Common Terms You Will Hear During Your Move

June 8th, 2009 by Miami Moving

Moving terms are confusing at times. Apparently, moving companies apply terms that are exclusively used for moving services and transactions only and they have their own set of language that more often than not, too technical for a normal person like you and I. Although some of them can be easily understood by the sound and implication of the term, most of them cannot be deciphered as such. Here are some common moving terms used for a moving transaction:

Accessorial Charges:  These are your additional charges such as packing and unpacking services; unexpected rendered services and other fees that will rise during the moving process. In other words, these are your extra charges.
Appliance Service:  If you are moving an appliance, electronic and electrical devices that will require the professional movers to pack and unpack them to ensure its safety then there will be a fee for that.
Auxiliary Service:  There are times when it won’t be possible for the moving truck to unload your belongings and will have to use a smaller van to complete the transfer. This service is done if there are no park spaces for the truck or it’s impossible for the truck to access the driveway.
Bill of Lading:  The existing contract between the moving company and the shipper.
Flight Charge:  This is an extra charge if the movers have to use the stairs or an elevator to move your things.
Storage-in-Transit or SIT: This is when you need to store your belongings temporarily to a storage facility in between moving to and fro.
