Start with the hero form above, or ring the Long Island City office at (888) 711-4778; both routes land on the same desk over on 29th Street. We just need the starting point, the destination, when you want to go, and how big the place is, and Rachel takes it from there to set a flat number.
Four steps from request to locked-in date
- We confirm what matters. Gina rings or texts to check the origin and destination, your chosen day, how many bedrooms, and whether the building expects a COI. Five minutes, tops.
- Rachel sets the figure. Inside an hour, one binding price hits your inbox, itemized by contents, access, and extras, and signed off so it stays put.
- You move at your own pace. Say yes, tweak what is included like tacking on a whole-home pack, or pass entirely. Nobody hounds you afterward.
- The slot is held. On your go-ahead, $100 to $200 refundable locks the date, a crew is named, and any doorman building gets its certificate of insurance and elevator slot squared away.
Everything the Admiral flat rate already includes
A written number is a fixed number here. The quote is the amount payable on delivery; there is no meter quietly running, nothing piled on at the end of the day, and no follow-up invoice once we have unloaded.
- Vinny’s uniformed, W-2-paid crew handling the job, never an outside subcontractor
- A truck right-sized for the haul, anywhere from a one-room studio to a four-bedroom over the bridge
- Furniture padded and shrink-wrapped piece by piece for a narrow stairwell or a freight car
- Beds, tables, and bunks taken apart and put back together as standard
- $1M in cargo protection covering the move end to end
