Denver remains one of the most popular places to live in the United States, as it allows you to enjoy an active lifestyle, and it also features relatively affordable housing and a strong economy. However, the process of moving to Denver and finally getting settled in can be overwhelming. A few tips can help you handle delivery day effortlessly when you get to Denver.
Your Delivery
On delivery day, make sure you are available to accept your delivery. You should get a call from the operator of the moving van that day to iron out details. If it’s impossible for you to get to your new home to accept the delivery, authorize someone to accept the delivery for you and to pay your charges. However, if you or someone else cannot be there to accept the delivery in the allotted time, you can request additional time at an added cost.
Delivery Day Steps
On the day of your delivery, be sure to check your belongings as they are being unloaded. If you notice any change in the condition of a piece of property from what was initially noted on your household inventory, make a note of this on the copy of your inventory belonging to your van operator. Be prepared to tell the movers where you want each furniture piece to go, where rugs should be laid and where beds should be set up. If possible, provide your movers with the floor plan of your new house, which will make the process of setting up your furniture more efficient for them.
The moving company you choose may even be able to install appliances for you as an additional service. If you are interested in this service, be sure to tell your move coordinator before your delivery day.
After Delivery Day
Once all of your furniture has been delivered, keep all of your move-related documents in a secure location. These documents may be helpful for verifying moving expenses the next time you file taxes. Then, you can focus on settling in by asking for mail delivery to begin at your new house through the post office as well as checking local and state requirements for driver’s licenses and auto registration. By being proactive and following these steps, moving to Denver can be a seamless and ultimately rewarding process.
