However, if you specifically list these items on the shipping documents, your Move and Go is still responsible for their safe delivery.


  • RELEASED VALUE PROTECTION
    1. Released Value Protection is the most economical option because it doesn’t cost anything. It is offered by Move and Go’s at no additional charge, but the protection is minimal. Under this option, Move and Go is responsible for no more than 60 cents per pound per article. For example, if your Move and Go lost or damaged a 50-inch TV weighing 25 pounds, you would only receive $15 (60 cents x 25 pounds).
    2. If you choose this option, you must sign a specific statement on the bill of lading or contract to agree to it. Just remember that you will only be compensated according to the weight of the item, not its actual value. If you do not select Released Value Protection, your shipment will automatically be transported at the Full Value Protection.
    3. Move and Go has the right to inspect and repair any alleged damage. Shipper waives all claims and neither Move and Go nor any person or Representative acting on its behalf is liable or negligent for any damage to the interior or exterior of any residence including, but not limited to walls, floors, ceilings, stairs, banisters, carpets, plumbing, doorways, driveways, walkways, landscaping, etc. Move and Go does not accept liability for firearms, jewelry, cash, bank notes, any financial instruments, hazardous materials, or liquids.


  • EXTRAORDINARY VALUE ITEMS
    1. Move and Go has limited legal responsibility for loss or damage to items of “extraordinary value”.
    2. Extraordinary Value Items are all items valued at more than $100.00 per pound which exceeds the recovery rate.
    3. Such items are for example but are not limited to, jewelry, china, rugs, silverware, furs, antiques, computer software, paintings, fine art, custom furniture, statues, electronic devices, instruments, etc.
    4. If any of such items were packed by the Shipper, Move and Go will not be responsible to reimburse the Shipper for any damages to such property.
    5. In addition, the Shipper must notify Move and Go in writing about any such items before the move.


  • CLAIM AND REFUNDS
    1. Neither Move and Go nor any person or Representative acting on its behalf shall be liable for the loss or damage of the goods unless the claim is made in writing and supported by pictures, value, and weight. As a condition precedent, all outstanding balances due to Move and Go must be paid in full before any claim can be made.
    2. Move and Go shall not be liable for loss or damage occurring after the property has been delivered to or receipted for by the consignee or shipper, or the authorized agent of either. When Move and Go is directed to unload or to deliver property (or render any services) at a place or places at which the consignee or its agent is not present, the property shall be at the risk of the owner after unloading or delivery.
    3. Any claim for loss, damage or overcharge shall be in writing and filed with Move and Gowithin ninety (90) days after a reasonable time for delivery has lapsed, provided, however, that such claim period shall be nine (9) months with respect to Long Distance Jobs. As a condition precedent to any claim adjustment or payment, said claim shall be accompanied by the original paid bill for transportation and original bill of lading, if not previously surrendered to Move and Go. Move and Go may require certified or sworn statement of claim.
    4. Where Move and Go is directed to load property from (or render any services at) a place or places at which the consignor or its agent is not present, the property shall be at the risk of the owner before loading.
    5. Move and Go’s liability with regard to sets or matched pieces shall be limited to repair or replacement of the lost or damaged piece or pieces only, and only to the extent set forth in Section 16 of this Agreement, and shall not extend to repair, replacement or recovering of the entire set, but in no event to exceed the released value.
    6. Our aim is to resolve any claim as soon as possible when receiving your Move and Go claims submission form, images, and relevant documentation regarding your claim.
    7. The claim must be submitted in writing to Move and Go. After you submit your claim, Move and Go has 30 days to acknowledge receipt of your claim. Move and Go has 120 days to provide you with a disposition. Move and Go is entitled to 60-day extensions if the claim cannot be processed or disposed of within 120 days.
    8. Claimant/submitter of the forgoing claim to Move and Go hereby makes a solemn oath to the truth of the statements contained herein and exhibits attached, hereto, and that no material fact is withheld that should be included in this claim report. Once this claim/form has been reported/submitted claimant has 48 hours to report any additional issue, after which no additional items or issues can be added to the claim or be raised as a new claim to Move and Go.
    9. In the circumstances that a claim is open and or requested prior to the completion of delivery or services, Move and Go & Storage reserves the right to issue a refund or compensation for the claim only after the goods have been delivered and or the service has been marked completed.
    10. If you have a claim to make, please contact us to request a claim form. Once you submit your Move and Go claim form, you will be emailed a copy of the form for your own records.
    11. A claim cannot usually be resolved immediately and may take some time before items can be inspected and repaired or replaced. We appreciate your cooperation and patience in this process. You can expect the following from the process:
    12. We take your feedback and claims very seriously. Once we have received all the information regarding your claim including any supporting pictures or evidence our claims team will be in touch to begin investigating your claim.
    13. Your appointed contact in our claims department will be your primary contact as we attempt to resolve your claim. 
    14. If you accept an offer presented by your claims Representative, Move and Go will compensate you accordingly. Any payment you accept shall constitute a waiver of all further claims you may have against Move and Go or its Representatives as a result of your move. However, if the parties are unable to agree upon a settlement of claims, Move and Go will work with an independent arbitrator where appropriate for resolution of any and all remaining issues.


