Finding a moving company in NYC

How to find a reliable moving company in New York city?

I know that in this day and age it is hard to find a good moving company that will move your belongings from one side to the other side of Manhattan, you can’t really go from the upper west side to the upper west side of Manhattan without being ripped off and I am sure that you know what I am talking about!
In order to hire a moving company you need to do the following:
Go online and request free estimates from 4-6 moving companies that are serving the New York City metropolitan. (don’t use the “get a mover” site type you need estimates from local companies with NYDOT license)
Check to see that they have a license to work in New York city it should start with NYDOT anything like ICC MC or USDOT is fine but not for local moves within the same city!
Compare prices -hourly rate travel time boxes and supplies prices.
In New York it is illegal to charge for tape bubble wrap or packing paper unless you order those items before the move day! on the move day the movers are not allow to charge for those items.
Make sure to tell your estimator if you have stairs or any special conditions… you don’t want to find out later that they charge you by flight of stairs as well… (Divine Moving doesn’t charge anything in addition to the hourly rate, travel and supplies)

Try to ask your friends for advice on which company to hire I am sure that in one part of their NYC experience they moved with a moving company before and they might help!
