| Ask your Philadelphia mover if they are apartment of the ASMA ASMA are Members of the American Storage and Moving Association offer relocation services. The association provides certification to companies that meet its requirements. |
|
| Philadelphia movers sometimes charge Line Haul Charges: These are charges for the vehicle transportation portion of your move. These charges apply in addition to the additional service charges. |
|
| It is important to point out special items to your Philadelphia 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. |
|
| The day before the Philadelphia movers come, pack each plant in an appropriate sized moving box. However, first of all give them a good drink of water, put them in a black trash bag sealed tight, then in the box. Be sure and seal the box. Write "LIVE PLANT" on the outside with arrows pointing upright. If you have a good mover, they will load these last. The larger greenery needs to go in a dishpack, and you probably will not be able to close the box, but still follow the steps, and make some type of plastic cover over these. What happens is they create their own mini environment, and can survive up to a week in these boxes. |
|
| 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 Philadelphia movers ordered as far in advance as possible. |
|
| In advance of the Philadelphia 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. |
|
| When you are packing, get out your clipboard and take inventory for your Philadelphia mover. Inventory is the detailed descriptive list of your household goods showing the number and condition of each item. |
