| Ask your Winchester 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. |
|
| You may want your Winchester mover to perform Appliance Service. Appliance services is the preparation of major electrical appliances to make them safe for shipment. |
|
| It is important to point out special items to your Winchester 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. |

| Your Winchester mover will have you sign an Order for Service. This is the document authorizing the mover to transport your household goods. |
|
| If you are moving across country you may receive a Order (Bill of Lading) Number from your Winchester mover. This is the number used to identify and track your shipment. |
|
| In advance of the Winchester movers arrival, be sure to clear walkways. Make it safe and easy for your movers to get in and out of your house by removing all obstructions. |
|
| You should receive a Bill of Lading from your Winchester 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. |
