The whole experience went really well, from booking to delivery. Zuleika provided guidance and patience throughout the booking process. The moving team was just as professional and kind. They were on time, assisted with everything and more, with the delivery ended up happening during the snowstorm. They manage beautifully. Thank you!

The whole Team was amazing start to finish. Nothing bad to say at all, only fantastic work! From the team that reached out to understand our needs to the movers who were amazing. The movers showed up exactly on time, so much so we thought it couldn’t actually be them. They moved a whole big unit in 55 minutes with 3 guys. They moved it from LIC to CT and showed up...

Do it! Book your move.

Everyone was amazing. When I called on a Monday they were able to accommodate my move for that Friday. Everyone was friendly, professional, and Ms. Ming was a sweetheart from the start. Definitely will be booking again in the future.

Love it 100%. Wouldn’t change a thing. The three gentlemen were perfect. Transported everything delicately/gently, yet very quickly. Respectful, pleasant, five out of five stars.

I’ve used FlatRate twice before, a few years apart, with the most recent time being today. They’re really an A+ company. Everyone that I spoke with was informative, responsive, and seemed genuinely happy to help. My move was seamless. I had an issue with the price I was charged vs the price I was quoted and they fixed it immediately. Moving sucks, but FlatRate made it really simple. Would definitely recommend.

Organized, efficient, and fair

Communication was great across all teams. Movers were on time, handled my items with care, organized, and efficient. Price from the sales team was reasonable and competitive. I’ve used Flat Rate 2 years in a row, and both times they made my moving day go smoothly! Highly recommend.

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.
