Delancey Street Moving & Trucking

They are a wonderful service. They did a great job. I had a lot to move, I had been in the same place for 40 years. They were very professional. It was a difficult move for me. There was a lot of stuff to move to the third floor. They were very good. Yes, I would use them again.

Very well. The lead driver/mover was very professional, carefully explained the paperwork, options, and loading procedure -- and double-checked our wishes and instructions. All four of the movers were polite, helpful, friendly, and worked very hard on a very hot day (!)

5 man crew showed up on time. Gave me a preliminary estimate & got working. 4 hours later I was moved and they came in well under the estimate.

Excellent in all respects, will use them again. Look no further. We moved one month ago from the city to the peninsula. I took a bet on Delancey Movers since we are often at Delancey Cafe. The quoted cost was comparable to others movers, but I felt that working with Delancey has a social benefit also. Well, these guys were amazing, so I am actually writing a review which is something I rarely do. The four men Zack, Jonathan, Sean, Derek were all cheerful and would not let me touch a thing. In fact, they ultimately charged significantly under the budget which they quoted upfront! I am not worried about my next move mainly because of Delancey Movers. Keep it up, guys!

The team was excellent!  Very prompt, about 10 minutes early.  Despite my buying a parking permit for the move, a car just didn't pay attention and was parked smack in the middle of the reserved zone which the truck was supposed to park in.  The Delancey guys really didn't want me to have to tow someone, so looked for other options.  The team leader was able to negotiate with a neighbor to allow the truck to block one driveway so we could start. 
I had five movers including the team lead. These guys were fantastic.  Literally running up the stairs as they came back and forth to get our furniture and boxes. One guy stayed in the truck to play "truck tetris" as I call it, and managed to cram our crazy amount of belongings into the truck.  Every one of them was very personable, professional, and worked their socks off.  Excellent crew.
I highly recommend their services and would definitely hire Delancey Street again!

The bookcase required serious effort to move and the guys were great and moved everything as needed without any damage.  The price included a minimum charge of two hours, but for the effort that was required, we didn't mind paying for a little extra time to do such a small move.

This was by far our least stressful and most efficient move, and we move a lot! The crew was extremely polite and professional. They took great care to make the process run smoothly and keep our belongings safe. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

There were three great guys worked very hard all day. Took a small lunch break . Very satisfied.

They were very good. They are incredibly hardworking, reasonably priced, and have tremendous integrity.

We couldn't have asked for a better move.  The guys from Delancy Street ended up arriving early and were very thorough in explaining each possible billable item (supplies, time, drive-time, etc.).   They were attentive to our requests for special handling of some items and they carefully reviewed what was going to be going and what was staying (there were some shared spaces in the duplex we lived in).  
We had a lot of stuff to move and they handled it all with speed and care.  The team worked really well together and worked well with us to get it all done with no damage and no losses.  In the end they finished in less time than was estimated and we're very happy with their work.
Super job guys and thanks a bunch!

.These guys were phenomenal, they did an incredible job and while it was by no means an easy move, they performed it perfectly. We hired them to move a 48 inch Thermador stainless steel oven, a 36 inch Thermador stainless steel fridge and a Thermador dishwasher from the appliance store to our second story home in San Francisco. The difficult part was the angle and width of a 1907 San Francisco Victorian stairway, not exactly built to the same standards as today. 
They showed up, looked around, decided what needed to be done and proceeded to knock it out. When they had finally gotten all three pieces up, they took the time to make some recommendations for our new appliances and pointed out some aspects we were unaware of.
Love these guys and will use them in a month or two when we're finally able to move into that same SF Victorian.

Move went great!  These guys worked their tails off.  A box of dishes was accidentally dropped - mover was truly sorry.  A long day, yet we are very satisfied and will definitely recommend Delancey Street Movers!!

