Such an amazing job and beautiful attention to detail!
Movers were so helpful and made the experience stress-free. The pricing is fair and they took care of my stuff like it was their own. They were really nice which goes such a long way and they constructed my bed for me and brought all the wrapping to protect the furniture. I really can’t recommend Flat rate movers enough and I’ll definitely be using them for my next move.

Consistent from the beginning to the end.

Best moving experience so far – the team of 3 worked SO well together and they were courteous and helpful and just very positive and upbeat. But the best part is they stayed consistent from the beginning to the end. Some moves the movers lose it toward the end. They just got it done and it went really smoothly all the way through. A TEN for this team!!

Thank you Flatrate for always delivering!

I’ve used Flatrate for about 10 moves including 1 across country, 2 out of state and 1 of which I used their storage service. I would not be such a loyal customer if they were not exceptional. This final move was exceptional and the team fantastic. Thank you Flatrate for always delivering!

Excellent service from start to finish.

When you call you reach an actual person who returns calls, follows up, and does what he says he is going to do. The movers themselves were careful, efficient and friendly. This was our second move in NYC with FlateRate and while I hope to stay put for a while I would definitely use the company again.

Why Is An Onsite Visit Before a Move Important for the Success of a Move?

An onsite visit before a move can be an important factor that contributes largely to the success of a move. During an onsite visit, your moving company can assess specific challenges and details pertaining to your move. This can include things such as:

  • Oversized furniture
  • Tight or narrow spaces
  • Delicate or fragile items
  • Carpentry needs
  • Custom-made furniture
  • Disassembly requirements
  • Amount of packing needed

This firsthand evaluation enables your movers to come fully prepared with the right equipment and team size. Onsite visits help prevent potential inconveniences on moving day by giving your movers a good understanding of your move’s unique requirements.