  • PROPERTY DAMAGES
    1. If Move and Go or its Representative cause damages to your real property while performing the Services and you timely file a claim for damages, Move and Go will only assume the following liability for damages, provided that all your damages, whether to real or personal property shall be subject to the maximum total per order limitations described above ($1,000 for Move and Go’s Only Help/Move and Go Services and $2,000 for Truck and Move and Go’s/Transportation):
    2. Damages to Wood Floors

In the event that wood floors are damaged, Move and Go will only repair or replace the local area damaged. Move and Go will not resurface or refinish the entire floor and does not guarantee an exact match with any original pre-Services finish. In addition, Move and Go will only offer a reasonable market rate, in its sole discretion, for the repair of the local area damaged.

  1. Notwithstanding the foregoing 

Move and Go will not pay for any minor nicks or scratches, or dents to wood flooring that, in Move and Go’s sole discretion, may be expected as part of the completion of the Services. You should cover your wood flooring with protective materials, including, but not limited to, ram board or other floor protection rolls, doormats, cardboard, rugs, or runners, prior to receiving any Services. You should also ensure that any furniture that you need to be moved is placed on sliders or that sliders are made available to Move and Go’s. In addition, if you do not have any coverage for your wood flooring, you should not permit Move and Go’s to use any dollies or other hand trucks, which may be more likely to cause damage to your wood floors.

  1. Damages to Handrails, Walls, Doors, and Drywall

Neither Move and Go nor any person or Representative acting on its behalf shall be liable for what Move and Go, in its sole discretion, determines are minor nicks, scratches, or scuffs to the real property, including, but not limited to, any paint damage, that you may incur as a result of Move and Go’s’ performance of the Services. Move and Go may, but shall not be required to, assume liability for what Move and Go determines, in its sole discretion, constitutes significant damage to handrails, walls, doors, and/or drywall. In such case, Move and Go will, at its option, either (i) repair the damage to the extent necessary to restore it to the same condition in which it existed prior to your receipt of the Services or (ii) pay you for the cost of such repairs based on a reasonable market rate for such services, as determined by Move and Go in its sole discretion.

  1. Damages to Mailboxes

If Move and Go damages your mailbox while performing the Services, Move and Go will offer to, at its option, either (1) repair the damage to the extent necessary to restore it to the same condition in which it existed prior to your receipt of the Services, (2) pay you for the cost of such repairs based on a reasonable market rate for such services, as determined by Move and Go in its sole discretion, (3) replace the damaged mailbox with one of like kind and quality, or (4) pay you for the cost of a replacement.

  1. Other Damages

Neither Move and Go nor any person or Representative acting on its behalf will be liable for any other damages to your real property, including, but not limited to, any damages to lawns, landscaping, sprinklers, sidewalks, or driveways (including, without limitation, any cosmetic damage to driveways or other concrete or paved areas). You should not allow any transportation or other vehicles to park on your driveway or sidewalks if they are not capable of supporting such vehicles or if you are concerned that they may damage your driveway, sidewalks, or lawn. You should notify Move and Go prior to any Third Party Company arriving to perform the Services so that they may make arrangements to park on a street or other designated area.

  1. IN NO EVENT SHALL MOVE AND GO OR ANY OF ITS AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE TO SHIPPER OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, REVENUE, PROFIT, OR LOSS OF DATA OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGE WAS FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER OR NOT CONTRACTOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, EXEMPT IN THE CASE OF MOVE AND GO’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
  2. The walkthrough form may be completed by Move and Go prior to Pickup and following Delivery. Usage of this form depends on Move and Go at the arrival to the pickup location.
  3. Move and Go will be going through rooms with the Shipper taking notes of the preexisting or any resulting damages to both items and property.
  4. At the Pickup location, the list that is made is afterward compared to the list made at Delivery. Any new damages that result from poor handling or transportation will be determined based on any differences between the completed walkthrough forms. Move and Go will not be held responsible any damages that were identified in the walkthrough form at Pickup, or for any damages that failed to be identified in the walkthrough following delivery.
  5. Move and Go’s have the right to take photos of the damages discovered during the walkthrough.


