What to Expect After the Move

After days of managing all of your belongings, packing, and then moving, you’re finally here! You’ve reached your new home. While most of the heavy lifting is done, there are still a few things that you need to manage before settling in. As we help you through every step of the moving process, we’ll also help you with the final steps to complete the job. Here’s a look at how Our Movers finalise everything after you’re done moving.

Unpacking

When you finally reach your new apartment or home, our team will then initiate the unpacking process. Our unpacking process goes much further than just dropping off the boxes at your doorstep. Instead, we will place all of your boxes in their designated spaces, which you can then unpack yourself. We can also go one step further and unpack the contents of each box and then place them in dedicated spaces, leaving you to organise them at your convenience.

Labelling each of the boxes can be essential to getting all of your belongings to the right rooms without any confusion. Our services also include reorganizing your furniture and staging items.

Donate, Disposal, and Recycling

Along with unloading the truck with all of your belongings, we can also handle the removal of boxes and materials when you’re done unpacking. Our team will responsibly dispose of the materials and recycle them. However, this added service could affect your final quote, so it is best to discuss this aspect of the move with our team in advance. Here is a list of all the places to donate in SF.

Placing your Furniture

After unloading the boxes and putting them in their designated spaces, we will then move on to placing the furniture inside your home. At California Movers, we want to make sure that you have a stress-free moving experience so we can handle the assembly and placement of your furniture. Simply instruct our team where you would like your furniture to go, making your new space feel more like a home and less like a storage space.

Inventory Check

One of the final steps to ensuring that the job is complete is performing an inventory check. Obviously, we take inventory of your belongings very seriously, whether we’re transporting your furniture over a long distance. So, before wrapping things up, we will go through the checklist that your foreman prepared when loading all of your belongings before the move. This final step can help us keep track of any missing or damaged items.

Inventory checks also extend to your other valuable and fragile items as well. If we transport your TV, Piano, and other appliances, we will also check to see if they’re working. At the end of the inventory check, you will also be asked to approve a Job Clearance Form. By signing this form, you agree that none of your belongings were either left behind or damaged during the move.

Final Documentation

To ensure transparency, we go through the inventory process with you present. This can be an especially important step when moving for senior citizens. Whether it’s taking account of all the items from the pickup point or double-checking after unloading, you will be present for all of it. Be sure to review the final bill and ask your foreman if there are any discrepancies between the quote and the final payment, especially if you were just moving locally. You can also check our pricing options for more information.

It is important to understand that the final cost of moving will usually vary from the quote that you received. Factors that could influence your final price can include:

To get an accurate quote that accounts for all of your specific needs, it is essential that you provide more comprehensive information. You should inform our team about what items you will be transporting, the volume of belongings that you will be transporting, and what services you will need on the day of the move. If you do want to make changes to your booking, be sure to inform our team before the day of the move to ensure transparency.

By providing us with detailed and up-to-date information, we can give you an accurate quote that will only differ slightly from the actual cost of your move. As for information about moving discounts, our team will also inform you of where we don’t push the cost of service onto you. We want to make sure that your move is stress-free and doesn’t encounter any issues on the big day. We also value transparency, which is why we talk offer so much information about our trucks, licenses and credentials.

Follow-ups

At California Movers, we care deeply about your experience. From beginning to end, we want to make sure that you don’t encounter any hiccups throughout the move. Therefore, we will likely follow up with you after the move to address any future concerns. You can expect your dispatcher to reach out to you by text or email, asking about your overall experience.

Your feedback is deeply appreciated, as it allows us to address any serious concerns and improve our services. Please feel free to voice any concerns that may have arisen after the move so that we can effectively address them.

Resolving Discrepancies

Our emphasis on providing industry-leading services helps us ensure that you can have a positive experience. One of the ways that we stand out from the industry is through our commitment to resolving issues and increasing transparency.

If you face any issues during the packing or unpacking stage of the move, be sure to inform your foreman immediately. To ensure your satisfaction, we have different procedures in place to resolve any concerns that you may have.

Billing Discrepancies

If you have any questions regarding the final bill and how it differs from your quote, you can contact our customer service team. We can review the changes with you and explain why we charged a certain amount for specific services. We want to make our services as transparent as possible and make sure that you’re satisfied with the final bill.

Damage to Belongings

If you notice that your belongings are damaged in any way following the move, be sure to document them with videos walkthroughs or pictures. In the event that your items have existing damage, our team will take pictures for the sake of transparency. We can then cross-reference the items and file a claim accordingly.

Missing Belongings

Moving to a new home can be a very overwhelming experience. And throughout that time, it can also be difficult to locate specific things. Trust is a crucial aspect of the business, and we are dedicated to offering you the highest standards of professionalism. So, if you’re unable to find any specific items, we will work with your moving crew to determine its last known location. You should also remember that missing items can usually be located eventually, as you might overlook something when you’re packing.

California Movers is committed to making your experience as seamless as possible, which we ensure through reliability and transparency. We are also dedicated to ensuring your satisfaction after the move, so we will follow up after the job.
