Moving Day

On moving day there is very little for you to do as we will do everything for you. There are, however, some things you can do in the meanwhile to help us. If you live in a flat/appartment please make sure you reserve a lift for the day. Keep the things you will be carrying with you on the flight separate from the main consignment. Be particularly careful with passports, air tickets, etc. We will give you Do Not Pack labels to identify large items not for movement.

Do not take any flammable items such as aerosols, gas cylinders or oil-based paints. Make sure that all your goods are returned to the house before packing. These may include: items sent for cleaning; goods kept at an office (unless we are to collect them from there); things you have lent to friends; etc.

The packing crew will have clear instructions showing them exactly what to do. Walk through your home with the crew leader to give him an overview of what is to be done. Be sure that he is aware of any special needs or instructions. Remember to keep keys, phones, etc to one side. Advise the crew of any items which you will require immediately at destination so they can load them last (if appropriate).

Feel free to call Monarch should you have any questions during the packing which the crew leader cannot answer.

You don't need to be with the crew all the time but please make sure that there is someone on hand to answer questions as much as possible.

After packing is complete and before our crew has departed, walk through your home to ensure nothing has been missed. Ensure that you retain your own copy after checking and signing the packing inventory.
