Our pricing is transparent and straightforward, with no corporate overhead or hidden fees passed on to you. We invest in our community by employing local, full-time professionals, not day laborers.

How to Save Thousands on Your Long-Distance Move

A long-distance move can be expensive, but it doesn't have to break the bank. The single biggest way to save money and avoid costly disasters is to steer clear of "broker" services and large van lines that co-load your belongings with multiple other households. These companies often result in vague delivery windows, lost items, and surprise fees. Instead, choose a direct mover like Secure Florida Movers that provides a binding, flat-rate quote and a dedicated truck for your move. This eliminates the risk of your price increasing and ensures a faster, safer delivery. Additionally, decluttering before your move is crucial. The less you move, the less you pay. Sell, donate, or discard items you no longer need. Finally, be flexible with your move date if possible. Moving during the off-season (October through April) can often result in lower prices than the peak summer months.

Packing Like a Pro: 7 Secrets Movers Use Daily

The secret to a successful move lies in the packing. Here are seven tips from our pros: 1. Use Quality Materials: Don't skimp on boxes. Use new, sturdy boxes in various sizes. 2. Reinforce the Bottom: Always use an extra strip of tape on the bottom of each box. 3. Pack Heavy Items in Small Boxes: This makes them manageable to lift and prevents box failure. Books, for example, should go in small boxes. 4. Label Everything: Label each box with its contents AND its destination room. This is a game-changer for unpacking. 5. Use Packing Paper Liberally: Crumple it up to create cushioning at the bottom, top, and around items. 6. Pack Plates Vertically: Like records in a crate, plates are stronger on their edge than when packed flat. 7. Don't Overfill: The top of the box should close flat. An overfilled box can't be stacked securely in the truck.
