Hi,

This may sound crazy, but I’m moving from Dean and Carlton to Bergen and Vanderbilt (literally one block over and one block up), and I only have a queen-sized mattress and boxspring to move, plus a few suitcases and maybe a box or two.

It doesn’t seem worth it for me to hire a whole truck and moving company. Can anyone recommend an affordable, reliable alternative? A trustworthy person with a van who can help?

If so, happy to discuss a generous price.

Can anyone recommend a good man with a van company?

Thanks.

Just wanted to recommend a great man with a van. Two brothers: Alexey (Ilya) and Elmir aka RapidMovers. Had a last minute move on Halloween of my Mom’s 2 bedroom apt, with lots of antiques, and they rocked. Even managed to fit it all in our cellar, which was a miracle. They were on time, really friendly, confirmed twice by phone, blanket wrapped everything, made two stops (East Village and Ft. Greene) and went over 15 minutes without charging extra. Kick ass!
$55 an hour for 2 guys and a clean padded 14 ft. van.
Ilya’s number is (917) 595-0905.
Tell him that Mark from Carlton Ave. recommended them.

Making the move we’ve dreamed about… from our 1 bedroom in midtown to a great little townhouse in South Slope.

Who has recommendations for movers?

I’ve heard good things about Flat Rate from colleagues but their estimate seems a little high.

We are moving and must hire movers. We don’t have bed bugs and don’t want to get them.
When I ask, even the most reputable movers answer with “bedbugs? well, we’ve never had them!”

Is that an adequate answer? What would you do to find a move that will guarantee that their trucks are bug free?

I plan to wrap furniture.

Thanks.
