WHAT’S INCLUDED

What’s Included With Your NYC Move

We believe in complete pricing transparency with no hidden surprises on moving day. Every Poseidon Moving long-distance quote is fully inclusive, covering all driver labor, truck mileage, state tolls, and standard wrapping materials required to transport your belongings safely across state lines.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Furniture is wrapped and padded for loading, transportation, and delivery, including:

✓ Couches

✓ Chairs

✓ Mattresses

✓ Bed frames

✓ Dressers

✓ Tables

✓ Shelving units

✓ Cabinets

Standard furniture that must be taken apart for safe handling is disassembled before loading and reassembled at delivery as specified in your estimate.

Eligible televisions, mirrors, framed artwork, and other pieces receive the specialty boxes identified during the walkthrough.

The crew loads the shipment at origin and unloads it at the destination, placing furniture and labeled boxes in the requested rooms.

Transportation between the confirmed pickup and delivery addresses is included under the selected service option.

Basic valuation protection is included. Additional valuation options can be reviewed before the move.

The crew arrives with the standard dollies, pads, straps, tools, and other equipment needed for the documented work.

MOVING OPTIONS

NYC Interstate and Cross-Country Moving Options

Choose the transportation tier that best fits your budget, timeline, and shipment size:

Standard

Share truck space with other customers traveling along the same route. Standard service balances cost and timing with a scheduled NYC pickup date and an established delivery window.

Dedicated Truck

Reserve an entire moving truck exclusively for your shipment. Your belongings travel straight to your destination without other customer stops, providing the fastest transit time and exact delivery scheduling.

Smart Move

Designed for studios, one-bedroom apartments, and smaller city shipments with flexible dates. Smart Move combines compatible shipments heading in the same direction to lower your long-distance moving costs.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

What to Know Before Moving Out of New York City

NYC Street Parking Rules. Official temporary no-parking permits for trucks are available on qualifying streets in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Manhattan streets do not support official reserved curb space for standard residential moves.

Strict Building Move Windows. Most co-op and condo boards strictly restrict moves to weekdays between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, banning weekend or holiday moves entirely.

COI Lead Times. Request Certificate of Insurance (COI) requirements and building details from property management at least 5 to 7 days prior to your move date.

Lease Turnover & Closing Gaps. Lease gaps and closing delays are common in NYC, especially around the 1st and 15th of the month. If your move-out and move-in dates don’t match, we hold your items in climate-controlled storage until your destination is ready.

PRICING

How Much Do Long-Distance Movers in NYC Cost?

Long-distance moving costs to or from New York City depend primarily on how much you are moving, your chosen transportation tier, and the distance between your origin and destination. Optional services like packing, custom crating for fragile items, or short-term storage also shape your estimate.

Beyond shipment size, physical access at both ends (walk-up staircases, long carries, freight elevator restrictions, or narrow street shuttle needs) directly affects job timing and crew size.

Poseidon Moving provides binding flat-rate quotes. Request your long-distance moving estimate today.

NYC Long-Distance Moving FAQs

Book 3 to 6 weeks ahead, especially for peak season (May through September) or the first and last days of the month. We accommodate moves on shorter notice as well, including last-minute interstate moves based on availability.

Send your building’s sample COI or requirements to your dedicated move manager. If you don’t have them, your building management can confirm who to list as certificate holder and additional insured. We generate the COI and email it directly to you or your property manager at no extra cost.

Most NYC buildings restrict moves to 2- to 4-hour weekday slots. We review your building’s rules in advance and allocate the required number of movers to finish loading or delivery within the window.

Your price is based on how much you are moving, the distance, access conditions at both locations (walk-ups, elevator buildings, or shuttle truck requirements), and any add-ons like packing or storage.

Federal regulations prohibit interstate carriers from transporting hazardous materials including gasoline, propane, aerosols, paint, ammunition, fireworks, and pesticides. Perishable food, plants, and live animals also cannot be loaded. Your coordinator provides a complete prohibited items list during planning so you have time to make arrangements.

Released Value Protection is included at no extra cost ($0.60/lb/article). Full Value Protection is available for an added charge. Third-party insurance is separate.

Frequently Asked Questions

View all

How do I get an estimate?

Choose whichever fits your schedule for a free quote or consultation.

✓Video walkthrough. A 15-minute video call, room by room. Most popular option.
✓Call us. 866-565-1516 speak with our friendly team.
✓Request a quote online. Send details and we’ll follow up.
✓Free in-person estimate. Available for homes with 2+ bedrooms.

Will my furniture be protected?

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Are there items you can't move?

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

•Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
•Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
•Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
•Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Can you take down TVs and wall-mounted items?

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

✓Mounted TVs
✓Artwork and mirrors
✓Shelving
✓Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

How much will my move cost?

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

✓Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
✓Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Do you provide moving supplies and equipment?

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

✓Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
✓Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
✓Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
