Careful planning makes any change easier, and that
certainly applies to moving. By following a few simple guidelines,
you can greatly reduce the stresses of moving.
For more information on your rights when moving, write the
Interstate Commerce Commission and request a free pamphlet, Your
Rights and Responsibilities When You Move, from the ICC Office of
Compliance and Consumer Assistance, Washington, d.C. 20423.
If moving from another state, it is likely that you will require
the services of a moving company. But if you are moving to the
area from a reasonable distance, you may want to personally move
your belongings. Be sure, though, to include the extra time and
effort when you compare costs in hours and dollars. Before you
move, try to get rid of what you do not need. do not use heavy
containers to pack belongings, and use wardrobe space wisely by
packing off-season garments in boxes. Consider mailing books,
because the post office book rate is less than some moving
companies.
Select a moving company carefully by getting recommendations from
customers and by checking prices and information to make sure you
know what is involved.
Prices and services vary considerably between moving companies.
Most give free estimates based on length of move and weight of
goods. Movers offer two kinds of estimates: binding and
non-binding. The binding estimate describes in detail the shipment
and all services to be provided. With this type of estimate, you
cannot be required to pay more than the estimate. Non-binding
estimates approximate cost. Movers may not charge for providing a
non-binding estimate. There is no guarantee, however, that the
final billing will not be more than the estimate, but it cannot be
an increase of more than 10 percent. With a non-binding estimate,
every service must be clearly outlined in writing. do not sign or
accept the order for service or bill of lading unless the amount
estimated is entered on each form when prepared by the mover. You
will have up to 30 days after delivery to pay additional charges.
Many moving companies fall behind schedule. Search for a company
that will guarantee a pick-up and delivery day, and make sure
those times are in your contract. do not agree to have your
shipment picked up or delivered "as soon as possible." It is best
to move at times other than the end of the month or during summer
vacation periods, because moving companies are most busy then.
Although the moving company provides liability insurance on goods
by the pound, it is possible and often wise to purchase additional
insurance.
Before you allow a company to begin work, make your inventory. do
this even if the company plans to do it, and be sure to note
scratches and other blemishes that will help you verify a claim of
damage. If the company does its own inventory, check it carefully
against your own before you sign anything.
Remember that the moving company employs trained professionals,
and there is less chance of damage if they do the packing. They
can usually do it in one day. Make sure you will be at your new
home when you have agreed to be there. If no one is home, your
belongings will go into storage. Then the moving company will
expect payment in cash before unloading.
Tax deductions might apply to your move, so keep appropriate
records and receipts.
