FAQs

Q Why should I use FlatRate?

With a team of moving experts and top-notch technology, our fleet of trucks, exclusive app and high-quality materials set us apart from other moving companies.

Q Is FlatRate licensed?

We are a fully licensed, insured and bonded moving company that complies with the regulations of the New York Department of Transportation and receives storage license from the Department of Consumer Affairs. For interstate moves, we are regulated by The Interstate Commerce Commission.

Q What are the best days of the week to move?

Wednesdays are the best day since less people request it, followed by Tuesdays and Thursdays. Fridays and weekends are usually the busiest days resulting in competition for elevator access, which can cause delays. In NYC, buildings also commonly have weekend restrictions so it’s best to inquire with yours before booking a date.

Q How far in advance should I schedule my move?

FlatRate recommends at least three weeks in advance when moving locally. For long distance or international, we recommend four weeks.

Q Do you move pianos?

Yes, we are experts when it comes to moving pianos with a trained team fully taking care of the service.

Q Can you move me cross country or to another country?

Yes, we offer both Long Distance and International moving services.

Q Can weather affect my move?

It’s important to consider delays and traffic when it comes to inclement weather but your move WILL NOT be cancelled unless the city puts out a travel/weather warning.
