| First impressions really do count. Judge your Hamilton County Area 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. |
|
| You should receive a Bill of Lading from your Hamilton County Area 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 receiving quotes from Hamilton County Area movers, call the Better Business Bureau and find out what kinds of complaints have been issued against that company and were they satisfactorily settled or not settled at all. Once you have done that then decide on the company that will give you the least problems. |
|
| When you are packing, get out your clipboard and take inventory for your Hamilton County Area mover. Inventory is the detailed descriptive list of your household goods showing the number and condition of each item. |
|
| Take care of your Hamilton County Area mover. Consider the needs of your driver and crew members! It is not necessary to prepare an elaborate meal, as this is the last thing you will have time for. Still, run out and get some breakfast rolls or cookies and order pizza for lunch. It is a nice gesture and will be warmly received. |
|
| If you temporarily need to store your items in storage, your Hamilton County Area mover may charge for Storage-in-Transit (SIT): This is a fee for Temporary warehouse storage of your shipment pending further transportation. For example, if your new home isn't quite ready to occupy you might use SIT. You must specifically request SIT service, which may not exceed a total of 180 days of storage, and you will be responsible for the added charges for SIT service, as well as the warehouse handling and final delivery charges. |
|
| When taking inventory please make an estimate of value to tell your Hamilton County Area 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. |
