The inventory is one of the most important sets of documents that you will receive when you are moving Long distance, Overseas, and storing your goods. This is your receipt for the goods that we have of yours.

We use three different inventories at present, (I.C.C NO, MC 67234 Household goods descriptive inventory) for the U.S.A., the (Inventory of articles shipped) for Canada, storage, and overseas, and the electronic scanned inventory of household goods. The inventories are not used on local moves as the time frame of the move is insufficient to warrant the making of inventories, and the goods are never out of site of yourself or our employees for an excessive amount of time.

Procedure

We will make out a detailed inventory of your goods including the condition of the goods. We do not mind if you follow us and make sure that the inventory is correct to your satisfaction and all of the goods have been inventoried. When your goods are delivered back to you, you can use the inventory to check off each item as it is returned to you. We can supply you with a check off sheet (Bingo Sheet) to help you check your goods into the new residence. When you are satisfied that you have received everything and all your notations are made than you sign the receipt for goods.

Condition Codes

We use an abbreviated code to describe the condition of your goods. There are currently two codes that we used and are dependent on your destination/origin. Should you have reason to claim this inventory will aid you. Even if some later disaster befalls you, these inventories can be used by you when making an insurance claim.
