Moving Tips:-

Before moving:
» Items you don’t need anymore, don’t take them with you.
» Keep the valuable items such as jewelry, money, coin collections, etc in your possession only.
» Confirm dates and services to be performed with your move coordinator
» Make a list of all the items you want to move
» Make a list of items that will need special handling such as glass table tops, marble tops, heavy mirrors or pictures
» Mark each box with its contents and destination room

During Loading and Delivery:
» At the time of loading, check the entire house to ensure nothing was left behind. Before signing the inventory list of the transport service provider compare it with your own list.
» At unloading, make sure to check off each item as it is delivered. Report all the loss and damage to the service provider within their specified time. Tour the new residence before the driver leaves to ensure everything is in the right place.
» Ask the Driver to assemble anything that has been disassembled and ensure that all parts are there.
