One of the most common mistakes people make when moving is to assume that their items are insured. This is generally not the case, as the movers don’t know the value of your items, nor the cost to replace them. Always enquire about taking out insurance in case something goes wrong.

It is equally important to document what is being moved and the condition that it is in. Whether moving down the street or across the world, you want to make sure that your things arrive in the new location in the same condition as when they left.

If you have been putting off starting your inventory then when you are moving is the perfect time to start. As you will be packing each and every one of your things, by taking pictures and entering them on the secure My Photo Inventory site you will be able to confirm what you have and the condition it is in.

By doing this, not only will it provide you an inventory for the future but if you believe any of your items have been damaged during the move, you will be able to prove with photos the condition of the item prior to the move.
