Packing for Interim & First Night Moving Essentials - 903 Moving Company - North Texas based in Sherman Texas

Packing for Interim & First Night Moving Essentials: A first night moving essentials box should contain all the things you’ll need for the first night in, or in route, to your new home. This includes toiletries, a change of clothes, bedding, and any medications you may need. The last thing you will want after an exhausting move is to aimlessly search through boxes for your toothbrush when you’re ready to call it a day!
Make a list of the things you intend to pack in your essentials box well ahead of time. While packing your other items, you can add those things you might otherwise have forgotten. Review it several times while preparing for your move.

Interim Needs Packing & First Open Boxes: Depending on the timing of your move, you might have your things put in storage while your new home is

completed, or your new rental becomes available. There are many reasons that you might be leaving your old home and must wait to move into your new one. In the meantime, most of your belongings will be in some type of temporary storage. Your first night moving essentials still need to be focused on that; but be sure to pack and label boxes that you will need to use during any interim period between homes. [read more]

Security and Insurance Issues:

Check with your homeowners insurance before cancelling the policy.
Movers offer their own insurance:

Valuation is a carrier liability and is usually based on weight.
Valuation should be not be confused with insurance.
The coverage only applies to cases in which carrier negligence can be proven. It covers your property by assessing the three different value categories described below:

Standard Coverage: Movers provide their customers with minimum insurance for every item. This coverage is based on weight alone, and is required by law to be at least $.60 per pound. So if your 1 lb. Babe Ruth autographed baseball was destroyed during the move, standard coverage would only insure it for $0.60.

Assessed Value Coverage: This coverage is based on how much you must pay to cover the assessed value of any of your property if it’s damaged due to carrier negligence. If the computer you bought for $2,500 now goes for $300, the current price is all that’s covered.

Full Replacement Value Coverage: This coverage is based on how much you must pay to cover the full replacement value of any of your property if it is damaged due to carrier negligence. Under this coverage, the carrier must pay to obtain a new replacement, no matter the cost, of any piece of property damaged.
