How a Miami move is priced
Moving to Miami is priced the interstate way, by weight. Expect a rate per pound plus a minimum space reservation, the least you pay for, much like the minimum hours on a local move. Extra pounds are charged at the rate you were quoted. This estimate is non-binding; your invoice reflects what the loaded shipment really weighs.
If a set price matters more, reserve an entire truck for a flat fee. You get a binding price and guaranteed pickup and delivery. Stairs or an elevator at delivery do not add to it.
After pickup the loaded shipment is weighed, and you receive the net weight and the scale ticket. Decide what stays behind before the free on-site inspection, so the estimate covers only what is going.
Delivery window
Delivery time window: up to 30 days (company policy). Average delivery time window: 7 to 14 days, counted from your earliest available delivery date.
Pick that date carefully: it is the first day the Miami home can take the shipment. Plan your own travel so someone is there from that date on.
What can be added at delivery
Four delivery-side services may apply on a weight-based move: extra flights of stairs after the first, a carry longer than 100 feet, elevator use, and a shuttle when the big truck cannot get close. We note the likely ones on your estimate.
What you pay for, and what is extra
The rate covers all mileage, taxes and tolls. Loading and unloading, disassembly and reassembly, and a labeled inventory of every item are part of it too. Blankets and tape cost nothing extra, and other supplies are billed as used. Basic valuation is $0.60 per pound per article, and full value protection can be bought from Baker International (account ID 17421). Packing is an add-on, and unpacking boxes is not included.
Paying for the move
You pay 50% at pickup and 50% at delivery. Payment: Cash, Money Order, Visa, or Mastercard (3% transaction fee applies for card payments). Card balances are paid one day before delivery. Returning customers save 7%, as do agent referrals; friend referrals save 5%.
