Moving
We
provide strong, reliable moving teams at a fair rate. Large
moving companies just can't match our personalized customer
service.
We can provide 2, 3 and 4-mover teams with a truck and
equipment for a high-quality full-service move.
Or for help with truck loading and unloading, in-building and
in-apartment moves, we can provide experienced movers without a
truck at affordable rates.
Our movers are skilled with truck loading, and can secure your
cargo safely, even for long distance trips. Our experienced
teams can take the doubt out of doing this yourself by providing
a strong labor chain on stairs and in other difficult
situations.
You won't be lost in the shuffle, or left stranded on the big
day. Our salespeople will answer all your questions, provide as
accurate a quote as possible and let you know all possible
charges up front. We can offer advice, and suggest solutions to
fit almost any budget. We remain responsive and in touch through
all aspects of your relocation.
Join the relaxed ranks of New Yorkers who have experienced the
Stress Less move.
NYC Moving Tips
Moving can seem stressful, but the more prepared you are, the
easier the transition will be. Here are some simple things you
can do to prepare. (We'll take care of the heavy lifting!)
3-4 Weeks Before the Move:
• Maximize your chances of
security deposit retrieval: Make or plan to make any little
repairs around the apartment you are vacating (patch holes from
hanging pictures, etc.). The general rule with management
companies/landlords and your security deposit is "give them an
inch, they will take a mile. And then they will keep your
security deposit."
2-3 Weeks Before the Move:
• Get quotes from moving companies
and choose one that fits your needs and budget and that you feel
comfortable working with. (May we suggest Stress Less?) Make
sure all the charges have been explained clearly.
• Check with all buildings
involved with your move to see if any of them require a
certificate of General Liability insurance from the moving
company. If so, contact your moving company and let them know
whom to contact at the building management company.
1-2 Weeks Before the Move:
• Pack as much as you can,
comfortably, focusing on items that you don't necessarily use
every day. Also take this opportunity to evaluate your stuff and
decide if you really want to take it all with you. Moving is a
great time to streamline!
• Remember to use the smallest
boxes available for heavy items like books and record albums
(for you analog folks).
Days Before the Move:
• Remove and pack the clothing
from dresser drawers. Not only is it safer for the movers, the
building and everyone involved, it will also protect the
structural integrity of your furniture. There's no need to
remove the drawers or tape them shut.
• Make plans for transporting your
personal items - pack a suitcase with a few changes of clothes,
toiletries, work/school materials and stuff you will need right
away.
• Eat, give away or package up
your food.
• We will be fully prepared to
disassemble and reassemble your bed frame, or any other
furniture that requires it during the move, but you can do so
ahead of time to save time during the move.
• Finish packing and seal your
boxes. If possible, label them with the room they should go in
the new place. You can stack them near the door to save even
more time during the move.
• Figure out how you're going to
get between locations the day of the move.
The Day of the Move:
• Relax! You are all set.
Especially if you chose Stress Less Moving as your moving
company.
