The Long Distance Senior Move Process in Eight Phases
The eight phases of the long distance senior move process have been created to fulfill the need for excellent communication throughout all aspects of a long distance move. Through years of successfully servicing many seniors and their families, Professional Movers.com has developed this unique move management system that is recognized throughout the industry as the best customer service program available.
Phase 1 – Your Decision to Move
There are many emotional steps involved in your decision to move, change is not something to take lightly. Your existing home may hold many memories. However, that same home may become too big and keeping up with maintenance and repairs may not be something you are willing to do. You way wish to escape to warmer climates or to enjoy your retirement or perhaps it is time to move to be closer to your grandkids. Whatever your reasoning, your decision to move is the first step in beginning the process of a long distance.
Here Are Some Questions You Might Want to Consider
- Is it time for a move?
- What will be my family’s reaction?
- Where is the best place for me to relocate?
- Do I have friends or Family that will be close to my new home?
- What is my timetable?
- What do I need to bring with me to the new location?
- How do I take inventory of possessions?
- How do I prepare for downsizing, what do I do with the excess?
- How do I make the move – packing, utilities for the old and new home, unpacking?
Phase 2 – Initial Consultation with one of our Certified Senior Moving Consultants to establish an understanding of your needs and outline our services
Once you have made the decision that you are ready to move, please give us a call at 248-926-9999. You will be assigned a Certified Senior Move Consultant to be your single point-of-contact throughout your entire move. Your Certified Senior Moving Consultant will gather all of your pertinent information as well as provide you all of their contact numbers and e-mail addresses. They will schedule you with an appointment to visit your home. There is no fee for this service. We will schedule an appointment based on your availability. We can visit in the morning, afternoon, evening, or even weekends. Depending on the size of your move and the services you have selected, we will generally recommend that you schedule your consultation 1-2 months prior to your desired move date. This will allow our Certified Senior Moving Consultants enough time to secure your move dates, assist in downsizing any excess items, and make arrangements for packing, or storage services. During this appointment, your Certified Senior Moving Consultant will perform a free, in-house, no-obligation estimate, review the move process, and provide you with an introductory packet.
When the Professional Movers.com Certified Senior Moving Consultant visits your home he will focus on the following:
- Provide Your Rights & Responsibilities Packet & the Ready to Move Packet.
- Explain how a typical long distance move is different than a local move.
- Explain valuation options for long distance moving
- Determine what help you need with your existing home to prepare for moving?
- Determine if and how much packing may be needed?
- Identify which items you may wish to downsize or give to family members?
- Identify which items you would like to move to your new home?
- Identify which items may need special services such as crating.
- Determine an estimated weight of your shipment using cubic feet estimator.
- Explain the possibility of a shuttle being needed at the load or unload location.
- Identify your desired packing, loading, and unloading dates.
The same day or one day after our Certified Senior Moving Consultant visits your home, he will provide you with a customized move plan and estimation of total moving costs. The estimate/order for service will be a very detailed document that will be easy to read. It will be typed in large font and either hand delivered, e-mailed, or faxed. The estimate / order for service will contain pricing along with the agreed pick-up and delivery spread. It will also define additional terms such as your valuation. Our Certified Senior Moving Consultant will either schedule another visit or call you on the phone to review our estimate/order for service form and see if you have any questions.
Phase 3 – The Pre-move follow-up
Once you decide to move with Professional Movers.com, your Certified Senior Move Consultant will follow-up to review your estimate / order for service and provide you a revised estimate / order for service if any changes have been discussed. At this time we will ask you to sign the “Order for Service”, this document will authorize Professional Movers.com to transport your household goods. The “Order for Service Form” is a critical document that allows your Certified Senior Moving Consultant the ability to register your shipment. This helps solidify your pack and load dates, third party service dates, delivery dates, and in some cases pricing. Once your shipment is registered and assigned to a driver, we will provide you with the phone number of the driver who is scheduled to pick-up your shipment.
24 hours prior to the scheduled pack or move date your Certified Senior Moving Consultant will call you to remind you of the crew’s expected arrival time.
