PACKING GUIDE

The process of relocating can be a stressful one with major changes in your life and that of your families. Therefore, we have a listed a number of things for you to consider when planning your move.

Basic Guidelines:

1. Label each box with your name and job reference number.
2. Use sturdy boxes, preferably those provided by your mover.
3. When packing breakables, leave a 2-4 inch layer of crumpled paper at the bottom, sides and top of the box.
4. When packing a box, place heavier items on the bottom, less heavy and lightest on top.

China and Classware:

1. Use china boxes, and unprinted newspaper.
2. Plates and saucers: Wrap each piece separately in unprinted newspaper. Place them in the box standing on edge in the box.
3. Bowls: wrap individually, stack 4-2 together, wrap all again and place then standing on edge in the box.
4. Cups and Glassware: Wrap cup handles in paper, then wrap entire cup. Place them in box with all handles pointing in the same direction. Wrap everyday glasses individually.
5. Stemware: Use white packing paper. Use china or liquor box with dividers. Wrap each glass individually, stand on rim in box.

Other Items:

1. Books: pack books standing on bottom edge in book boxes.
2. Clothing: Wardrobe boxes can be used for handling clothing. Other clothing, blankets and linens can be folded and packed in linen boxes. We recommend emptying all dressers and chests as the added weight can make them difficult to move susceptible to damage.
3. Pots and Pans: Use china boxes; stack them together with a few pieces of paper in between them. Fill all empty spaces with newspaper.
4. Lamps and Lampshades: Remove shades and bulbs. Wrap lamps in layers of paper and place in box on base. Wrap lampshades lightly in paper, nest one inside the other, and pack in separate box.
5. Electronic Equipment: Wrap theses items heavily in bubble wrap and place in box (ideally in the original boxes). Place bubble wrap at bottom and sides to prevent movement.
6. Paintings, Mirrors, and Glass: Use picture boxes and bubble wrap. Valuable pieces may need to be professionally crated by us.

Welcome to Miami Movers!

A local move is any move that begins and ends within a radius of approximately 50 miles. It can be within a single state or between two states. In order for a moving company to perform a move within a state the mover must be licensed by the State Department of Transportation. For a move between two different states, the mover needs to be licensed by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Nobel Van Lines is one of the movers that is licensed by the state of Florida to perform intrastate moves (Fla. Mover Registration No. IM1204) and as well as by the U.S. DOT for all interstate moves (ICC MC-513792). It is important when choosing a mover to verify that the mover is licensed within the state you are moving. If your mover is licensed, it will mean that your mover has filed his workman's compensation, liability, & cargo insurance information with the state authorities.

PRICING - Moving services can be very costly. Regardless of the cost of your move, it is very important to us that you understand what you are paying for. In a normal move, the charges will be broken into 4 different components as follows;
Labor - the labor is the price you are paying for each mover for each hour that work is being done. The hours are broken into 15 minute increments.

Travel time – On every local move there will be a charge of a 1 hour return travel time. Nobel Van Lines do not charge for the time to drive from our facility to your house.
Packing materials - In order to perform your move in a professional manner, specific materials are needed to protect your household goods during handling and transport. We charge only for cardboard boxes used during the move. We do not charge for padded moving blankets used to protect your furniture, tape or bubble wrap. These packing supplies are free unless provided to the customer in advance.

Insurance - Movers are required to "cover" your belongings at no additional charge "up to 60 cents per pound." This means, if you have a lamp that weighs ten pounds, you are entitled to no more than $6.00, regardless of the true value of the piece. Additional valuation must be charged for , and is determined by the value of your goods. If you wish to be paid depreciated value for lost or damaged items, you must declare a lump sum value for the entire shipment, and pay an extra charge.
