How to Select a Moving Company:

Just Pick the Cheapest One… Right? (Absolutely Not 😂)**

If you're planning a move in Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, or anywhere across South Florida, you might be asking yourself the most important question in human history:

“How do I choose a moving company?”

Well, don’t worry. We’ve cracked the code. Follow these totally real and not sarcastic at all tips to find the perfect movers.


A man smiling and giving a thumbs-up while another person struggles to carry an oversized cardboard box behind him. Bold text at the top reads: ‘How to Select a Moving Company: Just Pick the Cheapest One… Right? (Absolutely Not 😂).’ The image humorously illustrates bad moving-company choices.

Step 1: Always Choose the Cheapest Company You Can Find!

If you want a moving experience you’ll never forget (because you’ll still be dealing with it three months later), go ahead and pick the company that offers a 3-bedroom move for $99 and a slice of pizza.

Red flag? No, no. That's entrepreneurial spirit.

After all, what could go wrong?(Answer: Everything. Literally everything.)

Step 2: Hire the Movers Who Never Say “No.”

Ask if they can move your 900-lb piano down a spiral staircase?👉 “YES, of course!”

Ask if they can finish your entire long-distance move from Miami to New York in 6 hours?👉 “YES, absolutely!”

Ask if they offer free packing, free storage, free gas, free labor, free insurance, and maybe even free cookies?👉 “YES, YES, YES!”

These are the movers who promise the world… and then show up with two guys, one broken dolly, and a dream.

Step 3: Confirm They Have a Mysterious “Flat Rate” That Magically Changes Later

If the quote is cheaper than your grocery bill, that’s how you know it’s legit.And the extra “fuel surcharge,” “stairs fee,” “walking fee,” “breathing oxygen fee,” and “thinking-about-moving fee”?Totally normal.

Bonus points if they only take cash, preferably handed over in a parking lot.

Step 4: Make Sure They Have “Reviews” — Especially the Ones From 5 Years Ago

If their last review says:

“They moved my stuff… eventually.”

That’s basically a five-star masterpiece.

And if every review mentions the same name, same wording, and same typos?Look at that consistency! These people are professionals.

Step 5: If They Can’t Tell You Their Address… EVEN BETTER

Real moving companies have buildings, offices, dispatch centers, trained crews, and customer support.

But real adventurers hire the moving company that says their “office” is:

  • A truck

  • A storage unit

  • Their cousin’s living room

  • "We meet customers at Dunkin’"

Because nothing says “trustworthy long-distance movers” like a business that appears and disappears like a Miami thunderstorm.

Step 6: Book Movers Who Answer the Phone Like You’re Calling Their Personal Cell

If they pick up with:“Hello?... uh… Movers?”

Perfect. That’s the energy you want to trust with everything you own.

What You Should Actually Do (But This Part Isn’t Funny 🤣)

When selecting local or long-distance movers in Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Aventura, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, Miami Beach, Boca Raton, and surrounding areas, look for:

✔ Licensed & insured movers✔ Transparent pricing✔ Real, recent reviews✔ Professional trucks & trained crews✔ Clear communication✔ No bait-and-switch estimates✔ A real physical address✔ Actual customer service

Your furniture deserves better than a mystery-van operation.

Final Thoughts: Don’t Let the Wrong Movers Turn Your Move Into a Horror Movie 🎬

Choosing a moving company in South Florida doesn't have to be stressful, but choosing the wrong one… oh, that definitely will be.

If you want a smooth, safe, reliable moving experience, skip the “$99 special” and go with a team that actually knows what they’re doing.

Because the only thing worse than moving…is moving twice because the first company lost half your stuff.
