Moving out of state from Florida
Finally taking the jump and moving from Orlando to Portland, Oregon next year. My cousin moved from Florida to Colorado and said insurance was a nightmare when one box got damaged. What's the real cost range for a long-distance move from Florida? How do I make sure my stuff is covered? Any logistics tips I should know before hiring anyone?

I did a similar long haul (FL → WA) and yeah, costs can swing a lot - mine landed around $4.5k with packing, but I saw quotes from $3k to $8k depending on volume and timing. Biggest lesson: don’t skip insurance - basic coverage is trash. I added full value protection after a friend had a TV wrecked with no payout. Also, inventory EVERYTHING with photos. I checked a few companies and found Orlando Express Movers Inc pretty transparent. Book early, avoid peak summer if you can, and confirm delivery windows in writing.
