Moving Services Guidelines
Procedures:
- 1. Using the attached (Moving Inventory Form), prepare an inventory list of the items to be moved, including an estimated number of moving boxes. All drawers, bookcases, etc., must be unloaded and packed by user department. A rule of thumb for estimating number of boxes needed is a lateral file drawer containing letter size files requires two boxes. A lateral file drawer containing legal files requires three boxes.
Guidelines:
- 1. Boxes containing books, desk contents, files, and other items will be packed by the department.
- 2. The moving vendor will not remove items, from walls, or disconnect electrical items (computers, faxes, printers, etc.). These must be disconnected by the department.
- 3. Identify all items to be moved "From" and "To" (exact rooms) with a moving label.
- 4. Department must create a "floor plan" at the destination location showing placement of furniture in room(s). These "floor plans" will be placed on the doors at the new location (by the department), otherwise the mover will place items in the middle of the room at new location.
- 5. Movement of personal or fragile items is the responsibility of the owner and will not be moved by the moving vendor.
