Horrible service, they broke furniture and claimed they did not even though we have video evidence. Also prices are outrageously high and when you have a problem, they don't answer the phone. STAY AWAY from Padded Wagon!

Aidan in the office was a pleasure to work with. The team was on time and made the whole packing, moving and storage a seamless project. A very professional company that made the moving stress free. I would highly recommend this company to family and friends.

They took forever and doubled the estimate when my things arrived and wouldn't unload until I gave them a cashier's check. A couple broken pieces and a couple missing.

This company was used by my parents to help them move...they had nothing but the best things to say about them...Courteous, professional, punctual and all around an excellent company - Can't say enough good things about them - Thank you for helping my parents and I appreciate all you did in making a stressful situation that much less stressful!

I moved an alcove studio from upper west to upper east. First time paying for "real movers", not like "Flatrate" etc... worth every penny! Came to apartment to prepare quote. No online quote that gets renegotiated on move day. Rep was on time and nicely dressed and professional. Actual cost less than quote. On move day three men, nice, friendly, organized. Guys had a good system. Arrived on time and finished in estimated time. My move was touch and go because so needed board approval and Padded Wagon was very flexible. Also took care of all insurances timely. No damage on move
