Moving From Baltimore To Florida

Moving from Baltimore to Florida

Moving from Baltimore to Florida is a tough decision because, without proper research and planning, the move is not good. You may encounter a variety of issues, including stress, time constraints, and expense. The Three Movers provide national and international hauling solutions globally. Let's start your moving journey from Baltimore to Florida.

The Maryland city of Baltimore is a great place to call home. This perhaps explains why it’s the most populous city in Maryland.

However, when duty calls and you have to relocate to Florida, you shouldn’t complain too much as Florida is just as homey as Baltimore. Just as Maryland boasts some beautiful beaches and diverse culture, so does Florida.

Indeed, Florida boasts a bigger economy, better job opportunities, and a more satisfying outdoor life thanks to the better weather. Florida also boasts some of the biggest cities in the world, with Orlando and Tampa particularly standing out.

Where Can I Find the Right Carrier?

The right apartment carriers are everywhere – if you look carefully. Since you’ll need an interstate hauler, consider the following tips;

1. Get recommendations

One of the best places to begin your search for the right shifter is your social circle. Whether online or offline, ask around if someone in your circles knows a reputable long-distance relocator who can relocate you to Florida.

1. Screen every mover

There’s been a rise in fraudulent activities in the industry lately. Every few days, we hear of someone losing hard-earned money and sometimes even valuable possessions to fraudsters. Therefore, it’s crucial to “background-check” every shifter on your shortlist.

1. Registration and licensing are a must

You can negotiate on several things, including the price and the date of the transport. However, never compromise in registration and licensing. If the company isn’t duly registered and licensed, strike them off you're shortlisted right away.

1. Always consider insurance

It helps to buy insurance when shifting in case one of your prized possessions goes missing or is damaged during shipment. However, we strongly recommend that you also find a moving company that offers insurance for damages and losses for greater protection.

1. Think about your car and business

If you intend to bring along the car, consider car shipment services. Alternatively, find a full-service mover. Full-service carriers will take care of every aspect of the shifting process. The same applies if you’re relocating with your business. You can either hire a specialized office hauler separately or find a full-service mover who’ll take care of everything.

Cost of Shifting

The cost to relocate from Baltimore, Maryland, to Florida ranges from $1.060 to $3,290 on average, depending on the size of the move and other factors such as load volume, relocation distance, international and cross-border transporting, the timing of your move, packing materials, equipment and machinery, accessibility, storage cost, etc.

Keep an Eye Out for Scams and Shifter Red Flags

Although there’s no shortage of genuine relocators that will efficiently relocate your apartment and business from Baltimore to Florida, fraudsters are always lurking. Here’s how to reduce the risk of getting scammed;

• Get everything in writing: There’s a common trend where fraudsters ask you to sign a blank contract and then overcharge you later on. This becomes impossible when you get everything in writing.
• Reject suspicious “quotes”: There are three types of hauling contracts, i.e., non-binding estimates, non-binding to exceed estimates, and binding estimates. Don’t accept any other contracts outside these three.
• Beware of name-switchers: Some companies avoid harsh public backlash by switching names from time to time or even operating under different names simultaneously. Avoid these companies like the plague.
• Never pay large deposits: If you must pay a deposit, ensure two things. First, only pay a small fraction of the total cost – 20% at most. Secondly, consider paying on non-cash means, perhaps via check or in an escrow account. Ideally, though, you should avoid deposits if possible.
