Grand D2024-08-31They move fast and they take care of your belongings.
Laura Monacelli2024-08-30Emir and his crew did a great job moving a marble table upstairs for us; did the move quickly and easily, saving us lots of time and stress!
Ziggy Zacks2024-08-30The guys came on time (bright and early) and worked efficiently until the job was done. Would definitely recommend.
Alisyn Amant2024-08-28Boyan and Milo were great. Any questions I had were quickly answered both beforehand and during. The day of, the move went smoothly, and the price was definitely worth it. They even tried to help me capture a hurt pigeon to take to a rescue, which genuinely made my day! Can't recommend Magical Moving enough and I would definitely use their services again. (P.S. If you ever read this, Boyan and Milo, I was able to get the pigeon help after you left!)
Tom Shebell2024-08-28Ok this company rocks! They are so professional and meticulous. It really was like magic. They moved a GIGANTIC Restoration Hardware sleeper couch for me (easily the heaviest couch I’ve ever seen and another company failed to move it). They wrapped it up like a present in moving blankets and plastic. Communication was unlike any company I’ve ever seen. Price point, excellent. Thanks!
Zachary Rich2024-08-26Excellent service from start to finish !
Sara J2024-08-25Everyone at Magical Moving was awesome! From the beginning of requesting the quote, to followups before the moving date, they showed stellar care and attention to detail. On the day of move, the team showed up on time and was incredibly polite and respectful. They handled our move quickly and efficiently, handling all of the boxes with care and making everything super easy for us. What really impressed me was how they went out of their way to help another moving company, Piece of Cake, that was having trouble in the loading dock and couldn't even finish their move. Boyan and his crew didn’t have to help, but they did it anyway—it just shows how kind and professional they are. If you’re looking for movers who are not only great at what they do but also genuinely helpful and friendly, Magical Moving is the one to call. Can’t recommend them enough!
Calla Phillips2024-08-23The entire Magical team was amazing!! They made our move so stress free and were extremely professional. We ended up having more furniture than expected and they were so understanding and accomodating - highly recommend!
Tracy Hall2024-08-21Punctual, communication is one of there strong points and I look forward to our next adventure coming up within the next month.
Neo Nyc2024-08-16This is a real review. I hired Magical last weekend on Thumbtack and all of their reviews said very professional service and incredible customer service. I thought it was an exageration but it was not! I have NEVER had better communication, follow up, and genuine interest in my satisfaction from any other business. I have a small business and I learned a lot from their customer service. I found their fees reasonable and I didn't even get another quote (which is not like me). Highly recommend.

The Big Question: Should I Tip My Movers?
While it’s not mandatory, we consider that tipping the movers is a nice gesture, especially when the move is well done. However, whether or not to tip movers can depend on several factors, and you should consider them from every angle.
Tipping movers in New York City is a very kind and appreciated gesture. It’s not just a way to financially support someone, it’s simply a way to show how much you appreciate someone’s effort and hard work.
The #1 factor is financial capability.
If you’re not in a position to give tips, don’t feel bad about it – it’s a normal thing. You may not want the additional expense, even though you’ve already utilized their services.
The #2 factor is the quality of service.
Surely, you’ll be more inclined to tip people who made an effort during your move rather than those who complained or, worse, broke your favorite set of glasses, right? The quality of service can even influence the amount you decide to tip the movers.
The #3 factor is the cost of the move.
Some moving companies may include tips in the service price. Therefore, inquire beforehand before the movers complete the move so you’re aware.

How Much Should I Tip My Movers?
The usual tip amount typically depends on the quality of service and your satisfaction with the received moving services. Additionally, this amount may be influenced by the overall moving costs, so keep in mind to stay within your financial means, as mentioned earlier.
Let’s say you had movers who worked for 3 hours. Typically, such tips are given at a rate of $15 to $20 per hour per mover. This means that if you had 3 movers working for 3 hours, the tip would range from $135 to $180.
However, keep in mind that every tip should also be based on the quality of service. If you had movers who efficiently and safely completed your move, consider giving them a slightly larger bonus than the standard rate.
To better understand when to give a larger or smaller tip, it’s best to rely on your own satisfaction and simple reasoning.
For example, if the movers were professional, efficient, fast, and safe, or even courteous and performed some challenging tasks for you, and you had good communication with them, it’s a nice gesture to give them a larger tip.
On the other hand, if the movers were careless, unprofessional, or impolite, then you certainly don’t want to reward them with a larger bonus. Alternatively, you may even consider reducing the tip from the standard amount.
When and How to Tip My Movers?
To tip movers, there are several ways you can do it.
The simplest, of course, is cash. Movers will gladly accept cash as it is the fastest and easiest method of payment. They can distribute the money on the spot, making it the most convenient option.
However, if you’re unable to tip movers in cash, you can do it with a credit card, although not every moving company may accept card tips. In such a case, it’s best to have some cash on hand.
And the last question that surely interests you – when should you tip movers? The best time to tip movers is at the end of the move. This way, you’ll have a comprehensive overview of the entire relocation, and all impressions will be fresh in your mind, allowing you to decide on the tip amount.
However, in the case of long-distance moves, you may have two teams handling your move. It’s advisable to contact the moving company before the move to confirm whether you’ll have one or two teams. Based on this information, you can then distribute tips accordingly.
One team will handle the packing, and the other will likely handle the actual move. It’s fair to tip the first team at the beginning and the second team at the end of the move.
