TERMS & CONDITIONS:
Estimates are based on the information you provided and on the assumption that your house or business is packed and ready to move upon arrival. Estimates are given to inform you of costs and allow us to schedule movers and trucks appropriately. This reflects time spent on your move, plus boxes, packaging supplies, travel time, fuel, etc. as noted on your estimate. Standard moving supplies needed to properly wrap, protect, secure and pad your furniture, belongings, and home are included in your estimate and cover things like; moving blankets, cardboard, shrink wrap, tape, bands, mattress covers, door-jam protection, floor protection and railing covers, unless otherwise stated above for purchase.
In addition, you were given a cash price, discounted moving rate. We do not charge additional travel time to get to your load up address or to get back to your home-base when you move is complete. We also do not charge extra for stair fees, long walkways, shared elevators, as permitted to do so.
All jobs require a deposit upon reserving your day unless otherwise stated. The deposit will be applied directly to your moving bill at the end of your move. Deposits are nonrefundable. Should your moving date need to be changed, you will not lose your deposit. We will do the best we can to accommodate your move on the new requested date, and apply the deposit previously given.
By providing your deposit, you are indicating that you agree to the terms and conditions of the Estimate / Proposal for moving, and would like to move forward with scheduling a move date with Assured Logistics Group.
We are NOT equipped to move items in excess of 500 pounds.
COMPANY POLICY
1. The customer or his/her representative must be present during the move and final ‘walk-through’. Our time runs until the last article is placed at the final destination.
2. We require payment at the time of delivery (prior to unloading) for any balance due on local and long-distance moves.
3. Any damage claims must be submitted in writing to our claims department within 2 days (48 hours) of your move. Unless payment is made in full as is due, we are not required to answer or process a claim. Do not assume you may deduct the money from the final bill to compensate yourself in the event of damage. In the event a damage claim is requested, reviewed and deemed warranted by Assured Logistics Group (ALG), ALG will choose one of the following options:
- Repair: with this option the item will be repaired so it is restored to the same or similar condition as it was before being damaged, with he repair not to exceed the item's Fair Market Value (FMV)
- Replacement: with this option, the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the damaged item is provided and can be put towards a replacement.
- Reimbursement: with this option, reimbursement will be provided at .60 cents per pound of the damaged item (Released Value Protection)
Fair Market Value will be determined using original receipt (if available) or industry standard valuations found at:

If the piano has light weight legs (usually the front), we will not be responsible if they don’t go back on if we take them off (sometimes the nut is loose inside the piano and will turn when you try to replace the leg).
