Glossary of moving terminology

Upon arrival to pick up your goods, the mover may make notations on an inventory, or a bill of loading, about any pre-existing damage to the furniture. If a written inventory is prepared, make sure that an accurate description of the condition of your furniture is entered on the record. Before signing such record, note on it any exceptions you may have as to the condition description. For example, the driver may note that "chest is scratched." You may add for example, "on left side only," if that is the case.
