| When you are packing, get out your clipboard and take inventory for your U-District mover. Inventory is the detailed descriptive list of your household goods showing the number and condition of each item. |
|
| There are two types of estimates you could receive from your U-District mover. The two types are Binding/Non-Binding Estimate: A binding estimate is an agreement with the mover made in advance of the move. A non-binding estimate is the carrier's approximation of the cost based on the estimated weight of the shipment and the accessorial services requested. |
|
| A few apartment communities do not allow moving trucks to enter the premises. This is mainly when the U-District mover has a large truck. In these case you will be charged for Shuttle Service: This is a fee for the use of a smaller vehicle to provide service to residences that are not accessible to the mover's normal line haul equipment. |
|
| Ask your U-District mover if they are apartment of the ASMA ASMA are Members of the American Storage and Moving Association offer relocation services. The association provides certification to companies that meet its requirements. |
|
| Reserve a Parking Space for the U-District movers truck. If you live in a congested area, recruit some friends and park all of your vehicles one after another in a space close to your home and do not move them until the truck arrives. The closer the truck can get to your house, the better your chances are of not incurring an additional charge. |
|
| Take one last sweep of the house before the U-District 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 going to have friends or family help in the moving process, line these people up ahead of time, as people need time to 'fit' your moving day into their day. Have someone on standby, as people get sick. Have your U-District movers ordered as far in advance as possible. |
