Moving guide- Moving Day!

Moving out

� Keep all jewelry and cash away from your home on this day. The moving process is relatively fast and you may not be able to keep track of where you place them.

� It is recommended to get a baby sitter for your kids during the Packing / loading process.

� Put your pets in a room where they will not be in the way of the loading and unloading crews.

� "Work" with the movers and be on hand when they arrive. If you are not able to be present while the movers are there, designate a friend or family member to help out and make decisions in your absence. Let the movers know to whom you have given authority. Be sure your chosen representative knows exactly what to do. This person may be asked to sign documents.

� Stay home until the last item is packed. Make a “Final inspection” before the crew leaves. Check the inventory list and make sure you agree with any notations on it. Take pictures if necessary. It is your responsibility to see all of your goods are loaded. Leave your phone connected throughout moving day. After the movers leave, pack your phone in one of your suitcases for easy access when you arrive to your new home. (ask us about a transformer)

� Provide the new phone number and all other phone numbers where you can be reached while shipment is in transit. Make sure to take along the destination agent's name, address and telephone number.

� Clean your house as much as you can before the Container or the moving crew arrives. Search every room, closet and items around the house.

Moving in

� Provide mover with clear directions to your new home including all your phone numbers

� Review all paper work and details from the delivery agent. Accompany the team leader as he or she inspects each piece of furniture with identifying tag numbers. These numbers along with a detailed description of your goods will appear on the inventory list.

� Review your floor plan so you can tell the movers where to place your furniture and appliances. Make yourself available for the movers for instructions on where to place your furniture while unloading.

� If you cannot be at your home while your shipment is being unloaded, be sure to authorize a representative to accept delivery. Inform the destination agent of your representative’s name. Your representative will be asked to note any change in the condition of your goods noted on the inventory at the time of loading, and to note any missing items at the time of delivery.

� By signing the inventory sheet, you acknowledge the receipt of all items listed. Document any loss or damage on the inventory sheet and report this immediately to the crew and agent at destination, Make sure you have your reference number when calling the agent for questions or concerns. You will also be asked to sign the bill of lading.

� It is recommended to get a baby sitter for your kids during the unloading process.

� Put your pets in a room where they will not be in the way of the unloading process.

� Do not use your stereos, computers, televisions, other electronic devices and appliances for 24 hours after delivery to prevent possible damage. Allow them to adjust to room temperature.

� Verify that all utilities have been disconnected in your old home and connected in your new home. Have your phone connected a day before move-in day.
