| When moving plan ahead as much as possible. I do not mean the week ahead, but months in advance. Arrange for Lakewood 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. |
|
| If the Lakewood mover attempts to give you a delivery date and time, keep in mind that if you are moving across country, it is really only an estimate at the time of loading. Many factors can change the schedule for the driver, so try to remain flexible. Ask the driver to call you with changes so that you can adjust your plans accordingly. If you have a delivery spread (a sequence of two or more days that your shipment can be delivered on and still be considered on time) understand that you can and may be delivered on any one of those days. |
|
| You may want your Lakewood mover to perform Appliance Service. Appliance services is the preparation of major electrical appliances to make them safe for shipment. |
|
| If you temporarily need to store your items in storage, your Lakewood 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. |
|
| Your Lakewood mover will have you sign an Order for Service. This is the document authorizing the mover to transport your household goods. |
|
| Getting your move completed by a Lakewood mover by a set date is Expedited Service. Exedites services is an agreement with the mover to perform transportation by a set date in exchange for charges based on a higher minimum weight. |
|
| In advance of the Lakewood 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. |
