What to Know About Moving Right Along
Moving Right Along is a straightforward local mover that does one thing well: quick, affordable apartment moves in Manhattan and Brooklyn. They don't try to be everything to everyone — no storage, no long-distance, no corporate services. This focus keeps their pricing competitive and their crews efficient. Walk-up experience is a genuine strength, as their teams handle narrow staircases and tight corners with practiced ease. The limitation is obvious: if you need anything beyond a simple point-A-to-point-B local move, you'll need to look elsewhere. Their phone-only booking process feels dated, and their smaller size means summer availability is tight. For the straightforward studio or one-bedroom move, they're a reliable choice. But Movd's platform offers similar local expertise with the added benefits of flat-fee pricing, online booking, and real-time crew matching — all the simplicity of a company like Moving Right Along, plus the technology and pricing transparency of a modern platform. When booking through Movd, you'll see Moving Right Along alongside 15+ other DOT-licensed movers. Compare prices, availability, and choose the best option for your specific move.
