Mark boxes with the room in the new house in which they should be placed. If you choose to have movers pack your goods, this will be done before the actual moving day, usually one or two days prior. Make plans to be there to observe and provide direction. The more involved you are with your mover, the better the process is likely to go. Before the packers arrive, make sure you have set aside any personal items you will want to take with you, including medicines.
Delays can occur.
Before you sign the packing order, make sure all items you want moved are packed and that the carton count matches the pack order form. Determine that the dates for packing, loading and delivery are part of the contract and provided to you in writing before signing. Ascertain that all services you requested and require are on the estimate and contract. Provide your delivery address and phone numbers where you can be contacted at origin, enroute and destination. Check your homeowners insurance policy before moving to see if you are covered for damage or loss during a move a by professional moving company.
