Protection for your Possessions
You've spent a lifetime collecting personal possessions and furnishings that have both intrinsic and sentimental value. American Red Ball pledges to handle them with the care they deserve. We offer two levels of protection for your goods during the move. The one you select sets the limits of your mover's lability for any loss or damage to your belongings. Please take time to review and understand your options.
Option 1 - Full Replacement Valuation provides the most comprehensive valuation coverage available.
You will be asked to:
- Disclose the lump sum value of your shipment.
- Select $0, $250 or $500 deductible.
The price for this plan varies with the total value you place on your goods and level of deduction you select.
Option 2 - Release Rate Valuation is the most economical option available, but it offers the least protection against loss or damage during the move, as required by the F.M.C.S.A. It should be used only if your goods have a very low replacement value.
Under this option, your mover assumes liability for no more than 60 cents per pound per article. This means that claims will be settled based upon the individual weight of the aritcle(s) being moved. For example: If a 5 pound laptop were lost or destroyed, your mover's liability would be no more than $3.00 (5 pounds multiplied by 60 cents).
There is no charge for this minimum coverage.
For complete details ask your American Red Ball salesperson to provide you with a copy of American Red Ball's Valuation Plans brochure.
