General Tips
- Please don't make travel plans for packing, move out, move in
or unpacking day. Plan on being occupied with the service being
provided for the entire day.
- Keeps your telephone functioning through the planned loading
day. Likewise, try to have your new telephone installed and functioning
for move in day at your new (destination) residence. You or the
movers may need to communicate with the outside world.
- All personal items of high value such as jewelry, coins, prescriptions,
etc... are best carried with you when traveling to your new residence.
- Remember; note missing or damaged items on the Household Goods
Descriptive Inventory upon delivery. Failure to do so could result
in denial of your claim!
- Remember that when filing a claim for missing or damaged items,
you will be required to substantiate any loss with a proof of
value and ownership. This can be accomplished in the form of cancelled
checks, sales receipts, a homeowner’s policy or appraisals.
- Never throw out an item that has been damaged! The van line's
appraiser or repair firm may want to inspect it and if you dispose
of a damaged item your claim may be denied due to the article
not being available for inspection.
- If you cannot be at your residence on the day of packing, loading,
unloading or unpacking; you will need to name an agent or representative
to act on your behalf and to supervise the movers, as the mover's
may have questions which will require immediate answers.
- You or your company has been provided with an estimate for the
cost of your move. Only the services detailed on this estimate
are approved. Any additional service that is required should be
approved by you or your company before it can be performed.
In order to get a rough estimate for what you will pay if you hire
a moving company, you will first need to estimate the weight of your
shipment by using one of the two weight guides below.

Quick Weight Guide #2
Every room in a normally furnished home has about 1000 LBS of belongings.
This is about 150 cubic feet. So, just count the number of rooms in
your home, multiply by 1000 to get the weight and divide by 6.5 to
get the volume. For example, 8 rooms x 1000 = 8000 LBS or 8000 LBS/6.5
= 1230 CF.
