Choosing a Moving Company:
- Take into consideration not only the price, but the services included in the price
- Check the companies reputation via customer reviews
- Do a good share of research on your moving company before booking
Before Moving Day:
- Reserve a moving day with your moving company
- Make sure that pick-up and delivery dates are guaranteed by your moving company
- Make arrangements for transporting your pets and plants
- Call your moving company and confirm a few days prior to the move
- Get rid of anything you don’t want to bring along on your move
- Fill out a post office change of address form
- Fill out an IRS change of address form
- If you’re moving out of state, find out about auto licensing and registration
- Notify your child/children’s schools of the move, and have their records transferred
- Mark any items you may be transporting yourself “Do Not Move”
Packing:
If you want your packing to be insured, have our professionals do the packing for you. If you choose to do your own packing here are a few tips:
- You do not have to empty your dresser drawers, only remove valuables and breakables
- Leave your closets/hanging clothing until last, there are wardrobe boxes on the truck for rent at $5.00 each should you decide to use them
Utilities:
- Make arrangements to have all utilities shut off (gas, electric, cable etc.)
- Make arrangements to have all utilities turned on at your new home.
Moving Day:
- Each move is supervised directly by a Foreman (the driver). The Foreman is in charge of the other movers and is responsible for fulfilling the moving agreement in a professional and smooth manner. Refer to the Foreman with all remarks, questions and last minutes requests.
- Be sure to receive copies of the “Insurance Form” before the move is started
- Make sure the movers have directions to their destination
- While unloading, tell the movers the new location of every item. Many customers prepare a “Floor Plan,” prior to the move. If you have one, give a copy to the movers. Placing all furniture and boxes in their new location will save you valuable time and make your moving-in process smoother.
