Name the person who can release the shipment
If you will not be at the property, arrange access and discuss the person representing you with the moving team before pickup. Confirm gate procedures and which floors contain furniture. For a vacation-home move, distinguish belongings that stay for future occupants from the shipment leaving South Carolina.

Your moving estimate, protection and payment
A move entirely within South Carolina and a move to another state can have different estimate, licensing and protection requirements.
Interstate moving: estimates, inventory changes and shipment protection.
South Carolina: rules for a move entirely within South Carolina
Certificate and different insurance policies
Verify the PSC/ORS certificate for an in-state move. ORS monitors auto liability and cargo policies; damage to the home may instead involve general liability. Ask about coverage limits and additional protection rather than relying on the word “insured.”
Inventory, estimate and tariff
ORS recommends a visual inspection and inventory before the quote, including existing damage. You can request the approved tariff to check the estimated rates. If you add items or work, request a revised inventory and the corresponding tariff charges before proceeding.
