Coverage for damage or loss |
|
| |
Your
moving company should offer you 2 kinds of coverage: the
Basic Liability is usually 60 cents per pound, per item
and should cost you nothing. The declared value coverage
offers protection against losses and damages - the cost
is based on the value of your shipment and may be subject
to a minimum amount or deductible. Estimate the replacement
value of your belongings in order to apply it to your contract.
Your mover should provide you with detailed information
about your coverage options. You might want to check your
homeowners insurance policy for coverage during a move. |

Hidden costs |
|
| |
The
charges on local moves are usually based on labor time while
long distance moves are charged based on weight and distance,
and regulated by the federal government. However, do your
research and ask your moving company if there are extra
charges for moving
services such as Extra heavy items such as piano, safe
or riding lawn mowers, disassembly or reassembly of furniture
or other devices, a long walk from the truck to the house
or stairs. |

Moving services contract |
|
| |
Always
demand a written contract to include all the items to
be moved, all costs and charges, delivery time, delivery
address, phone numbers, insurance coverage and a total
cost figure. Read the contract and the fine print before
you sign. It might be a good idea to ask for a free on-site
estimate before engaging with a moving company. get several
online or phone estimates
and 2-3 on-site estimates before you choose a mover. Make
sure to mention all the items to be moved for an accurate
assessment and price quotes, check
for
moving companies prices. |
