Packing and Moving Tips for Consumers and Movers Chicago, IL


Movers Tip # 91 - Licensed and Insured Mover * * Be careful when a mover claims to be "fully licensed and insured". Sometimes that does not mean a whole lot. In some states, no license is required for in state moving. And "fully insured" as required by tariff law, often only means very little cargo coverage.

Moving Tip # 93 - Moving Estimate Inventory * Chicago Illinois * When getting a moving company estimate, be sure that you receive a thorough and legible inventory of items to be moved. This is the main basis for the price of your move.

Pro Movers Tip # 2 - Best Packing Paper to Use * Chicago Illinois * Use unprinted news instead of newpaper. Newspaper leaves ink on everything it comes in contact with, most notably all over your hands. Newspaper also takes a long time to unfold and lay out. Newspaper is OK to use for cushioning the bottom and top of boxes, but you really should use unprinted news to wrap around your delicate items.

Moving Tip # 90 - Moving Terms - Estimate * * Estimate: All charges for services the mover will perform. Understand the terms of the estimate so there will be no misunderstanding on the job the movers will perform.

Moving Tip # 57 - Directions For Movers * * Make sure the movers have good directions to your house. Time is money to the movers. Most line haul drivers probably have a GPS system in their rig, but just in case give them directions over the phone along with major cross roads.

Moving Tip # 62 - Supervise Your Movers * * Just like moving day, when your furniture is delivered, stick around to direct movers. Again time is money for the movers. Movers don't mind putting furniture in the right area of the house, but if you're not around to direct them they won't know where anything goes. THE LAST THING A MOVER WANTS TO DO IS HANDLE A PIECE OF FURNITURE TWICE. So please stick around.

Moving Tip # 71 - Are You Packing Your Own Boxes * * If you are packing your own boxes don't expect the mover to take liability for damage to the contents unless the box has been severely damaged or crushed

Moving Tip # 14 - Garage Sale 2 Months Prior to Start of Packing * Chicago Illinois * Organize a garage sale at least 2 to 3 months BEFORE you begin packing - don't pay to move items you don't use. Be sure to advertise your garage sale in local papers, or put up signs. Also be sure to tell all of your friends and neighbors.

Pro Movers Tip # 33 - Arrange Elevator Use * Chicago IL * When moving into an apartment, schedule to use the elevator the day you are moving.

Movers Tip # 45 - Moving Terms - Order For Service * * Orders for service: A list of all the services the mover will perform and shows the dates your household goods will be picked up and delivered. Read this carefully so you know exactly the movers duties during the move.

Pro Movers Tip # 69 - Moving Company Inventory * Chicago IL * Inventory: Is the receipt showing each item you shipped and its condition. Check and inspect your goods as they come off the truck. If you miss something, no worries, you have 90 days to file a claim.

Quick Moving Tip # 76 - Moving Terms - Carrier * Chicago IL * Carrier: The mover transporting your goods. In long distance moves, your carrier will probably have a very large truck, that could carry many households along with yours.

Quick Moving Tip # 15 - Dispose of or Give Away Items You Won't Need * Chicago Illinois * Dispose of items you don't expect to need or use at your new location. Don't pay to move these items. Have a garage sale, give items to friends or relatives, contact your local donation center, or a last resort take a truckload to your local dump. Don't make the mistake of paying to pack and move stuff you don't use.

Moving Tip # 42 - Be Aware of What You Sign * Chicago IL * Never sign a delivery receipt for your household goods if it contains any language about releasing the mover from liability. Read it carefully. Doubtful a mover would try and slip that in there, but you never know.
