Moving Your Valuable Items
Before you start to pack be sure to separate you valuable items and pack them with extra care. All boxes, caring items which are considered to be of extraordinary value, must be clearly identified. Be sure to advice your moving agent in writing about all valuable items that they are in your shipment.
You might want to consider shipping some valuable items on your own. Even though you purchase insurance some items are priceless.
For Example:
- Antiques
- Precious Stones or Gems
- Art Collections
- Currency
- Jewelry
- Cameras
- Figurines
- Video Cameras
- Computer Software
- Furs
- Coin Collection
If you do insist to include these items of extraordinary value in your shipment, a High Value Inventory sheet must be completed and signed by you prior to your move. In the event of a claim, any settlement is limited to the valuation you declare for the entire shipment. If you fail to list all extraordinary value items and/or fail to sign the High Value Inventory sheet, your movers liability for loss of or damage to those items will be limited to no more than $100.00 per pound per article, based upon the actual weight of the article (does not apply to shipments under the "basic carrier liability" option).
You must declare the total amount of the released value that you declare for your goods. This total should include the value of items, including all items of extraordinary value. Record the total value on the bill of lading. Please note that the protection for items of extraordinary value is not available for shipments, which are released to the moving companies value of 60 cents per pound per article (basic carrier liability option). |
