MOVING TIPS
Packing Day
You should accompany the crew leader on a visual inspection of your home and provide any special instructions. Point out items not to be packed, items valued over $100 per pound (see Articles of Extraordinary Value), fragile items, items that need to arrive first, and items that need servicing (such as washers and dryers).
You may choose to pack some or all boxes yourself. However, movers are not liable for any damages to items you pack unless there is external damage to the box and an inspection is done at delivery. If a box you pack is lost and listed on an inventory sheet, the mover may be liable. You will be charged for packing materials used or provided by the mover.
Once packing is completed, you and the crew leader should conduct another visual inspection of your home to make sure all required items have been packed. Check closets, attics, basements, cabinets, detached buildings, and other areas of the property to ensure that nothing has been missed. Make sure all boxes are properly marked with room placement and general contents to help inform the crew where the boxes should be delivered within your new residence.
Loading Day
Either you or your representative should be present at the time of loading and unloading. The mover might perform a detailed inventory of some or all items. If so, review the inventory sheets to make sure you agree with the mover’s assessment of the condition of your items.
​
Once loading has been completed, you and the driver should walk through the house to make sure all items are on the truck. Check closets, attics, basements, cabinets, detached buildings, and other areas of the property to ensure that nothing has been missed.
​
You are responsible for preparing your appliances for shipment. Alternatively, your appliances may be serviced (disconnected and prepared for shipment) by a third-party company or the moving company for a further charge. Furniture pads, covers, and other standard protective materials which are part of the mover’s regular equipment are included in the transportation rates.
MAKE SURE YOUR MOVER HAS YOUR CORRECT DESTINATION ADDRESS, DETAILED DIRECTIONS TO FIND YOUR NEW RESIDENCE, AND CONTACT INFORMATION INCLUDING COMPLETE NAMES AND PHONE NUMBERS.
Delivery Day
You should walk through the new residence with the driver to determine the best way to unload and place your possessions. The crew will assemble all items that they disassembled at origin. They will not assemble items disassembled by others. Appliances will be serviced by the same party that serviced them at origin. Remember, servicing appliances may result in additional charges.
