Unfortunately, even with professional, careful movers, damages do occur. We would like to continue our relationship with you by providing a quick, fair response to your claim. 

Claims

The Department of Transportation, in 49 CFR 375.213, requires that each household goods carrier must furnish to each of the prospective individual customers a written description of the customer and inquiry handling procedure established and maintenance by the carrier.

Claim Process

Please contact our Claim Department as soon as possible to request a claim form . Claims MUST be filed in writing (or electronically) within 30 days of your move date. Once you submit this form and all the relevant attachments to support your claim, our manager will contact you to discuss your claim. In most cases, we can repair items/walls to your satisfaction.
