We charge a very competitive rate for top notch service. Trying to save a penny often means spending a buck in the end and self moves often end up being costlier than you initially expect. Besides the tremendous expense of your time, you‘ll need to purchase boxes, packing materials, tape, helpers, fuel, rental fees, parking passes, tolls, extra trips to the store for the things you’ve forgotten, not to mention breakage costs. It’s a hassle, a waste of valuable resources and a nightmare waiting to happen. When you hire the experienced movers you can avoid all of these extra costs, insure your belongings and have an accurate economic forecast for the entire process from start to finish.

The hassle of finding or buying boxes alone is worth it. You don’t have to worry about finding boxes, packing tape or a pen when you need to mark things. Plus, we do all of the rest of the work. Did you know that 850 million tons of paper and cardboard end up in landfills across the United States annually? Because we use our boxes hundreds of times, the environmental impact of creating them is far less than the impact of manufacturing or recycling all of that cardboard. The average person uses around 60 boxes per move, weighing 100 lbs or more, and when that ends up in a landfill it releases methane into the air. That’s a lot of cardboard waste we’ve saved so far and the more customers we serve, the closer we get to a healthier earth. Our reusable plastic bins are more durable than cardboard and keep your precious belongings much better protected than if packed in cardboard.
All of our moves are insured for damages at the rate of $.60/lb and our team of movers and if you require more extensive coverage we offer supplemental insurance as well. Your building may require a certificate of insurance. It’s basically a legal document that protects the property from liability in the unlikely event that an issue should arise during the move. This is something Movers Not Shakers has, in addition to having relationships with buildings all over the NYC area and beyond.
With over 10,000 moves to date behind us, we make the process so simple that most of our customers say it’s the easiest moving experience they’ve ever had and continue to use us for their additional moving needs. With a highly experienced moving team, you don’t have to worry that your armoire is going to break your father’s back or whether or not we will actually show up.
You wouldn’t believe the things we’ve moved, from motorcycle collections to Burning Man artwork. We have seen it all. Life-size mannequins? No problem. Got your own loom? Collect chandeliers?
