Know what day or specific time period that you would like to move, and be flexible. Use a video camera or take pictures to record any questionable condition of an object. Don't ship extremely valuable items such as stocks, bonds, jewelry, stamp and coin collections, professional papers and documents and items of sentimental value. These types of items should be hand carried as well as purchase receipts, pictures and appraisals. Know your weight entitlement.
Excess weight can cost a considerable amount of money.
Weight limitations for overseas areas can vary. You can check with your transportation office on your specific entitlement. Regardless of which branch of service arranges your move, you will get the entitlement and service authorized by your branch. Powers of Attorney need to be available when a designated agent is authorized to sign in your absence. Write down questions and bring them with you to your transportation appointment.
