| Make sure you provide the Lowndes County Area mover with your destination contact information. Take down any information the driver can provide such as his cell phone, pager and satellite tracking information. Ask the driver if your shipment is the last he/she will be loading. Find out when the last shipment goes onto the trailer. This will give you an indication as to when they will be departing for your new home. Ask the driver about his/her plans for delivering your items. Find out as many details as you can prior to the driver leaving your residence. |
|
| When taking inventory please make an estimate of value to tell your Lowndes County Area mover. A Valuation is the degree of "worth" of the shipment. The valuation charge compensates the mover for assuming a greater degree of liability than that provided for in the base transportation charges. |
|
| Your Lowndes County Area mover will have you sign an Order for Service. This is the document authorizing the mover to transport your household goods. |
|
| Ask your Lowndes County Area mover if your things are going to be the only ones on the moving van. There are times that the moving companies put two or three families together that are going to the same destination. It might cost more to have the van all to yourself, but it’s worth it. You minimize the chances of getting other peoples things and loosing yours. |
|
| Getting your move completed by a Lowndes County Area mover by a set date is Expedited Service. Exedites services is an agreement with the mover to perform transportation by a set date in exchange for charges based on a higher minimum weight. |
|
| First impressions really do count. Judge your Lowndes County Area apartment mover on their professionalism, attention to detail and responsiveness to your inquiries.

These things can tell you a lot about the company philosophy and how comfortable you'll be in working with them. |