Phase 4 – Preparing for the Move (Optional Services)
Sorting – We will help you organize your current home and sort your items to help determine which items to move. This can take a few hours or as long as a few days depending on how much help you need.
Downsizing – Help you determine what is needed in the new home, make arrangement for family heirlooms to be shipped to loved ones, arrange estate sales, appraisals for antiques, and make charitable contributions.
Phase 5 – Packing and Preparing Items for your Move (Optional Services)
Packing Day – Help pack your home and prepare it for moving day. We will supply a senior packing team who is experienced in packing fragile or delicate items. Our pack team will use the specialized packing materials including, boxes designed for dishes and pictures. Depending on the services you have selected and the size of your move, preparation and packing will generally begin 1-3 days prior to the scheduled move, leaving selected necessities for your use until the scheduled move date.
You pack team will document the quantity and type of boxes that they packed on your “Additional Services Requested / Performed Form”. The pack team will review the “Additional Services Requested / Performed Form” and ask for your signature. A copy of the form will be provided to you.
Phase 5 – Moving Day – Loading
Starting Weight of Moving Truck – In most cases, the Driver who will be transporting your shipment will get an empty weight or current weight of his truck prior to arriving at your home. The weight will be displayed on a weight ticket that was acquired from a certified truck scale. The empty weight or current weight ticket will be used later to help determine the weight of your shipment. At any point you may ask to see the weight ticket. In some cases, where a scale was not available, the driver may get a loaded weight first and then get an unloaded weight after the shipment is emptied out of the truck. It is also important to point out that not all shipments will require a weight ticket.
Getting the Right Movers – On moving day Professional Movers.comwill be present to supervise your entire relocation. Your moving team will be chosen based on the exact specifications of your move. Your hand picked team of movers will complement each other’s job capabilities and create a manageable, efficient and cost-effective relocation. For example, if your move requires a lot of disassembly, then we will send a mover who is experienced in providing disassembly services.
Beginning of Day – On your scheduled moving days, our movers will arrive on-time. The movers will present you with the “Bill of Lading” and review the terms of your valuation. The movers will request your signature on the valuation section of the “Bill of Lading”.
Taking Inventory – Before we begin loading your belongings into the moving truck our movers will take a detailed descriptive list of the items in your shipment and their condition. All of your items will be documented or catalogued on the “Descriptive Inventory Form”. The movers will review the “Descriptive Inventory Form” and ask for you signature. A copy of the “Descriptive Inventory Form” will be provided to you for your records.
Extraordinary Value Inventory Form – While the movers are taking an inventory they will ask you to list any items of extraordinary value. The term “Extraordinary Value Items” is applied to any of your household objects with a value greater than $100.00 per pound per article. These extraordinary value items may include vintage items, collectors’ items and/or antique items in any of the following forms: If you possess any of the extraordinary value items of a value greater than $100.00 per Lb. per object, talk to our movers and packers about it. They will complete an inventory of them and make sure you sign the High Value Inventory sheet. Should you forget, neglect or fail to fill this important document, we will only be liable for the total value of the shipment you declared and for a total of no more than $100.00 per pound per item based on the actual weight of the article. Nevertheless, have in mind that shipments under the “basic carrier liability” will not be subject to the fore mentioned loss and damage policy.
Protective Materials – Professional Movers.com prides itself on the safe and secure protection of your goods and your home. Before we begin loading your items we will pad protect your entryway doors, stair banisters, in addition to covering any walkway flooring.
Loading the Moving Truck – Once all of your items are inventoried, our movers will begin loading the truck. All of your upholstered items will be stretch wrapped and placed in premium pads. All remaining furniture items will be hand carried to the moving truck and wrapped in premium pads. Any mattresses will be placed in mattress boxes to keep them clean during transport.
Optional Cleaning Service – If your original home needs to be cleaned prior to you turning the keys over to the new owner, we can arrange to have a cleaning crew to make your home look its best.
