SECURE YOUR MOVE

Understanding Valuation and Liability Options for Your Local Move

Our valuation options are completely transparent and designed to be easy to understand. We have a dedicated team of experienced Moving Consultants who are skilled professionals in being patient and answering all of your valuation questions before your move. They will confidently explain all your options, what is covered under each option, and how a situation might be handled in the event an accident was to occur.  

The very best way to prevent a bad experience is by taking the time up front to properly plan and educate our customers on the normal risks, what’s covered, what’s not covered, and how something would be handled in the event of a claim.  

That is why we have compiled the most comprehensive explanation of your valuation options and included all the relevant information here, so there are absolutely NO SURPRISES.  At Professional Movers.com, we want our customers to be the most well informed and knowledgeable customers. When it comes time to select a valuation option, you will be confident in selecting the option that best suits your needs and helps provide you with peace of mind.  

Why is Valuation Important?

At Professional Movers.com we are known for planning ahead to help try and prevent problems.  

We provide our customers with a highly-trained move team along with the most technologically advanced protective materials and safe, modern moving equipment in an effort to mitigate or reduce the possibility of losing or damaging something.  

We have an excellent track record for having low damage claims, but unfortunately, no matter how much pre-move planning and caution our movers take, accidents are always possible and sometimes occur as part of the moving process.  The valuation option that you choose will help dictate how things are resolved in the event something is lost or damaged.  

What is Valuation?  

Valuation is NOT Insurance. Professional Movers.com does NOT sell INSURANCE. Professional Movers.com is not an insurance company or a licensed insurance agent (this applies to all moving companies), making Professional Movers.com unqualified to sell you “insurance”.

But Isn’t Professional Movers.com Insured?

Yes, Professional Movers.com carries all the necessary insurance requirements to legally operate here in Michigan and throughout the United States as a moving carrier. However, expecting a formal insurance claim to be filed for every situation is a common misconception. Our insurance policies are there for unlikely, catastrophic events. It is important to understand that your selection of valuation coverage solely dictates what Professional Movers.com is able to reimburse, under what circumstance.

Professional Movers.com adheres to federal law and offers VALUATION

Valuation is the mechanism for assigning the value of goods while in the care, custody or control of Professional Mover.com.  

Each customer has the ability to select additional valuation protection BEFORE any services are performed. It is very important to know the key word here is BEFORE any services are performed. Your belongings do NOT get automatic Full Value Protection, it is up to you to select and pay for additional protection if you would like additional coverage beyond the standard Limited Value Protection.  

The valuation option you select will establish Professional Movers.com’s maximum liability for loss or damage to customer’s goods while in Professional Movers.com’s custody. Professional Movers.com level of liability correlates to your valuation selection. Although Professional Movers.com is fully insured, only the valuation option you select will apply to loss or damage to your property. 

On the day of your scheduled service, The Team Leader assigned to your pack or move will perform a pre-move walkthrough of your space to compare the original list of items to be moved found on your estimate. At this time, they will present you with the Bill of Lading / Moving Contract, where you will be responsible to provide a loading signature as well as select your preferred Valuation option. 

All Customers Moving Local Will Be Offered the Following Two Transit Valuation Options:

Our #1 Default Coverage is referred to as TRANSIT VALUATION OPTION 1: Limited Liability Protection (Already included in your estimate)

This option is already included in your estimate and there is no additional charge for this option. This option is NOT an insurance policy. This means that your property is covered for the minimum agreed value of $0.60 cents per pound per article. Option 1: Limited Value Protection is included in the basic moving charges. Again, there is no additional cost associated with selecting this option. 

There is no deductible for Option 1: Limited Value Protection.

What Happens If Something is Lost or Damaged, and You Select Transit Valuation Option 1: Limited Liability Protection?

In case of loss or damage, this option will NOT pay for the full value of an item. Instead, if Professional Movers.com is found responsible for loss or damage to an item, the weight of the lost or damaged item is multiplied by $.60 cents per pound to determine the settlement coverage. Actual full value of the damaged or lost item is NOT considered for settlement. Professional Movers.com liability is limited to $.60 cents times the weight of the lost or damaged item.

For example, if a 100-pound dresser, valued at $1,000.00 was lost or destroyed, Professional Movers.com maximum liability for the dresser would be $60.00. The actual value of the dresser does NOT matter. The customer would receive a settlement of only $60.00 for claim resolution. (100-pound dresser. x $.60 cents = $60.00 coverage)

Example:

Valuation Option Selected:	Option 1: Limited Liability Protection
Damaged Item:	Dresser
Dresser Price (New):	$1,000.00
Estimated Weight of Dresser:	100 lbs.
Settlement Coverage Reimbursement:	$60.00

It is important to note that no claim resolution will be honored until all charges for the moving services have been paid in full.