  • ARBITRATION
    1. The neutral arbitration program has been designed to give neither party any particular advantage. If a dispute arises between Move and Go and the Shipper arbitration may be a mutually beneficial alternative to help resolve the dispute. Section 49 CFR Section 375.211 provides that a Move and Go must have a program in place to give the Shippers an Arbitration alternative. Arbitration is optional and not required under Federal law.
    2. A. Summary of the arbitration process: Arbitration is an alternative to courtroom litigation. It provides each party to the dispute to present their cases and allows a neutral third-party arbitrator to decide the merits of each side’s case. Arbitration subject to this agreement shall be conducted via written submission and, subject to the arbitrator’s discretion, through telephonic appearance. After the initial filing fees have been paid and the arbitrator selected, the initiating party or “Claimant” must submit a written brief summarizing their legal position and factual claims. All supporting documentation must be included with the initial arbitration brief. Copies of all documents must be submitted to all parties involved in the arbitration. Upon receipt of the Claimant’s arbitration brief and supporting documents, the responding party or “Respondent” will have 30 days to file their responsive arbitration brief and supporting documentation. Further deadlines and timetables are subject to the arbitrator’s discretion.
    3. Legal effects: If the arbitration alternative is chosen, then any decision made by the arbitrator will be legally binding. Additionally, an arbitration decision may not be appealed in a court of law. All parties agree that the Arbitrators decision will be based exclusively on the governing United States Federal Law without regard to conflicting State laws or regulations.
    4. Applicable costs: Each party is responsible for the costs associated with the arbitration. A benefit to the arbitration alternative may be that it is less expensive than traditional litigation. Each party is responsible for 50% of the costs associated with securing the arbitrator and 100% of their expenses, including but not limited to attorney fees. There is a $250 filing fee FOR EACH PARTY and a supplemental charge of $50 administration fee. Call Move and Go at the phone number on the front of this form for ADR processing forms.


  • LONG-DISTANCE AND PICK-UP AND DELIVERY SCHEDULE
    1. Local
      1. Pickup Time Window: Move and Go cannot guarantee pickup or delivery window at Local moves. However, we can provide an approximate arrival time. Neither Move and Go nor any person or Representative acting on its behalf shall be liable for delay caused by highway obstruction, faulty or impassable highways, or lack of capacity of any highway, bridge, or ferry, or caused by breakdown or mechanical defect of vehicles or equipment, or from any cause other than the negligence of Move and Go; nor shall Move and Go be bound to transport by any particular schedule, means, vehicle or otherwise than with reasonable dispatch. Move and Go shall have the right, in case of physical necessity, to forward said property by any carrier or route between the point of shipment and the point of destination. 
      2. For safety reasons, we use GPS for Commercial Vehicles. These GPS devices are programmed to use routes for commercial vehicles ONLY, based on the vehicle’s height, width, and weight. GPS may avoid routes with low clearance bridges, overpass prohibited roads for commercial vehicles, overweight, Pkwy, and similar. GPS used by Move and Go may not show the same routes as other software applications, e.g., Google Maps, Apple Maps, and similar applications.
    2. Long Distance
      1. Pickup window

Depends on the job size and Move and Go availability. Usually around two to three days, during which time the Shipper must be available at all times.

  1. Pickup and Delivery schedule and service options

Guaranteed service on or between agreed dates is an optional service that is available to you at an additional cost. This optional extra service guarantees that your shipment will be picked up, transported to the destination, and delivered on specific guaranteed dates.

  1. Per diem rate for the delayed delay
    1. If Move and Go fails to provide the service within the date range as agreed, Shipper is entitled to be compensated at a predetermined amount or a daily rate (per diem of $30.00) regardless of the expense the Shipper may actually have incurred as a result of Move and Go’s failure to perform. Absent selecting and paying for the optional extra service guaranteeing specific pick-up and delivery dates, Move and Go is only required to pick up and deliver your property with reasonable dispatch and in a reasonable time. Move and Go and the Shipper hereto acknowledge and agree that the per diem rate set forth above shall constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty and shall be Shipper’s exclusive remedy in the event of Move and Go’s delay. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified in such subsections bear a reasonable relationship to, and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to, the probable loss likely to be incurred in connection with any failure by Move and Go to perform Pick-Up or Delivery on the estimated date(s), (iii) one of the reasons for Move and Go and the Shipper reaching an agreement as to such amounts was the uncertainty and cost of litigation regarding the question of actual damages, and (iv) Move and Go and the Shipper negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length.
    2. Each Shipper will be given an estimated delivery window on the estimate for services. Move and Go will do its best to deliver in the delivery window.
  2. Delivery

