FAQ

I hear horror stories about corrupt moving companies all of the time. Are there any hidden charges in your estimate?

>No, our estimates are all inclusive rates. The only way you may see additional charges are if additional services are required, and even then we offer quotes up front.

Do you offer boxes for moving services?

We offer all types of materials for your next move, ranging from boxes, to mattress bags, even markers! Our prices are competitive, we offer free delivery, and will even take back any boxes that are not used and credit you the difference.

Should I purchase additional liability on my items?

The State of Florida mandates every Moving Company to offer a standard $0.60 per pound per article. This means, if you have a dresser that weighs 100 pounds and it gets damaged in any way, our liability is $60.00 that is placed toward the repair or replacement of this piece. If you have any items that are of extreme value, we encourage you to check with your estimator about costs to raise the liability limits for that/those specific piece(s). The peace of mind you get is worth it!

Are you fully licensed and insured?

Every Moving Company in the State of Florida must be licensed with not only with the State, but Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties are required to obtain an additional license in order to operate. Our insurance limits exceed the minimum requirements as well.

Do you offer storage?

Yes, we offer both short term and long term storage for all of our customers. Our warehouse is air conditioned, being built in 2005. We offer state of the art storage options and reasonable prices.

How can I check to make sure a Mover is in good standing with the County and Better Business Bureau?

Broward County Consumer Affairs offers information on every licensed Moving Company,
including any complaints that are placed. This information can be obtained by calling 954-765-5350
or visiting 115 S. Andrews Ave. Annex Room A460, Fort Lauderdale, Fl 33301. You can also visit the Better Business Bureau on the web at www.bbbsoutheastflorida.org or by calling 954-432-4900.

Is gratuity expected for the crew?

Although gratuity is not mandatory, it is a generous form of appreciation for the men
and a way of thanking them for caring for your belongings. Our men put an extra strive in handling your life with the hopes of this form of appreciation in return. A standard gratuity amount is 10-15% of the entire move price for the crew to split.

What if it starts to rain during our move?

Although we wrap all of your furniture for transportation, there is still the chance of rain damage to your goods. We will try to protect your goods from rain to the best of our ability, but we cannot guarantee we will succeed 100%. If the rain starts to come down too hard, we will have no choice but to hold off, not only for your items’ safety, but the safety of our crew as well. We offer 15 minutes of waiting time at no additional charge, then if the rain continues we must explore our options to complete the move. This can be discussed with your estimator.

BEST SELLERS

The following is a list of items that we found valuable during a move. Although these items may not pertain to you directly, we do offer them to make this day go smoother.

Additional liability:

Most customers don’t want to pay to have inexpensive items covered under insurance. This is why the $0.60 per pound is offered for ALL of your goods. If you have a couple of pieces that are extremely valuable to you, we can offer to have the liability raised for these items specifically. Just let your estimator know what items these are, and we can generate a price for you to feel comfortable.

Boxes

We offer all types of materials for your next move, ranging from boxes, to mattress bags, even markers! Our prices are competitive, we offer free delivery, and will even take back any boxes that are not used and credit you the difference.

Floor Protection:

Many of our customer’s have new flooring installed right before we arrive. Since we cannot remove our shoes and safely work, there is potential dirt to the floors. We offer floor protection that can be placed over your floors to prevent this dirt, possible scratches, etc… Although our men are trained to be careful with flooring, this is just an extra safety precaution that we take.

Mattress Bags:

Perhaps our most requested item. These bags are worth their weight in gold! They are inexpensive and cover your mattress from dirt, rain, and soiling. The mattresses are bagged at the point of pick up, and then sealed to give you peace of mind that you are sleeping on a clean bed. The prices start at $4.00 for a twin bed and range to $7.00 for a king bed.

Plastic Wrap:

Plastic wrap is handy to wrap your leather items or any upholstery that is lighter in color. It prevents the chance of accidental tears and any dirt that shows on lighter colored items. Plastic wrap costs $5.00 per item, an inexpensive investment for the protection that you are receiving.

