People who moved Florida to Delaware
5 of 5 · 13 Sept 2026 · reported $3,300
“Moved some very heavy furniture from my house to my daughter’s. These guys were amazing. Wrapped everything with drawers. Very careful with other pieces. No damage to anything. They were on time, fast, hard working, and super nice. I feel like I should have paid them more. Will definitely recommend them to everyone.”
4 of 5 · 25 Aug 2026 · reported $3,000
“The staff made the booking process easy and provided useful information. On moving day, the crew worked efficiently and showed good attention to detail. Communication during the transportation stage could have been stronger. The overall service was still worthwhile.”
5 of 5 · 13 Aug 2026 · reported $2,400
“From the first phone call to the final delivery, the service was exceptional. No hidden fees, no damage, and everything arrived exactly when promised. The movers were punctual, professional, and incredibly careful with our fragile items. I highly recommend MG Vanlines to anyone planning a move.”
What went wrong on this run: of 38 reviews, 32% mention damage and 13% a delay or a no-show. Reviewer-reported, counted by phrase.
Who makes this move
These are counts of movers, not reasons.
About 1,574 people moved from Florida to Delaware in the Census ACS 2024 count, with a margin of plus or minus 1,286. The reverse flow was 1,581 people, so the two directions sit close together. These are counts of movers, not reasons. The file does not say why anyone left.
Price levels differ slightly. BEA price parity for 2024 sets the US at 100. Florida sits at 103.4 and Delaware at 99.8, so spending power on that index is a bit higher in Delaware. Florida does not tax wages. Delaware taxes wages. This note does not give a rate, and the parity figures are not a household budget.
What the job looks like
Read those shares as a thin slice, not a full picture of every truck on this route.
The most common run in our file is Tampa to Newark, 997 miles, about 19 hours of driving. Treat that driving time as the cab portion only. Loading, the delivery window, and any extra stops sit on top of it, so the job can cover more calendar days than the drive hours suggest. Ask how many days the order lists.
Weight and miles set the price. Long distance moves are priced by weight and miles, and this run mixes home sizes, so the dollar figures spread out. Across 38 priced reviews the median reported price is $4,000, with the middle half from $3,374 to $4,500. That figure is a median. Delivery is a window set on the order for service, not a single clock time.
The sample is smaller, with 38 reviews in our file for this run. Of those, 32% mention damage and 13% mention a delay or a no-show. Read those shares as a thin slice, not a full picture of every truck on this route. A scratched dresser in a short file can move the percentage a lot.
Before you book
On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate.
Check the paperwork first. An interstate household move needs a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household goods authority. Look the number up before you pay anyone. Haulest is not a carrier and does not haul the load. Use the license lookup and keep the printout with the estimate.
Get the estimate type in writing. Ask whether the price is binding or a not to exceed figure, and read how an estimate works before you sign. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate. The 110 percent rule is the ceiling on what you must pay to get the goods that day.
Put the window and the deposit on paper. Delivery is a window set on the order for service, so write the dates into the order before pickup. Deposit terms should say how much is due, when, and what happens if you cancel. Read deposit terms with the same care you give the weight ticket. Keep both papers with the estimate.
