“Antwoine and Jordan did a great job. They were polite, friendly and careful. I would call this service again when needed.”

Rafael Solano here, owner of RVS Moving & Delivery Service. In Queens, move dates rarely hold still. A co-op board sits on your approval for weeks; a closing slides; an Astoria lease runs out before the next unit is livable; a new-hire start date up in Boston jumps forward. Since 2013 we’ve kept families from having to lease a self-storage cell of their own and cart everything across the borough twice just to cover a short gap.
The same faces at pickup and delivery
We empty the old apartment, keep the household inside our warehouse for as long as the gap lasts, and bring it back the day your new door opens — all on RVS trucks with the crew you already met. The moment you book, both dates go onto Kevin Ng’s dispatch board, so nothing gets forgotten while your cartons wait on our floor.
| Team size | Rate | Applies to |

| Three movers + truck | $215/hr | Larger homes, faster turnaround |
What a storage bridge runs
| Situation | Flat rate |
|---|---|
| One-bedroom, held about a month | $330 – $460 plus storage |
| Three-bedroom, held about a month | $690 – $950 plus storage |
| Bridging a 2-6 week gap | By home size |
| Waiting out a co-op board delay | By home size |
| Redelivery to the new door | Standard hourly |
In Queens, nearly every storage bridge comes down to one of a few scenarios:
- Board approval that takes longer than the notice already on your old lease
- A closing that the buyer’s side keeps pushing another week or two
- A next apartment that isn’t move-in ready when the current lease expires
- A relocation start date to DC, Philly, or Boston that slides after you’ve already given notice
Everything shows up under one number — you’re not matching a mover’s charge against some standalone storage bill arriving on a different due date. And the per-load protection, up to $1,000,000, remains in force for each night your belongings spend in our warehouse.
Why it matters in this borough
Two things make this common here. Co-op boards keep their own timeline, and one that needs an extra few weeks to clear a buyer can strand a whole family mid-move — we’ve parked entire apartments for precisely that wait. On the other side, when an I-95 relocation nudges a start date after notice is already given, we simply hold the load until the destination is ready.
In and out on the schedule that suits you
Timing delays don’t respect a nine-to-five, so both the load-out and the return delivery can run on evenings or weekends at the regular rate, with no overtime tacked on. Should a rare winter storm put your delivery date at risk, Kevin handles the reschedule himself. Want it packed before it ever reaches the warehouse? Book full-service packing ahead of pickup. Keys in hand at last? Local moving takes the in-town leg and long-distance moving handles anything out of state. To price both ends, drop the details into the instant estimate tool.
