What to Expect on Loading Day

 

  • Before anything is loaded, the van operator will prepare an inventory form listing all the loose items not packed.

  • The van operator will place a sticker on each item and correspond the number to the inventory form. On the inventory form, the van operator will:

    • Describe the item, e.g. entertainment center, coffee table, etc.

    • Notate the condition of the item, e.g. scratch, dent broken, etc.

  • It is your responsibility to go along with the van operator to make sure each item has a sticker on it and is placed on the inventory form.

  • If you are having an additional delivery at your destination city, please make sure those items are inventoried separately.

  • If you and the van operator do not agree on the condition of an item, you have the right to notate your discrepancy on the bottom of the inventory form.

  • Before signing the inventory, make sure all items are listed.

  • Your signature indicates you have agreed upon the items taken, and their condition, as listed.

  • All furniture will be pad wrapped to protect the finish and upholstered items will be shrink wrapped in plastic to keep them clean.

  • All items will be loaded in a careful manner so that there is no shifting of items during transport.

  • Where appropriate, our crews will place floor protection in your home before loading.

  • It is your responsibility to perform a complete room/household inspection to make sure everything has been loaded.

  • If you notice any damages to your residence you must document it on the van operator’s paperwork at the time the damage occurs or the residence damage claim will be denied.

  • Give the driver directions and a telephone number where you can be reached while in transit, and at your new residence.

  • Discuss possible delivery dates with the van operator.