Option 1: Limited Liability Coverage has general conditions and limitations that apply to Option 1: Limited Liability Coverage. For a full list of limitations of liability, see below. You may also refer to Professional Movers.com Terms and Conditions, Section 25.A-YY LIABILITY OF PROFESSIONAL MOVERS.COM – LIMITATIONS OF PROFESSIONAL MOVERS.COM LIABILITY.

TRANSIT VALUATION OPTION 2: Full Value Protection (Our most popular option)

This option is our most popular option, however, it is not included in your basic moving charges and therefore if you are seeking additional coverage beyond our standard default coverage, there is an additional charge to purchase this option. See the schedule of charges to table to see the cost for Option 2: Full Value Protection. This option is NOT an insurance policy. 

This option provides coverage based on current replacement value at the time of loss or damage, “up to” the “Full Valuation Protection Policy Value” that you select from the Schedule of Charges Table for Option 2: Full Value Protection. The “Full Valuation Policy Value” selected must be at least $6 per pound times the actual or estimated weight of your shipment.  

The moving industry follows a simple formula when determining the total amount of coverage. 

 1 pound = $6.00 of value 

For example, if it is estimated that your shipment weighs 12,500 lbs. You would take 12,500 lbs. and multiply it by $6.00 to determine the Full Valuation Policy value you should select or declare. In this example 12,500 lbs. x $6.00 = $75,000.00. So, from the Schedule of Charges Table, you would select “$6.00 per pound up to $75,000” as your declared value.  

Your estimate will include an inventory of items to be moved that was created during your initial pre-move survey. As part of the inventory, Professional Movers.com will provide you with an estimated weight for your shipment.  

The “up to” amount selected from the Schedule of Charges Table is the maximum you could receive in the case of a total loss. Regardless of the number of items lost or damages sustained, you would not receive more than $6.00 per pound or the “up to” amount selected. The value of any high-valued items must be included in the “up to” amount, not in addition to this amount.  

There is an additional charge for Option 2: Full Value Protection based on the Full Valuation Protection Policy Value you select and the deductible you choose. See Schedule of Charges Table for Option 2: Full Value Protection for costs. 

What Happens If Something is Lost or Damaged, and You Select Transit Valuation Option 2: Full Value Protection?

Under Option 2: Full Value Protection: If any article is lost, destroyed or damaged while in Professional Movers.com custody, Professional Movers.com will, at its discretion, offer to do one of the following for each item: repair the item, replace with a similar item, or make a cash settlement for the cost of the repair or the current market replacement value less any applicable deductible. (Be aware, the decision of the resolution is based on whichever cost is lower, if the lowest cost is to have the item repaired, it will always be repaired.)

For example, a customer purchased Option 2: Full Value Protection with a $300 deductible. During the move, a dresser that has a current market replacement cost of $1,000.00 was damaged. Professional Movers.com maximum liability and resolution for the damaged dresser would be whichever cost is lower (the cost to repair the dresser less any applicable deductible or current market replacement value less any applicable deductible). Since the current market replacement cost was $1,000.00. And the out-of-pocket deductible the customer owes is $300.00, the current market Replacement Value less the deductible would be $700.00. However, the cost for Professional Movers.com to hire a 3rd party furniture repair technician, less the $300.00 deductible would be $600.00 to repair the dresser. Therefore, Professional Movers.com would elect to repair the dresser as the settlement.

Valuation Option Selected:	Option 2: Full Value Protection
Damaged Item:	Dresser
Current Market Replacement Value (less $300.00 deductible)	$700.00
Cost To Have Dresser Repaired by Furniture Repair Technician (less the $300.00 deductible):	$600.00
Settlement:	Dresser is Repaired

No claim resolution will be honored until the charges for all services have been paid in full as well as any applicable deductible selected as part of the valuation plan. Option 2: Full Value Protection has general conditions and limitations that apply to Option 1: Full Value Protection. For a full list of limitations of liability, see Professional Movers.com Terms and Conditions, Section 13. Limitations.

How Much Does Option 2: Full Value Protection Cost?

Transit Valuation Charge for Transit for Option 2 Full Value Protection: If a customer would like to select Option 2 Full Value Protection for Transit, the following one-time charges will apply based on the “up to” valuation amount and deductible selected.

When a customer declares their policy value for their belongings and the policy value amount falls between those amounts shown on the table, the charge for the next highest policy value amount applies. For example, if it is estimated that a customer’s goods weigh 4,000lbs. and the customer multiplies 4,000 lbs. times $6.00 to determine what their declared value should be, they will see that 4,000 lbs. x $6.00 = $24,000. So, the customer would select “$6.00 per pound up to $25,000” as the declared value since the next highest policy value would apply.

