Transit Protection (Valuation)

Although we are one of the best moving companies in Boston," we are nonetheless human, and upon occasion, mistakes do happen. We want to make sure you are fully protected during your move, so when moving with A-Plus Moving & Storage, you can choose to purchase a valuation option that protects your shipment. We offer both select item(s) depreciated value as well as total depreciated value. In the event that you decline this coverage, the shipment will be protected by A-Plus Moving & Storages Basic Valuation. Regardless of which option is selected, any and all claims must be filed with A-Plus Moving & Storage in writing within 15 days of completing the move.

Transit Protection (Valuation) is NON-REFUNDABLE once purchased.


Basic Valuation

A-Plus Moving & Storage's Basic Valuation protects customers for up to $500.00 in total repair or replacement cost per move. Above $500.00, A-Plus Moving & Storage, as a licensed common carrier in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, has a maximum legal liability by state law of $0.60 per pound per article. Basic valuation is not insurance.

Select Item(s) Depreciated Value

Select Item(s) Depreciated Value is based on the cumulative value of the items listed under the "item description" section of the Select Item(s) Depreciated Value Listing. A-Plus Moving & Storage requires that this form be completed by any customer who wishes to purchase Select Item(s) Depreciated Value. Each item should be listed with enough detail so that it cannot be mistaken for another item. Any item not listed on this sheet or in the "property description" area of the Agreement to Insure (issued on move day) will only be covered by Basic Valuation.

Total Depreciated Value

Total Depreciated Value is based on the cumulative depreciated value of the entire shipment on the day of the move.
