Ask building management first
- Is a move date or elevator reservation required?
- What hours are available?
- Is a loading dock or service entrance assigned?
- What floor, wall, or elevator protection is required?
- Are there deposits, documents, or concierge steps?
Walk the full loading path
Look beyond the unit door. Count stair flights, note tight corners, measure oversized items, and estimate the distance from the unit to the legal loading area.
Coordinate parking and keys
Confirm where a vehicle can legally stop and whether a fob, loading-room key, or concierge escort is needed. Do not include access codes in the website form.
Include these details in your quote request
- Building type and floor at each end
- Elevator or loading time window
- Stairs, tight turns, and long carries
- Parking or loading restrictions
