Germaine, Dietrick, Jean, and Izzy were amazing moving my dad today. They were careful and thorough and made it so my dad didn’t have to do anything.... Thank you so much for being so professional and for having such a positive attitude throughout a long day!!read more

I couldn’t be more impressed with the service. Eddie, Jermaine, Ronald, Coy, and Jonathan truly went above and beyond, especially with the custom... crates they made for my fragile items like an oversized mirror and aquarium(see photos). Their extra care and creativity in building these crates really set them apart from other movers I’ve used. Everything was packed with precision and handled so efficiently that the whole process felt seamless. I’ll definitely be using Cousins Moving for any future movesread more

Had multiple large glass table tops I needed moved and was worried about doing it myself so I spoke with Joe Jr and he laid out a plan to get them... there safely.

From Clem, the owner, to every man in the crew, the team was tops, delivering on every thing that was promised. They had the best price, did an... excellent packing job, and moved us out-and-in in the anticipated time frame. Heaven knows moving is stressful but Cousins eliminated 99% of the related headaches. We’d give them 6 stars but it wasn’t an option.read more

I hired Cousins USA after a friend’s referral, we are better friends now because of it. They called to say they were on their way, showed up early,... introduce themselves with a smile and a handshake, assessed items being moved and went into team mode. They wrapped and taped everything from the smallest item to my triple dresser like it was their own furniture. The delivery of the furniture to the new house was amazing, every piece of furniture and box was in the exact place where it belonged. If I had to move again it would be an absolute no brainer Cousin’s USA, ALL DAY !!! I will be paying it forward and recommend Cousins USA to everyone.read more

I'm giving Cousins a 4 instead of a 5 this year. Mr. Eddie was the leadman with Mr. Robinson and Jean. They were an hour late meeting me at the Extra... Space Storage. Mr. Eddie explained to me that he was not aware that he was supposed to be there at 8:00 am. However, once they got going, they worked efficiently and packed everything professionally. I had to end up helping them move the light things because it was necessary. They wrapped what needed to be wrapped with blankets that Penske provided. The crew shrink wrapped all of the items that were not wrapped with a blanket. I believe for three people, they worked as fast as they could. I had to end up helping them because it was necessary in order to help minimize the time. The person who took my original order misjudged how long it would take even though I explained to him everything that I had to have loaded onto my Penske moving truck. I should have had either 4 guys like I had the last time or set it for 5 hours. I have no problem paying or 5 hours had I known it would take that long when I first placed my order. Finding out you are going to be $180 over your budget the day of is not a happy feeling. I want to add that Mr. Eddie is a true professional. He works with a perfection mentality and he was careful with handling my furniture. The guys helping him followed his instructions and there was no issues between the three of them. Would I use Cousin's again if I ever needed to...the answer is yes, but they need to do a better job of calculating the entire job's overall price based on the logistics provided to them.read more

Cousins moving and storage was Fantastic! they moved a three bedroom house with the utmost care of our furniture and belongings. The price was very... very fair. The crew that did the move were very nice and accommodating. I have moved 12 times in my life and this by far was the bet move ever.

A Look at What Fort Lauderdale Offers

During the moving process, it can be easy to lose focus on the exciting parts of moving. Along with your new home you’ll have a new state to explore. To help you stay motivated on your move, here are our top 3 places to check out in Fort Lauderdale:

Disney World: Of course, the first place you have to go while living in Fort Lauderdale is Disney World. It’s not just one of the biggest attractions in Florida but it’s also one of the biggest attractions in the world! “The Happiest Place in the World” will teleport you to your favorite worlds including Frozen, Star Wars, and many more magical universes.
Clearwater Beach: It wouldn’t be Fort Lauderdale without beaches. This state has the most coastline of any continental U.S. state, which provides for a number of great beaches to check out. Our top recommendation is Clearwater. This white-sand beach is 3-miles of relaxing paradise. It was even named TripAdvisor’s #1 beach in 2018.
Any National Park: Okay, maybe this one could be considered cheating, but it’s impossible to choose just one! There are 11 National Parks residing in Fort Lauderdale, including everything from ecological preserves such as Timucuan, monuments like Castillo de San Marcos, and of course wetlands like the Everglades. Visit them all and decide which is your favorite!
