I had to move a studio worth of apartment from the Upper East Side to the Theater
district. I called about 6 places, Divine came in the cheapest at $430, which was about
$30 cheaper than 2nd place. I believe Divine operates only in metro NYC, which is why
they get to be a little cheaper.
Of course, I picked a heavy traffic time of day, and also a day where 1 one of 3 elevators
of my building was down, so they couldn't "lock" it for the moving team, and I was
moving to a 5th floor walk up... but despite all the inconveniences, I was impressed with
the speed that they moved at, and they kept their cool about it the whole time.
A few bonus points I'd like to point out.
Bonus #1: Some of the other companies called me every other day after I asked for a
price quote. Divine didn't. Thank you for not being annoying.
Bonus #2: Divine charges by the hour, and we went 10 or 15 minutes into the next 'hour',
but the foreman generously said not to worry about spilling over, and stuck to the 3-hour
price mark that it was originally quoted at. Pure win.
Bonus #3: When packing my furniture, they wrapped it all in soft blankets. (Their
blankets probably cost more than my $20 night stand from ikea, but whatever.) They
also disassembled and reassembled my bed frame with ease. I asked about how they
knew how my bed worked, and they said they've seen pretty much every bed frame out
there. Kudos to being good at your job.
Bonus #4: They gave me a ride to my new apartment, while some of the guys rode in
the back of the truck with my furniture, and we made some chit chat along the way.
They're really nice and honest guys all around.
Highly recommended! If these things don't warrant 5-stars, I don't know what does.
Thank you Divine for a great moving experience.
Side note: Book an off-peak day if you can, it'll save you around $50 (peak days are +/-
7 days or so of the top of each month, and off peak days are the others.)

Divine Moving and Storage Review:
Just a note to say that we were very impressed with the service we received from your team yesterday morning: they arrived exactly on time, and got everything done and into the new flat within 3 hours, with a minimum of fuss. They were very professional and gracious. The second half of the move was a 6 floor walk up and they never complained. I have had several friends that have used Divine and recommended your company highly, and after my experience I can understand why. Thanks for your help throughout the process.
