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 vetted DOT-licensed crews — all the simplicity of a company like Moving Right Along, plus the technology and pricing transparency of a modern platform. Hiring any moving company directly means you vet the crew, negotiate the price, and pay them yourself on move day. Booking through Movd instead is a protected transaction: your price is approved up front from your full inventory, and your payment is held by Movd until after your move.

How Movd Protects Your Move
With Moving Right Along — or any moving company you hire directly — you vet the crew, you negotiate the price, and you pay them yourself. With Movd, the transaction itself is protected:
You pay Movd — not a crew on your doorstep
Book with a $50 deposit. Your card is pre-authorized before the move, the balance is charged only after your move is complete, and Movd releases your mover's payout after the job is done. No cash handoffs, no doorstep renegotiation.
A price you approve before anyone lifts a box
Your quote is computed from your full inventory and building access up front, and every package includes a built-in volume buffer so small misses don't change your price — backed by the $2,500 Move Guarantee.
No negotiation, no sales pressure
Input-based and approval-based: enter your move, review the computed price, book it. No phone haggling, no bait-and-switch, no on-site renegotiation.
A vetted, accountable crew
Every Movd fleet partner is pre-vetted, DOT-licensed, and insured, and Movd handles the Certificate of Insurance paperwork with your building — someone stands behind the move besides the crew itself.
