A few
DON'TS:
- Don't forget to have your car
key's with you at all times as they may be misplaced
during the move.
- Don't fail to advise if you are
moving any valuable antiques, furs or paintings with your
household goods. For our mutual protection, and for
insurance purposes, notice in writing is
requested.
- Don't put breakables in
drawers.
- Don't put liquids in drawers
(sauce bottles, perfumes, etc)
- Don't overload drawers with
linen, sheets and clothing - too much weight can damage
furniture.
- Don't water your pot plants on
moving day.
- Don't store perishable foods,
such as cereals, flours, vegetable etc.
- Don't forget to tell us
everything you want moved. It's your responsibility to
check before the vehicle drives off.
- Don't polish your furniture
prior to your move.
