The Nation's #1 Directory of Movers
Decide In Advance, Which Goods
Will Be Shipped And Which
Will Be Sold Or Given Away
Before you contact a mover to give you an estimate for a move, you should go through your home and decide what you will pack and ship, what you will sell or give away and what you will take with you in the car. Family pictures and jewelry should be taken in the car. These things are memories and treasures that cannot be replaced by monetary compensation. You can make three spots in the house, one for selling, and one for giving away or selling and one spot for things you will be taking with you in the car. This helps when you call the mover for a physical inspection.
You may find some things as you pack, which probably would not affect the estimate. As long as you deal with the larger things, you should not have any problems with the estimate. The larger things are what affect the estimate the most. A coffee maker or a canister set is not going to change the estimate as much as a dresser or a chair would. The more prepared you are for the mover to come in and do a physical inspection the easier it is to say what is going and what is not right away without hesitation.
If you have things that are packed in boxes already and you feel they are ready for the move, make sure you really want to take the things with you. This is especially true if you are choosing a weight rate estimate. It is always a good idea to be prepared before calling the mover. You want the estimate to be as accurate as possible. The only way to have a true estimate is to prepare the home for a physical inspection. It might even be wise to place a sticky note on larger item stating whether it will go along or stay.
