1. Send the address, not the city name — A New York City quote changes with the block: mention Manhattan, parking rules, stairs, and elevator limits up front.

2. Time it against the season — spring and early fall usually offer the best balance of weather, availability, and price. Confirm how the crew handles a weather or traffic delay on New York routes.

3. Put three quotes side by side — Request at least three and compare labor minimums, mileage, fuel surcharge, packing, and specialty handling line by line.

4. Ask for recent New York City work — Request examples near Manhattan, particularly if stairs, elevator reservations, parking distance, tolls, and winter access applies to your home.

5. Keep slack in the schedule — Building rules and traffic in New York City can push a move later. Reserve elevators early and leave room for a second walkthrough.
