Move-In Day

6 Weeks | 4-5 Weeks | 3 Weeks | 2 Weeks | 1 Week | Move-out Day

1. The van operator will contact you or the destination agent 24 hMoours prior to the expected arrival time.  This allows time to locate you and arrange for unloading.  If for some reason you cannot be reached, it is then your responsibility to contact the destination agent.

2. Be sure you're there when the movers arrive.  Plan to stay around while they unload in case they have any questions.  If you cannot be there personally, be sure to authorize an adult to be your representative to accept delivery and pay the charges for you.  Inform the destination agent of your chosen representative's name.  Your representative will be asked to note any change in the condition of the goods noted on the inventory at the time of loading, and to note any missing items at the time of delivery.

3. Have payment on hand for your moving charges.  Unless other billing arrangements were made in advance, payment is required upon delivery in cash, traveler's checks, money order or cashier's check.  Personal checks are not accepted.

4. Check to make sure the utilities have been connected, and follow up on any delays.

5. Make sure your phone is connected.  Ideally, you should have the phone company hook it up the day before "Move-In Day."

6. Confine your pets to an out-of-the-way room to help keep them from running away or getting agitated by all of the activity.
