Part 3 - Last Days

Two to Three Days Before

• Defrost your freezer and refrigerator. Block doors open so they can't accidentally close on pets or children.
• Have your major appliances disconnected and prepared for the move. (Again, your moving consultant can help with arrangements for a third party to provide these services.)
• Pack a box of personal items that will be needed immediately at your new home. Have this box loaded last or carry it with you in your car.
• Organize and set aside those things that you're taking with you so that they don't get loaded on the van in error.
• Contact your moving consultant to confirm arrival time of the moving van, as well as to notify him/her of any last-minute details.

Moving Day

• Your van operator and crew arrive at the agreed upon time.

• Make sure that someone is at home for any enquiries the van operator may have with respect to your shipment.

• Record all utility meter readings (gas, electric, water).

• Read your bill of lading and inventory carefully before you sign them.

• Keep these - and all related papers - in a safe location until all charges have been paid and all claims, if any, have been settled.
