FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Valuation is NOT insurance. Valuation offered by Van Line carriers is carrier contractual liability based on the weight of your household goods. It is established by the California P.U.C as $0.60 per pound per article that is lost or damaged. This limits the moving company from paying out the actual value of an article, in the event of a loss or damage. It allows them to pay a minimal amount on damage or loss based entirely on the weight of the item itself. For more information on purchasing additional insurance please viset Baker International.
