How Florida Movers Manage Fine Art, Antiques, and Expensive Estates

Moving across the state might be frightening at times. In a state the size of Florida, particularly. A Florida moving company that is licensed, skilled, equitable, and eager to collaborate with you and your family to choose the most secure method for packing, moving, and unpacking your valuables is what you want on your side. The Florida movers you require are just what Moving & Storage offers.

Did you know that one of the states in the US with the quickest rates of growth is Florida? In recent years, its population surpassed that of New York. Millions are therefore visiting the Sunshine State. As new work opportunities arise, it also indicates that a large number of individuals are relocating inside the state. Finding the best in-state Florida mover might be difficult because there are so many firms to choose from.

Moving Hints

Licensing: If you’re moving locally, make sure the moving business you’re considering has a license from the Department of Agriculture Consumer Services in the State of Florida and/or Palm Beach County. The laws governing moving companies in Broward and Miami-Dade Counties are different.

Reference Checks: Get recommendations for a moving company from friends and family who have recently moved.For moving firms (and all other businesses), look up a business information report and consumer dispute history. These “Business Information Reports” can also be obtained by calling the Consumer Affairs Division.

Packing: Ascertain who will pack the boxes. When the moving company packs your belongings in boxes, the cost of the move will go up. If something breaks in a box that they did not pack, moving companies will not be held accountable.

Valuation Coverage: Every moving business is required to offer a minimum of $.60 (sixty cents) in valuation coverage, which is comparable to insurance, for each pound of any item that is lost, damaged, or destroyed during transit. For instance, the moving firm is only required to compensate you with sixty cents per pound, or $3, if your $300 table lamp, weighing five pounds, is stolen or broken. Find out how much “Additional Valuation Coverage” will cost by contacting your moving company. The moving firm must provide “Additional Valuation Coverage” if you purchase it.

Unloading: Unless you failed to fulfill your responsibilities—for example, by failing to reserve the freight elevator or fully reveal all the products being moved—the total price you must pay should not exceed the written estimate.

If you have paid the sum indicated on the written estimate or Bill of Lading, the moving company is required by Florida State Law Chapter 507 to dump your belongings at the ultimate location.

When a moving firm refuses to unload home items after the customer has paid the estimated price or Bill of Lading, it is a felony criminal violation. Failure to pay the estimate or Bill of Lading may legally result in the moving company refusing to unload your household items. 

Stock

Prior to loading the things into the delivery vehicle, your mover will typically write an inventory of the objects being transported, with the exception of local moves.

Each item being moved will have a numbered sticker applied by the mover as they go through the house, along with a statement that describes its condition and any prior damage. Make sure your mover gives thorough explanations of any prior damage to any item. 

Conclusion 

A local moving company will take care of everything from the beginning to the end. Movers can pack, deconstruct beds or other major furniture, cover the items in furniture blankets, and move all of your boxes and furniture from your old house to your new one, depending on the level of service you want. Most local moves can be finished in one business day, depending on the distance and size of the move.
