| You may want your Brentwood mover to perform Appliance Service. Appliance services is the preparation of major electrical appliances to make them safe for shipment. |
|
| Ask your Brentwood 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. |
|
| If you have to leave the house for any reason while your Brentwood movers are packing and loading, make sure you have someone there that you can trust to oversee what is going on. Never leave your home alone to complete strangers. That is just inviting trouble. |
|
| You should receive a Bill of Lading from your Brentwood 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 Brentwood 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. |
|
| 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 Brentwood movers ordered as far in advance as possible. |
