Moving Day can be both exciting and stressful at the same time. Whether you are someone who is moving for the first time or a seasoned pro, there are always surprises that can occur on move day. With so much going on, it is important to expect the unexpected on Moving Day. Here at Al’s Moving and Storage Moving Day is everyday for us. As a long established Westchester County mover, we are here to help you prepare for your move. Check out our list of what to expect on moving day!
The Moving Day Process: Expect a Prompt Arrival
Unlike most moving companies, Al’s Moving provides customers with an open line of communication. Your Move Coordinator will call you the day before your move with a specific window of time in which the crew will arrive at the residence to begin the move. A typical arrival time is anywhere between 8-10 am.
Expect Our Movers to Conduct a Walk Thru
On Moving Day, your driver will walk with you through your home to inspect the condition of your residence and all the items that you are moving, noting any prior damages. This ensures that your goods arrive at your new home in the same condition in which they left the home. If you are moving long-distance, your driver will complete a written inventory with the condition of your belongings noted. You will need to sign-off on this document.
Remember, the items being moved are your important belongings; therefore, your crew is going to rely on you to direct them during the move process. Point out items you do not want loaded or items you will be moving yourself. Keep an open line of communication with your crew throughout the entire process to make sure they are caring for your items properly.
Expect a Bill of Lading
Your Driver will present you with a Bill of Lading, at the beginning and end of your move on Moving Day. This document notes all the important details of your move. Be sure to look over the document carefully before signing. If you see any discrepancies, please let the Driver know, so it can be addressed.
Moving Day Expectations
Moving can be time consuming, whether you are moving a small shipment or a large home. Be prepared to keep yourself hydrated and alert the entire day.
It can be tricky to plan for the unexpected, but you can be better prepared for the process. At Al’s Moving we strive to keep an open line of communication with our customers throughout the entire day to ensure that they are aware of how our process works.
