Hey everyone, I’m moving out of a tiny Hoboken apartment next month and feeling a bit overwhelmed — first time I’ll be paying for movers instead of roping in friends. Last time I moved I tried to do it myself and ended up with a scratched bookshelf and a sprained wrist, so this time I want something reliable but not crazy expensive. Anyone here used a local NJ crew that showed up on time, boxed fragile stuff right, and didn’t sneak in surprise fees? I’m open to local recommendations or just tips on what to ask before booking.

Oh — I booked a couple of estimates and ended up really liking a team that felt straightforward about pricing and how they packed fragile items. If you want a quick place to compare options I looked through a roundup of New Jersey moving companies that listed local picks like Zip to Zip Moving, Ample Moving, and Moving of America and gave pros/cons and DOT numbers — that helped me filter who actually does apartment moves vs. long-haul jobs. In my case I asked specifically about in-home estimates, whether they bring wardrobe boxes, and how they handle stairs; that cut down on surprise charges and the crew was polite and fast.

Just passing by — not much to add, but sounds like you’re doing the right thing by getting estimates and asking about packing and insurance. Moving can be a headache but a clear checklist and written quote usually help avoid the worst of it. Good luck with the Hoboken move — stairs are the real enemy.
