New York is the capital of the service universe. If you have a crazy idea for a company, New York City is the one place that has enough people with the disposable income to make it a success. With everything in the world being “luxury” these days, companies have to work hard to find new services that distinguish themselves to the 10021 set. Enter Flatrate Elite, the high-end moving company that provides the world’s only true luxury moving experience. The company professes to have thought of everything, from providing you with your own private “elite liaison”, to setting up all of your electronics, to moving your rare wine collection. This really seems like something Michael Shvo would think up. How long until Flatrate Elite is the official mover of the W New York Downtown? Also, how has this not been covered in New York Magazine?
Literally, all you need is a Centurion Card and a lot of nice stuff that needs moving. You barely have to know your address. Okay, all you have to know is your name and how to use your cell phone. That’s it!

“Led by your personal Elite Liaison, we’ll handle everything you need for your move from start to finish. From planning and logistics, to unpacking and setup, we’ll move you to your new home while beautifully managing and protecting your art, antiques, wine collection, pianos, buildings, and more in the process.”
Elite Liaison

Packing & Unpacking, Labeling and Inventory
Our skilled packing teams employ a precise and proprietary packing and labeling system, in which each box is meticulously inventoried, photographed and packed. Thanks to this unique system, the contents of every packed box can be reviewed without opening. You’ll also be provided with a detailed list of your entire transferred inventory on the day of the move. The same team to pack your belongings will then unpack for you upon arrival, as well, replacing everything carefully where it belongs.

The carpenter will build custom crates for your belongings where required, and also handles disassembly and reassembly of furnishings or items as well.
