Tips for Moving Makes it Easy
- You should be completely packed before your movers arrive (Do not pack the day of your move.)
- Our movers are all trained professionals who are fast and efficient, and if you are not prepared, we either will not be able to move you that day, and/or your move will require more time and will cost you more money.
- Make sure the van operator has the exact destination address. Be sure to let the van operator know how you can be reached, including phone numbers, pending the arrival of your household goods.
- Avoid waxing or oiling wooden antiques (and fine wood furniture) before moving because some products might soften the wood, making it vulnerable to imprinting from furniture pads.
- Do not clean your upholstered furniture before moving. Moisture could cause mold if furniture must be placed in storage.
- Discard propane tanks which are used for barbecue grills.
- Set an appointment with a service technician to prepare your major appliances for shipment-or have your agent send someone out who is authorized to perform this service.
- Set a date for having utilties disconnected. If possible, plan to keep utilties in service through moving day.
- Place a floor plan of your new home by the entrance, which the movers can use to determine where each piece of furniture should go.
- Keep all documents pertaining to your move in a safe place. You will need them for verification of moving expenses when you file your federal income tax returns.
- It is your responsibility to see that all of your goods are loaded, so remain on the premises until loading is complete. After making a final tour of the house, check and sign the inventory. Get your copy from the van operator.
- Collect all items that are being cleaned, stored, or repaired (clothing, furs, shoes, watches, etc.).
- Empty your locker at the club, bowling alley or gym.
- Return library books and anything borrowed from friends or neighboors, and collect things you may have loaned.
