Perfect Moving review (2026)

Perfect Moving in one paragraph

Perfect Moving has been operating since 2008 (about 18 years), runs out of Brooklyn, NY, and covers regional. Current FMCSA filing shows USDOT Verify on FMCSA and MC Verify on FMCSA; BBB rating is A+. Brooklyn-based local mover with strong customer satisfaction and binding hourly quotes. Good fit for studio-to-2BR moves within NYC.

What customers actually paid this year

For a 2-bedroom interstate move, Perfect Moving quotes generally land between $600 and $2,400, with the median around $1,500. The low end of that range usually applies to off-season runs under 1,000 miles with self-packing; the high end shows up on full-service summer moves over 2,000 miles.

Local hourly pricing through Perfect Moving varies by market. In a high-cost metro, two movers + a 26-foot truck commonly bills at $160–$220/hr. In a smaller market the same crew might run $110–$150/hr. Always ask whether travel time, fuel surcharge, and stair fees are inside or outside the hourly number — this is where two "identical" quotes often diverge by 20%.

Where this carrier is genuinely good

Brooklyn local moves. The customer pattern that consistently rates Perfect Moving highly: an inventory list locked in 2+ weeks ahead, a binding-not-to-exceed quote in writing, and a destination ZIP they service directly (not via subcontractor). When all three of those line up, satisfaction scores cluster well above the industry median.

Where this carrier falls short

Limited interstate availability.

Perfect Moving vs the competition

Booking process, step by step

• Request a quote with a complete inventory list. Online forms are fine for a first pass; a video survey is what makes a binding number stick.
• Insist on binding-not-to-exceed in writing. Non-binding estimates from any carrier — including this one — almost always come in higher on move day.
• Confirm valuation coverage. Released value (the federal default) pays $0.60 per pound. Full-value protection costs more but actually replaces a damaged TV.
• Confirm pickup and delivery windows. For interstate jobs the delivery window is a range, not a date — plan accordingly.
• On move day, walk the truck and check the inventory list before signing the Bill of Lading. Note any pre-existing damage on the form.

Bottom line

Perfect Moving earns 4.5/5 in this scoring model. For the customer profile in "where it's good," it's a strong default pick. For everyone else, get one comparison quote and decide on the spot — the 15 minutes pays for itself.
