Items: Extraordinary Value & Not To Pack |
Packing guide, the best way to pack |
Items of Extraordinary Value
All items of extraordinary value (items with a value greater than $0.60 per pound per article) must be identified and you must advise your van line agent IN WRITING that these items are in your shipment.For example:
- Antiques
- Video Cameras
- Oriental Rugs
- Precious Stones or Gems
- Art Collections
- Figurines
- Silver and Silverware
- Cameras
- Currency
- Computer Software
- Furs
- Coin Collection
- Crystal
In the event of a claim, any settlement is strictly limited to the valuation you declare for the entire shipment. If you fail to list any and all extraordinary high value items and/or fail to sign the High Value Inventory Sheet, the van line liability for the loss or damage to those high valued items will be limited to no more than $0.60 per pound, per article based upon the actual weight of the article (this 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 loading. Please note that the protection for items of extraordinary value is not available for shipments, which are released to the van line's value of 60 cents per pound per article (basic carrier liability option).
Items Not To Pack:
Please read this section carefully before doing any of your own packing and/or loading. Become familiar with the rules and regulations that govern the movement of certain goods to ensure safety.Other items may need to be disassembled and packed by a professional (for example exercise/gym equipment, large furniture units etc).
The following list will help guide you in determining what you may need help moving and to ensure safety in general. If you have any specific questions, please contact your mover.
Flammable, corrosive or explosive items:
- Acid / Gasoline Poisons / Charcoal / Lighter Fluid
- Lamp Oil / Propane Tanks / Cleaning Fluid
- Fertilizer / Paints / Car Batteries / Matches
- Fireworks / Pesticides / Motor Oil / Paint Thinner
- Nail Polish & Remover / Ammunition / Liquid Bleach / Stern
- Aerosols / Kerosene / Pool Chemicals / Chemistry Sets
- Batteries / Loaded Weapons / Weed Killer / Ammonia
Remember to dispose of all perishables goods including food and plants that may die or spoil in transit.
Make note to empty your refrigerator and freezers at least 24 hours prior to loading and keep the appliance doors open, dry them out thoroughly to prevent the growth of mold and odor in the units.
(The van line agent may agree to transport perishables if they are properly packed and require no servicing in transit and the shipment delivery is less than 150 miles and within 24 hours.)
Please note that there are some articles that are not accepted for transportation by movers under any circumstances, primarily because the van line agent assumes no responsibility should they end up that these items come into their possession without their knowledge.
While these articles do not create a physical threat, all irreplaceable or sentimental items should be carried with you during the move.
For example:
- Address Books / Files / Personal Video Tapes
- Check Books / Jewelry / Sterling Silver
- Computer Software/Disks / Medicine
- Air Line Tickets / Financial Statements / Photos and Albums
- Car Keys Furs Research Projects
- Bond /Deeds/Tax Records / School Records
