Dumbo Moving and Storage: 5 Things to Know

Dumbo Moving and Storage is a company that specializes in full-service local and long-distance moves. Based in New York City, the company offers flat-rate pricing and requires upfront deposits. It serves all 50 states, and services deliveries to Great Britain, India, Austria, the Balkan Peninsula, Italy, Egypt, Israel and China.

Here are five things you need to know if you’re considering Dumbo.

1. It charges a flat rate for most moves

Dumbo offers flat-rate pricing for most moves, rather than charging by the hour. You can request a quote online by providing information about your move, such as the distance between locations, building type, moving date and an inventory of your belongings.

The quoted flat-fee price can include:

• Self-packing or full-service packing.

• Disassembly and reassembly of large items.

• Plastic bin rental fee to reduce waste from moving boxes.

The company also recently introduced a new pricing option, PriceByTruck, where you pay a flat fee based on the size of truck you need. This is only available for local moves at this time. When you request the PriceByTruck option, the company will recommend the right-sized truck based on a discussion about your belongings, and your price is guaranteed.

Hourly rates are available upon request. But Dumbo recommends hourly rates only if you’re relocating within the same building and don’t need a moving truck.
