| If the Shoreline 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. |
|
| Apartment moving often comes with the extra burden of scaling stairs. A Shoreline mover may charge you a Flight Charge, which is an extra charge for carrying items up or down flights of stairs. |
|
| When you are packing, get out your clipboard and take inventory for your Shoreline mover. Inventory is the detailed descriptive list of your household goods showing the number and condition of each item. |
|
| Keep in mind that any items that are considered flammable are not going to be loaded by your Shoreline 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. |
|
| Take care of your Shoreline mover. Consider the needs of your driver and crew members! It is not necessary to prepare an elaborate meal, as this is the last thing you will have time for. Still, run out and get some breakfast rolls or cookies and order pizza for lunch. It is a nice gesture and will be warmly received. |
|
| The Shoreline mover is known as the Carrier. A carrier is just a term signifying the mover providing transportation of your household goods. |
|
| Your Shoreline mover will have you sign an Order for Service. This is the document authorizing the mover to transport your household goods. |
