This is my second move with FlatRate, and they continue to impress me! This time was a much bigger move with a lot more furniture, and I was relocating two states away from NYC. The movers were quick, extremely careful, and very organized. They helped me figure out where to place my special belongings and made sure everything was safely packed and handled with care. Eve...

From start to finish, FlatRate Moving took all the worry out of the move. The initial quote was the final payment – no last minute surprises! The movers were courteous and professional and treated our valuables with care. FlatRate Moving was recommended to us, and I would recommend them to others.

This was our second move with Flatrate

This was our second move with Flatrate. I highly recommend them. Very responsive, professional and competitive pricing. Crews are polite and efficient and having an App where you can track your moving truck’s location is quite helpful. We have a third move coming up and I wouldn’t even think of using any other company.

The Complexity of Moving in Manhattan

Moving in Manhattan comes with unique challenges, from strict building regulations to tight spaces. FlatRate Moving understands these obstacles and plans every detail to ensure a smooth transition.

Common challenges include:

  • Specific moving restrictions – Many buildings have set rules for move-in and move-out times.
  • Limited access to elevators and stairways – Navigating tight spaces with large furniture can be difficult.
  • Time slot reservations – Some buildings require booking elevator access in advance.

To address these challenges, FlatRate Moving coordinates directly with building management, ensures proper scheduling, and handles all logistics for a seamless move.
