Terms & Conditions

All Distance Movers wants to ensure that you make an informed decision regarding the coverage of your goods during your relocation. On the day of your move, before your move commences, you will need to select one of the valuation options on the Bill of Lading and complete the Declaration of Items of Extraordinary Value. Please take the time to review your options so that you can make a decision that will provide you with peace of mind on moving day.

Option A: Declared Value As a licensed common carrier, All Distance Movers is required to accept a minimal amount of liability for your goods while they are in our custody. There is no charge for this option however our maximum legal liability for loss or damage is an amount equal to $0.60 per pound per article. For example, if a chair weighs ten pounds and it is damaged or lost during the move, the shipper is entitled to a maximum of $6.00 of compensation.

Option B: Transit Damage Protection (TDP) This option provides the customer with coverage for loss or damage up to $500.00 with no deductible. All Distance Mover’s liability beyond the first $500.00 of loss or damage is limited to $0.60 per pound per article and the cost of this coverage is $75.00.

Option C: Actual Cash Value (ACV) This option requires you to declare the value of the entire shipment. If All Distance Movers is responsible for any loss or damage during your move then the value of the property lost or damaged will be the least of the following amounts:

  • The actual cash value of that property immediately before the loss

  • The cost of reasonably restoring that property to its condition immediately before the loss

  • The cost of replacing that property with substantially identical property.

You must provide an accurate value of the entire shipment or you will incur a co-insurance penalty (payment in the event of damage would be limited to the ratio of declared value of the shipment to the actual value of the shipment). Please note that depreciation is applied to the value of goods under the ACV option.
