The moving industry generates many complaints across Florida annually. Complaints range from dings, dents and scratches on household items to holding personal belongings hostage until additional money is paid. Be sure that you hire a mover with a good reputation, references and that you understand the fine print of your contract. You should also plan six to eight weeks in advance to book a reputable moving company during the busy spring to Labour Day period. Here are 10 Tips on Hiring a Moving Company: the to see if there are complaints against the company. Ask for and call all three references to gauge the mover’s professionalism and reliability. Choose a company with excellent customer service. Step 3: Know whether an estimate is binding or non-binding. Ask about rates. Be aware of any conditions that may lead to additional costs, such as moves over a certain mileage or goods over a certain weight. Ask what happens if goods are damaged, and under what conditions is the mover responsible and for how much. With non-binding estimates, the moving cost is based on an estimated hourly rate and/or the estimated weight of the cargo. The risk is that it can be difficult to know how heavy a house’s contents might be or how long they’ll take to move. Beware that there are no guarantees that the final cost won’t exceed the non-binding estimate. Step 4: Ask for all your options. Understand how packing options affect the price. For example, if you pack certain goods yourself, can you save some money? Or pack everything yourself with portable containers that are delivered to your home. You pack them, and the company transports them to your new home. Step 5: Confirm the Crew If you are moving a long distance, inquire about tracking options so that you can find out where your belongings are. Ask for crew contact information such as name and cell phone in order to contact them if necessary. Be sure they can guarantee a delivery date.

Moving Day Checklist for Younger Children Packing Time! Time to Sort Your Stuff! Moving is a good reason to get rid of things you don't want anymore, which will also make room for new things you might get in the future! Go through your all toys and games and group them into three piles: First Pile: Things you want to take with you to the new home. Second Pile: Things to toss out (broken toys and games with missing pieces). Third Pile: Things you don't want but could be given away to other kids. Ask: "What Else"! Ask your parents what else can you do to help with all the sorting and packing that needs to be done. They will appreciate your help! Mark Your Stuff as "Yours"! Design your own personal "seal" for marking your boxes as YOUR property! As your belongings are packed, draw your "seal" on the outside of each box. Be creative! You can create your own work of art to mark your belongings. Get Ready for Your First Night! Your first night in your new home is very special. Be sure to have your favorite pajamas, your trust blanket or stuffed toy, or your favorite book packed away in your suitcase or backpack. This will be your very own piece that you'll personally be in charge of to take with you to your new place to get ready for your first night in your new home! Don't Forget to Bring Some Entertainment! Don't forget to take some things for you to do on the airplane or in the car on the way to the new home, such as books, video games, action figures, or crayons and paper.
