Standard LTL freight transit on the Miami to New York corridor runs 7 to 14 business days, depending on consolidation schedules and pickup timing. Expedited options are available if you need a tighter window. Most customers plan for the standard window to keep costs lower.

We ship furniture, mattresses, art, electronics, antiques, boxed household goods, and partial household contents up to 2,000 lbs. We do not ship hazardous materials, perishables, firearms, or live plants. If you’re unsure about a specific item, give us a call before booking.

Yes, professional packing is included on every Miami to New York shipment. Our crew arrives with boxes, blankets, shrink wrap, and crating materials to prepare your items for the long East Coast haul. This is especially important for art, electronics, and designer pieces sensitive to humidity and temperature swings.

Standard valuation coverage is included with every move, and additional coverage options are available for high-value items like artwork, antiques, and electronics. We recommend reviewing coverage levels at the time of booking, especially for collections or designer furniture. Our team will walk you through the options before you confirm.

Yes, our New York partners regularly deliver to apartments, walk-ups, brownstones, and co-ops across all five boroughs. Some buildings require certificates of insurance or scheduled elevator times, and we coordinate that paperwork ahead of delivery. Just let us know the building details when booking.

You or an authorized representative needs to be present at both pickup and delivery to sign for the shipment and direct placement of items. If you can’t be there, a friend, family member, or building staff member can stand in with prior authorization. We’ll confirm the arrangement before the truck arrives.

We use moisture-resistant wrapping for wood furniture, sealed boxes for electronics, and climate-aware packing techniques developed over our years on this corridor. Items are shrink-wrapped and blanket-padded before loading to minimize exposure during transit. Summer moves get extra attention to humidity-sensitive pieces.

For loads under 2,000 lbs, small load LTL freight through Ship Smart is typically the most cost-effective option compared to renting a truck or hiring a full-service van line. Parcel carriers can’t handle furniture, and full-truck movers charge for space you won’t use. Our weight-based pricing closes that gap.
