Household Goods Movers

Tips for Household Goods Moves within Nevada

No matter how smoothly it goes, moving can be a stressful experience.  To eliminate at least some of that stress, the Nevada Transportation Authority offers the following suggestions:

Click here for a list of movers  that are certificated and in good standing with the NTA and only use a company from this list.

Be sure the mover explains the various insurance options.  You may need to purchase extra insurance to obtain full replacement of lost or damaged goods.

Get two or more estimates based upon a physical inventory of your possessions.  You are entitled to a written, binding estimate.

Get everything in writing.  Don't accept verbal price estimates or pick-up and delivery commitments.

Discuss when and how payment will be made.  Ensure that the contract reflects your understanding.

Decide whether you or the mover will pack your goods.  Make sure your moving contract outlines what services the mover will perform and what work you will do yourself.

As goods are loaded, keep track of them on an inventory sheet.  Check them again as they come off the truck.  Note any missing or damaged goods before the movers leave.

Attempt to resolve any dispute with the company.  If the dispute cannot be resolved, contact us with your complaint.  You may send your complaint to us on-line, click here or you may print out a complaint form and mail it in, click here for form.

Make sure there are no surprises at your destination that will prevent the quick unloading of your goods.
