Taking photos of each item and grouping them by room are just two of the tips included in a new report on "How to Make a Moving Inventory in 6 Steps," announce Movers.com
—
Movers.com is announcing a resource designed to help Philadelphia homeowners create a complete inventory for their out-of-state apartment moves, covering everything from which columns to include in an inventory, to how to organize items to minimize handling and stair fees.
The full guide can be found at https://www.movers.com/moving-guides/how-to-make-a-moving-inventory-in-6-steps.html
The new resource addresses one of the most common concerns of long-distance movers: their items going missing during the move. Whether due to inadequate shipping management or outright stolen, missing items are common - but they should be covered by the mover’s insurance, provided that owners can prove that those items existed in the first place, explains Movers.com.
Without an adequate inventory, however, most homeowners are left with no legal recourse when their items are missing - and the new guide aims to help homeowners make a thorough inventory to minimize this risk.
The report recommends inventorying each room separately, and breaking down each entry into several columns, including make, model, and serial number, current condition, market value, and current and destination rooms.
Setting up a digital inventory is essential. “You should always back up your physical inventory by recording the information in a digital moving inventory,” explains the report. “Digital moving inventories are easier to create and more convenient to access. You can use an app on your smartphone or make a shareable Google doc.”
Digital inventories can then easily be linked to digital photos of each item - an essential part of making an inventory.
Once homeowners have double-checked all items to make sure they’re all included in the inventory, Movers.com recommends grouping the items and placing them near the door, to minimize handling fees. Owners of apartments in buildings with no elevators will also need to account for extra stair fees, so, if possible, the report suggests bringing all items to the first floor before the moving estimate.
For homeowners looking for an all-inclusive moving solution, Movers.com has created a platform allowing customers to get multiple quotes from pre-screened, fully-insured Philadelphia moving companies.
