| Have a big screen tv or expensive vase. Your Phoenix Area mover may charge a fee for High Value Article. These are items included in a shipment that are valued at more than $100 per pound. These items should be disclosed to the mover to ensure they are protected accordingly. |
|
| Your Phoenix Area mover may discuss Advanced Charges: These charges are for services not performed by the mover but instead by a professional, craftsman or other third party at your request. The charges for these services are paid for by the mover and added to your bill of lading charges. |
|
| Phoenix Area movers will charge a Warehouse Handling fee if you have to use their temporary warehouse space. This is an additional charge applicable each time temporary space is provided. This charge compensates the mover for the physical placement and removal of items within the warehouse. |
|
| Keep in mind that any items that are considered flammable are not going to be loaded by your Phoenix Area movers. Understand what these items are so that you are not stuck with trying to get rid of them on day of loading. If you are uncertain what items can't be loaded, ask your estimator for a list. Because movers can't transport most household cleaners, they will be available for you to use throughout the day. Also remember to remove items from inaccessible areas like crawl spaces or attics. |
|
| Take one last sweep of the house before the Phoenix Area mover leaves. Look through all closets, shelves, in the garage, attic, crawl space, storage unit, under the stairs, on the walls and any place else things may be hiding. You do not want to find out, after the movers have left, that something was left behind. |
|
| If you have children, pack special items for the kids. Have the kids pack a box of their "special" items, things that they'll want to have nearby as soon as you all arrive at your new home. Point this box out to the Phoenix Area mover so it's one of the first boxes to be unloaded. |
|
| When moving plan ahead as much as possible. I do not mean the week ahead, but months in advance. Arrange for Phoenix Area movers and and help. Furthermore, take into consideration the time of the move. For instance, try not to move to the upper midwest during January and avoid the south in the middle of August. Just a little common sense. |
