How to Save Money When Moving: Mini-Moves

You know you’re a real New Yorker when you can pinpoint the exact spot the train doors are going to open, so you can board quickly in the morning. Or when you can make the cabbie take your preferred route to your destination – even though it’s both shorter and faster. One more way to tell you’re a real New Yorker? When you know how to take advantage of the Mini Move.

What is a Mini Move?

A Mini Move is exactly what it sounds like – a moving job that doesn’t involve a lot of items. If you’ve got less than a household’s worth of things to move – for example, a single piece of furniture or a few boxes of clothing – it’s a mini move.

PRO TIP: The items in a Mini Move must occupy less than 175 cubic feet.

Mini Moves are Neighborhood Moves

Did you sell a couch on Facebook & need to deliver it to its new owners? Mini Moves are ideal for neighborhood moves. To qualify as a Mini Move, your move must start and end in one of these neighborhoods: North Bronx, Inwood, Queens, Rockland, South Bronx, Manhattan, Richmond, Washington Heights, Brooklyn or Nassau.

Use Mini Moves to Make Your Life Simple

Mini moves are designed to save you time and stress. Carrying heavy boxes and furniture out of a building, loading it into a moving truck, driving it to where it needs to go, unloading the moving truck and transporting everything into the building isn’t exactly a ton of fun. Let the professional movers do the heavy lifting for you. It’s quick, simple, and leaves you with nothing to worry about.

Reasons to Choose a Mini Move

Choose a mini move when you want to move items into storage, or move items out of storage. If you need to send furniture or other household items to a neighborhood friend, acquaintance, or relative, using Shleppers’ mini move service makes it simple. Mini moves are ideal for delivering furniture or other items you’ve sold – it’s also a great way to arrange to have items safely delivered to you by licensed, experienced professionals!
