We used a local mover in NY that made weekly runs to FL. We had them deliver our stuff to a storage room. When we found our new home and closed we had a local mover bring things from the storage unit. Pods, Packrat, Uhaul box etc work well if it is mostly boxes - but anything shifting or breaking is on you as you pack it yourself. I seal all edges of the boxes which I would recommend if they will be sitting a while to keep bugs out. It also keeps humans out if sealed that well - label with numbers - not rooms. room #1 1/3 that way you can be sure you got everything. It was impossible to count the 100+ boxes that I shipped and so far I don't think I lost anything. The workers move so fast bringing things in.

Think 2x about bringing furniture, most people have found it doesn't work or look good in your Fl home. The resale stores are full of northern furniture.

Just buyer beware - there is an online "moving" company called Belmont Moving and storage that quotes very good prices - it is a scam. Belmont is a booking agency and farms out the orders to people who rent trucks to move you and triple the price you were quoted. BE VERY CAREFUL about choosing a moving company on line.

( about 6x6) so the 4 corners of the POD can sit on your driveway without leaving damage or rust stains. We had purchased 2x4s but our driver brought the plywood. Very happy with them-- it was the easiest part of the move! We moved from Arizona but used to live in Elmira. Welcome neighbor! |

I second Villages Relocation. They gave referrals to several reputable national companies. We ended up picking United/Suddath and were extremely pleased.
