Sherman Moving

HOUSEHOLD MOVING TIPS

All items that are flammable or explosive must be transported by the customer. Some examples are: aerosol cans, propane tanks, paints, paint thinner, gasoline, etc.

Gasoline engines must be emptied (i.e. lawn mowers).

Garden hoses should be drained and the ends connected together. Place hose in empty trash container to avoid leakage.

Chest of drawers and dressers will moved with drawers full. All items that could spill break or move around should be removed. Some examples are: perfume, cologne, jewelry, coins, pens, pencils, paper clips, etc.

All items permanently affixed to walls or ceilings must be taken down by the customer or a third party service.

Live plants are considered to be perishable items. We can move them, but cannot take responsibility for their condition at the destination.

Outside items, made of concrete, cement, and/or plaster, can be moved. We cannot take responsibility for these items. Changes in weather causes external and internal cracks that can cause breaks and/or crumbling.

Guns and/or ammunition cannot be transported by any moving company.

Refrigerators and freezers should be emptied prior to the time of the move.

Computers and electronics equipment should be disconnected and be ready to move prior to the time of loading.

Try to get rid of any unwanted items before moving.

OFFICE MOVING TIPS

Everything should be labeled, no matter how small or inconsequential. When a desk has a removable return, both pieces must be tagged. Bundles of computer cables, floor mats, white boards, trash cans, typewriters, individual computer components and peripherals, etc....must all be individually tagged.

Tag items in locations that are easy for the mover to spot. For example, tag...

Chairs on the back rest

Desks, tables and credenzas on the top of work surfaces

Bookcases on the top

Storage cabinets and file cabinets on the front top

tag (write on) boxes on the ends - not on top or bottom

Completely empty the contents of the following articles:

Desks

Table drawers

Credenzas - Shelving

Storage cabinets

Bookcases

Do NOT empty vertical (the narrow type) file cabinets - these will be moved full.

Empty all lateral (the wide type) file cabinets.

All mechanical and electrical disconnections must be made prior to the time of the move.

Do NOT have a lot of extra personnel in your facilities on moving day. They will only get in the way of the movers.

Do NOT move photocopiers with toner installed inside. You must notify all service or lease agents that you are moving the photocopier or computer equipment that is under contract.

Arrange to provide the movers with clear, direct and exclusive access to entrances, work areas and any required elevators at the origin and destination facilities.