Loaded Weight of Moving Truck – In most cases, the Driver who will be transporting your shipment will get a loaded weight for the truck once all of your items are loaded onto the moving truck. The weight will be displayed on a weight ticket that will be acquired from a certified truck scale. The loaded weight ticket will be used to help determine the actual weight of your shipment. Once the Driver has established a weight for your shipment, he will contact your Certified Senior Moving Consultant to inform him of the weight. Your Certified Senior Moving Consultant will use the weight to calculate your total charges and then contact you with the cost of your move. At any point you may ask to see the weight ticket. In some cases, where a scale was not available, the driver may get a loaded weight first and then get an unloaded weight after the shipment is emptied out of the truck. It is also important to point out that not all shipments will require a weight ticket.
Phase 6 – Your Shipment in Transit
Transit Time – This is the number of days between your load day and your unload day. At this point in the move process, your goods will already be loaded into our moving truck and the truck will be in route to your new location. Your Certified Senior Moving Consultant will be able to determine the transit time for your shipment. The exact transit time is based on the weight of your shipment and the mileage between your two locations. To learn more about your particular transit time or spread time of your shipment, contact your Certified Senior Moving Consultant.
Phase 7 – Moving Day – Unloading
Collection of Payment – Upon arriving at your new home, our movers will present you with the Bill of Lading containing the total charges for your move. Before the truck is unloaded, you must provide payment in full. Payment may be made in the form of cash, credit card, money order, traveler’s check, or certified check.
Protective Materials – Professional Movers.com prides itself on the safe and secure protection of your goods and your new home. Before we begin unloading your items, we will pad protect your entryway doors and stair banisters, in addition to covering any walkway flooring.
Unloading the Moving Truck – Our movers will provide you with the original Inventory Forms. The movers will explain that they are going to begin unloading the moving truck. If you would like, you are welcome to check each item off the inventory form as they are carried into the house. As our movers unload the truck they will place your items into your desired room locations. Any pieces of furniture that were disassembled at your loading location will be reassembled at your new home. Once everything is unloaded, we will ask you to sign the Descriptive Inventory Forms.
Unpacking – Optional Service – Our original packing team will begin unpacking boxes that our movers deliver. All items that were packed will be placed in their predetermined locations. The packers will also direct our movers where to place your furniture. Our packers can also help organize your kitchen and closets, make your bed, hang your pictures, and ensure that your cable and phone are connected. All of the empty packing materials and boxes will be removed from your new home. When our unpacking team leaves your new home, we want you to feel as if you have lived in your new home for years.
Phase 8 – Follow-up and Post Move Evaluation
We understand there are times a medical or personal situation can be the driving force of the move and time lines can be tight. We will be there every step of the way, go the extra mile, and address all the details, ensuring the transition is smooth and the new surroundings are familiar.
Post Move Evaluation – At the close of each move, you will be asked to complete an online service questionnaire, used to evaluate our workmanship. This questionnaire helps to distinguish areas of strength and weakness. This assessment is a vital tool, which allows us to listen, learn, and provide continuous improvement on our award-winning senior moving services.
The eight phases of the long distance senior move process has been created to fulfill the need for excellent communication throughout all aspects of a long distance move. We recognize each move is different and circumstances are often unique. The eight phases are not meant to act as a concrete plan of what to expect throughout your move, it is to help give you a general idea of what happens on most long distance senior relocations.
Long Distance Senior Move Pricing Options
Whether your long distance senior move is large or small in scope, Professional Movers.com has three pricing options to meet your needs and fit your budget. The terms are straightforward and easy to understand. If at anytime you have questions, please feel free to contact one of our Certified Senior Moving Consultants at 248-926-9999.
