While a reputable moving service will do everything in their power to ensure that your belongings are moved without damage, accidents can happen. For example, boxes do shift during transport, and if the items inside those boxes aren't packed properly, something could break. The following are some of the things you should know about moving valuation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Moving_Valuation\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Types of Moving Valuation<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Every&nbsp;mover has to carry basic value protection. If they don't have it, they're not reputable. With basic value protection, you share the liability for loss or damage with the mover. The mover will pay 60 cents per pound per item that's damaged. So if a 100-pound couch is damaged, you'll get $60 for it, despite how much it costs to repair or replace it.<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/muscularmovingmen.com\/blog\/what-you-need-to-know-about-moving-insurance\/#Types_of_Moving_Valuation\" >Types of Moving Valuation<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/muscularmovingmen.com\/blog\/what-you-need-to-know-about-moving-insurance\/#Making_a_Moving_Valuation_Claim\" >Making a Moving Valuation Claim<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>You can also choose to purchase full value protection valuation, which will provide coverage up to $100,000 for no less than $6 a pound.
