Basic Value Protection The valuation statement on the bill of lading governs this: “The minimum coverage for moving companies in Massachusetts required by law is $0.60 per pound per article up to $10.000 (it’sit’s included in the rate given), and it is called carrier liability insurance”.
As a licensed common carrier within the state of MA, Flash Moving & Storage provides Basic Liability coverage for all household goods moved. Under this coverage, the Carrier’sCarrier’s maximum legal liability is limited to $.60/lb per article for move-related lost and/or damaged items. If the Shipper does not select additional coverage, this coverage is automatically provided. There is no charge for this option.
However, more coverage is needed for most moves. If an item is lost or damaged, you will receive $0.60 per pound per damaged item. For instance, if an item is damaged during the move, an item that you bought for $200.00 and weighed 100 pounds, you would only get $60.00 as compensation. Extra coverage is optional. You can consider purchasing.
Actual Cash Value (ACV). For clients seeking full protection, Flash Moving & Storage offers Actual Cash Value protection. This option is provided for additional charge and is based on the full value of the shipment declared by the Shipper.
For move-related lost and/or damaged items documented at the time of delivery and at the Carrier’s discretion, Flash Moving & Storage will cover one of the following amounts*:
– Repair the item to its condition prior to the loss as when it was received by the Carrier;
– Pay the Shipper for the cost of such repairs;
– Replace the item with like kind and quality or pay the Shipper for the cost of replacing the item with like kind and quality.
Remember, it is crucial to declare high-value items (items valued over $100 per pound). High-value items may require additional forms and valuation coverage. All items of extraordinary/unusual value must be packed and unpacked by the Carrier for control, receipt, and liability. Shippers must have these items packed and unpacked and acknowledge receipt and condition at delivery time.
