| Keep in mind that any items that are considered flammable are not going to be loaded by your Blue Mountain 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. |

| A AMSA Certified Van Line is a Blue Mountain mover that is an interstate carrier that transports your household goods shipment under its own authority, granted by the Federal Highway Administration, on a national basis. Van Lines use a network of agents throughout the country to provide the origin, destination and hauling services needed to accomplish your move. Like Certified Movers, AMSA Certified Van Lines subscribe to the AMSA Code of Conduct. |

| Blue Mountain movers will charge a Warehouse Handling fee if you have to use their temporary warehouse space. This is an additional charge applicable each time temporary space is provided. This charge compensates the mover for the physical placement and removal of items within the warehouse. |
|
| Your Blue Mountain mover will have you sign an Order for Service. This is the document authorizing the mover to transport your household goods. |
|
| Apartment moving often comes with the extra burden of scaling stairs. A Blue Mountain mover may charge you a Flight Charge, which is an extra charge for carrying items up or down flights of stairs. |
|
| It is important to point out special items to your Blue Mountain mover. Set these items aside the day before the move. Then, once the mover arrives, point out items that are most special to you during the walkthrough. All your items will be handled professionally but take a moment to show them which ones need the most special care. Also, point out the boxes you would like to have unloaded first, if they are not going into storage. These boxes may include kitchen and bathroom items, or your children's toys. |
|
| First impressions really do count. Judge your Blue Mountain 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. |
