What every mover should know before booking?
Here at Good Greek Moving & Storage, we get a lot of questions thanks to our years of experience handling residential moves and commercial moves across Florida. Part of our job is to educate clients on what to expect before, during, and after a move, so your relocation is as stress-free as possible. Below are the moving questions we hear most often.
Moving and Storage Questions: Key Takeaways
- Good Greek gives free in-person evaluations and written estimates — the written price is what you plan around, with no moving-day surprises.
- No brokering: Good Greek runs its own trucks and employs its own movers (background-checked and drug-tested), is fully licensed and insured, and never outsources your move.
- Full-service options cover packing, climate-controlled storage, fragile and artwork handling, out-of-state moves, and third-party insurance for full-value coverage.
Moving cost and estimate questions
Reputable movers quote before the job, not after. Here’s how Good Greek prices your move.
1.How much will my move cost?
Reputable movers shouldn’t “guess” at the cost and then hand you a surprise bill on moving day. At Good Greek, we send a moving professional to your home for a free, in-person evaluation, then provide a written estimate so you can plan your move accurately.
2.Do moving costs change on moving day?
No. The written estimate we provide is your planning price — there are no “moving day surprises” when you work with Good Greek Moving & Storage.
3.Licensing, insurance, and who handles your move
Know who’s actually moving your belongings — and how they’re protected.
4.Does Good Greek broker out moves?
Many moving companies act as brokers, selling your job to another company that performs the move — which often leads to inconsistent service and unexpected issues. Good Greek does it differently: we operate our own trucks, employ our own professional movers, and manage your relocation directly. No middlemen, no outsourcing — one trusted team from start to finish.
5.Are you licensed, insured, and are the movers your employees?
Yes. Good Greek Moving & Storage is fully licensed and insured, and all our movers are Good Greek employees who have passed full background checks and drug testing.
6.Do I need insurance for my move?
All licensed movers must offer standard insurance at no cost. That coverage is based on weight, not value, and is meant to cover nicks and scratches rather than replace items. For full-value protection, a quality mover will offer third-party insurance and give you the information you need to arrange it.
Services, storage, and long-distance moves questions
From packing to climate-controlled storage and out-of-state hauls — what full-service really means.
1.Do you handle out-of-state moves and offer storage?
Yes. Good Greek is a full-service relocation company, moving individuals and businesses locally throughout South Florida, anywhere within Florida, and across the country on long-distance hauls. We also offer temporary space in a brand-new, climate-controlled, secure storage facility when clients need it.
2.Do I want a full-service mover?
It can make your move much smoother. A full-service mover handles packing, unpacking, disassembly and reassembly of light furniture (like beds), safe transportation throughout Florida and the U.S., and storage if required.
3.Do I need to pack everything myself, and can movers handle artwork?
No — Good Greek offers packing services when you need them. And yes, we have experience moving fragile items, including expensive artwork.
Avoiding scams and preparing for moving day
A little research and prep protects your wallet and your move.
1.How do I avoid moving scams?
Scams are a problem across Florida and the country. Whether you hire Good Greek or not, always research a moving company thoroughly — focus on estimated pricing, third-party insurance availability, and proper licensing, and check online reviews for their reputation as a quality mover.
2.What should I do before and on moving day?
A few smart pre-move steps go a long way:
- Purge items you don’t want to move
- Donate food so you don’t pay to move things that may spoil
- If packing yourself, finish before movers arrive and stage boxes centrally
- Clear a path from your home to the truck
- List any items that need disassembly before transport
On moving day, remember some items travel best with you — like pets and plants. At your destination, know where you want boxes and furniture placed before the movers arrive to keep the move efficient.
Should I tip my movers?
Tipping your movers is never required, but it’s always appreciated.
