Steps to request a Managed Survey

Follow these steps to schedule a Managed survey appointment.

What happens during a Managed Survey?

  • We'll intro ourselves as "I'm [NAME] on behalf of [YOUR COMPANY NAME], to help get your survey completed today. After the survey, a team member at [YOUR COMPANY NAME] will be in touch about next steps."

  • Addresses

    • We’ll confirm addresses for the move.

  • Packing

    • For military and national account, we'll set to CP packing.

    • For COD, we'll ask customer if they want packing help and mark cartons as such per room.

  • Dimensions

    • The following items will be measured during the survey if the customer has a measuring tape handy. They will be listed on the Visual Inventory cover page: Statue, oversized vase and similar fragile items, mirrors and paintings over 4' in any dimension, glass table tops and shelves, marble/granite/stone table top, TV over 60," taxidermy, chandelier, fish tank over 20 gallons, pool table slates, piano, grandfather clock

  • Disassembly

    • These are the items that require assembly and disassembly (and sometimes handled by a 3rd party). Surveyor will ask if the customer needs help with disassembly and note as such: Large bookshelves, large entertainment center, large armoires/wardrobe, complicated bed (bunk, canopy, with drawers/trundle, sleep number, etc), complicated desk (L-shaped or with shelving/hutch), pool table and other large game tables, exercise machines, trampoline, playhouse and outdoor swingsets, platform bed.

  • Bulky Items

    • These are the items that are difficult to move due to their size/weight, or require special handling. Surveyor will sometimes ask for make/model, dimensions, or length, depending on the item. These will be listed in the "Bulky" section of the cover page of Visual Inventory: Piano, large safe, motorcycle, boat, trailer, kayak, canoe, large surfboard, heavy tool chest, hot tub, anything over 7 feet

  • TV

    • Will ask for size, dimensions, and if there is original box for shipment.

  • Bed

    • Size (king, queen, double/full, twin/single), type of mattress (coil, memory foam, pillow top), Is there a box spring and how many? If the bed is a waterbed or a platform bed?

  • Washing Machine

    • If it goes, labeled as 3rd party servicing.

  • Dryer

    • If it goes, labeled as 3rd party servicing. Also will note gas or electric.

  • Stove

    • If it goes, labeled as 3rd party servicing. Also will note gas or electric.

  • Refrigerator

    • If it goes, labeled as 3rd party servicing.

  • Safe

    • Will note make & model, approximate weight. Serial number if available.

  • 3rd Party Servicing

    • These are the items that require disconnecting and dismounting, and that is often handled by a 3rd party. So we will ask the customer who will be handling the disconnecting/dismounting. If handled by the movers or 3rd party, these will be listed in the "3rd party servicing" section of the Visual Inventory: Washer/dryer, stove, refrigerator with an ice maker, light fixture, anything else connected to a waterline, gas line or directly to the electric grid, mounted TV or monitor, wall shelf, anything else attached to the wall, ceiling or floor, grandfather clock, piano with a humidifier.
