you decide to move, this way we can prepare your move with more time and
careful planning. You can call us anytime, all our staff is available and ready to
answer all your questions.
What are my responsibilities?
In brief ...
Be present during the packing of your belongings.
Take personal responsibility for jewelry and all other high value items.
Check and sign the inventory of your belongings.
Ensure that No prohibited items are packed.
So what can or can't I take with me?
Dispose of All flammable items, liquids, matches, lighters, solvents, paint, camping
gas, corrosive chemicals, food, animals, extremely fragile items and others that
should not be shipped. Anything that can deteriorate should not be shipped. If you
have a question about an item you´re not sure about moving, just call and ask.
How long should my move take?
Experience has shown us that an average 1 bedroom apartment takes 2-3 hours
to load. Unloading normally takes half the amount of time that loading your truck
did. This varies depending on a number of things such as the amount of items you
have, organization, and a number of other things. A household with uniform sized
boxes will fit into a truck much faster than a household with dozens of different size
boxes. We will gladly give you an estimate customized to your situation.
Anything that is definitely a no-go area?
Well, mainly the things you might expect - drugs, alcohol, weapons, ammunition.
Shipping certain high value items or collections may require you to purchase extra
coverage.
Does my furniture have to be empty to move it? YES!
Furniture is not engineered to handle the stress of being moved while trying to
support the weight of items stored inside. This is the number one cause of
damage during moving.
Suppose I pack myself?
Why not? But be aware of the potential problems. For instance, valuation
coverage will not pay out on goods packed by their owner, unless the exterior of
the box is damaged.
How am I covered in case of damage?
Your belongings are covered by valuation. On local and interstate shipments in
our out of, California Moving Companies gives you Mandatory valuation coverage
of 60 cents per pound per article at no cost. In many cases Homeowners and
Renters with Homeowners/Renters Insurance may already be covered through
their policies. Please , check with your Insurance agent. You may also purchase
moving insurance from MOVINGINSURANCE.COM