They didn't scratch my furniture

They started out great at 8am and by the time they were finished loading up the truck ready to go to the new address, they were pretty much done; they were very tired and hot. When they unloaded at our new address (at around 2pm) there was a lot of banging around of our furniture, several dents; we ended up with things poorly placed and the beds were badly put together (bolts and/or screw were not put in correctly and/or not tightened properly). The men, at the end, were not being directed by anyone; the leader lost sight of the goal and they fell apart! They just wanted to be done with it! Hey, we get it, moving furniture is very hard work, but if that is what you are going to charge people for then you have to do it right; from beginning to the very end!!! It's taken me a while to get to writing this review because we really wanted this company to be great. We eat at their restaurant at Brannan at Embarcadero and we love the food, the service and especially knowing that the guys are doing well and back on their feet. But the moving company is not up to par. And on Christmas we buy our trees from their lot Van Ness and Greenwich.
We where highly disappointed with the moving part of the Delancey Organization.

I had Delancey street moving company pack all of my belongings and move
them across the city of San Francisco about 10 to 15 minute drive. They
were overall terrific, however they completely under estimated the
amount of time it would take to pack and to lose everything. They
initially thought they could do all the packing and moving in one day,
but I assure them that it would take much longer than Ness. In the end
it took them one full day to pack, 10 to 12 hours, the second full day
more than 12 hours to move all of my belongings. So their estimate of the time that it would take was WAY OFF.
They were very careful
about packaging and moving items. All of the workers were very polite.
One negative was that they cannot have any cell phones on them so they
had to Use my phone to contact their supervisors for any issues. I
believe they have this policy where they do not have their own cell
phones so they can focus on their work. This is only a minor
inconvenience however. On the day of the estimate, they came an hour
early but we're not able to call me as they did not have a cell phone,
so they have to sit and wait an hour until I arrive. This was more of a
problem for them than for me.
In addition they left some charges out from their estimate by mistake,
undercharging me by several hundred dollars. When the move was
finished they realized their error and they asked if I would pay the
difference, but I informed them that I had chosen them in part because
they were several hundred dollars less expensive than other movers. They
agreed that it was their fault not mine and I did not have to pay the
difference. Some other moving companies might have bickered about this
but as they realized it was there error. they were very good about
honoring their estimate.
Regarding the quality of their move they were
very careful about moving items, so there was only minimal damage to My
new home which has very delicate floors. The damage was very minor with
some Mexican scratches, and less than I would've expected probably
would've gotten for most other moving companies. I've had other movers
for riding furniture and they did much more damage just an hour or 2
than delancey St. did in two days of moving. I would definitely use them again.
again.

My experience with them was excellent. They were very helpful and very nice. Their friendliness and customer service was excellent.

It is so refreshing to have service done by people who like their jobs.  These guys are all from hard backgrounds of one sort or another, and they're all in a program to turn those lives around.  On our crew every one of them was clearly not only happy to be there, but grateful for the chance.
And... they know how to move things.  They built their own piano moving cradle that made for a far better mover than the supposedly-professional piano movers we had before.
A++
They want the chance to work for you.
They have earned the chance to work for you.

Delancy Street was a delight and a dream - as well as being educational!  (Thomas told me a lot about the Delancy Street Foundation when he noticed I was interested.  It's a very deserving organization, in my opinion!)
Partly my impression of Delancy overall is in comparison with our original move to San Jose which had had no proper evaluation, took six days, added at least 2 men every day, went over the projected cost astronomically, packed items carelessly and without regard to other items in the same box, damaged furniture and floors, lost casters, screws and other vital furniture "bits", AND cost twice the Delancy won't-go-over price.  That first group went under 3 different names so I can't even produce an evaluation for them... but the memory of all that had me approaching any move with trepidation.
Even without such a negative experience for comparison, the Delancy guys were courteous, efficient, professional, completely on-schedule and value-added, and went above-and-beyond in proving their integrity and dependability.  Anything that they thought might be their fault or was pre-damaged, they brought to our attention immediately.  These are guys determined to do their job right!
Nearing the end of the move, I managed to fall and badly sprain my ankle.  When I asked, they knew right where they'd packed my crutches and so I was up and about on crutches in a matter of minutes.
I can't imagine any group I could recommend more highly for anything than the Delancy Street Movers.

These guys are quite simply the best movers in the bay area.  Professional.  They treat everything like it was their grandmother's and they can deal with tricky to move items.  In this case a ~400lb table top that had to be hoisted out of a 3rd story apartment.
You will not go wrong using these guys.
