What makes a Silver Spring move harder
Write the floor, the walking distance from the truck, and any tight turn into the request
Access notes in the reviews. The access problems these reviews name most are no single access problem. Do not read that as a promise of an easy load at the door. Write the floor, the walking distance from the truck, and any tight turn into the request so the quote is based on your place, not a blank form.
Damage and the rating. 38.5% of these reviews mention damage, and the mean rating is 3.36. That share is high enough to treat photos and a written note of existing marks as part of the job. Ask which valuation applies before the quote is final, and keep the condition list with the bill of lading.