Move and Go will try and complete the delivery in a timely manner and neither Move and Go nor any person or Representative acting on its behalf shall be held liable for any physical conditions or circumstances preventing the completion of delivery services. If Move and Go’srepresentative can not deliver the goods by the usual means such as service elevator or stairs, an additional charge may be applied (hoisting, using additional equipment, etc.).

  1. Long Distance Delivery Service Options
    1. Standard Service (S.S.): estimated delivery is up to 21 (twenty-one) business days from the date indicated as first available for delivery (not from the pickup date). Any oral promises made regarding delivery or pickup dates and times are mere estimates. Move and Go guarantees delivery to take place within 30 business days of the date first available for delivery. (time calculations exclude days in storage). Any changes to the order will extend this time.
    2. Premium Guaranteed Service (P.G.S.): This optional service guarantees delivery on a specific delivery date. In addition to the line haul and accessorial charges, the fee for “Premium guaranteed service” is 42% of the line haul total estimated charge. If guaranteed delivery service is not selected by the Shipper and included as a line item charge on the estimate and bill of lading, then standard delivery service will apply.
    3. The delivery time frame may change based on the time of year, weather conditions, road conditions, other acts of God, delivery schedule, geographic location of the move, and other unknown factors. Move and Go will do its best to meet any requested pickup or delivery dates. Business days do not include holidays or weekends. Move and Go, Inc. shall not be liable for delay caused by highway obstruction or faulty or impassable highways, or lack of capacity of any highway, bridge, or ferry, caused by breakdown or mechanical defect of vehicles/ equipment. 
  2. Guaranteed Pickup or Delivery

This service is not always available. Unless otherwise specified in writing and incorporated by reference into this tariff Move and Go does not offer a delivery service other than the 30 business day outside delivery period/window guarantee as explained further below.

  1. Shipment Consolidation and exclusive use of a vehicle (straight truck)

Unless otherwise stated in writing, a Shipper’s property could be consolidated with another Shipper’s property on the same truck while transported. Unless “exclusive use of vehicle” service is ordered the property will not stay on the same truck that performed the pickup. To help organize and consolidate shipments it is not unusual that the property will be offloaded, temporarily stored, and then transported on different trucks or by subcontractors. Exclusive use of vehicle service is offered exclusively at the discretion of Move and Go. 

  1. Expedited Service or Rush

This service is offered exclusively at the discretion of Move and Go at a rate as incorporated by reference into this tariff. This service is available when a Shipper needs a rush pickup. Delivery is completed in the standard delivery window. 


  • ESTIMATE REVISION
    1. Your total estimated cost is based on the estimated weight/cubic Feet or time it will take to move your belongings, excluding cost for boxes if packing. The estimated weight is based on the inventory you provided to your Moving Consultant or Moving coordinator. If the inventory, or access information, you provide is incomplete or inaccurate, actual charges may vary. Please contact your Moving Consultant or Moving coordinator if you have any additional items or information to add. We understand logistics and inventory changes may occur from the original information provided to your Moving Consultant or Moving Coordinator. Therefore, we allow changes up to 3 business days from the start of your move.
    2. In accordance with 49 CFR § 305.403(a)(6)(ii) and/or 49 CFR § 305.405(b)(7)(ii):
      1. If prior to or on the day of the scheduled pick-up the Shipper tenders more property or makes a change to the initial order for which they received an estimate; Move and Go may either (1) undertake the job with the additional property, in which case the Shipper would only be required to pay 10% more than the initial estimate to receive the property on a non-binding estimate or 100% of the binding estimate and the remaining balance will be billed after the 30-day deferment (billable); r (2) Move and Goand Shipper may execute a NEW ESTIMATE document, prior to Loading or otherwise beginning the job, this new estimate given prior to loading will serve as the only active estimate for which charges will be calculated.
      2. The Revised Written New Estimate must only be used when the Shipper changes their order for moving services after the original written estimate has been issued, but before moving services have begun. Changes could include ordering additional services or moving additional items. A New Estimate should only be used in circumstances where the Shipper has made substantial changes to their order for moving services. Most importantly, in the cases where a New Estimate is necessary, the Shipper must be given a fully complete and itemized copy of the document listing the new total estimated price and additional services. This is done only on Long Distance jobs, jobs going into the Storage, or when the Shipper requires it prior to the pickup. Assuming the consumer had ordered additional services or changed their original moving order, the moving services may only begin after the Shipper has reviewed, approved, signed, and been given a copy of the onsite new estimate.
      3. Move and Go may provide you with a new estimate (New Onsite Visual Estimate). If you have not signed the revised New Estimate, and Move and Go loads the truck, then Federal regulation requires that Move and Go has reaffirmed the original estimate and cannot demand additional payment at delivery for the additional items. Any balance due above the binding estimate would need to be billed by Move and Go thirty days after delivery.
      4. The Shipper should notify Move and Go of modifications at least three business days before the scheduled pick-up date, to avoid surprises at pick-up! On the day of pick-up if any change to the previous estimate (original), your Move and Go may offer you a newly revised estimate listing all costs for the entire move including the additional services ordered or additional items to be moved, if any. The total price will be the same as the price listed on the estimate if your inventory’s estimated weight/volume has not changed and if you do not require additional services. If your inventory’s estimated weight/volume increases or if you require additional services, however, then your price may change based on the rate per pound and cubic feet stated in this estimate.
      5. If you do not agree to pay for the additional services/items/added hours/weight, Move and Go retains the right to move only the items, and perform only the services, that were originally agreed upon during booking.


