Are you moving “Down Under”?

There are so many things to deal with when thinking about moving. When planning a move, it is best to START EARLY. In this way you can purge items that you no longer need and in turn you won’t be paying to ship unnecessary weight. Purchasing small, medium, and large moving cartons will help stacking of the truck neatly, leaving no extra room for things to shift in the van. Another tip is to mark boxes in magic marker on their sides with “Open First”, “Open Last”, “Alison’s bedroom”, “Haley’s Bedroom”, etc. You want those boxes with your bedding and bathroom items and your kid’s favorite things to be handy. You will want the shower curtain and the toilet paper and your toiletries first thing. And you want your beds set up so at the end of the day you can fall into bed when you are exhausted from your day of moving.

The driver will give you this document at the time of loading your shipment or before. Before you sign the Bill of Lading, understand it.
