“The white-glove delivery service was a good fit for items that needed careful handling at the final destination.

What went wrong on this run: of 122 reviews, 22% mention damage and 12% a delay or a no-show. Reviewer-reported, counted by phrase.
Who makes this move
Those are headcounts, not a story about why anyone packed a truck.
Census counts a one-way stream. ACS 2024 puts 52,371 people moving from Florida to Georgia, with a margin of plus or minus 8,290. The reverse count is smaller: 34,388 people moved from Georgia to Florida in the same year. Those are headcounts, not a story about why anyone packed a truck.
Price levels differ at each end. BEA price parity for 2024 sets the US at 100. Florida sits at 103.4 and Georgia at 96.3, so the same basket of goods costs a bit more in Florida. Wage tax splits the other way: Florida does not tax wages, and Georgia does.
What the job looks like
Haulest does not haul the freight; a licensed mover does.
The common run is a long drive. In our file the most common trip is Tampa to Atlanta, 456 miles and about 8 hours behind the wheel. That is one interstate long-distance move, priced by shipment weight and miles, not by a flat city pair. A delivery window is set on the order for service, so the truck arrives inside that window.
Review prices sit in a wide band. Across 122 reviews in our file, the median reported price is $3,800, taken from 122 reviews that listed a price. The middle half of those prices runs from $2,250 to $5,488. Homes and distances differ, so the median is a midpoint of reports, not a quote for your load. See what moves cost before you treat any figure as yours.
Damage and delays show up in the file. Of those 122 reviews, 22% mention damage and 12% mention a delay or a no-show. That is a minority of reports, and it is still the part worth reading before you book. A written delivery window is the record if the truck is late. Haulest does not haul the freight; a licensed mover does.
Before you book
A missing number is a reason to stop, even if the price looks low.
Check the carrier before the quote. An interstate household move needs a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Look the number up in the license lookup and confirm the authority is for household goods, not only freight. A missing number is a reason to stop, even if the price looks low.
Pin the price type in writing. Ask whether the estimate is binding or not-to-exceed, and keep the line items where you can reread them. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver once you pay 110 percent of the estimate. The 110 percent rule is the short version of that duty. Put the delivery window on the order for service before any deposit leaves your account.
Deposits need their own terms. Write down how much is due, when it is due, and what happens if you cancel. A deposit is not the same thing as the 110 percent payment at delivery. If the order is silent on refunds, ask before you send money. The window, the estimate type, and the USDOT number should all sit on the same paperwork.

- The median reported price is $3,800, from 122 priced reviews out of 122. The middle half of those prices runs from $2,250 to $5,488. The reports mix home sizes and distances, so the median is not a bid for your load.
- How often do reviews mention damage or a delay?
