Frequently Asked Questions
When should I book my Miami move?
To secure your preferred date (especially during busy periods like month-end or high-tourism seasons) we recommend scheduling your move 4–6 weeks in advance. This gives us time to develop a custom move plan and reserve any necessary building access or permits. For long-distance or complex moves, booking earlier is ideal.
Do you offer packing services and supplies?
Yes! We provide full and partial packing options tailored to your needs. Our full-service option includes professional wrapping, boxing, and inventory using eco-conscious materials. Prefer a DIY approach? Choose our partial service, and we’ll handle only the items you select, such as fragile pieces or valuables. We also supply durable moving boxes, wardrobe containers and protective wraps for those packing independently.
Are there any items you won’t move?
Yes, for safety and legal reasons. We cannot transport hazardous or flammable materials such as:
- Propane tanks
- Gasoline
- Fireworks
- Paint thinners
- Ammunition
We also recommend you personally transport perishable food, cash, essential documents, plants and irreplaceable valuables to ensure their safety.
How do you keep my belongings secure?
Your items are treated with the utmost care. We use professional-grade moving blankets, shrink wrap and padding to protect all furniture and fragile items. Our trucks are organized to prevent shifting during transit, and each piece is labeled and tracked from pickup to delivery, giving you complete peace of mind.
How should I prepare for my move?
Smart preparation makes for a smooth moving day. Here’s what we recommend:
- Declutter and donate anything you don’t plan to bring.
- Clearly label boxes by room and contents.
- Pack a personal bag with essentials like medications, chargers and documents that you’ll need accessible during the move.
- If you’re in a high-rise or gated community, reserve elevators and parking in advance.
- Defrost refrigerators and disconnect appliances at least 24 hours prior.
- Review move-day details with your coordinator the day before.
Being organized allows our team to work efficiently and helps you enjoy a stress-free moving experience.
“We were thrilled with the job the guys at Big Johns did. When they first came to our apt and we gave them a sense of the job, Mike was already familiar with our new building and made us feel comfortable with the process. Come packing day, he and his team arrived right on time and packed our 2BR 2BA apt in about 3 hours… slightly ahead of schedule. The following day the arrived first thing to move us to our new place. They were quick, efficient and friendly and the price was very close to the final estimate they gave us. We would recommend them to any one very highly.”
“Big John’s Moving is the best in the business! I’ve moved many times in my life and Big John’s has been my preferred mover each and every time. This move was particularly stressful as I had several delivery points in the city as well as Maryland. From the estimator, to the office staff, to each and every crew member, I felt completely safe and secure knowing that every piece of my furniture, from the antique dresser to my every day dishes, were well taken care of. All the items made it to the delivery point with no damages because they made sure to wrap every piece with padded blankets. At the end of the move, I couldn’t be happier. Big John’s certainly transformed a potentially horrific moving experience into a pleasant one and I will continue to recommend them to all my friends and colleagues. Thank you, Big John’s!!”
“Big John’s Moving, Inc. what can we say? For once we got it right when choosing a moving company to haul our lives from NY to Houston! From beginning to end, I’ve never seen a more organized, professional, reasonably priced moving service in all my life. The estimator was great, their marketing portfolio, the office staff, the drivers, the trucks, the packing materials, the movers – same guys on both ends – not a scratch on anything, and we’re talking antique buffet table, a huge grandfather clock, expensive antique chair, breakable statues, tons of dishes and personal stuff – nothing was damaged, nothing was lost. They even warehoused our stuff between houses for almost a month for no additional charge!! They treated our belongings as if they owned them. These fellows have all been with Big John for 10 – 20 -30 yrs, no wonder he’s running such a tight operation. If you are moving local OR long distance – decide how important your stuff is, then call BIG JOHN. You will not be disappointed! THANK YOU BIG JOHN, YOU ARE THE BEST!”
