NYC-Specific Tips

NYC Apartment Moving Tips

These details separate a smooth NYC apartment move from a chaotic one.

  • Book the service elevator early. Most buildings require 48–72 hours notice. Call your super the moment you have a confirmed move date.
  • Confirm your access window. Most NYC buildings allow 2–4 hour windows. Know yours before you book delivery.
  • Protect the lobby and elevator walls. Some buildings require padding in freight elevators. Ask management — your dolly keeps floor contact minimal.
  • Use the dolly on every trip. EazyCrate bins are designed to stack on the included dolly. Roll — don’t carry — and cut your trips in half.
  • Schedule delivery 1–2 days before move day. Pack in advance, move fast on the day itself.

What to Avoid

Common NYC Apartment Moving Mistakes

Underestimating bin count

NYC apartments hold more than they look. A cluttered 1BR often needs 25+ bins. Use the calculator — or size up and return what you don’t use.

Booking the elevator too late

Buildings fill their elevator slots fast on weekends. If you’re moving Friday–Sunday, contact your super immediately after booking EazyCrate.

Using cardboard in a no-cardboard building

Co-ops and newer buildings increasingly ban cardboard in freight elevators. Reusable plastic bins have no restriction issues — no wax, no tape residue, no collapse risk.

FAQ

Apartment Moving Bins — FAQ

Do EazyCrate bins fit in NYC service elevators?+
Yes. EazyCrate bins are sized to fit standard NYC apartment building service elevators. The included dolly lets you stack and roll multiple bins per trip without individual carrying.

What if my building only allows a 2-hour move window?+
EazyCrate bins stack uniformly and roll on the dolly — faster loading than cardboard. Most apartment moves finish within a standard building window. Book the right bin count and have everything pre-packed before move day.

How many bins does a studio apartment need?+
The Studio package includes 15 bins, which covers a typical NYC studio (books, kitchen, clothes, bedding, small electronics). If you have a packed wardrobe or lots of kitchen items, consider the 1BR package with 25 bins. Use the bin calculator for a personalized estimate.

Can I get bins delivered to one address and picked up from another?+
Yes — that’s the standard setup. We deliver to your current apartment and pick up from your new address after you’ve unpacked. Both must be within EazyCrate’s NYC service area (all 5 boroughs).

My co-op requires lobby floor protection. Is that a problem?+
No. EazyCrate bins roll on the dolly, which significantly reduces floor contact versus dragging boxes. You’ll still need to arrange any building-required protection (masonite boards, elevator pads) directly with the building. The bins themselves won’t complicate it.

How far in advance should I book for a NYC apartment move?+
Ideally 5–7 days ahead. During peak moving season (May–September) in NYC, booking earlier is better. Weekends fill up fast — if you’re moving on a Saturday, book at least a week out and reserve your building’s service elevator at the same time.
