CHECKLIST

1. Obtain written estimates at least one month before your scheduled move date.

2. As soon as you have selected your moving company, call them to confirm the date of the move and select a start time for the move. For a local move, call Crown at least three weeks before move date during the high season (April through September), or two weeks during the rest of the year. Discuss any outstanding matters such as any storage requirements, valuation options and payment methods. Do not be afraid to ask questions!

3. If you live in a building with elevators, and/or are moving to such a building, call the management office(s) to reserve your elevator time. Do this at least two weeks before the move date. Allow plenty of time for the elevator portions of the move. Remember that many buildings restrict use of elevators for moves to certain days and times of day. Elevator moves actually take longer than most conventional apartment or single family home moves. (Movers, International Movers, and Moving Companies)

4. Make sure Crown has all available contact numbers for yourself and your family. Ideally, leave details of a cellphone contact in case of emergency on the day of the move when domestic phone service will have been disconnected.

5. In the event of any changes to your move date, or the starting time, call Crown as soon as these are known. Communication is key to a successful move.

6. If you require beds to be disassembled or reassembled, please advise us in advance to allow the crew to take appropriate tools. Remember as well that for a local move, charges depend on the hours taken to complete the move, so factor in the extra cost time-wise of such jobs.

7. Be packed and ready to start the move on time!! It is crucial that all packing be completed when the crew arrives. Nothing causes more confusion in a move than the crew trying to load the truck while the customer finishes packing.

8. Have one person be responsible for directing the crew chief. Crown’s crew chief will identify him or herself to the customer upon arrival, and it helps the move go much more smoothly if the chief is dealing with just one single individual as opposed to a committee of friends and relatives.

9. Read the Bill of Lading carefully when asked to do so by the crew chief. This is the governing document relating to the contractual aspect of the move. If there is any charge or cost or arrangement that you are unsure of or require clarification to, call Crown immediately.

10. When the move is finished and the bill has been totaled up, call Crown immediately if there are any queries. Please remember that payment for a local move is based on the previously agreed combination of movers and trucks and the time taken from the beginning of the move to its conclusion.
