Creating a clear area for items that must not be loaded
Similar packages can be confused on moving day. Set aside a clearly identified area for belongings staying behind or travelling in your luggage.
Before you start
Separate items staying, being donated and travelling with you. Mark the areas in a way everyone understands before the team arrives.
Practical steps
- Keep personal bags and documents away from moving cartons.
- Explicitly remove items staying behind from the shipment inventory.
- Show the area to the crew during the initial walkthrough.
Checks on arrival
Check the reserved area before the vehicle leaves. Report anything loaded by mistake or unexpectedly left behind immediately to the coordinator.
What to include in your quote request
Share your current inventory with collection and delivery details. Include large items, packing responsibilities and the intended date alongside carton numbers. Record subsequent changes in the same place and confirm that the final list matches the written quote.
