Florida-Specific Tips

  • Request full packing if you're making an insurance claim easier — mover-packed boxes have better liability coverage
  • Partial packing (kitchen and breakables only) is a cost-effective middle ground
  • FL heat: movers won't transport aerosols, propane, or live plants — confirm what you need to move yourself

Frequently Asked Questions

Is professional packing worth the cost?
For a cross-state move or if you have a lot of fragile items, yes. Professionally packed boxes have better liability coverage if items are damaged. For local moves with mostly durable items, self-packing is a reasonable choice.
How long does professional packing take?
A 3-bedroom home typically takes 6–10 hours to pack with a 2-person crew. A studio or 1BR takes 3–5 hours. Movers usually pack the day before or the morning of the move.
What items won't movers pack?
Movers typically won't pack hazardous materials (flammables, aerosols, chemicals), live plants, perishable food, or cash/jewelry. Refer to your mover's specific prohibited items list — it's usually in your moving contract.
