Can anyone recommend mover for SMALL, local (Brooklyn) move?

ap · July 2009

We are moving 2 blocks from our current place. We have a one-bedroom apt., so not a lot of furniture, but it is 3 flights up + 2 flights at new apt.

Can anyone recommend a mover for a small move? We basically need 2 guys with a small van/truck and dolly for about 2-3 hours.

Even if they have no vehicle, it's OK--I can get an SUV from Zipcar.

Any advice or tips would be most welcome!

Thanks!

the board's resident man with van is Armchair Warrior.

Armchair comes highly recommended, but I'm not sure he actually does that much lifting...

there's been a few of these threads in the past, as you can imagine...do a search for Moving

I used Wong movers - I moved to the next block. They were fabulous and the whole job was done in under 2 hours. They gave me a fixed price so there were no surprises (they ask you questions first about what you are moving....how many boxes, beds, etc.) and I managed to negotiate down from there.

I found them on this board.....I don't have the number handy, but you can find them using a search of the site

I used Wong too, and they were fantastic. It seems a little shady at first (leave a message on what is obviously a cellphone, someone calls you back, they aren't insured, they keep talking about tips, etc.) but I was very satisfied. The only thing that broke was something that I had packed in a stupid way.

I had good luck with Moving Your Way moving from one nabe to another.

I found Rabbit Movers to be a great deal for the level of service. Found them on Yelp. They'll give you a free estimate.
