Please review the Rules of the Road Checklist to be ready for moving day. New Jersey Regulations require move paperwork be finalized and signed at least 24 hours prior to loading, so please communicate any additional needs or major changes in advance. 

1. Please review the checklist below, your inventory and moving estimate details for accuracy. 

2. Please review the Customer’s Declaration of Value and decide if additional insurance is right for your goods. 

3. Please refer to your Move Prep email from SeaCure Moving for reminders related to your move. 

4. Be on the lookout for a Docusign email to review and e-sign your estimate, inventory and other acknowledgments unless they were completed in person.

Before We Arrive

A few simple steps before moving day can help avoid delays, extra charges, and last-minute surprises.

• Review your inventory and move details to confirm addresses, dates, contact numbers, and listed items are accurate.

• Notify SeaCure of any major changes at least one week before your move, especially if furniture, storage contents, or access conditions have changed.

• Confirm parking and truck access ahead of time so the crew can safely park within working distance of the residence.

• Reserve elevators, loading docks, parking permits, or gated community access in advance if required by your building or neighborhood.

• Complete and sign all paperwork before move day, as New Jersey regulations require documents to be finalized prior to loading.

Packing Tips

Proper packing helps protect your belongings and allows the moving crew to work safely and efficiently.

• Clearly label boxes by room to help the crew place items correctly during delivery.

• Mark important cartons as “OPEN FIRST” so essential items are easier to locate after delivery.

• Use strong, stackable boxes that can safely support the weight of transportation and loading.

• Separate or clearly label anything you do not want packed or loaded to avoid accidental transport.

• Keep valuables, medications, important documents, jewelry, and personal electronics with you during the move whenever possible.

• Remove loose items from drawers and furniture, except for lightweight clothing, linens, or soft goods that can safely remain inside.

What Movers Cannot Transport

Certain items cannot travel on the moving truck due to safety and transportation regulations.

• Ammunition, explosives, or hazardous materials cannot be loaded onto the moving truck under federal transportation regulations.

• Propane tanks, gasoline containers, lighter fluid, and other flammable liquids should be safely disposed of or transported separately.

• Cleaning chemicals, paints, aerosols, leaking containers, or combustible products should never be packed with household goods.

• Firearms require special handling procedures and must be discussed with SeaCure before move day if transportation is requested.

Move Day Expectations

Being prepared and available on moving day helps the crew complete your move smoothly and accurately.

• An adult MUST be present during loading and delivery to answer questions, approve paperwork, and direct the crew.

• Perform a final walkthrough before the truck leaves to check closets, cabinets, attics, sheds, crawl spaces, and storage areas for remaining items.

• Direct the crew where furniture and cartons should be placed at delivery, as standard service includes one-time placement.

• Inspect furniture, cartons, and property conditions before the crew departs and report any visible concerns immediately.

• Keep walkways and working areas clear throughout the move to help maintain a safe environment for both the crew and your property.

• Avoid scheduling contractors, cable installers, internet providers, or other service appointments during moving day to prevent delays and congestion.

Protecting Your Home

Clear and safe access helps protect both your property and the moving crew during the move.

Please make sure:

• Make sure walkways, driveways, hallways, and entrances are clear of obstacles before the crew arrives.

• Remove snow, ice, water, or debris from outdoor pathways to help maintain safe carrying conditions.

• Ensure the moving truck has accessible parking close to the residence whenever possible.

• Secure children and pets away from active moving areas to help avoid injuries, stress, or distractions during loading and delivery.

• Verify stairways, railings, elevators, and entryways are safe and accessible before moving begins.

Specialty Items

Some items require additional preparation, special handling, or third-party service before transport.

• Notify SeaCure in advance if you are moving gym equipment, Pelotons, treadmills, or large exercise machines that may require disassembly or technician preparation.

• Chandeliers, grandfather clocks, pool tables, Sleep Number beds, and oversized appliances may require special handling or crating services.

• Wall-mounted televisions, electronics, and complex furniture systems may need to be disconnected or professionally prepared before moving day.

• Items requiring extensive disassembly should be discussed in advance so proper labor, materials, or third-party services can be coordinated.

Valuation Coverage

Understanding your valuation coverage options helps protect your belongings during the moving process.

• Basic valuation coverage is included with every move and provides limited protection based on the weight of the item.

• Full Replacement Protection options are available prior to loading for customers seeking additional coverage.

• High-value items such as artwork, collectibles, antiques, luxury handbags, or specialty items should be discussed with your consultant before move day.

• Review your homeowners or renters insurance policy to understand whether your belongings are covered during transportation or storage.

• Keep especially valuable or irreplaceable personal items with you whenever possible during the move.

Delivery Day Tips

A few simple precautions during delivery can help prevent delays, misplaced items, or accidental damage.

• Avoid unpacking cartons while the truck is still being unloaded so the crew can safely complete delivery without congestion.

• Check furniture and cartons as they arrive to identify any visible damage or concerns immediately.

• Verify all rooms, closets, storage spaces, and delivery areas before the crew departs to confirm everything has been unloaded.

• Keep pathways open during delivery so the movers can safely carry and place items throughout the residence.

• Report any visible property damage or item concerns to the driver before the crew leaves the location.

Consumer Protection

SeaCure Moving follows all New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs regulations for licensed movers.

• Customers are encouraged to review the Important Notice to Consumers Using Public Movers and Warehousemen prior to moving day.

• Consumer rights information and valuation protection options are available to help customers better understand the moving process.

• Claims for loss or damage should be reported as soon as possible after delivery to help speed up resolution.

• Property conditions at both origin and destination should be inspected before the crew departs and any concerns should be documented immediately.