Option 2: Full Value Protection has general conditions and limitations that apply to Option 2: Full Value Protection. For a full list of limitations of liability, see below. You may also refer to Professional Movers.com Terms and Conditions, Section 25.A-YY LIABILITY OF PROFESSIONAL MOVERS.COM – LIMITATIONS OF PROFESSIONAL MOVERS.COM LIABILITY.

Once I select a valuation option, does this mean that I’m fully covered and have nothing to worry about?

ABSOLUTELY NOT, there are situations where the valuation option plan you selected will have limitations and exclusions for certain situations. That is why it is important to familiarize yourself with all the limitations and exclusions to coverage in advance of your move. If you have a specific question, please feel free to contact your Moving Consultant. We list everything here because we want to provide full transparency, so if you have a question, just ask, we are happy to answer any specific question on how something might be handled in the event of an accident.

This limitation applies to Valuation OPTION 1: Limited Value Protection or OPTION 2: Full Value Protection. Professional Movers.com can transport lawn equipment that operates using gasoline and oil as long as the customer has completely drained all gasoline and oil prior to move day.

C. ITEMS OF EXTRAORDINARY VALUE: Articles of extraordinary or unusual nature or value are defined as an item having value in excess of $100 per pound. The term “articles of extraordinary value” refers to those articles tendered to Professional Movers.com for transportation which because of uniqueness or rarity have a value substantially in excess of the cost of newly manufactured items of substantially the same type and quality apart from such uniqueness of rarity, such as, but not limited to, laptop computer, musical instruments of rare quality or historical significance; original manuscripts, first editions or autograph copies of books or cards, antique furniture, china, crystal, figurines, oriental rugs, tapestries, rare or collectible items, heirlooms, paintings, sculptures, and other works of art; and hobby collections and exhibits. In accordance with insurance guidelines, failure to disclose items of extraordinary value will result in limited liability. 

Any item in a customer’s shipment that can be identified as having extraordinary value must be specifically identified by the customer at time of estimate during the pre-move survey and again on the date of service, prior to the start of service. No liability shall be provided for loss or damage to articles of extraordinary value except under circumstances where each such article is specifically listed on the Items of Extraordinary Value Inventory Form on the Professional Movers.com Bill of Lading / Contract for Moving Services. Each article must be specifically designated as an article of extraordinary value and listed. If items are not specifically listed, the customer expressly understands and agrees that Professional Movers.com liability for loss and or damage to those items will be limited to no more than $100 per pound per article (based on the actual weight).  

By the customer listing such an article on the Items of Extraordinary Value Inventory Form on the Professional Movers.com Bill of Lading / Contract for Moving Services, Professional Movers.com is afforded the opportunity prior to pickup of the shipment to inspect the pre-move conditions of each article and must be packed by Professional Movers.com for control, receipt, and liability. Professional Movers.com reserves the right to pack and otherwise provide adequate protection for each article (at Professional Movers.com published charges). If the customer has already packed an article and the packing by customer is determined by Professional Movers.com to be inadequate protection for such an article, Professional Movers.com reserves the right to repack and otherwise provide adequate protection for such articles (at Professional Movers.com published charges).  

Customers are required to have these articles unpacked at time of delivery and acknowledge receipt and condition at the time of delivery. Declaration of high value items does not provide coverage during your relocation. Professional Movers.com liability is determined by the valuation option the customer selects on the Bill of Lading / Contract for Moving Services. Customer/authorized representative agrees that any claim for loss or damage must be supported by proof of value. Customer understands the settlement of items of extraordinary value will be based on the information furnished and/or the value of said property as determined at the time of loss based on today’s actual cash value. 

Should loss or irreparable damage occur to one or more pieces of a matching set, Professional Movers.com is responsible for only the one item, not the entire set. Should loss or irreparable damage occur to an item listed on the Declaration of Items of Extraordinary Value, the customer is required to make notation of loss or damage at the time of delivery. In the event no appraisals are available, the burden of proof will be upon the owner of the goods to provide proof of value. If the final destination of the shipment is at a warehouse other than a Professional Movers.com warehouse then coverage shall cease at the time of delivery to the “foreign” warehouse, with any and all claims subject only to those items listed at the time of delivery to the “foreign” warehouse. Any claims must be submitted to Professional Movers.com in writing with supporting documents of repair or (if required) proof of value. Under any circumstances, Professional Movers.com is only obligated to restore the item to the original condition when it was originally tendered to transportation.

This prevents items from falling out, getting damaged, or lost during handling. It also ensures boxes can be stacked safely inside the moving truck. Remember, no open top boxes can be moved or loaded on Professional Movers.com trucks. Any open top boxes or boxes without closed lids will not be moved on move day and will be left at the customer’s origin for the customer to transport in their own vehicle. In the event an open top box is moved or transported by Professional Movers.com on the customer’s service date, Professional Movers.com is not liable for the loss, damage, or breakage of any contents of open top boxes, regardless of the Valuation Option chosen. This limitation applies to Valuation OPTION 1: Limited Value Protection or OPTION 2: Full Value Protection.

