Loss and Damage Options: please think about one you would like to choose on your moving day:

OPTION 1— Basic Value Protection
Option 1 is the minimum level of liability a mover may assume when moving your goods. The mover’s liability is 60 cents per pound per item.
Example: If a two-pound vase were broken, the company would pay you $1.20 (2 lbx$.60per lb).
Cost: There is no charge for this coverage.

OPTION 2— Replacement Cost Coverage with $300 Deductible

belongings, or $5 times the weight of the shipment, whichever is greater (less the $300 deductible).
Coverage: The mover will repair the damage to your satisfaction (less the $300 deductible), reimburse the customer, or replace the damaged goods for any amount above the $300 deductible. The $300 deductible applies to the entire shipment rater than each individual article. The cost of this option will be $1.10 per $100 of declared value.
Declared value may not be less than $5 per pound of the total shipment weight.
