How to Make Moving in NYC Less Stressful

In my opinion, NYC is one of the hardest places to move. It’s expensive, time-consuming, and sometimes you have to carry all of your boxes up 6 flights of stairs! Also I feel like no matter how much “stuff” you think you have in your apartment, you end up having 10 times more.

Here are some other tips for how to make moving easier:

📦 If you have the means, hiring movers is the way to go and worth every penny. In most cases, you never even have to lift a box.

📦 Hiring movers can be less expensive if you move on non-peak days (like on weekdays or before the end of the month)

📦 If movers are out of the budget, ask your friends to help or offer to buy them dinner in exchange for a few hours of their time.

📦 Do some serious decluttering before you start packing. No need to move unnecessary items!

📦 Start packing earlier than you think you need to. Pack non-essential items first and get them out of the way.

No matter how you cut it - moving is going to be stressful. So make it easier for yourself in whatever way you can! 🥰
