| When you are packing, get out your clipboard and take inventory for your Mineral mover. Inventory is the detailed descriptive list of your household goods showing the number and condition of each item. |
|
| Find out what services Mineral movers offer such as packing, storing if necessary, how long will it take to get your belongings to their final destination. Unloading and unpacking. Also, will they transport the second car so that the whole family can go together to the final destination? |
|
| Keep in mind that any items that are considered flammable are not going to be loaded by your Mineral 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. |
|
| Your Mineral 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 Mineral mover may charge you a Flight Charge, which is an extra charge for carrying items up or down flights of stairs. |
|
| If you have to leave the house for any reason while your Mineral 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 the Mineral mover attempts to give you a delivery date and time, keep in mind that if you are moving across country, it is really only an estimate at the time of loading. Many factors can change the schedule for the driver, so try to remain flexible. Ask the driver to call you with changes so that you can adjust your plans accordingly. If you have a delivery spread (a sequence of two or more days that your shipment can be delivered on and still be considered on time) understand that you can and may be delivered on any one of those days. |
