| Take one last sweep of the house before the West 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. |
|
| If you are moving across country you may receive a Order (Bill of Lading) Number from your West mover. This is the number used to identify and track your shipment. |
|
| In some cases a West 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. |
|
| First impressions really do count. Judge your West 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. |
|
| West 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. |
|
| Decide on Tipping your West movers. Should you? It is completely up to you. Many individuals do tip the driver and let him disperse the portion to the crew that they think is appropriate. You decide! |
|
| You may want to arrange for someone to take care of the kids (and pets) while the West 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. |
