What is Not Covered: Exclusions Understanding the exclusions list will help you prepare better for your move. In addition to the list, we have also provided additional information for each item to help you understand why the items are excluded.
• Any items that were packed by the customer and not by our movers cannot be covered. Why: We cannot be sure how the box, crate or bin was packed and if it was packed correctly. Further, many boxes are used several times and their structure may not be adequate to prevent damage.

• Customers who refuse to use furniture pads to protect any furniture item during the move will not be covered for any scratches or damages.
Why: Hiring professional movers is only half the battle. Furniture pads are extremely important in ensuring that your items are packed safely for transport. Special care items, including glass, glass tops, mirrors, fine art, clocks, electronics or high value items without proper packing and preparation.
Why: The best example of these are plasma and LCD TV’s. These items must be crated or packed in a box before the move. We will not be able to move items without properly packaging due to the liability of the LED screen. .
