When
should I call Black Diamond Moving?
If
you need to move today, we can probably do that. If you require
a written in-home estimate, you should call about 7 days to 2
weeks before your move. We generally just ask you to give us as
much notice as you can.
How
long does Black Diamond Moving need for an in-home estimate?
Usually no more than an hour.
What
are my responsibilities?
In brief ...
- Be present during the packing of your belongings.
- Take personal responsibility for jewelry and other high value items.
- Check and sign the inventory of your belongings.
- Ensure that no prohibited items are packed.
So
what can or can't I take with me?
Generally speaking, dispose of all flammable items, liquids, foods
and other items that should not be shipped. Anything that can
deteriorate should not be shipped. If you have a question about
something, just call and ask.
Anything
that is definitely a no-go area?
Well, mainly those things you might expect - drugs, alcohol, weapons,
ammunition. Shipping certain high value items or collections may
require you to purchase extra coverage.
What
about my car?
Most of the time we can take your car(s), truck or SUV with the
rest of your belongings in the trailer or container. If this is
not possible, we can arrange for an alternate method. We do not
transport cars as part of a regular local move, however.
Suppose
I pack myself?
Why not? But be aware of the potential problems. For instance,
valuation coverage will not pay out on goods packed by their owner,
unless the exterior of the box is damaged.
How
long will Black Diamond Moving take to pack my goods?
Every home is different but we can normally pack a home in 1-2
days.
Can
I leave my clothes in their drawers?
Yes, you can. Just be sure not to leave anything solid that can
damage the piece.
