Get referrals for NYC moving companies
Narrowing down a list of reputable New York moving companies just by searching the internet is hard. Look for referrals before committing. Start by asking friends, co-workers, and family. Chances are one or two people around you have moved recently.
Make sure they offer an in-person inventory estimation
Look for companies that send an estimator to look at your belongings. This helps in getting an inventory of items to be moved. Your NY mover will then know the bulk and weight. One red flag is a company that is not willing to do an inventory. The original article noted in-person inventories were reduced due to COVID-19, so where possible Liffey will do a virtual survey.

Ensure you have a copy of the contract
A good NYC moving company should offer different contracts depending on the type of move. Request time to read the contract and research the different types. Liffey offers packages from commercial to long haul and specialty moving.
Your selection should be based on your moving needs
Ask: where are you moving to? Local or interstate? Equipment that needs specialized skills? Additional services like packing? Answering these helps you figure out the package. More hiring notes: hiring a moving company. Get a quote.
