For local moves, the ICC requires us to provide free valuation coverage on your Bill of Lading. This insurance is set at $0.30 per pound per article.
For long distance moves, the U.S. Department of Transportation requires us to provide free valuation coverage of $0.60 per pound per article, up to $2,000 in aggregate.
Note that these two free insurance plans provide minimal protection, not full coverage because they are based strictly upon weight. That’s why most people opt for Full Replacement Value Insurance (FRVI), which is usually provided by a third-party insurer. FRVI protects your possessions while in transit, based on their replacement values. You must take out this insurance prior to moving day.
A good place to start is with The United States Post Service. You can go online and visit the United States Postal Service website and fill out the Change of Address form. https://moversguide.usps.com/mgo/disclaimer?referral=UMOVE
It’s also important to make sure that you change your address with your credit card companies, banks, insurance providers, schools or any subscriptions you may have.
The first thing is to give away, donate, discard or sell as much things as you can. If you still have too much stuff for your new destination you can store your excess belongings. Most moving companies offer full-service storage facilities that will take good care of your belongings until you reclaim them.
As much as we’d enjoy your company, we cannot transport you in the moving truck, for insurance reasons. Maybe a friend, cab or Uber can transport you for a local move.
