| In advance of the The Colony 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. |
|
| Make sure you provide the The Colony mover with your destination contact information. Take down any information the driver can provide such as his cell phone, pager and satellite tracking information. Ask the driver if your shipment is the last he/she will be loading. Find out when the last shipment goes onto the trailer. This will give you an indication as to when they will be departing for your new home. Ask the driver about his/her plans for delivering your items. Find out as many details as you can prior to the driver leaving your residence. |
|
| If you temporarily need to store your items in storage, your The Colony 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. |
|
| If you have to leave the house for any reason while your The Colony 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. |
|
| The challenge, if you so choose to accept it, is to find the right The Colony mover to trust with moving your valuables. Using our partner HomeBulletin, we have made it easy to find a The Colony apartment mover. |
|
| The Colony 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. |
|
| You should receive a Bill of Lading from your The Colony 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. |
