WHAT IS BASIC VALUE PROTECTION (AKA RELEASED VALUE PROTECTION)

Basic Value Protection - Coverage is to a value of $.60 per pound per article. There is no charge for this valuation. The carrier's maximum liability shall be $.60 per pound per the actual weight of any lost or damaged article or articles, if the shipment has been expressly released by the shipper to such value per article. (For example, if a refrigerator weighing 400 lbs. was destroyed, a check for $240 would be issued. The value of the item is not considered when settling claims with Basic Value Protection.)

*We do not cover pressboard furniture due to the inherent likelihood that it cracks and breaks. We do not cover boxes that are PBO (packed by owner) unless the box shows signs of damage. We do not cover lawns or yards or landscaping when the tenant or owner has instructed us to park in such a place. We do not cover Trinitron televisions due to their fragile nature and unstable and unbalanced weight distribution. All flat screen and LCD TVs must be boxed or crated to be covered.

HOW DO I FILE A CLAIM? We have an internal process for handling claims. The best thing you can do to protect your interest is to document via writing and photos as much as possible. Keep all packaging etc.

MOVING DURING THE HOLIDAYS Moving during the holidays is never ideal, but life does not take a break for our personal celebrations. While we do not move on Christmas Day, we will accommodate other days as necessary.

There are items that you may need immediately upon arrival at your new home. To keep track of it, we recommend getting a clear tote and putting it in your car. These are things like medications, next day work clothes, remote controls to tvs etc.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SCREWS FROM MY FURNITURE? Many times beds and other furniture items are assembled with screws or other hardware. We recommend that you have some sealable baggies available to put them in and label them per item (kind bed, queen bed, Mary's bed, Tommy's dresser mirror screws) and so forth.

DO YOU MOVE SAFES? I get this question a lot. And yes, we do. But we need to know a lot more about the safe than, "it's heavy"!! Make/brand Model Height Weight Depth Stairs at load address? Stairs at unload address? Going over grass at either address? Will it be empty? Does the door come off? Basically I need to know everything about it so that I can plan and have proper resources.
