I cannot recommend WellKnown enough. The team arrived EARLY, packed quickly, and graciously moved all of my things into my new 5th floor walkup without a single complaint.

Whether you're going to Manhattan, Brooklyn, or the Long Island suburbs, WellKnown Moving Company is ready to help you with your move. We have teams in both New Jersey and New York, so we know the ins and outs of moving between these two areas.

We use flat rates without any surprise costs. You’ll always know the total price before the move begins. Our team takes care of everything from start to finish, and we work hard to make sure your things arrive safely. Many of our past customers have shared good feedback about our work. We’re also certified by the FMCSA, so you can count on us to handle your home, office, or special items.

Because we’re familiar with both states, we can plan the most efficient move. Most moves are done in one or two days. Whether you're going to busy Manhattan, Jersey City, or a quiet neighborhood, we’ll make things simple. We also handle moves back from New York to New Jersey.

Experienced and Professional Movers from New Jersey to New York

Our drivers regularly use main highways like I-95, I-78, and the Garden State Parkway. This helps us avoid areas that slow things down. We also know the rules for moving trucks in New York, including permits and documents that some buildings need.

We work across all five boroughs in New York and nearby cities in New Jersey like Newark, Hoboken, and Princeton. We also move people to places like Westchester and Long Island. No matter where you're going, we’re ready to help.

Trained Movers with the Right Tools

Every move has a lead mover with at least three years of long-distance moving experience. All our workers go through checks and training. We use modern tools to move large or breakable items safely. Our trucks are fully stocked with padding, straps, and other gear to keep your belongings safe.

Flexible Moving Options

We’ll talk with you before your move to go over the details. Tell us how many items you have, what needs to be packed, and if there’s anything special we should know. We’ll then choose the right number of movers and bring the supplies needed.

If you only need help with part of your move or overnight storage or just moving furniture, we can do that too. We have several options that fit different budgets. Every move comes with basic insurance at no extra cost.

Clear and Simple Pricing

We charge a flat rate, so you won’t pay more for things like stairs or quick stops—unless you're moving something very large or heavy, like a piano or a safe. A deposit is needed to book your move, but it can be refunded if you cancel at least two weeks before the move.

đź’ˇ If you're moving to New York City, getting a parking permit ahead of time can help avoid parking issues and fines on your move day.

Welcome to New York

There’s a reason New York City is so well known. From Times Square to Broadway and world-famous museums, there’s always something going on. The food options are endless, whether you want fancy meals or late-night snacks. Central Park and riverside paths give you a break from the noise and tall buildings.

Living here has its tough parts too. Traffic can be heavy, parking is limited, and costs are higher. But nearby suburbs like White Plains, Yonkers, and even New Jersey spots like Fort Lee or Montclair give you more space while still being close to the city.

Plan and Customize Your Move

We develop a customized long-distance moving plan and determine the timing of the move. At this stage you need to decide whether you are doing the packing yourself or using our professional packing service. If you need additional services or special pricing, we'll find out during the call.

Loading and Transportation

On the appointed day and time, we arrive at the location in South Jersey. If a packing service has been arranged, we carry out the packing on the same day or a day or several days in advance of the move. We load all the things into the truck, wrapping and disassembling the furniture beforehand. The presence of the customer during this process is highly desirable.

Arrange On-Time Delivery & Unpacking

Then we move straight to the final location in New York or make a stop at the storage, if this service has been purchased. We carefully unload all your belongings, leave them in the pre-agreed locations and collect the furniture. If arranged, we help unpack all items.

Post-Move Support

Afterward, we are available to provide counseling and help with any questions you may have after the move. If you find your belongings missing or damaged, please contact us as soon as possible. We will solve everything!

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Moving to NY with us ensures that your moving plan includes all the essential costs required by the movers. There's no need to worry about separate charges for the truck, tools, furniture assembly or disassembly, or even moving heavy items – it's all covered. We also offer flexibility with additional services: you can supply your own packing materials, or we can provide them. Plus, if you prefer, we can handle packing for specific items only. Visit our pricing page to learn more!

Make a list of special items (or just memorize them) that movers need to pay attention to. First of all, these are heavy items (e.g. a piano, a bed, a big dresser). We need to know at least the approximate dimensions and weight. In the second place are fragile and valuable items, antiques, paintings, TV set, etc. This will help us to be better prepared. We also recommend that you clearly define whether you need additional services. If you are not sure yet, we will be happy to advise you.

There are several common ways people get from New Jersey to New York City
  • Train. Many people use NJ Transit trains, which go straight to Penn Station in Manhattan from different towns in New Jersey. Another popular option is the PATH train, which connects places like Hoboken, Jersey City, and Newark to Manhattan.
  • Bus. Public buses run by NJ Transit and private companies go to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan on a regular basis.
  • Car. Some people choose to drive. They use highways such as the New Jersey Turnpike and cross into the city using routes like the Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, or George Washington Bridge.
  • Ferry. Ferries from NY Waterway are available from different New Jersey cities along the Hudson River and go straight into Manhattan.
  • Bike or Walk. A few people bike or walk if they live very close to the city. This is most common for those living in Hoboken or Jersey City.

In most cases, living in New Jersey costs less than living in New York City, especially with housing
  • Rent. Apartments in New Jersey, even in areas close to New York like Hoboken or Jersey City, usually cost less than those in parts of Manhattan or Brooklyn.
  • Property Taxes. Property taxes are higher in New Jersey, but the cost of buying a home in New York City is often much more, which can balance things out.
  • Everyday Expenses. Food, utilities, and other regular expenses are mostly similar in both places, though New Jersey often comes out a little lower overall.
If you're looking at city life, New Jersey can be a better value. If you compare New York City with more suburban towns in New Jersey, the price difference is usually even greater in favor of New Jersey.

You do not have to pay tax twice on the same money, but there are a few steps involved

- If you live in New York but work in New Jersey, you will pay New Jersey state income tax on the money you earn there.
- You will also need to file a New York state tax return and report everything you earned.
- However, New York will give you credit for the taxes you already paid to New Jersey. This means you won’t be charged again on the same income.

The rules are made to avoid double taxation, but filing taxes in this situation can be more detailed. It may help to talk to a tax professional to make sure it’s done right.
