This is the carriers minimum liability. You, the customer, are agreeing in writing, with the mover, to share liability for loss and damage, even though the mover is handling your goods.

An example of this option would be:

A 200 pound piece of furniture is damaged, regardless of the damage, you would receive $60.00 towards the repair or value of the item. (30 cents x 200 lbs.) Likewise a 10 lb. floorlamp, you would receive $3.00. (30 cents x 10 lbs.)

Cost: None. Provided at no charge

Requirements: The customer writes on the bill of lading," 30 cents per pound per article" and signs appropriately.

The customer declares the actual value of the goods being moved and writes this on the bill of lading. This is the mover's maximum liability to you. The minimum is $2.00 x the estimated weight of the goods, as provided by the estimate, or $5000.00, whichever is more.

In an event of a claim the damaged item will be settled on the basis of its actual cash value (depreciated value).

Cost: $10.00 per $1,000 of value. ( ie. $10,000 of value = $100.00)

Requirements: The customer writes on the bill of lading the value of the goods and signs appropriately.

The customer will need to determine the value of their shipment.  Shur-Way will request a price for the value of the shipment, and request a certificate be issued prior to your move date. 

FULL REPLACEMENT VALUE IS NORMALLY $6.00 PER LB  
I.E. 12,000LBS= $72,000 IN VALUE.  DAMAGED ITEMS WILL ALWAYS BE REPAIRED FIRST THEN REPLACED, IF THE REPAIR DID NOT WORK. THE ITEM WILL BE COVERED AT THE OPTION YOU CHOOSE.

This trip transit insurance is from a third party insurance company and offered by Shur-Way Moving. You, the customer, receive a certificate or policy of insurance. Deductibles are available designed to save you money. The policies are available as a zero deductible, a $250 deductible, and a $500 deductible.

Requirements: The customer writes on the bill of lading the value of the goods, followed by the letters "FVP", followed by the chosen deductible amount and "DED", then signs appropriately.

Under Option B, in consideration of a reduction in the valuation charge, the shipper assumes responsibility for the first $250 of any claim.

Under Option C, in consideration of a reduction in the valuation charge, the shipper assumes responsibility for the first $500 of any claim. Please note that insurance must be signed before your move begins.
