Read More On Citysearch lewfer 5/15/2010 - Want for Every Move!The movers literally just left not even an hour ago. I couldn't wait to write a reivew. I was so AMAZED by their work! I had actually booked moves twice before with old city movers and had to cancel. When I called this time I told them who I was and despite our track record, they (John) were as POLITE as could be, not to mention complete in the details of the move. Due to traffic, the two mo...

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 2/5/2010 - Fabulous!!!!From my initial phone call when I spoke with John, who was super-friendly & professional, I felt comfortable with my decision to use them. The 2 guys showed up on time (even called to come a little earlier which I was all for) & went straight to work. It took a little longer than the initial quote but I was also moving out of a high-rise in center city & the alley-way they had to use isn't the ...

Read More On Citysearch Overall poor experience 12/23/2009 - Surprised the reviews were true.I never really write reviews online, but felt compelled to do so this time around. I have used movers before and these guys were probably the best I've used. From my initial conversation with the owner, John to the day of my move- these guys were professionals! They were fast, efficient, friendly and very careful with our personal belongings and furniture. We had about 90 boxes (more than what ...
Read More On Citysearch MKGFoodie 12/21/2009 - Fast and friendly - they won best in Philly for a reason!Old City movers far exceeded my expectation from my first my first call to schedule the move to the moment that they left my house.
The day of the move, they showed up right on time and wasted not one minute - they packed the truck and headed out. I let them know that I would be right behind them...well, in the meantime, my cat escaped so I was frantically trying to get her back in her carr...
Read More On Citysearch mnp19107 11/19/2009 - Great moving experience - three times nowBetween my fiance's moves and my own, we've had three good experiences with Old City. Our last move with a different company was a complete nightmare, and we let them go and hired Old City to finish the job, and we'll use them for sure for our next move. These guys know what they're doing. They're very careful with the furniture and carefully reassemble anything they have to take apart. They'...
Read More On Citysearch rdt55 10/29/2009 - Old City MoversThis was the best moving experience I have ever had. The guys at Old City Movers arrived on time, worked tirelessly, carefully and pleasantly, finished one hour earlier than expected and even unpacked my new sofa although they had no obligation to do so. Nothing was broken or missing. Everything was put in the right place.
I recommend Old City without reservation. Moving is never fun, but thes...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 7/15/2009 - Excellent moversI've used these movers twice already and they always come on point with their price quote or below what they estimated. their price includes everything - gas, truck, dollies, tarps, etc. in a flat hourly rate they give you pending how much stuff you own. they're so quick and efficient, but still really careful with your belongings in taking the time to wrap items with tarps, etc as well as arrang...
Read More On Citysearch sunshine18 6/24/2009 - Fast, Careful, and FriendlyOld City Movers moved my husband and I from Philadelphia to New York last week. They showed up on time, loaded and unloaded quickly and carefully, and were very friendly. I would absolutely use them again!
Read More On Citysearch kholliday23 5/27/2009 - I'm not one to write reviews, but I really want to thank these guys...On the morning of my move we discovered that my freight elevator was broken. The movers quickly and efficiently figured out another solution. They didn't even charge for the 20 plus minutes of lost time - they actually insisted on only starting the clock when they were physically moving my possessions. The movers were fast, extremely careful, and very polite. Old city knows every building in ...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 5/27/2009 - Excellent moving experienceIt was an overall great moving experience. They showed up 15 minutes early. They had everything transported from my apt to the storage facility within 2 hours. They were very friendly and personable. They operated quickly and efficiently. They made the whole moving experience very easy!
Read More On Citysearch rpfillmore 4/13/2009 - Professional and Quick!I chose Old City Movers because they were voted Best in Philly and I soon discovered why. The movers arrived on time. They got right to work, breaking down my furniture and loading it on the truck. In about two hours they had hauled all my furniture, including a large wardrobe to my new 3rd floor walk-up without so much as a ding or a scratch to anything. In addition, I was moving within the ...
Read More On Citysearch ziggycat1 1/23/2009 - Best move I've ever hadRegistered on Citysearch just to praise these guys. Seriously the best movers I've ever worked with... and this is coming from someone who has moved almost once a year for the past 10 years. They cleared out our apartment in 90 minutes... no small feat considering the amount of junk we have. We were in our new house 2 hours later... the truck completely unloaded, including a monster armoire that ...
Read More On Citysearch jedilips13 10/13/2008 - Terrible experience and customer service from Bill who hates the Eagles.So I called Bill, the main supervisor, and explained that I wanted to move from my apartment to another one a block a way. We scheduled a time (I made a joke that there was an Eagles game on and I would prefer a better time) which he said was suspicious. After discussing pricing, he said that his "mental alarm bell was going off" and he was worried I wouldn't be there for the scheduled move and...
Read More On Citysearch NSrockefeller 10/2/2008 - Old City MoversI searched the web for a moving company to move my family from one area of the city to another. I really liked the reviews for Old City movers. When I called to set up the appointment, the gentlemen was friendly, answered all my questions and when I hung up the phone I felt a sense of relief knowing that nothing would be broken or stolen. On the day of the move they arrived promptly at 8:00 a.m. ...
Read More On Citysearch tempbrood 9/26/2008 - Best Possible Moving ExperienceI hired Old City Movers to get me out of my apartment after me and my partner broke up. They were efficient and professional and took the utmost care to make sure that none of my stuff was damaged. They took apart all of my Ikea furniture and put it right back together like it never happened - thats a feat unto itself. It took them less than two hours to get me out of my old place and into my ...
Read More On Citysearch dublyou 9/5/2008 - Great customer serviceI've never used a mover before and quite frankly dreaded the thought. Old City Movers was great though. They were always friendly on the phone while setting up the appointment. They were sure to call and confirm. They were friendly during the move out and move in. They had to store my stuff overnight and there was no problem with that. When moving in, they even helped to rearrange the furni...
Read More On Citysearch Lucy2129 8/25/2008 - Old City Movers = TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE -
Before moving I felt absolutely great, after moving I felt like killing myself. Terrible moving experience. I've moved 3 or 4 times and used different movers each time and never had a problem.
Besides from having my brand new leather couch destroyed by 2 guys which looked like they had no experience what so ever (both were constantly asking the one guy what to do) the attitude that old cit...

