Check the weather forecast before your move. If bad weather is expected, extra preparation may be needed. Any additional time will be charged at your booked rate.

Clearly label the items that will be moved.
Confirm that you’ve packed or discarded everything that won’t be moved.
If you're packing yourself, make sure everything is ready before moving day. The driver will check to ensure boxes are packed properly.

Mark any fragile items needing special attention.
Verify all windows are shut and locked.
Have old house/apartment keys ready to surrender after the move.

Be available to accept delivery. If you can’t be there, designate an authorized adult to receive your items and pay any remaining charges.
On delivery day, the driver will contact you with an estimated arrival time. During unloading, direct the movers on where to place furniture and rugs. Beds that were disassembled will be reassembled upon arrival.
