Moving To Florida and Problems envolved in the process
Small moves in Florida takes a lot longer than moves in NYC. The distances are bigger and if you choose to go with a company that charges by the hour, don’t be surprised if a move you thought will take four hours will take six hours.
Also, a lot of the building here in Florida allow four moving companies to use the elevator at the same time, imagine how long it takes to complete loading the truck if four different companies are moving four different customers?
We have seen customers that were so stressed, looking at their watch every five minutes and praying not to have to pay for another hour, while our customers didn’t really care. They knew how much they are paying from the start and didn’t have to worry about a thing.
Also, some movers here don’t carry sufficient insurance for the building and if you don’t ask them or if your building management didn’t tell you to ask, on the day of the move your building manager will tell you they cannot work in the building and you will have to look for a moving company that is available to move you right now. If it is the end of the month, I doubt you can find one. So make sure to ask.

I moved from Chicago to Florida last month, I had many difficult problems that came up during that time. The company I was using didn’t have sufficient insurance, and I had to find another moving company to move my stuff. Since it was a big move everything seemed to move slower and it very annoying. Eventually I called up another company and I was very lucky to find that the owner of the company is a high school friend, so we spoke and he helped me move. He did me a great favour in full price. My main point in this entire story is that when anyone moves he should check every aspect of the moving company he hired and make sure that every thing is ok with this company. Make sure that the company has a good reputation and that they have all the certificates to work properly in any area.
