FAQ
Yes. Shark Moving is operated by Shark Junior, LLC and is registered with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services as an intrastate mover, registration IM2478. We carry general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, commercial auto insurance on our trucks, motor truck cargo insurance of $25,000 per occurrence, and workers' compensation for our crews with $1,000,000 employer's liability. For your building we issue a certificate of insurance that names the association as an additional insured, with a waiver of subrogation when it asks.
Every move includes basic protection at no extra cost: we are liable for up to 60 cents per pound per item, the minimum Florida law sets (a 40-pound TV is covered up to $24). For more protection, we arrange full-value coverage through our insurance company for the value you declare. Its price comes as a quote from the insurer, which we get for you quickly, before moving day. Items our crew packs are covered either way; boxes you pack yourself are covered when the box itself was damaged in our care. Note any damage on the inventory at delivery, then email info@sharkmoving.com with photos and a list of the damaged items.
Yes, we offer both local and long-distance moving services to cater to your needs, whether you're relocating within the area or moving across a greater distance.
Certainly! We transport not only personal or household appliances but also items of high value such as antiques, valuables, production equipment, props, and more.
There are no restrictions on our collaboration. We provide services to both individuals and businesses. The only difference lies in the types of contracts and their terms.
Yes, we can provide you with an estimate over the phone based on the information you provide. However, for a more accurate assessment, an in-home visit might be necessary to ensure all details are considered.
Local moves are priced by the hour for the crew and the truck: $160 an hour for two movers, $220 for three, and $270 for four, with a 3-hour minimum. Travel time is free within about 10 miles of our Opa-locka or Hollywood location, otherwise a flat 1 hour at the same rate. After a phone call, a video call or an in-home visit you get a final written estimate, and it does not grow on moving day: if the job takes longer than planned, you still pay no more than the estimate, as long as your item list and the access at both addresses stay as described. No low quote that turns into a bigger bill once your things are on the truck.
Yes, we offer specialized packing services to ensure the safe transportation of fragile or valuable items.
No, we do not provide cleaning services for the old and new locations. Our focus is on ensuring a seamless and efficient moving process for your belongings.
No, we do not offer vehicle transportation services as part of our moving package.
Yes. We keep your belongings in our own climate-controlled, guarded warehouses — the main one in Opa-locka and a second one at 1916 N Dixie Highway in Hollywood — for as long as you need, priced by the number of sealed storage crates your items fill, and deliver them when your new place is ready.
We welcome a variety of payment options, which encompass Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, and credit card (with a 5% surcharge).
