Ever wondered how cool companies get started? Back in 2007, in a hip Brooklyn neighborhood called DUMBO (that actually stands for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass!), a small moving company launched with just a single truck. Fast forward to today, and Dumbo Moving & Storage has totally transformed into a moving powerhouse with over 55 trucks zooming around New York City!
What makes Dumbo Moving so different from other moving companies? For starters, they don't charge by the hour like most movers (who might work super slow just to make more money or rush and break your stuff). Instead, they charge a flat fee per item—which means no surprises on your bill! This smart approach has earned them an awesome 4.8-star rating and more than 4,000 happy customers on Google.
They're also big on saving the planet! While most moving companies create tons of waste with cardboard boxes, Dumbo offers free plastic bins that you can reuse for your move (saving up to $250 on supplies). Plus, all their packing materials are either biodegradable or recyclable—perfect for when you're trying to convince your parents you care about the environment!
These guys aren't just moving apartments, either. They handle everything from pianos to actual museum pieces! They've become so trusted that they're the official movers for the NYC Mayor's office and have partnered with New York City FC soccer team.
Starting from their Brooklyn roots, Dumbo Moving now travels everywhere—all five NYC boroughs, Long Island, New Jersey, and even as far as Florida. Their incredible journey from one truck to moving superstars shows how a company that truly cares about its customers (and charges fair prices) can become one of New York's most trusted moving services.
