North West Houston Moving and Storage.

Here are a few tips, that will help you to organize and making your moving day run a little smoother.

  • "Work with the movers". Be on hand when the movers arrive. If you are not able to be present while the movers are there designate an authorized person who will be authorized to take your place. Let the moving agent know to whom you have given the authority. Be sure that your chosen representative knows exactly what to do and what is being moved. This person may be asked to sign documents concerning times and charges relating to your move.
  • Provide the new phone number and all other phone numbers where you can be reached while shipment is in transit. Make sure to take along the moving agent's name, and telephone number.
  • Review all paper work and details when mover arrives. Accompany the driver as he or she inspects each piece of furniture. Make sure your mover understands exactly what and where everything is located.
  • Stay home until the last item is packed. Make a final inspection before the moving agent leaves. It is your responsibility to see all of your goods are loaded. Leave your phone connected throughout moving day. After the movers leave pack your phone in one of your suitcases for easy access when you arrive to your new home.
  • Clean your house as much as you can before the moving van arrives.
  • The moving agent or the driver will contact you at least 24 hours prior to expected arrival time. This allows enough time to reschedule the move if necisary.It is your responsibility to contact the moving agent if changes need to be made after this time.
  • Review your floor plan so you can tell the movers where to place your furniture and appliances. Make yourself available for the movers for instructions on where to place your furniture while unloading. Stay there in case there are any questions.
  • If you cannot be at your home while the trailer is being unloaded be sure to authorize a representative to accept delivery and pay the charges for you. Inform the moving agent of your representative and his or her name.
  • By signing the finalized contract, you are acknowledging the receipt of all items listed. Document any loss or damage on the inventory sheet and report this to the moving agent at destination, immediately.
  • Get a baby sitter for your kids during the unloading process.
  • Put your pets in a room where they will not be on the way of the loading process.
  • Unpacking of containers service is available, as well as furniture placement. Unpacking and removal of cartons may also be requested.
  • Make sure all utilities have been connected.
  • Have your phone connected a day before move-in day.
  • You will be asked to sign the final contract accepting delivery of furniture. Review this paper work and make any notes necessary.