  • SPECIAL HANDLING, ASSEMBLY, AND DISASSEMBLY
    1. Special handling services defined by Move and Go & Storage are packing, handling, and assembly/disassembly services for heavy, valuable, fragile, and unique items, and or moving requests. Special handling services require additional labor, skills, equipment, planning, and materials, which subsequently require a special handling fee.
    2. When booking your move, the Shipper is responsible for clearly defining all of their items and required moving services, Move and Go will inform the Shipper which items or required moving services have an associated special handling fee or service charge. If a Shipper’s furniture or item requires special handling that was not disclosed to Move and Go during the booking process or disclosed to Move and Go with a minimum of 5 business days’ notice prior to their move day Move and Go reserves the right to not disassemble the furniture item. Move and Go requests that Shippers seek expert and professional furniture disassembly services for complex and special items that require special handling prior to their move day so that Move and Go can move the disassembled item to the drop-off location. Move and Go will not assemble such items at the drop off location. Move and Go may, in its sole discretion, attempt to move such items if possible without disassembly. If the item can not be moved without disassembly, and special handling is required but not requested, Move and Go reserves the right to move the item, and neither Move and Go nor any person or Representative acting on its behalf will be held liable for any damages or claims. The Shipper will be responsible for sourcing the appropriate experts to disassemble and assemble the furniture for it to be moved safely. Neither Move and Go nor any person or Representative acting on its behalf will be held liable to refund the charged items that are not moved due to the Shipper’s inability to inform Move and Go of special handling requirements.
    3. Additional padding/protection handling is applicable for furniture that consists of one or more of the following, but is not limited to: marble, any type of stone, glass, crystal, mirrors, screens (Pelotons, etc), or picture frames larger than 4 ft x 4 ft. These items might be subject to additional protection with moving blankets, cardboard and even wooden crating; thus resulting in additional fees.
    4. Additional disassembly/reassembly handling is applicable for furniture that requires Move and Go’s to take out 20 screws or more or spend 20-plus minutes to disassemble/reassemble. Items that fit under this category include, but are not limited to, armoires, bookcases, shelves, cabinets, entertainment centers, beds (storage, captains, canopy, electric, loft, trundle, bunk, adjustable), sofas, wall units, etc.
    5. Additional heavy item handling is applicable for any piece, or furniture that weighs more than 200 lbs. Examples of such items include, but are not limited to; pianos, large tables, gym equipment (ellipticals, treadmills, etc), armoires, large dressers (triple, double), recliners, electronic appliances (fridges, washers, dryers), sculptures, art installations, items made out of heavy stones, heavy metals or full wood, etc.
    6. Move and Go does not assemble out-of-the-box furniture of any kind. Move and Go will move boxed items but does not offer assembly services for unboxing furniture items.
    7. Move and Go will not assemble furniture that was previously disassembled by another individual or company (DBO). Move and Go will move the disassembled pieces however it is the responsibility of the Shipper to assemble that piece of furniture. Neither Move and Go nor any person or Representative acting on its behalf will be held liable for any damages or claims regarding the damage of items disassembled and packed by the Shipper.
    8. Move and Go reserves the right to refuse to disassemble or move pieces that require special instructions or training in order to be moved. Such items include, but are not limited to; gym equipment, built-in furniture installations, pool tables, refrigerators, and commercial equipment.
    9. Move and Go reserves the right to refuse to move or leave behind an item or piece of furniture based on the crew foreman’s assessment of the situation, with the main factors being the safety of all parties and potential damages that could occur; eg. The foreman concludes that moving a piece is dangerous to the environment (walls, floors, doors), the state of the piece (possible damages), and most importantly the health and safety of Move and Go’s, Shippers, and bystanders.
