2: Signature After Verification:
When your goods are delivered to your new place, do check and verify if all your goods have been safely delivered or not. Do not sign the inventory list without checking ever.

So, don’t make decisions in haste. Also, to ensure you are safe, you have to have a contract done on paper by both parties. And duly check and sign every item and not just a collective sign for all.

The service provider that you choose to hire for your belongings should be a well-established company. It is advisable to check if the company has a physical office or not. Also, the company should have good reviews and ratings from its customers. If it is a good company, it won’t hesitate to have a written contract.
