-
Request that an agent of the company come over to inspect
the damage.
-
Moving companies reserve the right to repair damaged
items rather than replace them. Keep in mind that moving
companies are not responsible for damage to articles
in boxes you packed.
-
If there are no damages, you still have to unpack everything.
Flatten all boxes for disposal, as there could be strict
recycling rules in your new area.
-
Familiarize yourself with the location of your fuse
box. Homeowners should note the location of their main
water valves.
-
If you are moving into an apartment complex, be sure
to note the location of the building superintendent
and/or other building staff.
-
Be sure to note the location of all emergency exits
in your new home or building.
-
Acclimate yourself, your children, and your pets to
the new area. Make plans for some leisure activities
and, if applicable, start making provisions for your
children to enter their new schools. For
