| 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 San Marcos movers ordered as far in advance as possible. |
|
| Your San Marcos mover will have you sign an Order for Service. This is the document authorizing the mover to transport your household goods. |
|
| Traveling across country? Your San Marcos call this a Long Carry. A Long Carry charge is an added charge for carrying articles excessive distances between the mover's vehicle and your residence. |
|
| The day before the San Marcos 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 have to leave the house for any reason while your San Marcos 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. |
|
| If you are moving across country you may receive a Order (Bill of Lading) Number from your San Marcos mover. This is the number used to identify and track your shipment. |
|
| San Marcos 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. |
