Does anyone know a quick and cheap way to find someone to help me move 2 boxes from the apartment mailroom to my unit? Each one is about 100 pounds and I misjudged how easy they'd be to push along the ground to get to my unit so feel like its better to get some help to not risk scratching anything. I looked on TaskRabbit but it doesn't look like they have anyone that would be available tomorrow (Saturday).

Are there any other places I could find someone to help to bring up these boxes on short notice? Ideally it would stay under $30 since it should be 5-10 minutes at the most and we have an elevator so don't need to carry it that far. (Close to the JSQ path station)

HomeDepot and buy a folding dolly or cart. Handy thing to have and take up no space.

These are legit great for a job like this.

They aren’t super durable but they’ll handle a job like this 10-20 times on average. Cost per job makes it a reasonable disposable purchase.

Can also just return it after.

Ask a neighbour.

As you have a mailroom, I'm guessing this is a luxury building?

Have you spoken to the maintenance people? See if they have a dolly they can lend you, and if they help you, you can throw them a $20 or something?

Seconded this. Tip the staff and they'll probably do it for you.

My building has carts we can use for this very thing. Maybe check with yours to see if they do?

Open the box, take whatever is inside upstairs piece by piece. Throw box away in the end…

What a question. Lol just get a lil old dolly from Home Depot. Hell they even have some that fold away so you can leave in the closet for the next time you need to move a box.
