A trained mover will know how to properly pack, move large items, pick up boxes properly without getting hurt or breaking your stuff, load and unload, among many other things. Without the appropriate training you may end up hurt, or with lost and broken items. Also, your homeowners insurance or other insurance policies won’t cover your property when it isn’t at the address listed with them. A mover, must carry insurance coverage for their customers.
About the Moving Companies’ Insurance Coverage
A moving company always carries insurance coverage. It is one way you can tell apart a scam artist from a reliable mover. The insurance coverage will protect anything the movers handle during the moving process. This is a great advantage. Even though movers are trained professionals, accidents can still happen. The insurance they carry will make the entire moving process more secure.
One of the best ways you can discover if items are missing after they all arrive at their destination is by creating an inventory list. Write down all of your property before you pack it away or even do something as simple as a box count per room. It doesn’t matter how you choose to go about it as long as it will help you check everything off as it arrives. Sometimes the movers will create their own lists so you can compare them to each other.
When you notice something is lost or damaged, inform the movers. They will file a report so that you can file an insurance claim. File the claim with the moving company’s insurance agent.
