| Keep in mind that any items that are considered flammable are not going to be loaded by your Richlands 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. |
 |
| When taking inventory please make an estimate of value to tell your Richlands 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. |
 |
| Normally paying your Richlands mover will be done C.O.D., which stands for cash on delivery. Transportation for a private shipper may require C.O.D. at the time of delivery at the destination residence (or warehouse). |
 |
| A AMSA Certified Van Line is a Richlands mover that is an interstate carrier that transports your household goods shipment under its own authority, granted by the Federal Highway Administration, on a national basis. Van Lines use a network of agents throughout the country to provide the origin, destination and hauling services needed to accomplish your move. Like Certified Movers, AMSA Certified Van Lines subscribe to the AMSA Code of Conduct. |
 |
| If you are moving across country you may receive a Order (Bill of Lading) Number from your Richlands mover. This is the number used to identify and track your shipment. |
 |
| Decide on Tipping your Richlands movers. Should you? It is completely up to you. Many individuals do tip the driver and let him disperse the portion to the crew that they think is appropriate. You decide! |
 |
| When moving plan ahead as much as possible. I do not mean the week ahead, but months in advance. Arrange for Richlands movers and and help. Furthermore, take into consideration the time of the move. For instance, try not to move to the upper midwest during January and avoid the south in the middle of August. Just a little common sense. |
