Here is what our customers are saying about Dumbo Moving across the internet.
Absolutely amazing experience! The crew was professional, fast, and incredibly careful with all our furniture. They navigated our narrow Brooklyn walkup like pros. Made moving day completely stress-free. Would recommend to anyone moving in NYC!
Best movers in NYC, hands down. They showed up right on time, worked efficiently, and absolutely nothing was damaged — even my grandmother's antique mirror. The quote was accurate to the penny. Fair pricing with zero surprises.
Third time using Dumbo Moving and they never disappoint. This time we moved our entire office in Midtown — 40 desks, server equipment, the works. They had us up and running in the new space by Monday morning. Incredible logistics.
These guys are the real deal. Moved my entire 3-bedroom apartment in under 4 hours — and we're talking a 4th-floor walkup in the Bronx. They wrapped everything perfectly, no scratches on walls or floors. Highly recommend!

Learn More About UsFull-Service Moving by Dumbo
Dumbo Moving handles every stage of your relocation, from furniture disassembly at pickup to unpacking and setup at your new place.
Professional Packing
Our team packs everything using professional-grade materials, bubble wrap, moving blankets, custom boxes, and crates. Fragile items, bulky furniture, and awkward pieces all get the right protection before anything is loaded.
Unpacking and Setup
We don't drop boxes and disappear. Once we arrive, our movers unpack your belongings and arrange your new space so it's functional from the moment we leave.
Furniture Disassembly
Beds, desks, wardrobes, and shelving units: we break everything down before the move and reassemble it at the destination, so you're not left with a pile of parts at the end of a long day.
Dedicated Moving Truck
Your belongings travel in their own truck. Nothing gets mixed with other customers' loads, which means faster delivery and no risk of items going to the wrong address.
Building Coordination
COIs, elevator reservations, parking permits, and building management communication: we take care of all of it ahead of moving day, so there are no delays when the crew shows up.
Moving Supplies
Prefer to pack yourself? You can purchase boxes, crates, bubble wrap, tape, and other packing supplies directly from Dumbo Moving and get everything you need in one order.
The Price We Quote Is the Price You Pay.
We send you a clear, itemized quote before anything is confirmed. It covers every service your move requires, with nothing added on afterward. What you approve is what you pay.
All-Inclusive Quote
Labor, truck, fuel, tolls, supplies, and protection. Everything your move requires is accounted for in one clear number before you commit.
Zero Hidden Fees
Whatever we charge you for the move is mentioned up front. There are no hidden fees and no surprise charges that you have to worry about dealing with once the move is underway.
Price-Lock Guarantee
Once you approve your quote, that number is locked. Even if the move runs longer than expected, the price does not change.
We Cover All Five Boroughs
No matter where you're moving in NYC, Dumbo Moving has you covered.
Need Storage? We've Got Space.
Our secure, climate-controlled storage facilities keep your belongings safe and accessible whenever you need them. You can hire short-term storage and long-term storage depending on how long you need your belongings safely stashed away.
What to Expect on Moving Day
The moving process is very simple and smoothly coordinated when you work with our company. Here is what you can expect on moving day.
Pre-Move Prep
The day before your move, our team confirms the timing, reviews any building requirements, and has all materials prepared and ready.
Crew Arrives On Time
Your dedicated crew shows up at the scheduled window, uniformed and equipped. Whether it is a Monday morning or a Saturday in the middle of winter, we are there when we said we would be.
Packing and Protection
Every item is wrapped, padded, and secured before it goes near the truck. Furniture is disassembled where needed and protected throughout.
Loading and Transport
Items are loaded deliberately, not just stacked. Your belongings travel in a dedicated truck, with nothing belonging to another customer sharing the space.
Unloading and Setup
Everything comes off the truck and goes exactly where you want it. Furniture is reassembled, boxes are organized by room, and nothing is left for you to sort through alone.
Final Walkthrough
Before we leave, we will do a walkthrough with you to confirm everything is in order. If something needs adjusting, we take care of it before we go.
Tips for a Smooth Move
Valuable moving advice from 10,000+ NYC relocations.
#1 — Book Early
Schedule your move at least 2–3 weeks ahead, especially during summer months when NYC moves peak.
#2 — Declutter First
Donate, sell, or toss what you don't need. Less stuff means a faster, cheaper move.
#3 — Label Everything
Mark each box with the room and a brief description. Your unpacking self will thank you.
#4 — Get Your COI Ready
Most NYC buildings require a Certificate of Insurance. But you don’t actually have to worry about this. We provide them free of charge.
#5 — Prep Appliances
Defrost your fridge 24 hours before. Disconnect washers and dryers the night before.
#6 — Keep Essentials Separate
Pack a bag with chargers, toiletries, medications, and a change of clothes for day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about moving with Dumbo Moving
For most moves in New York City, one to two weeks in advance is the sweet spot. That said, we keep availability open for last-minute bookings. If you need movers in NYC on short notice, call us, and we will tell you what we can do.
Our quotes are binding. As one of the few NYC movers that guarantees a locked price, what you approve before moving day is what you pay at the end of it.
That is on us. Certificates of insurance, elevator reservations, and parking permits are part of what we manage before every move. It is one of the things that sets experienced movers in NYC apart from companies that show up and figure it out on the spot.
We handle it. Every move comes with coverage, and if something is damaged in our care, we have a straightforward claims process to make it right. Ask us about coverage options when you book.
Yes, and we do it regularly. Walk-ups are one of the most common scenarios for movers in NYC, and our crew comes prepared with the right equipment and approach for buildings without elevator access.
Often yes. We are one of the NYC movers that keeps availability open specifically for last-minute situations. Lease ending sooner than expected, closing moved up, plans changed, whatever it may be. You can call us, and we will work with your timeline.
Both options are available. Our team can handle the full pack before the move, or we can arrive at a place that is already packed and ready to go. If you only need help with part of it, that works too.
