So
you've packed up all your stuff, and the movers are coming. Here's some tips to
follow for your moving day.
General
Tips
- Please don't make travel plans for packing,
move out, move in or unpacking day. Plan on being occupied with the service
being provided for the entire day.
- Keep your telephone functioning through
the planned loading day. Likewise, try to have your new telephone installed
and functioning for move in day at your new (destination) residence. You
or the movers may need to communicate with the outside world.
- All personal items of high value such as
jewelry, coins, prescriptions, etc... are best carried with you when traveling
to your new residence.
- Remember; note missing or damaged items
on the Household Goods Descriptive Inventory upon delivery. Failure to do
so could result in denial of your claim!
- Remember that when filing a claim for missing
or damaged items, you will be required to substantiate any loss with a proof
of value and ownership. This can be accomplished in the form of cancelled
checks, sales receipts, a homeowners policy or appraisals.
- Never throw out an item that has been damaged!
The van line's appraiser or repair firm may want to inspect it and if you
dispose of a damaged item your claim may be denied due to the article not
being available for inspection.
- If you cannot be at your residence on the
day of packing, loading, unloading or unpacking; you will need to name an
agent or representative to act on your behalf and to supervise the movers,
as the mover's may have questions which will require immediate answers.
- You or your company has been provided
with an estimate for the cost of your move. Only the services detailed on
this estimate are approved. Any additional service that is required should
be approved by you or your company before it can be performed.
