Pre-tip: Schedule Your Move
Most high-rise moves needs to be scheduled not only with the moving company, but with the building managers as well. You have to reserve a time and probably pay a fee for it. If you don’t know do this beforehand there is a good chance you will be denied access to the building or at least the movers won’t be able to help you.
Tip #1: Don’t Simply Count On The Main Elevator
Many people think it is simple – you just use the elevator to get everything where it needs to go. But often time the elevator won’t work for bigger furniture. Many high-rise building have bigger elevators that are designed specifically for moving. You will have to talk to the building manager for those as well, as usually tenants don’t have constant access to moving elevators. Again, this may cost you, depending on your situation and the building you are moving into or out of.
