Now that you've reached your destination, there are important things you need to do. These tips will help you adjust in your new home:
- Be sure to have your final payment ready for your moving company in the form of cashier's check, certified check, cash, or even credit card.
- When your moving crew arrives, take note of the condition of the boxes and contents. Keep the inventory, bill of lading, and read them carefully.
- Assign a couple of helpers to keep a certain task at hand. As your moving crew unload all your boxes, one person can check off items in the inventory and someone can lead the crew to the designated room. Remind them to be on the lookout for damages on the exterior of cartons or any missing goods.
- Have the driver sign the inventory before he leaves. This is crucial in validating an insurance claim.
- If you notice any damage in the box, don't unpack or unwrap it. Wait until the moving company representative come and inspect it.
- Get your tools ready for assembling furniture.