| Valuation Options | Amount of Protection & Released Value | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Option 1 Limited Liability | When Limited Liability is chosen, your goods will be tendered at 60 cents per pound per article. Thus, we are never liable for more than .60 cents times the weight of each article. For example, if a box of lamp shades was totally destroyed, we would weigh the box. Since the boxed weighed 10lbs we would multiply 10lbs. by .60 cents to determine our liability. In this case our liability would be $6.00. You can, at no cost, limit the liability by specifically waving lump-sum liability (Full replacement valuation) and releasing the shipment at a value of 60 cents per pound per article. Example: a 5,000 lb. shipment would have a maximum value of $3,000. (0.60 x 5,000 = $3,000) (With limitation of per pound per article) | Free |
| Option 2 Full Replacement Value | When Full Replacement Value is chosen, your claim settlements are based on the repair or replacement costs with no depreciation applied, subject to any applicable deductible. If an item cannot be repaired, or is lost in transit, settlement will be based on the replacement cost of an item of like kind and quality. You must declare a minimum replacement value of $5,000.00 or $5.00 per pounds times the weight of the shipment, whichever is greater, to qualify for this coverage. You can also declare a lump sum that exceeds $5.00 per pound times the weight of the shipment. There are three plans available:
| The cost of Full Replacement Value depends on which deductible you choose and the replacement value you wish to place on the shipment |

To qualify as a ProMover, movers must pass a rigorous review of professional business standards. In addition, each mover must execute a Signatory Agreement affirming that they agree to observe all FMCSA/STB consumer regulations and provide their customers with efficient, reliable goods transportation and storage, a professional level of service, and prompt complaint handling or dispute resolution (arbitration).

5. Flexible Pricing Options
Whether your long distance move is large or small in scope, Professional Movers.com has three pricing options to meet your needs and fit your budget.
- Non-Binding Estimate: this provides a projected cost but allows you to add or delete the items to be moved without additional paperwork. This is the right solution when you are unsure of the items to be moved but want to at least have a reasonable projection of the cost. Final charges are determined only after the loading process has been completed.
- Option Binding Estimate: this provides a projected cost that will not increase but may decrease if the weight and services provided are less than anticipated. This option is useful when you have a lump sum allocated to pay for the move and don’t want the final move cost to exceed it.
- Binding Estimate: this quote locks in your move cost and will neither increase nor decrease based on the agreed upon services. This is popular with those that like the idea of price certainty.

In addition, the handheld enables our Certified Senior Moving Consultants the ability to make special notes regarding your shipment. For example, if you are concerned about a particular vase, our consultants will make a note on the estimate to make sure the movers crate or box the vase.

The Quick 5 Minute Phone Estimate
Do you just want a quick price over the phone to see what your long distance senior move may cost? Use the chart below to get an idea of your weight might be. Averages and approximates only. All numbers below are approximate; individual circumstances will vary.
Estimated Weight for Long Distance Senior Moves
BoxLess vs Traditional
| . | Traditional Boxes | Box-Less Move System | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Least Amount of Time | Wasted Time | ✓ | The rental crates arrive pre-assembled. They require no tape and no assembly. You can begin packing right away. Saving you time and the hassle of building boxes when you can be packing your boxes. In addition, since the rental crates can stack and nest on top of each other, you or the moving company you hire can move the rental crates faster than traditional boxes. |
| Least Amount of Money | Wasted Money | ✓ | The Professional Movers.com Box-less Move System will save you 50% on your next move. The rental crates cost less to rent than purchasing new traditional cardboard boxes. Rental crates are 100% larger so 50% fewer crates than boxes are needed to pack and move your items. In addition, since the rental crates stack and nest easier, they are quicker to move, and require less truck space. This makes the moving company you hire more efficient and able to get your move done in less time, less trucks and ultimately costing you less money. |
| Least Amount of Claims or Damages | More Potential Damages | ✓ | The rental crates are made of hard durable plastic, NOT flimsy and crushable cardboard. The rental crates are crush resistant, water resistant, and topple resistant. |
| Most Amount of Security | Less Security | ✓ | Each rental crate can be secured using normal zip strips that keep the crates harder to penetrate than a cardboard box with tape. |
| Better for the Environment | Wasteful and Harmful to the Environment | ✓ | Trees have to be sacrificed to build cardboard boxes that are generally used only once or maybe twice. Ultimately, the cardboard boxes end up in a landfill. This is a huge waste. Rental crates are made of recycled plastic that once created can be used over and over again. We have been using the same crates we originally pioneered for over 5 years. |
