Moving in New York takes more than a truck and a few boxes. Since 2002, Movers Not Shakers has helped New Yorkers relocate across Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, The Bronx, Staten Island, and beyond. Our crews understand NYC moving challenges, from walk-ups and elevator reservations to building requirements and tight loading windows.
With more than 20,000 completed moves, reusable moving bins, and straightforward estimates, we make it easier to plan your move without creating unnecessary waste.
✔ Licensed & Insured
✔ Serving All Five Boroughs
✔ Reusable Moving Bins Available
✔ Same-Day & Scheduled Moves
Every New York move has its own logistics. A fifth-floor walk-up in Brooklyn requires a different plan than a Manhattan high-rise, a Queens townhouse, or an office relocation in the Bronx. We account for property access, building rules, belongings, distance, and scheduling before moving day.
That local experience matters. We are familiar with certificates of insurance (COIs), elevator reservations, narrow staircases, loading restrictions, and the timing challenges common throughout NYC. We combine that knowledge with careful handling and environmentally conscious practices.
