| Keep in mind that any items that are considered flammable are not going to be loaded by your Lancaster movers. Understand what these items are so that you are not stuck with trying to get rid of them on day of loading. If you are uncertain what items can't be loaded, ask your estimator for a list. Because movers can't transport most household cleaners, they will be available for you to use throughout the day. Also remember to remove items from inaccessible areas like crawl spaces or attics. |
 |
| Do you need your Lancaster mover to guarantee dates? Guaranteed Pickup and Delivery Service is an additional level of service whereby dates of service are guaranteed, with the mover providing reimbursement for delays. This premium service is often subject to minimum weight requirements. |
 |
| First impressions really do count. Judge your Lancaster 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. |
 |
| When taking inventory please make an estimate of value to tell your Lancaster 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. |
 |
| If you have children, pack special items for the kids. Have the kids pack a box of their "special" items, things that they'll want to have nearby as soon as you all arrive at your new home. Point this box out to the Lancaster mover so it's one of the first boxes to be unloaded. |
 |
| In some cases a Lancaster mover may speak with you about Accessorial (Additional) Services. These are services such as packing, appliance servicing or unpacking that you request to be performed (or are necessary because of landlord requirements or other special circumstances). Charges for these services are in addition to the transportation charges. |
 |
| Normally paying your Lancaster mover will be done C.O.D., which stands for cash on delivery. Transportation for a private shipper may require C.O.D. at the time of delivery at the destination residence (or warehouse). |
