WHAT HAPPENS IF MOVERS LOSE MY STUFF?

 


MOVERS LOSE MY STUFF

    When we say, "The moving company lost items," we worry because we don't know what will happen or if we will get our things back. But there is a way to fix it, so please do it immediately. Don't let any moving company off the hook if they don't do a perfect job. 

    A reliable mover will do everything they can to find our missing items; if they can't, they'll make good on their promise to pay back. No amount of money will bring back personal items lost during a move, but it may show the moving company how they should have handled the situation if it had been. When the movers put our things in the new vehicle, they might lose them. It could also happen if a company uses the same vehicle for two different moves and leaves an item in the back of the truck unattended. If movers deliver our boxes to the wrong house, they may be able to get in touch with the owner of the boxes.




Before moving day first of all you should learn about long distance moving tips to secure your migration and prevent to stuff losing.

No matter what happens, it is important to call the moving company and file a claim if household items go missing during a move. Full valuation coverage is usually recommended when moving because it costs more than our regular moving insurance but is based on how much our things are worth. If the moving company lost items, we would get more money, which makes sense if the item or goods were expensive.


If any of our things got lost during the move, we could file a complaint with the FMCSA. So, it would help to write down the missing things and their worth. It is smart to take pictures of everything we own and carry them with us. We'll have something to check against when the transfer is completed to ensure everything goes smoothly. We have several months from the move date to file a claim if we think the moving company took any of our things. It is best to have supporting materials on hand. For example, if we find something missing from our luggage when it's being delivered, we'll need the right paperwork. 

    The responsible mover has one month to acknowledge receiving our claim and three months to respond. During that time, they can make a settlement offer.


We can always sue the company in the end. The FMCSA can be helpful if a moving company steals our stuff, but it is not a law firm and cannot represent us in court. 

    If the mover can't agree, we must stand up for our rights. Many potential customers will see our warning, and the moving company will have another chance to answer and fix our problem.
