MOVING DAY

Accompany the movers as they inventory your household goods and resolve any questions regarding the condition of materials being moved.
Carefully read the information on the estimate, order for service, bill of lading, inventory, and all other completed documents before you sign them.
Keep the bill of lading until your goods are delivered, the charges are paid, and any claims are settled. Before the moving van leaves, take one final look throughout the house to make certain nothing has been left behind.
Inform the driver and the moving company of where you can be reached during the move.
Give the driver directions to your new home.
