You probably don’t pay too much attention when planning a move to security and safety. House removals, like all other activities, are not immune to security or safety concerns.
You don’t need to worry about your belongings making it to your new house safety services when you move. You should still give it some consideration because your household goods will be moved by them. Ask about the insurance of a company that moves houses. The majority of companies require you to choose from a range of different carrier liability tariffs, but this is not an insurance.
You can choose the level of liability that the carrier will accept for the goods you ship. This is subject to some rules. Ask who the carrier’s liability is if you are concerned. This policy will vary from country to country. The carrier must offer you a replacement plan to cover the loss or damage of your goods.
In general, you’ll be given two choices. First, you will be offered a fixed amount of money for your shipment value within specified parameters. If an article was lost, destroyed or stolen while under the care of the house removals company they could either restore the item to its original condition or exchange it with another article. They will also pay for a new item.
In the second case, the value per pound of an article will be determined. The liability in this situation is limited to actual weight multiplied by pound value of an article that has been lost, destroyed or damaged.
First, you will have to pay for it. Second, the liability is limited to a minimum amount and it is usually included in moving costs. The second method allows for a much lower amount than average household items.
You will be asked if there is anything that you possess of exceptional value. They will then ask you to declare any items of extraordinary value. If you wish, you can also make an inventory of items with extraordinary values that will be added to your contract. You will receive reimbursement for any such items if they are lost, stolen or damaged, up to the maximum coverage selected.
You will also have to declare the value of a large item, such as a car, spa or other vehicle. These items may be charged a premium by removal companies when moving them. They may not take responsibility for items inside the vehicle or car. Nor will they accept responsibility for components like window wipers that are not working properly.
Coordination is needed between many people to make a safe, secure trip. Accidents and thefts are possible. Avoid being sorry and be safe.
