Packing Tips
- Pack appropriate items only in appropriately sized cartons.
- Pack one room at a time, labeling each box with a description of its contents and its destination (e.g., kitchen, bathroom). Be as specific as you can. It will make unpacking that much easier.
- Pack all items that will not be needed or used before the day of the move first.
- Do not skimp on wrapping material. Blank newsprint and bubble wrap are essential. When wrapping china, do not use newspaper because newspaper ink tends to bleed.
- Double-box fragile items and add plenty of cushioning.
- Small boxes should contain books, magazines, videocassettes, CDs, audiocassettes, and canned goods. These items make for a very heavy box if a large box is used.
- Medium boxes should contain shoes, linen, small electronics, small TVs, small lamps, lampshades, small pictures, small appliances, pots, pans, and clothes.
- Large boxes should contain sofa cushions, pillows, blankets, comforters, large lampshades, large lamps, and small plastic toys.

Great job! I contacted Marty at Sunbelt movers late Saturday afternoon after another company bailed on the job! I was all packed and no movers! Marty was at my home within thirty minutes after I called to do an on-site estimate. He offered a reasonable flat rate and had his crew at my home the following morning! The crew was excellent! They were professional, timely and efficient the entire time. All (and we had a lot) of my things were taken care of from start to finish. The crew was upbeat and friendly and we enjoyed working with them. I highly recommend and will use them again for any moving needs!!

After calling almost every moving company in Gainesville to get estimates, we selected Sunbelt. Customer Service was top notch! To give us an even more accurate estimate, Marty came out to our house and walked through. He told us way that we could cut down some of the moving time and gave us a price that was extremely reasonable. Also, there are no hidden fees. On moving day, the team of movers (4 men) were very personable and worked very efficiently. They took great care with moving every single piece of furniture and even moved our upright piano! I would recommend this company to anyone who is moving. After everything was completed we came in way under the original estimate because of the team work and efficiency. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

I am very pleased with my experience during a recent move. The employees were friendly and very resourceful when moving the heavier/difficult items. I will be moving my furniture from storage soon and will definitely use the team again!

If you're looking for a moving company that's trustworthy, professional, and efficient Sunbelt Moving is the one! We had a major move (4 bdr/3 bth) house from Florida to Tennessee and Marty's crew, headed by David and Gary, was exceptional. They treated every piece of our furniture with the utmost care. We have a lot of wooden furniture and there wasn't a single bit of damage on anything due to their painstaking wrapping for protection. "Tiny" also did an excellent job of wrapping and packing all our fragile items. We have had several big moves but this one, by far, was the least stressful and that was due to the efficiency and professionalism of Sunbelt Moving.

The two men who moved our piano and organ were the best. Great conversationalist and knew exactly what to do to move the objects without problems. Very timely. Great!

The movers did a great job when we moved from Clearwater. The men were very efficient, polite & hard working. The move went smoothly including an additional drop off in Clearwater. The estimate Marty gave us was accurate & we couldn't have asked for a better move. We would definitely use them with any future moves.

An incredible company! Purchased a 72 inch TV console from Sam's Club. Initially they said they would deliver but that fell through. I contacted Sunbelt because of the great reviews. Marty was fantastic! In an hour we met his truck/driver and now have a beautiful console in our family room. Awesome experience! Recommend them highly.
