Why You Need to Check the Insurance
Prior to hiring a mover, acquire written details of the
insurance coverage offered by the moving company. Likewise check the length of
time you have to file the insurance claim. When you're already fussed out on
the moving day, a few damages may escape your attention. 90 days is the
standard length of time for filing an insurance claim.
Also verify if your homeowner’s insurance will cover the
move. If you have anything especially valuable—such as a priceless antique or a
one-of-a-kind art piece—you must ask about special coverage.
The movers would give you with an enumerated waybill after
loading the truck. It’s a good idea to have your own list, which includes
details of the number of boxes taken from each room and every item not bundled
in a carton. Then you can countercheck your list with theirs. Your personal
list is a great way to safeguard your belongings.
Why Guaranteed Delivery is Worth the Expense
If you must get your items picked up and delivered on
specific dates, spend for a guaranteed delivery. This actually does not
guarantee your delivery, but it obliges the mover to pay a fine—averaging from
$125 per day—plus expenses for you to stay in an inn if the date specified in
the contract is not met.
