| Ask your South Seattle mover if your things are going to be the only ones on the moving van. There are times that the moving companies put two or three families together that are going to the same destination. It might cost more to have the van all to yourself, but it’s worth it. You minimize the chances of getting other peoples things and loosing yours. |

|
| It is important to point out special items to your South Seattle 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. |
|
| Apartment moving often comes with the extra burden of scaling stairs. A South Seattle mover may charge you a Flight Charge, which is an extra charge for carrying items up or down flights of stairs. |
|
| If you are moving across country you may receive a Order (Bill of Lading) Number from your South Seattle mover. This is the number used to identify and track your shipment. |
|
| When taking inventory please make an estimate of value to tell your South Seattle mover. A Valuation is the degree of "worth" of the shipment. The valuation charge compensates the mover for assuming a greater degree of liability than that provided for in the base transportation charges. |
|
| You should receive a Bill of Lading from your South Seattle mover. This is the receipt for your goods and the contract for their transportation. It is your responsibility to understand the bill of lading before you sign it. If you do not agree with something on the bill of lading, do not sign it until you are satisfied that it is correct. The bill of lading is an important document. Don't lose or misplace your copy. |
