Dover sits about 966 miles north of Melbourne, which makes this an interstate relocation from Florida to Delaware that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $4,650 to $6,920 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 17 h 21 min.
On the Melbourne side there are 110 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (44 of them authorized for interstate work), and 143 around Dover (103 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Dover.
Melbourne has a population of about 86,000 and Dover about 40,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,916 and 1,654 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Delaware does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