Due to their brittleness, inherent fragile nature, and their sensitivity to tear, soil, or become mis-shaped during handling and transport, Professional Movers.com will not be liable for the damage or breakage, soiling, staining, or tearing of a customer’s lamp shade. The Customer is advised and responsible to handle and transport lamp shade in their own vehicle.

If Professional Movers.com is requested to move lampshade by a customer, it must be in a box prior to transporting, however even inside a box, Professional Movers.com cannot accept liability. This limitation applies to Valuation Option 1: Limited Value Protection or Option 2: Full Value Protection

I. TABLE LAMPS: Any table lamp must be packed into a box prior to Professional Movers.com arrival on service day.

No table lamp can be handled or transported by Professional Movers.com without being packed into a moving box. Professional Movers.com does not actively stock available table lamp boxes on moving trucks for packing. If any table lamp is unboxed and Professional Movers.com has an available lamp box and bubble wrap for packing, Professional Movers.com reserves the right to pack the table lamp into a box at Professional Movers.com published charges. As an alternative option, if Professional Movers.com does not have an available table lamp box for packing, Customer is advised to place any unboxed table lamp into the customer’s own vehicle.

In addition, during moving and transportation of the mechanical or electronic items, hidden internal parts like motherboards, wiring, fuses, etc. are subject to the possibility of derangement through the natural vibration that occurs through moving and transportation.

Professional Movers.com assumes no liability whatsoever for loss of data, hidden malfunctions, recalibration or tuning, or internal disconnection of electrical or mechanical components unless external damages to the carton or item are proven to be a direct result of the mishandling of the item by Professional Movers.com and the external damage is identified and noted on the Bill of Lading / Contract for Moving Services at the time of delivery.

M. PARTICLE BOARD FURNITURE: Professional Movers.com does not guarantee the structural integrity or transportation of particle board furniture. Manufacturers of this type of furniture suggest these items should not be moved once they are assembled. They are made to be assembled just once and are not made to withstand assembled handling or transportation while assembled. Professional Movers.com is not liable for any damage due to the inherent weakness of particle board furniture. (Pressboard, Particle Board, or Engineered Wood Furniture is designed to go into a box from the manufacturer to the retailer and then to the end user unassembled. It is not constructed to withstand the normal stress of a move as an assembled unit.) All drawers of pressed wood or particle board furniture must be completely empty. Professional Movers.com will do our best to transport Press Board / Particle Board furniture for the customer in a safe and careful manner, but because Pressed Board / Particle Board furniture is so unstable, Professional Movers.com is unable to offer increased cargo valuation of Option 2: Full Value Protection on these items. If damage does occur, the customer will be able to submit a claim only for the basic cargo valuation coverage of Option 1: Limited Value Protection of $.60 cents per pound per article.)

The best way to ensure the physical and emotional safety of a customer’s pet during the move is to secure them at a neighbor or friend’s home, or in a professional kennel. In the event a customer cannot secure someone to watch your pet on move day, do some planning in advance to create a safe space where your pet can stay during the move. Identify a room with a door that can be closed and keep your pet inside that room with the bed, plenty of food, water, and toys. Place a large sign on the outside of the door that says “Pet Inside, Do Not Open Door”. This will

remind the movers to keep this door closed during the move. It will also be important to let the move team know at the beginning of the day that you have a pet and show them the room the pet is located during the move so they will have heightened awareness as they are moving.

PP. CHILDREN / KIDS ON MOVING DAY: We recognize that the moving process fascinates children, but for their own safety, customers are advised that kids stay with family or friends on moving day if possible. This will keep the kids clear and safe of our moving trucks as we back them in and out of your property. In addition, children will naturally be curious during the move, especially when they see their boxes of toys being moved. This can lead to them following the movers or asking questions. The move team will be lifting heavy furniture, carrying items up and down staircases, around corners, and coming in and out of your home regularly. As the movers are working efficiently, a curious or unaware child can get caught up in the pathway of the movers. By coordinating your children to stay with family or friends, customers will not have to worry about them accidentally finding themselves in a spot where they might get injured during the move.  

In the event you are unable to secure family or friends to watch the kids on move day or you prefer to have them present, customers must be prepared to supervise kids carefully to ensure their safety during an often-frenzied day. Try to set-up a safe space for them where they will be out of the way of any moving. Highly recommend that they not be near any staircases or any of the high traffic areas movers will be moving. This would include the front doorways, the driveway, the front porch or anywhere heavy bulky furniture is being moved. Make sure that they are never outside near the moving trucks. Kids must be with customers at all times and under the direct supervision of the customer. It will also be important to let the move team know at the beginning of the day that children are present during the move so they will have heightened awareness as they are moving.
