Read the Bill of Lading before you sign it. Tell your mover how to reach you at your destination. Keep in contact with the mover's agent at your destination while you are in transit. Delivery Generally, your belongings will be transported in a van along with those of other families who are moving in the same general direction, unless you ordered an exclusive move, or a private container for international shipping. This helps to keep your costs down.
Delivery is made on any of the several consecutive days agreed upon before the move began.
Make sure the mover knows how to contact you to schedule actual delivery. If you cannot be reached at destination, the mover may place your shipment in storage to avoid delaying other shipments. This can mean additional charges for storage and handling. Upon delivery, check your goods for damage. Do not sign the inventory until you have inspected your furniture and the exterior of the cartons.
