I had an absolutely incredible experience with FlatRate Moving! From start to finish, everything was seamless and professional. The team did an outstanding job — I didn’t have to lift a finger. They packed every single item with such care and attention to detail, and everything arrived in perfect condition. The movers were not only efficient, but also extremely polite, ...

One of the EASIEST 5 STAR reviews I’ve EVER given. No BS! I was referred by my boss, who had used them 4 times in 10 years (kids moving out, etc…). I contacted the company, set up a virtual tour of what we had with a representative, and everything was MUCH cheaper than we thought and SO smooth!!! We did the virtual assessment 4 weeks before we moved and were...

Where do I begin??? From the point of contact Laurence has been there, supporting me even before our contract. Then, when he had some scheduled time off he handed me off to George who responded quickly and got me what I needed. Then…the crew who showed up on time this morning…will never find the best words for them. They were professional, respectful, and ge...

Amazing experience I’ve never used flat rate before it was recommended by one of my friends. Living in New York City in the fifth floor walk up we were dreading the move to our new home but everything from the customer service to the consultation to the actual team that came to our apartment it was seamless. They came on time very efficient. Wait know what they’re doing...

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.
