Tips For Using Moving Companies From North America Transfer

By Ryan Karn

Planning is crucial when it comes to moving. Moving companies can provide everything from packing materials to safe driving and unpacking. All your needs can be met when using moving companies, including all the small details.

Your move cost will be calculated by the size of your move, the distance based on the point of origin and destination and if there are any special needs. North America Transfer offers packing and unpacking services, storage and help with your car transport.

An estimate is to furnish you with an approximate cost of your move. North America Transfer will go over packing services, valuation, your move schedule and any special needs you might have. When you have set the day to move notify your sales rep immediately to schedule your desired pick up and delivery dates. The last week of a month and the period from May through September are extremely busy, and advance notice is recommended.

Moving companies usually require a deposit, before the move. Then you can pay the balance at the time of delivery. You will want to check with your moving company to see what forms of payment are excepted for the balance on the delivery date.

You will be presented by the driver your Bill of Lading. This document authorized the carrier to move your goods. A Household Goods Descriptive Inventory is required to be done by your driver. This includes a brief note of your goods' condition. You need to sign the inventory. Should you have additional services needed, the Additional Services Preformed Origin/Destination Service and Delivery report will also be completed by the driver and signed by you.

During the unloading process you will need to check the items on your inventory sheet to make sure everything has been delivered. Another useful tip, is to know beforehand where you want everything to go, this makes for an easier unload process. Usually movers are only required to place your furniture one time. The movers will usually place contents of boxes on counters or tables, you may request they remove materials and containers when they are finished. Remember usually unpacking is not included in a quote so you would have to request it special from your sales representative.

Accidents and mistakes do happen sometimes there are items that can be lost or damaged. If this happens to you, make sure you unpack completely and make a list of any lost or damaged goods. On the Bill of Lading there usually is a number that you would use when you call the moving companies Customer Service Department. You usually have a couple of months from the delivery date to file a claim. It is suggested though that you file as soon as possible. - 21396
