| First impressions really do count. Judge your Missouri apartment mover on their professionalism, attention to detail and responsiveness to your inquiries. Also make sure they give a thorough explanation of their pricing and process. For example, if the estimate is binding or non-binding. These things can tell you a lot about the company philosophy and how comfortable you'll be in working with them. |

| Before the Missouri mover leaves, make sure you understand all the paperwork before the driver departs for your new apartment. If there is something that is confusing to you, ask your driver to explain it before you sign it. |

| If you decide to use a Missouri 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. |
|
| You should receive a Bill of Lading from your Missouri 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. |

| When the Missouri movers come out to pack you will notice a person with a clipboard and several sheets of paper documenting your things. Ask to see these documents and check them carefully, you will notice that it will have a place to mark damages that already exist. Once you have signed you have no recourse. |
