NEW YORK, Sept. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- It's happening again, and by "it," I mean "moving," and by "again," I mean "an inexplicable number of times for someone not in the military." This time the spur is the sale of my building.

/PRNewswire-iReach/ -- City Express Moving Inc.
For someone who hates to move, I've moved a lot: After trucking my heavy oak furniture, stacks of books, and oversize bed frame all over New York no less than seven times, I should be an expert mover. Not quite. One day last summer, after spending a harrowing, sticky afternoon maneuvering a fifteen-foot rental truck through the narrow streets of Cobble Hill, I was feeling pretty proud of myself. Then, as I was pulling into an Exxon, the truck lurched forward, and I heard a sound like an elephant with indigestion. Before I knew it, the truck had reduced the wooden divider between the gas pumps to a heap of splinters, and the rim above the front tire was fit for a Greene Street gallery.
Apparently, it isn't true that the only way to get a job done is to do it yourself. And considering the dent U-Haul subsequently put in my American Express card, going to the pros would have been much cheaper too.
You think your big-screen TV set was hard to move? How about a taxidermied moose? Or a rare-wine collection that has to be kept cool and vibration-free? "Every oddball thing is just that: an interesting challenge," hiring riggers to hoist giant artworks through windows, putting oversize goods on top of elevators, and pulling out a variety of other tricks.
There are plenty of solid local outfits but our favorite is City Express Moving (925 East 14th Street, with other locations in Brooklyn, and Queens; 800-718-7763). A one-bedroom apartment costs from $280 to move, and larger apartments range from about $450 to $670. The tip is up to you.