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 8/19/2008 - Hands-down best movers...Old City moved me from the suburbs to a storage facility and then a month later into my new condo. Their team is courteous, quick and efficient. Everything was moved with great care and they listened to any concerns I had throughout the process. I would recommend their services to anyone who needs help moving, no matter how big or small. They took the stress out of moving!
Read More On Citysearch phlyfumblr 7/28/2008 - Best Movers in Center City!I have used other Center City moving companies in the past and was always disappointed. The movers were late, slow and/or reckless with my things. A friend recommended Old City movers to me for a recent move and I am so glad she did. They were great! They were pleasant to deal with on the phone, showed up on time and moved everything from my old place and into my new place in 2 hours!? They w...

So polite and professional, and very careful with all of our furniture. They got the job done in 3 hours...incredible! I absolutely recommend them and will certainly hire them again when I move.
Read More On Citysearch napakirsten 7/23/2008 - Honest, fast, and professional movers!My husband and I moved a few months ago and Old City Movers had been recommended to us by a friend. Affordability was our top priority and this company definitely fit the bill. When the day of the move came we were very impressed by how professional the movers were, much more professional than what we had dealt with in using more nationally recognized movers in the past (who were also much more...

These guys were AWESOME! They picked up our stuff at each place and a 6 hour job turned into a 13 hour job and they were just as cool, and helpful in the last hour as they were during the first hour.
I will definitely use them again. Even if I just need to move...

We have several pieces of expensive/oversized furniture and art, and they knew exactly what they were working with and treated it (and everything else) with extreme care. They were on time, hard working, efficient and friendly. With moving being such a stressful activity, it was a HUGE benefit to have mover...
Read More On Citysearch johnny45 6/3/2008 - Amazing!This is the second time Old City has moved us and it definitely will not be the last. I can't believe they managed to move an insanely enormous bookcase into our new apartment and got everything moved by 5 PM (saving us a $500 fine) for a great price. Definiitely cannot be beat. They are courteous and extremely knowledgeable about moving in this city. Awesome!
Read More On Citysearch ee2485 5/20/2008 - Old City MovingI read the previous reviews which were spectacular regarding this company. They moved me on Monday and to say I was pleased would be an understatement. They surprised me when they wrapped all upholstered furniture as well as wood legs in cellophane for protection. The men all behaved in a professional and polite manner and took good care of each and every item they moved. It was a delight to fina...

Second was moving into an apartment building located on Walnut Street at one of the most congested areas of the street - a few blocks east of Rittenhouse Square.
When I originally called the company, I told them I was moving into a building with no loading dock, no parking, and strict rules for...

For both moves they worked efficiently and gave me great value for my money. The two different crews that I had for my moves were friendly and responsive and were able to move my heaviest furniture through narrow staircases without damaging the furniture or the walls.
I would highly recommend their services for anyone that needs ...

I'll only use Old City Movers from now on, and I've used most of the local companies to help with my many moves in Philly. I only wish that I had known about these guys sooner. You will definitely be happy using them. Oh yeah, great prices too.

They showed up on time, told us exactly how much it would cost per hour, then proceeded to immediately start carting stuff out. Overall, just a good moving experience. For once.

Mark and John, the owners, assured us all would be smooth sailing, and drove up from Center City with 2 trucks and 6 guys to move us on a near-100-degree day. They were the nicest guys, totally professional, fast, efficient, competent. They got all our stuff...

They were nice, fast, and extremely professional. I told them I wouldn't pay for more than 2 hours and they got the job done with time to spare. I would recommend OCM to anyone.
