Transportation schedule

Ask how Charleston to Boston will be dispatched, whether equipment changes, and which delivery dates are contractual.

Items, labor and protection

Require line items for packing, disassembly, storage, valuation and any handling outside ordinary loading.

Curb, building and carry details

Check whether the pickup uses private property, a dock or public curb space. Confirm legal curb, driveway or loading-area access for the delivery address.
