If you go with any legit moving firm, they are going to cost at least 1k. If you want to save money, suggest renting a Uhaul and buying friends pizza/beer.

I just used Dumbo thanks to recs here, and they were great! If within Manhattan, they’ll give you a flat rate depending on the stuff you have

I used empire state moving for moving within manhattan. 4-hr flat fee or pay by the hour - we moved two small apartments into one and thought we had a lot of stuff so chose the 4-hr flat fee and they finished up in under 2 hours haha. I think 4hrs was 800-850. They provide COIs and are super efficient and careful.

Recommended them to a friend recently who moved from Brooklyn to LIC and they absolutely loved them too.

Just got multiple quotes for a one bed (probably 4-5 Van's worth). Came in at $700. Hire movers.

My small move that required just two Van's was about $400 two years ago.

Thanks all!

One additional question- has anyone hired movers who also pack and unpack? I know it's a service that exists, but I don't know if it's worth the (presumably) large cost differential.

I would like to be in a buzzy area close to restaurant, brunch, easy to move around without subway, ideally without having to worry about horrible things happening 24/7. Thanks!
