”Every aspect of the experience was top-notch, from renting the reusable crates to communication with the office, to the team making the actual move. The move team was right on-time, efficient, and just generally great. I will definitely be using Cool Hand Movers the next time we move.”
Three reasons to hire movers for your short distance or small load move:
-
Certificates of Insurance are included in every Cool Hand Movers move. Just because you’re only moving a few things doesn't mean your building doesn't require insured movers. Check your move-in/out requirements. You may need insured movers even for furniture delivery of a single item.
-
Time is precious in the fast-paced world of New York City. Even going a short distance can mean traffic or tickets. Professional movers have the experience and tools to speed up the process. They can load and unload your items efficiently and easily disassemble furniture pieces.
-
DIY moves can lead to unexpected damage to your belongings or your property. Fixing or replacing damaged items can be expensive, sometimes more than hiring movers. Movers know how to handle your items carefully, reducing the risk of damage.

Self Pack - Just the Move
With a small move, you have the advantage of being able to take your time and pack your belongings carefully. Use sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing paper to protect fragile items. Labeling each box with its contents and the room it belongs to will make unpacking much easier at your new location. Rent reusable bins to reduce waste and clutter.
-
Partial Packing
For small moves, you may not require extensive packing services. Instead, you can choose partial packing services. This allows you to pack some items yourself while leaving the more delicate or challenging items to the professionals. Partial packing is a flexible solution that caters to your preferences.
-
Unpacking
Once you've arrived at your new location, Cool Hand Movers can assist with unpacking. This service can significantly reduce the time it takes to settle into your new home. Let us know if you’re interested in this add-on when requesting a moving estimate.

Additional Services for Small Moves
Besides packing and moving services for small moves, we offer additional services that can enhance your moving experience:
Packing Supply Delivery
Order sustainable, reusable moving bins to be delivered ahead of your move.
Loading and Unloading
Small moves aren't always local. Even a relatively small load may require professional experience to fit into your rental truck. Once items are wrapped, they become bulkier. Movers consider that as they pack your vehicle or pod to be safely transported.
Specialty Item Handling
If you have oversized or specialty items, like artwork, Cool Hand Movers will properly handle and protect them with blankets & cardboard.
Donation & Junk Removal
In partnership with Ruth's Refuge, Cool Hand Movers can help you rehome gently used items. This can help you streamline your move and reduce the number of items you need to transport.
