Keeping inventory

A moving inventory is a list of everything you want to move from your current location to the new one. Each item on the inventory list for the moving vehicle is specifically listed and described.

Our movers will ask you to visit each room and describe each item of furniture you want to be moved, along with its condition.

If you have any extra things you would want to transport, our movers will do another inventory while they are on the job.

Keeping an inventory for your move

For several reasons, moving inventory is crucial to the relocation process. A moving inventory aids movers in keeping track of every item in the cargo as well as every item’s specific conditions. For insurance purposes and to ensure that all the products have been delivered without damage, the list is inspected both before and after the delivery.

The moment the movers load the package, the inventory is complete. Before loading, 24/7 Affordable Moving & Delivery movers will make a note of any broken goods or unusual damage on particular items and provide it for your review.

The customer and a representative of the moving crew must both sign each page of the list. Before signing, customers confirm that the inventory list accurately describes each item’s condition and that it includes all of their possessions. A copy of the inventory list, which should be retained with the Bill of Lading, will be given to the customer by the mover.

The inventory list has to include two crucial things:

• item count: before loading things into trucks, movers do a precise count of the items;
• item status: all of the moving possessions are examined, and their conditions are noted in a separate column.

In the event that objects are misplaced or damaged, inventory lists become crucial. The inventory list records the initial state of the objects being moved so that, in the event that damage or loss happens during the move, there is documentation to support the customer’s claim.

This is also important for insurance purposes. As 24/7 Affordable Moving & Delivery insures every load, an inventory list will help to determine the amount of refund based on the number of goods damaged or lost in transit. Consider it your solid backup, although, in our experience, cases like this are extremely rare as we deeply care about the quality of our services.
