Origin: This will take a little more time. The movers are going to have to haul furniture up/down 3 flights of stairs. In addition, there is no parking in the drive way so the movers will have to walk the furniture to the truck which is parked on the street.


Destination: This will be a piece of cake and will take less time to unload. There are no stairs, and they can pull the ramp right to the garage.
