Label All Items
Moving is a many time event for many people. Most who do this know the importance of labeling boxes. To ensure proper placement of everything by the movers or even if its yourself with moving pods, follow these simple labeling tips to minimize any confusion.
- Write FRAGILE on anything breakable in large print.
- Write the contents of the box on two sides and the box top.
- Write the room and contents on every carton.
- Write TOP on anything needing to stand upright.
- Write on the box, not the tape, using black marker.
Contracts and Estimates
The movers who arrive at the job may not be the people who provided the time frame and moving estimated cost. Problems can arise during the move. If you are familiar with the estimate and the contract, you can eliminate possible confusion about extra costs and hassles.
- What are the fees for extra time and labor?
- What about unseen problems or situations?
- Do you have the paperwork with you?
Using Time Wisely
Both your time and the mover's time are valuable and avoiding any delays by understanding the policies and scheduling helps keep time wasted to a minimum.
Moving from one place to another can be free of complications and hassles. Give moving pods a thought and make sure all your moving estimates are in writing. If you follow the suggestions listed your move can be a controlled and simple one.
