Long distance move - Trust moving company unpack

The honus for take precaution with gear on owner. This why alway keep origin box for all item. Meet professional tell them what you have and if they can’t tell every guy importance for audio or antique go next company. If no origin box write live animal on each box and poke air hole. Tell guy animal sedate and move gently to not wake. If speaker big tell hibernate bear. If phono cart tell them honeybee need to go in cab. Just no say human in box because might ask question.

@tubebuffer Fantastic advice. Am I correct you also previously mentioned lingerie football team that works as moving company during offseason? 

@cantorgale In all seriousness, please don't ask movers to unpack your gear. You're best to wait until you arrive and do it yourself or schedule guys from dealer to meet you upon arrival. If you setup time now and offer a deposit to reserve their time, you will be less likely to get hosed. Cheers,

If I were you, I wouldn't trust the movers with the system. I became paranoid after hearing so many stories about stolen and damaged stuff. It's a too significant investment to put into inexperienced hands. However, if you have no other suitable choice, analyze the company you hire very well. Read the reviews, ask questions, and explore the enterprise's website. I did all this before hiring getmanandvan.co.uk for our last move. And I'm glad I ensured the quality of the chosen services. All my properties were transported in intact condition.

Our the movers who pick it up the same that will deliver it? Or will it be crossed docked to another truck?

I'll join in the chorus. Pack the stuff yourself and do the task with all the nitpicking madness that made you an audiophile in the first place. Likewise, open and unpack the boxes and reassemble the system yourself. There are just too many quirky details that have to be attended to, and chances are decent the guy(s) who unpack it won't be seasoned audiophiles with plenty of time on their hands. Not only that, you''ll enjoy the heck out of assembling and positioning the system again.
