Questions
What factors determine moving costs?
Cost depends on move distance, shipment volume, required services (packing, storage), specialty items, and destination-specific regulations.
Should I hire professionals or DIY?
Professional movers provide equipment, expertise, and insurance benefits. DIY works for small moves where you can manage logistics independently.
When should I book services?
Book at least 4-6 weeks in advance, especially during peak seasons (May-September) to ensure availability and better pricing options.
How should I pack for a move?
Use quality materials, label boxes by room/contents, photograph valuable items, and keep essentials accessible. Consider professional packing for fragile items.
Do you handle international customs?
Yes, our team manages customs documentation and compliance, though clients remain responsible for country-specific import requirements.

DO NOT USE. They are overpriced, unprofessional and unreliable. They do not treat your belongings with any care at all. When you call them and complain, Eyal gets condescending and unprofessional. My plastic totes arrived mangled, along with my desk, bed frame, and file cabinet. Brought a day laborer to unload, he broke the filing cabinet wheel and tried to hide it. Not what I paid $6400.00 for.

Forward Van Lines exceeded my expectations! It was a small move from North Miami to Fort Lauderdale for my son. He was moving from a 1 to a 2 bedroom apartment so it wasnt a huge move, but everything was first rate. Every promise was met and they even came in under their time estimate and refunded me around 10%!
Bryan took my info and quickly and efficiently provided me an estimate that was very reasonable. He took my deposit and set the date and time immediately. The movers arrived on time and were fast, cautious, organized, and professional. Dareus, Demetrius, and Tony provided a quick overview

These guys were wonderful! They helped us out in a pinch when another moving company backed out on us. They worked hard, fast, and took care of all of our furniture. We had to move some stuff to an apartment and the rest to a storage unit. They pulled it off without a hitch. I am definitely hiring them again when we move again.
