Bailey's Moving & Storage RELOCATION

PREPARATION
Each Bailey's shipment is monitored by a personal move coordinator and is supported by our entire customer service center so every customer need can be addressed promptly.

Your move coordinator will explain the many services offered by Bailey's Moving & Storage. The moving coordinator will then perform a survey of everything that is to be relocated, pointing out those items that can't be moved (flammables such cans of paint, for example), items that may require special attention (crating for a slate-top pool table, perhaps), or items that must be prepared for the move by you or a third party (disconnecting a phone system or draining a fish-tank are two common examples).

This survey allows the coordinator to provide you with an estimate of costs and various pricing options you may choose from. Once you've selected your options, you'll be asked to sign an Order for Service at which point your moving counselor will register your move with the van line

PACKING AND LOADING
A team of specially-trained packers will be sent to your location on your scheduled loading day.  They will pack your possessions and prepare them for loading them onto the relocation vehicle.   

Among the professionals assigned to service your shipment is the driver or vehicle foreman, as we in the moving industry call him, since his role in your move encompasses so much more than just driving. He will manage the physical moving process. He's responsible for loading your goods at origin, driving the vehicle, and delivering your belongings--safe and sound--to your new location. Generally, he'll be assisted in the loading and unloading processes by one to three helpers.

Before loading begins, the driver will take special precautions to protect your location, as well as its contents. This may include laying down "floor runners" to protect carpets and flooring in entryways, hallways, and other high-traffic areas, as well as padding banisters and doorways to avoid marring walls and woodwork.

Most furniture is wrapped with specially constructed cloth pads or "blankets" to protect it from scratches, dents, dirt, etc. Even items such as gardening tools are padded to prevent them from scratching or soiling other items in the shipment. Tightly loaded tiers--with heavy articles loaded on the bottom--will be constructed inside the vehicle to avoid jarring or shifting during transport.

The vehicles themselves, in addition to being quite spacious, are specially designed and equipped to accommodate the safe transportation of goods. Specifically, trailer walls and doors are lined with logistical tracks, enabling shipments to be secured further with heavy nylon straps.

After everything has been loaded in the vehicle, your vehicle foreman will take one last walk through to make sure that nothing has been overlooked.
