Small Move Solutions
Big or small, Movers, Not Shakers! is here to make your relocation a breeze!
Moving is a process that a lot of people dread. Even if aren’t relocating a lot of items to the new address, the process of doing so can become extremely complicated. There’s always the chance of something going wrong, leading to damage to your most precious belongings. At Movers, Not Shakers!, we know that your upcoming relocation doesn’t have to be complicated, no matter the number of items you are relocating. With our team of small movers NYC residents trust, you won’t have to worry or stress about preparing, packing, and transporting your items. Your only job is to give us a call – we’ll take it from there.
What Is a Small Move?
We understand that small can mean different things from person to person. You might think of a small move as one involving a studio or one-room apartment, one where you’re not moving very far, or a move in which you don’t have any large items of furniture to transport.
For Movers, Not Shakers!, we define a small move as one that doesn’t take us an entire day—something we can do in conjunction with another move. A local move within a neighborhood could be a small move, whereas a move from Brooklyn to South Jersey would take an entire day, even if you’re only shipping one dresser.
A small move is less about the number of moving boxes and more about the amount of time it takes. The good news is that a small move that might take you a whole day on your own will only take a few hours with Movers, Not Shakers!. We’d love to make your small move even smaller by helping you save time and money in the process.
When do you need to work with a team of small movers NYC loves?
People oftentimes make the mistake of thinking that their relocation is going to be simple and stress-free just because the moving process itself can be labeled as simple. And it’s not until you are dealing with countless moving boxes and oddly shaped items that you realize that every move requires a lot of planning, organization, and execution. If you don’t feel fully capable of investing your time and energy into the process, you can feel free to contact our commercial or residential movers NYC recommends.
However, while our help is recommendable no matter the circumstances, there are some situations where you will want to ensure you have a moving team. Those circumstances include:
- Moving on short notice and without any help from friends or family members.
- Relocating a lot of items that are heavy, robust, or otherwise precious.
- Encountering the moving process for the first time ever.
- Facing special difficulties, like narrow hallways and the presence of many stairs.
Considering the fact that you are dealing with a small move, there’s a chance that you could have an easy and stress-free move. But that’s going to be possible only if you make it your mission to have a team of good small movers in NYC by your side.

With it, you can manage to get a rough estimate of the bill that you can expect to see at the end of the day.

What to Consider Before a Small Move
Taking time to plan your small move upfront can help make it simpler and cheaper. In addition to the tips below, we encourage you to ask us for additional ways to minimize your move in terms of time and cost—we’d love to help! Helping you is not only our job – it’s our pleasure, and it’s something that we gladly do whenever you come to us.
Moving Checklist
The first thing you should do when considering a small move making a moving checklist with all the items you need to pack. Your moving checklist will help us determine a timeline for your move, as well as details like how many boxes for moving or other supplies you’ll need.
If you want the process to be as quick as possible, you can consolidate your items and pack moving boxes beforehand. Labeling your things will help movers keep everything organized and confirm that all the items on your moving checklist are accounted for.
Flexibility in Timing
When it comes to a small move, flexibility can be a huge help. If you can be flexible as far as the time and date for your small move, it can help us add your move to our schedule in tandem with an existing job.
It’s often easier for us to fit in a small move in the afternoon, and certain days of the week may have more availability. So don’t hesitate to talk to us about your circumstances—if we can combine your small move with another job, we can save you money.
Special Considerations
Other things to consider when making a small move include the condition of your belongings and your storage needs. If you’re moving fragile items, your move will require extra care. Renting a storage unit in NYC might be helpful if your move is happening over a longer period.
One last thing to keep in mind for a small move is that more isn’t always the merrier. Resist the urge to invite too many friends to help out—things typically go more smoothly with fewer people. If you are using Movers, Not Shakers!, no additional help will be needed. Our team of professional and experienced movers will handle your move completely.
No Moving Minimums
Many professional movers have minimums for the number of hours of labor or the weight of items when charging you. But at Movers, Not Shakers!, we simply charge flat rates based on what you’re moving and the distances involved. There is no minimum number of items we’ll take on! If all you need is for us to move a single large furniture item, we’ll do it.
We’ve even had customers who simply want us to move out tables so they can have a party, then move them back in afterward. No matter how simple the moving checklist or how few boxes for moving you have, we’re happy to get the job done.
Necessary Supplies
The packing supplies necessary for a small move might be minimal: if you just have 20 boxes full of belongings ready to go, you might need nothing but a vehicle. But if your small move involves even one or two larger furniture items, you’ll need bubble wrap, tape, a tow dolly, and specialty packing tools. The costs of supplies can add up quickly on your own, and finding out where to get moving boxes and packing supplies can quickly turn a small move into a large hassle.
Even for small moves, Movers, Not Shakers! can help in a big way in terms of convenience and cost. Moving things yourself might require a day off work, a moving truck rental, a storage unit rental, and hours wrestling with moving boxes, furniture, and packing supplies. Movers, Not Shakers! professionals can pack quickly and provide packing supplies (like our reusable moving bins), we have our own vehicles for transport, and we know NYC streets and building requirements inside and out, helping you avoid common NYC moving mistakes.
Move Green
We’re the first Green New York movers. Our trucks run on bio-diesel fuel, and we use reusable bins instead of boxes.
Save Trees
Our reusable bins save over 80 pounds of cardboard with each move and save more than 1,000 trees each year.
Experience
We have successfully completed over 20,000 moves since 2002. Stress-free move no matter the situation.
