Coordinating with Mayflower

Remember, you can always ask your Mayflower move coordinator for advice. If you need help locating a qualified technician, you can request that arrangements be made on your behalf with a trusted, third-party service. If you authorize your Mayflower move coordinator to do this, it will be added to your Bill of Lading as an additional cost.

Understanding your mover’s limitations

Mayflower’s movers are no more qualified than you are to disconnect high-voltage connections or gas supplies. If you have been unable to arrange for a technician to prepare your appliances for transport on moving day, your movers will be unable to help you disconnect, service or reinstall them.

Specifically, your mover is unable to:

• Disconnect appliances
• Reconnect appliances
• Disconnect utilities
• Repair appliances
• Remove or install window air conditioners
• Remove or install television and radio antennas or satellite dishes
• Perform any wiring, plumbing, electrical or carpentry services

Understanding your responsibilities and having realistic expectations about how your appliances will be moved allows you to plan accordingly and be fully prepared for moving day.
