Unless you have very valuable furniture or a single large item, it usually isn’t worth the cost of the movers for a studio/1 bed.

When I did the move, I rented a large van and packed it with everything important. It was cheaper and the best approach for me.

Posted about this a while back but didn’t get a definitive response. I have a bunch of Manhattan prep GMAT books from the past few years that have little to no writing in them. There’s probably 20 of them so pretty heavy but I’m looking to give this away to someone for free. Only thing is I asked for you to take all of them versus just a few. I live in downtown Manhattan near the stock exchange and hoping to give by the 24th. Thanks!
