Hi I'm Dee. I'm 23 and married. I've worked in health care as well as office settings but am now a home-maker. I'm knowledgeable in a variety of subjects but don't mind doing a little research if asked about something I don't know about. Most of my friends come to me for advice. I read several advice columns and would like to help you also. I'm not judgemental. Your life is yours to live it as you choose. I believe asking for advice is good, but ultimately the choice is yours. You WILL NOT find a hurtful or smartass answer here.
If you have a question that you would like to keep private, you can email me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
advice
I'm moving from Michigan to Nevada, and using one of those "You pack,we drive" services to move my (one bedroom's worth of) large furniture. Bed, dresser, bookshelf, stuff like that. Is there anything I should look out for with this moving service. Someone mentioned that I should take pictures of the furniture before I ship it off? Any ideas?
I would definitely take pictures of everything that will be shipped. It's also a good idea to make an inventory of all the items with prices if you can.
You should ask the moving company what their policy is on lost or damaged items as well. Also, ask to see a copy of their insurance policy. Nearly every business is required to have general liability coverage, which will cover the costs if your furniture is lost or damaged. That way you know ahead of time what to expect in case something does happen. It also gives the company a heads up that you will be keeping an eye of things so they'll be more likely to be careful.
I would also speak with the moving company and go over fees and the expected delivery date. Get it down on paper with their signature if you can. If they have you sign a contract, make sure to read it completely. If there are parts you don't agree with, discuss it with them. Good luck with your move.
(Rating: 5) Thanks, that's really helpful.
