Moving Tips
How to Pick a Moving Company
1
Ensure that the company is licensed and insured.
2
Ask whether the movers are full-time employees or day laborers?
3
Check with the Department of Transportation to see whether the moving company you are considering has a license to operate.
4
Does the moving company pay workers’ compensation for their movers? Make sure that you are not liable if a mover gets injured on your premises.
5
How do they charge? Hourly or by weight? Are there any additional fees? Do they charge extra for large items?
6
What are the procedures if a damage or loss occurs?

Organizing
1
Reduce clutter at your new home by holding a yard sale or donating to charity.
2
Fill out a change of address form at the post office to forward your mail.

Keep a folder for all moving documents for easy reference.
5
Remember to return books on loan from the library.

Remember to return any borrowed items to neighbors or friends.
