Hello everybody!
​
I need to move from Newark, NJ, to Manhattan, NY. I found an affordable apartment there, and it’s a pretty good deal. Besides, it’s closer to work, and I won’t need to stay in traffic jams all day long on my way to work and back home. Literally, I will save 3-4 hours daily by moving there.
​
But the only issue is that I need to move to a new apartment ASAP. Ideally, I should manage to do everything during the weekend. So, I have already started packing stuff I don’t use, like books, paintings, and home accessories. Still, I feel like I won’t be able to finish on time because I need to return my apartment in mint condition to get my deposit back.
​
I return home dead tired, and I can barely move. Still, I try to do a bit of packing. I also need to go to different stores and ask for clean empty boxes. Time was not on my side, and I started to panic slowly.
​
I could pack everything in my car and ask friends to help me. So, maybe in 5-6 rides from my old place to my new place, I will manage to move all my boxes and stuff. Luckily, I rented my old place completely furnished, so there’s no need to dismantle furniture. Still, I need to furnish my new place and buy a mattress. But all new furniture can wait a bit.
​
As I said, the time is not on my side. So, I googled some life hacks on how to do packing in no time and ran into movers Somerset NJ company. They also mention that they provide packing services. It seems like a pretty good deal. But I haven’t requested a quote from them yet. I have never dealt with moving companies ever. Every time I did everything myself, I knew how exhausting it might be. But, on the other hand, I’m worried that if the new company won’t careful with my belongings and break something? Do they provide a damage replacement?
​
Please let me know if you have any experience dealing with moving companies.
