Packing up an entire household for a move is often considered to be the most tedious job in anyone’s moving calendar — after all, it’s hard to compete with such a repetitive task that’s usually stretched out for days, weeks and even months. However, there’s a close competitor in the competition for the most boring activity in a residential move — having to deal with moving company paperwork.

If you choose to work with us, in the description of the email that we are going to send you, you will be able to see a link: Moving Day Paperwork. I would highly recommend that you click on that link and by clicking on that link, you are going to be able to see a preview and understand what is going to happen.

Sure, no individual shipper of household goods can possibly enjoy reading the fine print in the Moving Estimate, Order of Service, Bill of Lading, Home Inventory Sheet, and High-Value Inventory Sheet that their chosen mover will give them before the actual move takes place. However, if you do wish to have a smooth house move with no unpleasant surprises or shocking news of any kind, you should pay attention to the moving house paperwork that you are handed.

You are expected to read the important documents when moving, understand them, ask questions if you fail to grasp the meaning of a certain clause or condition, sign them if you agree to all the terms stated in them, and keep the copies safe through all stages of the relocation.

So, follow this moving paperwork checklist to learn more about the major moving documents, paperwork, and forms that will be exchanged between you and your professional moving company in the course of the move.

The very first piece of documentation that you should receive from your future relocation partner is a written binding or non-binding estimate after an in-house survey from a moving company representative. Do not agree to receive estimates over the phone or via e-mail simply because the risk of gross price underestimation is too big.

► The initial document should clearly state
-the type of estimate,
-the calculated final amount,
-all the additional services that you have requested or that are needed for the successful completion of the relocation job, and naturally,
-the charges for each extra service offered.

This is a key moment — if you don’t really understand how your moving company reached the final price stated on the document, you should request clarification. If you still don’t understand the concept of price formation, ask them again. In fact, this is the first real test of trust between you and your mover, and if you get the funny feeling that things have not started off on the right foot (for example, due to vague explanations or refusal to provide clarifications), then consider contacting another professional mover.
