| 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 Crossroads Region movers ordered as far in advance as possible. |
|
| Keep in mind that any items that are considered flammable are not going to be loaded by your Crossroads Region 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. |
|
| It is important to point out special items to your Crossroads Region 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. |
|
| When taking inventory please make an estimate of value to tell your Crossroads Region 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. |
|
| In some cases a Crossroads Region mover may speak with you about Accessorial (Additional) Services. These are services such as packing, appliance servicing or unpacking that you request to be performed (or are necessary because of landlord requirements or other special circumstances). Charges for these services are in addition to the transportation charges. |
|
| Traveling across country? Your Crossroads Region call this a Long Carry. A Long Carry charge is an added charge for carrying articles excessive distances between the mover's vehicle and your residence. |
|
| The Crossroads Region mover is known as the Carrier. A carrier is just a term signifying the mover providing transportation of your household goods. |
