Damaged items
Your items are at risk of damage when packaged or handled incorrectly. It is crucial to raise all your concerns as soon as you can so it will be most likely covered by the insurance. Most insurance policies only accept claims for just a week after the move. Ask your moving company about their claims process.

Accidental damages to your property

If this is the case, make sure to do any repairs needed before selling your old home. When unloading and unpacking your stuff to your new home, make sure to do it with care to avoid any damage to your new property.

Problems in finding your new home
To avoid confusion during moving day, make sure the moving crew and everyone involved with the moving process have a sketch and complete details of your new home.

Potential problems on moving day
