If you have decided to relocate to theΒ Dominican Republic, take enough time to choose your removal company. This is an important step not to be taken lightly. Set up an appointment with a relocation counselor for an in-house estimate. Make a list of all the objects that require special care (glass, mirror, piece of art, special packaging, etc.). Specify to the mover what you will do yourself (dismantling furniture, packing dishes, etc.). To find a carrier or a mover, use the Internet, consult the Yellow Pages, or get a free quote and find your mover in the Dominican Republic now.
Regarding the estimate, several key points are to be considered such as:
- Origin address β where removers will pack and load your belongings;
- Destination address in the Dominican Republic β where removers will unload your belongings;
- Volume or weight of your stuff;
- Types of transportation (by air, train, truck, ship);
- Nature of the services β terms and conditions β insurance damage;
- Prices and payment plans.
Usually, removal companies unload your belongings directly to the destination address. However, some removal companies unload your belongings in warehouses, and you have to pick them up yourself afterward, which implies additional costs. Check your moving contract carefully.
Making a list
Make an exhaustive inventory of your belongings so as to establish a value statement. The value statement is an important document that sets the compensation amount you could receive in case of loss or damage to your belongings.
Complete the declaration of value yourself by stating the overall value of your property and the value of certain particular precious items. Read carefully the terms and conditions of your contract to find out more about the transportation and handling of precious objects. This statement is particularly important because, without it, an estimate cannot be established, which will obviously affect your relocation and your organization.
