POst move tips and guide.
What better way to plan for a move before it happens then to review before hand what you need to do after a move is completed? Knowing what questions to ask and steps to take after a move can help make certain your move goes as smoothly as possible. Lets hope that by preparing properly in the beginning you will save yourself lots hassle and heartache in the end.

Our first concern will be with the moving company price. Did the final bill price fall within a 10% range of the estimate you were given? Make certain you have a copy of your Bill of Lading handy and be sure to have your movers contact information at hand should the need arise to call them.

Next will be to check and make certain all your goods are safe of any damage. Consider it wise to inspect every single box. Even if the exterior of the box looks fine it is best to open each and confirm your household goods were delivered safe. Should any damages exist you need to immediately document them all. You should most definitely take as many pictures as you can. Try to have the movers confirm the damages before they leave. Dealing with them later may be a hassle and there is no time like the preset. If substantial damages exist request that an agent of the company visually inspect them as soon as possible. The faster you get tem working to repair or replace your damaged goods the better. Please remember moving companies are not liable for any damages to goods you packed regardless of how well you think you packed them.
For information on loss or damages claims ! - If you just moved into your own home you should take the time to become familiar with things like the water main, fuse box and alarm system. Knowing how to deal with these things from day one can really save you some day. It may also help to know where your local fire department and police station are.

Should you be moving into a new apartment then take the time to note the location of any emergency exits, fire escape as well as office managers and building staff.
-
Be sure to note the location of all emergency exits in your new home or building. Be very sure to check that they all function prop rely. No good knowing where the fire escape is if the door is locked or the stairwell is blocked.