Speed Pack/Commercial Bin:

This is a large box used for all of the last minute loose ends. I’m sure you thought you had time to gather those items, but don’t worry! Our professionals can help get these items together on the day of the move, so they’re not forgotten. When we deliver, we ask that you designate a location for the speed pack to be unloaded, as it is only loaned and used as a last minute transporter. Since this is not the “proper” way of moving the items, we will be more that happy to supply the box but unfortunately we cannot accept liability in the event something is damaged inside the box. Speed Pack and Commercial Bin service is available at $18.00 per box.

Wardrobe Boxes:

These are used to hang your clothing during transport, and prevent them from getting dirty. Wardrobe boxes make it easier than making 10 trips over to the new home in your car! These boxes are loaned at a price of $3.50 each or purchase for $11.00. The average home uses 10 boxes, which would be a small price of $35.00 to move all of your clothes that you don’t want wrinkled in a box! At this price you would spend more in gas going back and forth!

Our trucks are supplied with 10 Wardrobe Boxes, 1 Roll of Plastic Wrap as well as assorted sizes of Mattress Bags at all times. If you would like any of the other materials listed above brought to your home, please notify your estimator at least one day in advance to be sure that we can fulfill your requests.

This disclosure form must be provided to the customer with the written estimate. The form must be signed by the customer and the moving company prior to any work being performed. Original copy to customer.

Each of the three county governments (Broward, Miami Dade, and Palm Beach) have separate ordinances regulating moving companies. Most regulations within the
three ordinances are similar, but each county is responsible for it’s own enforcement. The following information provides consumers with a basic understanding of their rights and responsibilities when dealing with a moving
company in the tri-county area. These ordinances only regulate moves that begin and end in any of these counties.

Written Estimates-
Consumers anticipating a move are entitled to a detailed written estimate that includes ALL expected charges related to labor, transportation, packing, inventory, storage and additional valuation coverage. It is important for consumers to clearly reveal all that is to be moved. Moving companies may charge for the estimate; however, the cost of preparing an estimate must be fully disclosed and approved by the customer. All three counties require the moving company provide the consumer with a written contract (bill of lading) containing the total cost of the move and the consumer’s written authorization/signature prior to starting any move. A moving company cannot refuse to deliver your goods if you have paid the amount agreed upon in the written estimate or written contract.

Written Inventory-
Consumers have the right to a written inventory of all household goods to be moved by a moving company. The moving company may charge for the inventory. The moving company cannot require that the right to an inventory be waived, but the consumer may voluntarily waive the inventory process. All charges to complete an inventory by a moving company must conspicuously be disclosed to the consumer. In Palm Beach County a moving company must provide a “no charge” inventory when the move is not point-to-point/same day or storage is required.

Written Contract-
A written contract (often called a bill of lading) is required to be prepared by the moving company and must be signed, timed and dated by the consumer (or his/her representative) and the moving company representative before the work begins. The contract must conspicuously provide the “bottom line” cost of all charges associated with the move (i.e. inventory preparation, labor, transportation, packing materials, storage and any additional valuation coverage).

Lost/Damage Claims-
The consumer has up to 60 days to notify the moving company in writing of any claim for loss or damage. If the claim cannot be satisfied in 30 days from the date of the claim, the mover must advise the consumer of the status of the claim and reason for the delay. The mover must satisfy or object to a claim no more than 90 days after receipt of the consumer’s written notice. If asked to sign a statement acknowledging receipt of goods, consumers may make notations on
the receipt as to known damage or missing items.

Licenses/Permits-
Moving companies operating in the tri-county area are required to be licensed/permitted by their respectivelocal government consumer agency where the mover‘s primary business location is based and the Florida Consumer Services Division. Consumers may call to determine the current license status of any moving company (Phone numbers and addresses are on the reverse side). If a problem is unable to be resolved with a moving company, please contact the appropriate government consumer agency immediately. The above are general descriptions of the three ordinances regulating moving companies. More information may be
obtained by contacting your consumer agency. Information or complaints involving moves in Florida, outside the tri-county area, call the Florida
Division of Consumer Services at 1-800-435-7352.
