Use Your Coupons * Moving can get expensive, so make use of your coupons for meals, carpet cleaners, and other useful services.

Using Towels, Linens and Blankets for Packing * Use your towels, linens and blankets to help wrap larger fragile items such as vases, platters, stereo components and lamps.

Quick Picture Packing * For quickie packing of pictures or mirrors that are not high value, just slip then into the open end of a flattened carton slightly bigger than the picture, then tape the ends shut.

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.

Paying The Movers * Pay the movers according to the terms of your agreement before your furniture is unloaded. Even if you think the movers didn't give you good service or you have missing items, you still must pay the movers. You can always take other means down the road to dispute the charges.

The Day Your Furniture Arrives * Inspect and note all damage and look for missing goods on the inventory list before signing. It's very important to do a quick check of the furniture as it comes off the truck. Don't worry if something turns up damaged, broken, or missing you will have plenty of time to file a claim.

Pack Non Essentials First * Pack non essential items first, and other items that you rarely use. This way you can begin packing months in advance.

Additional Charges for Flights of Stairs * Flight Charge: A charge for carrying items up or down flights of stairs. Time is money to movers, and a flight of stairs adds time to the overall move. So don't be surprised to see the extra charge.

Movers Liability - Released Value * Released value: Offered at no charge, the mover assumes liability at 60 cents per pound per article. We would only recommend going this route when money is tight. College students that don't have much value to their goods may opt for this protection.

Dispute Settlement Program * Movers must have a neutral dispute settlement program as a way of settling disputes that may arise concerning loss or damage of your household goods.
