Tom`s Van Man Service

I was in the market for a new apartment basically, my old one had an infestation.  I had gotten Tom's information from a listserv in the Bronx. I was AMAZED at how quickly I received a response and quite honestly how he was able to manage everything with such awkward spacing in my new apartment. At our first location there was more stuff than originally discussed (last minute bargains...), and Tom (and partner) were able to make it all fit.  Assemble and disassemble was a breeze for them.  Even with roadblocks...  Which, when you are on a time constraint, there are always roadblocks, but they were able to get it all done without much of a delay. The second, third, fourth time were all great experiences as well.  Tom is ALWAYS on time, provides excellent customer service, great conversation, etc. I am actually in the market for some additional apartment updating again and will be coordinating with him for this.  I have also referred him to other friends or members of several listservs when they have requested moving contacts.  Should you contact Tom?  Absolutely!

Tommy helped me move from Rego Park to Astoria in the beginning of January. He's great for the amount of stuff I had to move-- which was not a lot. No furniture just some boxes of clothing to heavy to carry upstairs on my own. He came recommended from another awesome moving company that works mainly with production companies.

Beware making Tom mad. He's not a very nice guy and sends racist emails. His price quotes are very high--you can do better.

I've picked up and sold a number of things on Craiglist over the past two years and Tom has always been a tremendous help. He's punctual, friendly and his rates are the best in the business. I've used a number of other Man with a Van services and none compare, which is why he's always the first guy I call / recommend to friends. I don't post on here often, but felt compelled to write a review for Tom because of the negative comment displayed below. I can't imagine him sending racist emails or treating a customer with disrespect. If anything, he's overly considerate and will probably chat you up over the course of the ride. Don't hesitate to use him for your next move!

I bought 2 leather couches and started calling 'man with a van' services from Craigslist about 4 hours before I was supposed to pick them up. Got a pretty wide range of prices, but Tom was one of the more reasonable quotes, got right back to me and was the nicest sounding on the phone. He met my boyfriend and I at the address right on time with a large empty cargo van. He had moving mats to protect the couches and gave us both a lift back. When we got to my apartment, my boyfriend and Tom squeezed the couches through my narrow front door. He knew exactly what he was doing and told my boyfriend how to maneuver the couches to get them through without scuffing or ripping the leather. Tom was professional through and through. He took great care of our purchase and made sure there were no damages (unlike some movers I've used in the past!). He is an honest man and I had such a great experience that I wanted to share it with the Yelp world in hopes others will hire him too. His email is tomsvanman@aol.com (tried putting it in the web site box but it wouldn't let me) and he responds to text messages quickly too.
