FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
When is payment collected for my move?
Payment is typically collected once your move is completed and you’re fully satisfied with our service. For larger or long-distance moves, a small deposit may be required to secure your date.
Why is my quote more expensive than others I’ve received?
Our quotes reflect the value of working with a licensed, insured, and experienced Florida moving company. We include trained professionals, reliable equipment, and full accountability — no hidden fees or surprise charges.
What discounts are available for moving services?
We regularly offer discounts for military members, students, and seniors. Ask your relocation specialist about current specials or seasonal promotions.
Do you offer price matching?
Yes! If you’ve received a written quote from a licensed and insured competitor, we’ll make every effort to match or beat their rate while maintaining our superior quality of service.
What is a “Trip Fee” or “Truck Fee”?
This fee covers travel time, fuel, and vehicle wear between our office and your pickup/delivery location. It ensures our trucks and equipment remain well-maintained and ready for every move.
What materials and equipment are included in my quote?
Every Florida State Movers quote includes moving blankets, dollies, shrink wrap, straps, and protective padding. Specialty packing materials or crating can be added upon request.
Is there a job minimum?
Yes. Local moves have a minimum hourly charge that depends on your service area and crew size. Your moving coordinator will clearly explain all minimums before booking.
What is valuation?
Valuation is the coverage that protects your belongings during a move. We offer standard liability coverage and optional full-value protection for added peace of mind.
Do I have to put down a deposit to secure my moving date?
Yes. A small refundable deposit guarantees your time slot on our schedule and ensures crew availability for your preferred moving date.
Do I need to be onsite all day on moving day?
We recommend that you or a trusted representative be present to answer questions and confirm placement of items. This helps everything go smoothly and according to plan.
Do the movers stop for lunch or breaks?
Our crews take short, scheduled breaks as needed, but you only pay for the time they’re actively working on your move.
How do I know who is showing up on moving day?
You’ll receive a confirmation with the names or descriptions of your crew. All Florida State Movers employees are background-checked, uniformed, and professionally trained.
What size truck will be used for my move?
We dispatch the correct truck size based on your inventory — from smaller 16-foot trucks for apartments to large 26-foot trucks for whole homes or long-distance moves.
Are we allowed to help the movers?
You’re welcome to assist with packing or smaller tasks, but for safety and liability reasons, our crew will handle all lifting, loading, and transport.
What happens if there is inclement weather on my scheduled moving date?
We move rain or shine and take precautions to protect your belongings. If extreme weather makes it unsafe, we’ll reschedule at your convenience at no additional cost.
Do the movers disassemble and reassemble furniture?
Yes! We can disassemble and reassemble beds, tables, and other standard furniture at no extra charge.
Can you load personal belongings into my vehicle?
Yes, we can safely load your items into your personal vehicle or trailer as long as space and access allow.
Can you disconnect and reconnect appliances?
Our movers can assist with simple disconnections and hookups. However, for gas or water lines, we recommend using a licensed technician for safety.
How can I prepare my home for moving day?
Label boxes clearly by room, remove obstacles from walkways, and set aside personal items you plan to move yourself. Make sure pets and children are safely out of the way when movers arrive.
Are there any items you can’t move?
For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials (paint, propane, chemicals), perishable food, live plants, or firearms. Your coordinator can provide a complete list.
Do I need to inform someone if my inventory has changed?
Yes. If you add or remove large items, please let us know so we can adjust your truck size, crew, and time estimates.
Can I request an in-person estimate for my move?
Absolutely. We offer free in-home and virtual estimates to ensure accuracy and transparency before you book.
If I purchase moving boxes from you, how soon can they be delivered?
We can typically deliver packing supplies within 24–48 hours of your order so you can get started right away.
What types of services does Florida State Movers provide?
We offer local and long-distance moving, residential and commercial relocation, full packing and unpacking, labor-only loading, and specialty item moves such as pianos or antiques.
Do you offer storage solutions?
Yes. We provide secure, climate-controlled short- and long-term storage for customers in transition or downsizing.
Do you offer car, boat, or golf cart transport?
Yes. We can arrange licensed and insured transport for cars, boats, and recreational vehicles through trusted partners.
Can you load my own POD or U-Haul truck?
Definitely. Our labor-only service lets you rent your own truck or container while our movers handle the heavy lifting, loading, and securing.
What is valuation?
Valuation is the declared value of your shipment, which determines the level of financial protection during your move. We offer multiple options to fit your comfort level.
What happens if something is broken or missing?
We take great care with your belongings, but if an issue occurs, report it to our claims department promptly so we can resolve it quickly.
How do I officially file a damage claim?
Contact our customer service team for a claim form. We’ll guide you step-by-step and ensure a timely review.
What information should I have prepared if I do file a claim?
Have your move date, inventory list, photos of damaged items, and a brief description ready to help speed up processing.
