The process from beginning to end was easy.
We had a great move today using Flat Rate Moving! The process from beginning to end was easy, and while we were scrambling (moving is no fun,) the movers were amazingly helpful, and made the process much less painful than in the past. The original quote was from a FaceTime call, and adding and removing items and boxes was easy (and the quote adjusted quickly and underst...

Reliable, transparent, and professional.
Moving is so stressful, but Flat Rate made it a smoother process from start to finish. I had my things in a storage unit with Flat Rate for over a year. Payments and communication were always consistent. Then I hired them to move all my things long distance and that was also a great experience. Shout out to my mover for quick and easy communication.

Made me feel well taken care of.

I lived on a 5th floor walk up and they crushed that move. So fast and efficient. Anything they took apart to move they put back together perfectly. They were so friendly and made me feel well taken care of. Would definitely hire again.

Superb!

My moving experience could not have been any smoother or more pleasant, and that’s a hard thing to say because moving is inherently a pain in the neck. My team of movers was superb! They were fast, very thorough and professional, and they could not have been nicer! If there was an option for six stars, they would definitely be worthy of it!

They worked harder than any movers I’ve ever seen.
Just moved for the 6th time in NYC, and wow, this was the absolute best experience yet! George D. was super upfront and clear about the costs when he gave us our quote. But the real MVPs were Marko and his crew. They worked harder than any movers I’ve ever seen in the city, going the extra mile to make sure everything was packed just right and ended up exactly whe...
