It does not have to be submitted on a mover's claim form, however it must clearly identify your shipment, clearly identify the damage or claimed items, and also claim a specific dollar amount. Remember you have plenty time to go over all your goods more carefully. So don't worry that you have to identify any and all claims before the movers leave, however any damage that is clear and evident should be noted on the shipping documents.

Moving Tip # 58 - Provide Movers With Contact Info * Provide movers with your contact info so you can be reached during the move. It's a good idea that you provide movers all pertinent contact phone numbers. Cell phone numbers are great, but also a landline or 2 for cases where cell reception is spotty, or cell batteries go dead.

Moving Tip # 34 - Use Your Luggage * Use your suit cases and duffle bags to fill with clothes, sheets or other fabric items. Otherwise you will not be using these resources effectively.
