Planning to move to New York City? Whether you move within the city or from another city to NYC, you can make your move faster and easier with a few simple tips. Here are some top hacks to plan a smooth move in New York City.

Choose a Good Moving Company

First, you need to book a trusted moving company that can move your possessions safely, timely, and conveniently. Here are the top 3 reasons why people moving in New York City choose us:

• Move per your schedule: Whether you wish to move the next day or the following month, we can meet your requirements without any delay.
• Move anywhere: We know all parts of New York. So, we can easily navigate the city and move you up the street or upstate as needed.
• Move hassle-free: We not only move your belongings but also pack and unpack them to minimize your efforts.

Pack Smart

Follow these tips to pack your goods smartly and in an organized way:

• Pack light goods in large boxes and heavy objects in small storages.
• Use bubble wrap and packing paper to protect valuable or fragile objects.
• Label all the boxes to quickly determine what they contain when you unload them.
• Keep a box for the first night. In it, store essentials like clothes and toiletries that need to be readily available to you.

If you book our services, we deliver reusable packing bins to your door one week prior to your move. On the day of the move, we shift the bins after wrapping your furniture. After everything is moved, call us and we will collect the empty bins.

Research Your New Neighborhood Ahead of Time

Learn in advance about the features of your new neighborhood. These include:

• Where the closest hospitals, parks, grocery stores, and restaurants are.
• Top schools in the place.
• Time taken to commute from your new home to your new job.
• Distance between your apartment and the nearest subway station.

Researching your new neighborhood and visiting it a few times in advance will help you familiarize yourself with the place before the big day.
We can move your items to any borough in NYC, including Brooklyn, Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island.

Declutter

Sort out unnecessary items you don’t need or want in your new apartment. We donate your discarded goods to our partners to make good use of them.
