| If you decide to use a Pasadena Area mover, make sure to clearly mark and set aside items you don't want loaded. This will remind you to tell the driver what not to load as you conduct your preload walkthrough. Make sure your important paperwork pertaining to the move doesn't get packed and shipped with your household goods. |
|
| Pasadena Area 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. |
|
| Take one last sweep of the house before the Pasadena Area mover leaves. Look through all closets, shelves, in the garage, attic, crawl space, storage unit, under the stairs, on the walls and any place else things may be hiding. You do not want to find out, after the movers have left, that something was left behind. |
|
| You may want your Pasadena Area mover to perform Appliance Service. Appliance services is the preparation of major electrical appliances to make them safe for shipment. |
|
| The day before the Pasadena Area 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. |
|
| Your Pasadena Area mover may discuss Advanced Charges: These charges are for services not performed by the mover but instead by a professional, craftsman or other third party at your request. The charges for these services are paid for by the mover and added to your bill of lading charges. |
|
| You may want to arrange for someone to take care of the kids (and pets) while the Pasadena Area movers are packing and loading your items. Have the caregiver bring the kids back home prior to the truck leaving as it important for young children to understand where their belongings are going. |
