What is the best process for moving in furniture? I'm moving to NYC next week and I want to get a few things online to be delivered the day I move in. What moving company should I reach out to? Where should I be ordering my furniture?

You ordering already-built furniture? Or flat packed stuff to be assembled in your apartment?

If it's already-built stuff your building will probably require you to schedule it in advance, book stuff, show moving insurance and all that. If flat packed probably more flexible.

I’d contact movers ASAP, next week is the end of the month and June/July are prime moving months. You might have some trouble finding availability

Yes and also to book out your elevator if you haven’t already and need to.

Part of this depends on your building. If they restrict when you can move in and what movers can come in.

My building allowed me to ship some regular (still in box) furniture and the concierge kept it there until I moved in (about a week or so). Would recommend for at least the mattress and the bed. So nice to already have it there.

Good luck!
