Delivery Day
If you cannot be reached at destination, the mover may have to place

Upon delivery, check your goods for damage.
Be on hand to accept delivery. If you cannot be there personally, be sure you
authorize an adult to be your representative to accept delivery and pay the charges for you.
Check your household goods as they are unloaded. If there is a change
in the condition of the property from that noted on the inventory at
the time of loading or if any items are missing, note discrepancies
on the van operator's copy of the inventory sheet. By signing the inventory
sheet, you are acknowledging receipt of all items listed. Personally
report any loss or damage to your salesperson or move coordinator.
When unloading, each piece of furniture will be placed as you direct,
including the laying of rugs and setting up any beds disassembled at origin.
The mover is not obligated to rearrange your furniture.
Place a floor plan of your new home by the entrance, which the movers
can use to determine where each piece of furniture should go.
To prevent possible damage, television sets, other electronic equipment
and major appliances should not be used for 24 hours after delivery,
allowing them time to adjust to room temperature.
