“The movers I had were Trey and Brandon. Both were wonderful young men. They were super communicative, careful, quick, respectful, funny, and trustworthy. I didn't feel like I had to watch them. They were extremely accommodating. They took initiative and got started right away. The entire experience was seamless!”

“Moving in NYC is its own special brand of hell, but Americas Choice Moving Group made it painless. I was moving from a studio in the East Village to Brooklyn, and the biggest challenge was parking and a narrow four-story walk-up. The crew arrived early, secured a spot with their cones, and had…”

“We're a large family and have more than we probably should and it would have taken us weeks to accomplish what they did in roughly eight hours. The three workmen sent to our house - Cesar, Eric, and Iverson - were all diligent, careful, and polite. Cesar, especially, was a real delight to work with…”
What went wrong on this run: of 75 reviews, 36% mention damage and 19% a delay or a no-show. Reviewer-reported, counted by phrase.
Who makes this move
In ACS 2024, 9,951 people moved from Colorado to Florida, margin plus or minus 2,110.
The Census flow runs both ways. In ACS 2024, 9,951 people moved from Colorado to Florida, margin plus or minus 2,110. The other direction was larger: 12,564 people moved from Florida to Colorado. The counts show volume, and they do not say why anyone packed a truck.
Price levels sit near the US mark. BEA price parity for 2024 sets the US at 100. Colorado is 103.1 and Florida is 103.4. Colorado taxes wages, and Florida does not tax wages. Do not read a rate into that split; the parity figures are the cost comparison this page can stand on.
What the job looks like
Of those reviews, 36% mention damage and 19% mention a delay or a no-show.
The common run is long. In our file the most common Colorado to Florida trip is Denver to Miami, 2,063 miles, about 37 hours of driving. Plan for days on the road, since that hour count is driving time and the delivery is a window set on the order for service.
Price follows weight and miles. Long-distance moves are priced by weight and miles, and our 75 reviews for this run show a median of $5,000 across 75 priced reviews. The middle half runs from $3,780 to $7,000. Those figures mix home sizes and distances, so treat the median as a marker, not a quote for your house.
Damage and delays show up in the file. Of those reviews, 36% mention damage and 19% mention a delay or a no-show. Delivery on this kind of move is a window set on the order for service, so a late truck is a window problem. Read the dates on the order before you count on a handoff day.
Before you book
On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver once you pay 110 percent of the estimate.
Check the license before the quote. An interstate household move needs a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Look the number up on the license lookup before you send a deposit. Haulest is not a carrier and does not book the truck for you.
Pin the estimate type in writing. Ask whether the price is binding or a not-to-exceed figure, and read the line items the way a moving estimate is meant to be read. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver once you pay 110 percent of the estimate. See the 110 percent rule before you treat a low bid as the bill.
Get the window and the deposit in writing. The delivery window is set on the order for service, so the spread of dates should be on the paperwork, not in a text you cannot find later. Deposit terms belong in that same packet. Read them against a deposit guide before money leaves your account.
