Movers in Jacksonville, FL

“Local moving companies in Jacksonville charge an average of $70-$80 per hour per mover… [with the total price] depending on the number and type of items, the time of the move, the specifics of the area, and the provided services,” according to MoveAdvisor. Long-distance moves, on the other hand, “can cost anywhere from $3,800 to $11,500 based on the weight of the shipment, the required services, and the distance between the origin and destination locations.”

Ravan Moving & Storage provides moving quotes that are completely customized to your situation, taking every detail into consideration. “Our goal is to help you plan your move with absolute confidence, knowing you’re paying for exactly what you need and nothing more,” states Colby Ravan, our Vice President.

Beyond standard labor and transportation, many moving companies in Jacksonville offer:

• Full-service or partial packing
• Storage options
• Furniture disassembly and reassembly
• Specialty handling for bulky or fragile items
• Decluttering services

We offer all of the above at Ravan Moving & Storage. Our short and long-term storage solutions include a 20,000 sq. ft. warehouse and portable storage containers, and we also offer special handling for high-value items such as antiques and interior design inventory.

Specialty items are bulky, fragile, or high-value and require more care to safely move than standard household items. Movers in Jacksonville, FL that are qualified to handle these items should do so with reliable equipment like moving dollies, lifting straps, and rollers. If a moving company offers packing services for specialty items, they should use high-quality materials to ensure proper protection.

At Ravan Moving & Storage, our teams are trained to pack and handle a wide range of specialty items. “We use professional packing materials, dependable equipment, and industry-standard methods for loading, unloading, and packing to provide consistent protection that you can count on,” states our Vice President, Colby Ravan.

If you find that any items have been damaged or lost during your Jacksonville move, contact your moving company as soon as possible to start your claim. While federal law allows up to nine months from delivery to submit a claim, sooner is better for a smoother process. Your reimbursement amount will be calculated based on the protection level you chose on your Order of Service:

• Released Value Protection: While this coverage level adds no extra cost, the reimbursement is minimal at $0.60 per pound per item.
• Full Value Protection: This coverage is well worth the extra fee, ensuring replacement, repair, or reimbursement at the current market value of all items in your shipment.

We are a certified ProMover with the Moving & Storage Conference and the American Trucking Association, meaning we provide all coverage options according to federal law. Colby Ravan, our Vice President, assures, “While the need for a claim is rare, we are happy to take accountability and assist, however needed, in the unfortunate event of damaged or lost goods.”
