| If you are moving across country you may receive a Order (Bill of Lading) Number from your Woodstock mover. This is the number used to identify and track your shipment. |
|
| It is important to point out special items to your Woodstock 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. |
|
| If you have to leave the house for any reason while your Woodstock movers are packing and loading, make sure you have someone there that you can trust to oversee what is going on. Never leave your home alone to complete strangers. That is just inviting trouble. |
|
| You may want your Woodstock mover to perform Appliance Service. Appliance services is the preparation of major electrical appliances to make them safe for shipment. |
|
| You should receive a Bill of Lading from your Woodstock 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. |
|
| Ask your Woodstock 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. |
|
| Take care of your Woodstock 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. |
