TERRACE HERALD, TERRACE, B.C.

THURSDAY, MAY 13, 1971

The signs of spring are rampart throughout the
area--even among the lowly skunk cabbage.

Herald staffer Bill Greenen caught the plant
unfolding its leaves in the Terrace sunshine,

If you have'a move:in, your -

future, the results of a survey on
household. moving by members

of the Consumers’ Association -

of Canada might be of interest
to you, A basic knowledge of
what is invelved can save you
trouble and money.

The usual way of. shipping
household goods is by moving
van ; and Consumers’
Association advises that you
should ask for and investigate
references of the firms you
intend. asking to. submit
estimates. A reputable firm will
have no objection to supp.ying
you with the names of a few of
their clients and you cam check
with these people. — for
information on the type of

_ service supplied by the firm,

Shop for movers. just as

|. carefully as you do for other

i?

“f

services.

‘Moving companies
supply you witha free estimate
on the approximate cost of your
move. Be suspicious of any
unreasonably low bids. On a
normal long distance move, a
trained estimator can judge the
charges fairly accurately but
you,must realize that this is not
a final figure -- just an educated
guess.

Enquire about: extra. costs,
Packing and extra’ insurance

will:

are two to take ‘into
consideration.

Packing is available for both

‘local and long distance moves
_and the charge is usually by the

container. You can pare your
bill if you do some of your own
packing -- but remember, an
owner-packed carton is your
responsibility. It will be marked

“owner packed” on the
inventory. Full responsibility
can only be accepted by the
carrier when packing is done by
the company. —

Most people feel that once
their household goods are in the
carrier's possession, the firm is
financially responsible for

them. Nothing could be farther

from the truth. Just 30 cents per
pound “released value” is the
maximum for which movers
are liable for loss or damage to
goods for both local and long
distance moves. It is wise to
consider bringing your
protection closer to full
coverage, You should receive a
copy of the agreement cavering
your declaration of value and
the amount should appear on
the face of the bill of lading
before you sign it.

On the day of the move, you or
someone in authority should
supervise the moving. The
movers will make notes on the

condition of your furniture amd
you will be asked to sign to show
agreement that some things are
marred, scartched or shipped.
If you do not agree with these
remarks -- now is the time to
discuss it, not after the move.
_On delivery day, you ar your
authorized agent must be on
hand when the movers arrive.
Supervise the unloading and
indicate where each of the
larger articles of furniture
should be placed. When the
furniture is unloaded, you
should inspect it te see if there is
any additional damage, You
will be asked to sign a form
saying you have received and
inspected the goods. If you
haven't had time to really look
it over, write on the form
“subject to hidden damage”
and note any visible damage or
loss in writing. Your notations
do not constitutea claim but are
merely a record of fact. The
mover can deny a claim if
damage or loss is not noted at
the time of delivery. _
As an industry, the moving
people in Canada seem to
honestly try to doa professionai
job. If there is one guiding rule
to cover all aspects of moving
from your point of view, it is to
be aggressive and read the fine

-print.