    10. Neither Move and Go nor any person or Representative acting on its behalf will be held liable for any damages caused when assembling and disassembling furniture. It is at the discretion of Move and Go to determine if an item requires additional handling fees due to the size and complexity of the requested assembly and disassembly services.
    11. It is the responsibility of the Shipper to fully disclose the true nature of the size and complexity of their items. Move and Go has the right to charge additional handling fees or refuse to move an item if, on the day of a move, large and complex items are present which were not fully disclosed at the time of booking.
    12. It is the responsibility of the Shipper to contact the manufacturer of an item if it requires specific handling and care for the manufacturer to send their technicians to disassemble the item prior to Move and Go picking up the item to be moved.
    13. Move and Go provides a variety of furniture handling services, some of which require special handling that must be communicated prior to the move as they may require an additional fee and resources to complete the move safely.
    14. Large wall units must be communicated at the time of booking to ensure resources are available to handle such items, an additional handling fee will apply.
    15. Armoire, china cabinets, pool tables, pianos, exercise machines, and similar oversized items that cannot be moved in one piece due to size or fragile material such as glass or compressed wood require an additional handling fee as they must be disassembled and reassembled. Neither Move and Go nor any person or Representative acting on its behalf will be held liable for damage caused to PRESSWOOD furniture due to the fact of its many weaknesses and instabilities compared to true wood furniture. It is a short-term furniture option made from wood pulp and other wood and paper manufacturing waste products. Pressboard has a laminate paper covering with a wood grain pattern, which if damaged, cannot be repaired, unlike true wood furniture. Furniture made of pressboard ranges from tables and bookshelves to nightstands and desks. It normally comes in a box, and its pieces must be put together. We highly recommend the Shipper disassemble these items to insure safe transport. Move and Go can do this upon request, and extra labor charges will be applied on guaranteed price moves only.
    16. Memory Foam Mattresses: Due to the manufacturer’s statements, memory foam mattresses have a high probability of foam shifting internally during the moving process. If this occurs, the mattress may not be repairable. Due to this fact, Move and Go is not responsible for internal damages to memory foam mattresses caused by the normal course of moving.
    17. If you request the reassembly of any of your personal property, neither Move and Go nor Move and Go (if different from Move and Go) will be liable for any damages that may arise as a result of the assembly, attempted assembly, or failed assembly of such items, including, but not limited to, items containing particleboard, chip-core, or pressboard.
    18. Attics/Crawlspaces: Move and Go’s crew cannot go into unfinished attic spaces (i.e., those with plywood floors and exposed insulation) or crawl spaces. The Shipper will be responsible for moving inventory from these spaces to the home’s living space if it is to be loaded onto the moving van.
    19. Prohibited Items
      1. Move and Go will not reassemble Baby cribs, Bunk beds, Water beds, Adjustable Beds, Swings, Trampolines, and similar items, for safety reasons.
      2. Move and Go will not arrange to install or uninstall washers, dryers, dishwashers, Stoves, Chandelier, Pool Table and similar, ice machines, Curtain rods, tv mounts, water coolers, treadmills or any gym equipment, refrigerators, or any electrical equipment. Move and Go will not be liable for any damages that may arise due to the actions or inactions of its representatives who performed such services. You should not ask Move and Go’s representative to provide such services. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Move and Go and each of their subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, members, managers, officers, directors and Representatives, harmless from any expenses, losses, costs, (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), judgments, settlements, damages, awards, interests, fines, and liabilities of whatever kind, including as imposed by a court of law or by any governmental body or agency, Move and Go and its affiliates may incur as a result of, arising out of, or in relation to your decision to do so.


  • DISPOSAL

In case the Shipper leaves any furniture at the Pickup or Delivery location, neither Move and Go nor any person or Representative acting on its behalf will be liable for any fees incurred for improper handling of disposable items.
