A price you approve before anyone lifts a box
Your quote is computed from your full inventory and building access up front, and every package includes a built-in volume buffer so small misses don't change your price — backed by the $2,500 Move Guarantee.
No negotiation, no sales pressure
Input-based and approval-based: enter your move, review the computed price, book it. No phone haggling, no bait-and-switch, no on-site renegotiation.
A vetted, accountable crew
Every Movd fleet partner is pre-vetted, DOT-licensed, and insured, and Movd handles the Certificate of Insurance paperwork with your building — someone stands behind the move besides the crew itself.
