Official Moving to Orlando Thread... aka, ASK THE LOCALS!

[Figgy1]

Lease is signed. We're moving to Windermere-adjacent Ocoee to be close to family. Would've preferred the greater Downtown Orlando area (but not downtown proper), but proximity to family won out.

With that out of the day, anyone have recommendations for movers?

Congratulations! No suggestion other than to suggest getting a few air tags and engraving your name on any valuables just for piece of mind

fair fair point. We've already started sending boxes of books and clothes to my aunt's house in Windermere. A 40lb box only costs $20 to ship via UPS to Orlando!

Several months later. The good and the bad on these movers.

The good: They were punctual, and came out UNDER budget. Also, every plant with brought arrived alive.

The bad: every single piece of furniture arrived with dents and dings.
