How shipping from Florida to New York works
Florida to New York reverses the snowbird corridor, so pricing dynamics flip with the calendar. April through May is the busy northbound window when snowbirds head home; January through March is cheap because trucks are running south empty and want a backhaul. The route is straight I-95 from Miami, Naples, Orlando, Tampa, or Jacksonville up through the Carolinas, DC, and into the New York metro. Transit is 4–6 days. Pickups in Florida are almost universally door-to-door; delivery in the NYC metro often requires a meet-up spot outside Manhattan or dense Brooklyn neighborhoods.
