Insurance Valuation

 

Our Obligations:

Licensed movers are required to carry cargo insurance on items moved.  This insurance typically covers thirty to sixty cents per pound per article and may vary from state to state.   We cover sixty cents per pound at no additional cost to you and without a deductible.  Like most moving companies, we offer full value coverage. You  can insure the full load or specific  items.  If you wish to insure specific items, a list  with the declared value must  be approved  by us.  Before purchasing additional insurance, check your homeowners policy to see if these items are already covered.  

 

We may  at  our  option,  pay in excess of  the required amount, provided damages did not     result from any unusual hardship placed on the movers such as:  having loaded  furniture,   excessive weight, narrow  doors/halls, or any other conditions that we determine to  be  "at risk"  in which the estimator was unaware.  We do not cover items made of  pressed-wood, particleboard, items that we determine to be weak,  loose,  or of inferior quality  or that had  pre-existing damages, dry rot, cracks  or  missing  parts.   This additional coverage is  strictly at our option provided the  movers were shown the damage prior  to  their  leaving.  The coverage would not exceed  50% of  the cost of your  move less any discounts  given and does not cover any item(s)  moved free of charge.  

 

Our goal is to provided you with a damage free move.   Fortunately, with our movers,  damages are minimal and very infrequent due to extensive training and strict moving  procedures.   Stretch-wrap  is used by us on selected items: china cabinets, light upholstery, loose/fragile furniture, and some antiques for extra protection prior to moving the item from your home.  Our use of this, floor runners, carpet protection, as well as other precautions  help to minimize claims.   Our movers are selectively chosen and hired for long term employment.   Our appreciation (as well as yours) of  their services insures their respect for you and your  belongings.  

 

Your Obligations:

You are responsible for  "what"  and  "how"  you pack.   You should  have all items in 

 "ready to move"   condition  ( furniture empty  and  disassembled if  needed ,  appliances empty and disconnected )  unless otherwise included in your estimate.   Please  see

 "Packing Tips"  &  "Moving Tips"  on this site for other obligations and useful information.    

 

Do not pack any of  the following items for movers to move or store:  perishables,

hazardous materials, weapons, flammables, aerosols, oils, fluids, liquids, matches, candles,  batteries, articles of extra ordinary value, documents , or specie including  money, jewelry, coin or stamp collections, etc.  This includes any machinery or equipment containing any  fluids mentioned unless such fluids have been completely drained or the tank removed.   Damage or loss resulting from your packing or our moving such items would not be covered under the movers liability insurance unless specifically excepted and stated in the contract or Bill of Lading (BOL).  These items should be removed from areas to be moved prior  to the  movers  arrival.  

 

If any damage occurs as a result of our services, you should notify the move supervisor  prior to his departure.  You are welcome to call the office as well.  Your claim will be processed immediately  and resolved in a timely manner.
