“The moving day started with an unexpected delay, and the crew arrived well after the agreed time. By then, our schedule was already affected and everything felt rushed. The loading itself was not very organized, and we had to wait several times for the team to finish different parts of the job.…”
5 of 5 · 17 Sept 2026 · reported $4,288
“There was a three-man team with a two-hour requirement, which was perfect for us. They unloaded our things from the U-Haul and reassembled our furniture so we could use it that evening. I would highly recommend them. Thanks guys so much.”
5 of 5 · 15 Sept 2026 · reported $5,370
“Absolutely the best movers we've ever used. Professional and responsible, very nice! We moved furniture out of state and we were able to communicate with Sammy the entire time. Once the furniture arrived they were extremely patient with placing items and/or moving them to another spot.”
What went wrong on this run: of 106 reviews, 27% mention damage and 21% a delay or a no-show. Reviewer-reported, counted by phrase.
Who makes this move
ACS 2024 counts 28,080 people who moved from Florida to New York, margin plus or minus 4,963.
The Census count runs smaller northbound. ACS 2024 counts 28,080 people who moved from Florida to New York, margin plus or minus 4,963. In the other direction, 50,661 people moved from New York to Florida. Both figures are people who changed states, and the survey stops there.
Living costs and wage tax differ at the two ends. BEA price parity for 2024, with the US at 100, is 103.4 in Florida and 107.9 in New York. Florida does not tax wages. New York taxes wages. The parity gap is a cost fact for the household budget once the boxes are in the new place.
What the job looks like
Of those reviews, 27% mention damage and 21% mention a delay or a no-show.
The common run is Miami to New York. It covers 1,278 miles and about 24 hours of driving, so the days on the road follow that drive time rather than a same day drop. The load is priced by weight and miles. A small apartment and a full house will not share a bill. Delivery is a window set on the order for service.
Reported prices sit in a wide middle. Our file holds 106 reviews for this run. The median reported price is $3,410 across 106 priced reviews, and the middle half runs from $2,300 to $4,700. Those prices mix home sizes and distances. Read them as a band, then price your own weight.
Damage and delay reports are common on this file. Of those reviews, 27% mention damage and 21% mention a delay or a no-show. Neither figure says your shipment will fail. It does say the delivery window belongs in writing before pickup day. Photograph the furniture and keep the inventory with the order.
Before you book
On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver once you pay 110 percent of the estimate.
Check USDOT and household goods authority first. An interstate household move needs a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household goods authority. Confirm both before any deposit. Haulest is not a carrier and does not replace that check. The license lookup shows whether that authority is active.
Know if the estimate binds the price. Ask for a binding estimate or a not-to-exceed estimate. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver once you pay 110 percent of the estimate. The 110 percent rule spells out that payment duty, and how to read an estimate helps you spot a soft number.
Write down the delivery window and the deposit. The window is part of the order for service. A date said over the phone is easy to lose if the truck slips. Deposit terms should name the amount, the timing, and what a cancellation does to that money. Blank lines are a reason to pause.

Ask out loud
Questions people ask
- How many people moved from Florida to New York?
- ACS 2024 counts 28,080 people who moved from Florida to New York, with a margin of plus or minus 4,963. The reverse flow was 50,661 people moving from New York to Florida. The Census figure is a headcount, and it does not give a motive.
- What do reviews report for price on this lane?
- The median reported price is $3,410 across 106 priced reviews in a file of 106 reviews. The middle half runs from $2,300 to $4,700. Those prices mix home sizes and distances, so the median is a marker for the lane, not a bid for your home.
- How far is the usual Florida to New York shipment?
- The most common run in our file is Miami to New York, at 1,278 miles and about 24 hours of driving. Delivery is a window set on the order for service. The price follows weight and miles, not a flat city-to-city fee.
- How often do reviews on this run mention damage or delay?
- Of the reviews in our file, 27% mention damage and 21% mention a delay or a no-show. That is a share of 106 reviews, not a forecast for one household. Keep the inventory and the delivery window in writing.
- What should I confirm before I book?
- The mover needs an active USDOT number and FMCSA household goods authority. Ask for a binding or not-to-exceed estimate, and remember that on a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver once you pay 110 percent of the estimate. Get the delivery window and the deposit terms on the order before you pay.
