Can
Clothes And Other Items Be Left Inside The Furniture During The Move?
It is recommended that all clothes and items be removed from inside
the furniture. This includes all desks, dressers, armoires...etc. This
makes the furniture much lighter and easier to move. It also limits
wear and tear to your furniture during the move. Generally the only
items of furniture that can be safely moved with items still in them
are small light pieces of furniture containing very light belongings
inside (sweaters, shirts, blouses, lingerie). Be careful NOT to leave
fragile items and anything that might spill or leak.
Do I Tip The Movers?
Do not feel obligated to give a tip if you feel it was not deserved.
Like all over service businesses, tipping is not required. A tip is
a reward for a job well done.
What Happens If It Rains, Snows Or The Weather Is Bad?
While it may be more pleasurable to move on a warm, sunny day, professional
movers are prepared to move during rain, sleet, or snow.. Unpredictable
weather might slow down the job but weather is unavoidable. If your
move occurs on a day where the weather is acting up movers will take
precautions to protect floors and carpeting from excess dirt and soil.
They come equipped with supplies to keep your belongings safe from the
elements. However, in an effort to keep costs down, you may wish to
shovel or rake or otherwise clear the access in preparation for their
arrival rather than paying your moving crew their hourly rate to remove
such obstacles.
What Items Are Not Allowed To Move?
There are a number of things that cannot be moved for safety reasons,
including aerosols, flammables, cleaning agents, combustibles, perishables,
plants, ammunition, and paints.
Items such as jewelery, coin and stamp collections, stock certificates,
rare items, currency, and important documents should be taken with you
or make separate shipping arrangements.
Airline
tickets, papers for school enrollment, home closing information, keys,
and other items you need with you should be set aside in a special carton
and marked "Do Not Load."
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS - items that are flammable, corrosive or explosive.
Examples include: Aerosols, Fireworks, Nail Polish, Ammonia, Gasoline,
Batteries, Paint, Kerosene, Lamp Oil, Pesticides, Lighter Fluid, Loaded
Guns, Motor Oil.
