Short Moves Inc

Short Moves, a local moving company built by repeat and referral customers.
We did our first moving job February 23rd, 1990, an $84 flat rate job and we never looked back. We believe in the philosophy that if you treat people the way you want to be treated, it will come back to you. In 1991 we grew to 2 trucks, in 1992 we had 3 trucks, and at the end of 1995 we were running 6 trucks. By 2008-2009 the great recession started to affect our business, we were running 10 trucks full time and had 20 guys on our crew. Around that time a lot of our competitors could not keep up with the failing housing market and a lot of moving companies in our local areas went out of business or had to change their name. The biggest thing that kept us afloat was our consistent stream of repeat and referral customers. We also noticed that people began to downsize, so we started our own store called Consignment House. Now we help a lot of our customers by offering consignment service!

We have always been aware that if you try to grow too fast, you lose your ability to control quality. Our company policy is simple. Family comes first. Honesty is the best policy. Treat customers and employees with the dignity and respect they deserve. Always give the customer the benefit of the doubt.
In June of 2001 we purchased our 3,000 sq. ft office building and large truck lot. After our Consignment store became a success we outgrew that building right away and in 2017 we moved our consignment shop to a new 14,000 square foot building, which is also home to the Short Moves headquarters. We have proudly been serving the west central Florida area for nearly 30 years, you never have to worry about where our truck is coming from or going to after your move, we do such a large volume of moves that we have crews in your area all the time. We provide excellent service and attention to detail on every move. We guarantee our customers a great crew with a good attitude and a fast work pace. Once your move is complete we want to have done such a great job that you would tell your friends and neighbors to use us. Our quality of service remains consistent as you can see in our Customer Comment cards!. We have also maintained an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau the entire time we have been in business.
