Moving from Florida to Columbia, SC
Florida is Forward's hub — the company is based in Dania Beach and every move is coordinated from there. A move from Florida to South Carolina is planned as a long-distance job out of the hub, and moves within South Carolina, such as Charleston to Columbia, are available too.

Questions
Florida to Columbia, SC questions
Do you have a location in Georgia or the Carolinas?
Florida is where Forward is based and where every move is coordinated from. Georgia and the Carolinas are destinations we run long-distance moves to, and moves within those states are available too. Ask a coordinator about your specific route.
Who is handling my shipment between Florida and the destination?
It is one job under one coordinator, moving on Forward's own operating authority and insurance and against one inventory from load to delivery. Whether the crew at either end is employed by Forward directly or working under the Forward name, Forward is the company accountable for the shipment.
How do I know everything arrived?
Your shipment is inventoried as it goes on the truck, and you check it back against that same inventory at delivery before the crew signs off.
How long will my shipment be in transit?
Around 3–5 business days from pickup to delivery, whether the destination is Georgia, North Carolina or South Carolina. Your delivery window is confirmed in writing in your estimate and moving documents.
How is a long-distance move priced?
Primarily by shipment volume in cubic feet, the route and distance, and the services you add. A 30% deposit reserves the move, and the remaining payment terms are confirmed in your estimate.
What valuation or insurance coverage is included?
Both Full Value Protection and Released Value Protection options are offered. The option that applies to your move, and its terms, are confirmed in your moving documents.
