| Keep in mind that any items that are considered flammable are not going to be loaded by your Chris-Town 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. |

| If you are moving across country you may receive a Order (Bill of Lading) Number from your Chris-Town mover. This is the number used to identify and track your shipment. |

|
| You should receive a Bill of Lading from your Chris-Town mover. This is the receipt for your goods and the contract for their transportation. It is your responsibility to understand the bill of lading before you sign it. If you do not agree with something on the bill of lading, do not sign it until you are satisfied that it is correct. The bill of lading is an important document. Don't lose or misplace your copy. |
|
| If you decide to use a Chris-Town mover, make sure to clearly mark and set aside items you don't want loaded. This will remind you to tell the driver what not to load as you conduct your preload walkthrough. Make sure your important paperwork pertaining to the move doesn't get packed and shipped with your household goods. |
|
| It is important to point out special items to your Chris-Town mover. Set these items aside the day before the move. Then, once the mover arrives, point out items that are most special to you during the walkthrough. All your items will be handled professionally but take a moment to show them which ones need the most special care. Also, point out the boxes you would like to have unloaded first, if they are not going into storage. These boxes may include kitchen and bathroom items, or your children's toys. |
|
| If you are going to have friends or family help in the moving process, line these people up ahead of time, as people need time to 'fit' your moving day into their day. Have someone on standby, as people get sick. Have your Chris-Town movers ordered as far in advance as possible. |
