| In some cases a Lafayette Parish 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. |
|
| Getting your move completed by a Lafayette Parish 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. |
|
| Moving during the summer tends to be more expensive. Your Lafayette Parish mover may charge you Peak Season Rates. These are Higher line haul charges that are applicable during the summer months. |
|
| Reserve a Parking Space for the Lafayette Parish movers truck. If you live in a congested area, recruit some friends and park all of your vehicles one after another in a space close to your home and do not move them until the truck arrives. The closer the truck can get to your house, the better your chances are of not incurring an additional charge. |
|
| 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 Lafayette Parish 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 Lafayette Parish 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 Lafayette Parish 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. |
