Born to Move: The fastest, most affordable way to make a long distance move to New York City

Making a move to New York City when you live nearby has its fair share of challenges. But  moving from another location to NYC and all that entails:packing up your belongings, transporting them long distance, and getting them safely delivered to your new apartment in one piece can take your stress to an entirely different level. Out-of-state moves to NYC can be expensive, plus movers can be careless, and even show up late in the day with your things, wasting time that could be spent unpacking and getting settled. 

It doesn’t have to be that way. Born to Move, a moving company based in Boston, specializes in long distance and last-minute moves to NYC and offers the fastest, most affordable, fully-insured way to move to NYC worry-free. 

Booking a mover to NYC

Surprise: you’re not the only one moving to New York. For that reason, you may find many moving companies already booked. (If you’re moving the weekend before the first of the month, when many leases start, your competition will be especially fierce.) Born to Move offers exceptional flexibility, enabling customers to book as fast as one day prior to a move. (Yes, the next day. Born to Move even offers same-day moving to New York for an additional $300.) 

Create an inventory: How much do you have to move?

Booking with Born to Move is simple: customers submit a moving request and an inventory of what needs to be moved. The inventory can be a written list, photos, or even drafted with the help of a Facetime consult with a Born to Move professional. 

Getting an estimate and scheduling your move

Based on that inventory, Born to Move will provide you with the cost of your move, which is a flat rate with no hidden fees. Sample moving rates are $1,500-$1,800 for a studio, $1,800-$2,200 for a small one bedroom, and $2,200-$2,800 for a small two bedroom. Born to Move can accommodate moves for residences as large as townhouses of five bedrooms or more. 

Once you approve your Born to Move estimate you can schedule your move with no deposit required, and the company also offers insurance with prices based on the stated value of belongings. Sample rates include $120 to insure $10,000 worth of belongings and $270 to insure $30,000 worth. If you need assistance packing, Born to Move will pack for you for an additional of $130-$150 an hour. 

Moving day made easy 

Moving to New York City can be nerve-racking, but with Born to Move, you can feel assured that your belongings will arrive quickly, safely, and early (giving you the day to unpack), all for an affordable and competitive rate. 

Born to Move pros will pick up your belongings the day before your move so that they can hit the road early the day of your move. (For example, a truck in Boston will leave for New York City at 3 a.m.)

The result is that your belongings arrive at your doorstep anywhere in the New York City area in the morning so you can start getting your place set up immediately. To keep costs manageable, a single driver makes the trip and is met by local Born to Move professionals at your new address to unload. Does your building need a Certificate of Insurance for movers? Born to Move can provide one.
