| Q |
Do
I need an estimate? |
| A |
Yes.
A BRS representative will make a pre-move survey of your
office space goods to be transported. A pre-move survey
is needed to determine the approximate cost of a move.
The BRS proposal will detail the scope and specifications
of your relocation and the approximate cost. |

| Q |
What's
the best way to prepare a PC for safe transport? |
| A |
All
office equipment (PC's, fax machines, etc.) is blanket-wrapped
by BRS packers. All peripheral equipment is placed in
plastic bags. An inventory is maintained and reconciled
upon delivery to assure that location and inventory integrity
is maintained.
To pack your computer, we strongly recommend that you
back up your software and data files. Unhook all cables
and power cords, indicating their positions for ease in
set-up. Pack cords separately with manuals and software.
Remove all ink cartridges from the printer. |

| Q |
How
much will my move cost? |
| A |
Basically,
the cost will depend on the goods you will be relocating,
the accessorial services required and the egress and ingress
conditions present at your sites. Once you receive our
proposal, know that it is an all-inclusive price with
no hidden or extra charges. When comparison-shopping,
please be conscious of the "low balling" tactics
other companies will present to you. However, they can
never compete with our expert service. Our client
list speaks for itself!

Is
there anything that I can't have moved? |

materials and cannot be moved with your other belongings.
These include aerosols, gas cans, paints, varnish, corrosives,
batteries, matches, nail polish and remover, ammunition,
explosives, cleaning fluids and detergents. |

| Q |
When
and where will my possessions be delivered? |
| A |
As
soon as a truck is loaded, it is dispatched to the new
site. Prior to loading, your possessions are labeled with
a destination number. You, or someone you have designated,
must be present to accept delivery. Every item is placed
in the pre-assigned designated location. |

How
will BRS protect my upholstered furniture? |

BRS
uses a special procedure called Shrink-wrap; a heavy,
clear plastic wrap that protects your furniture from being
soiled. Then pads are placed on your goods and the pad
is taped and a label is affixed. |
