When moving, it is our responsibility to make sure that we hire a good moving company. It is this moving company that will make sure that our belongings intact and damage free upon delivery. But if ever this company fails to deliver your belongings in one piece it is our right to ask for claims and compensation.
Here are the steps when claiming for claims and compensation:
First, on the moving day the moving company will provide you with inventory list consisting of the number, kind and condition of your belongings. It is important that before you sign the inventory list you have checked everything that is written. Keep this inventory list up until the delivery is done and you have checked all your belongings.
Second, when unpacking, check your belongings side by side with the inventory list given to you, if there are damages or lost items that you notice. Write it on detail on the moving papers. Doing these will ensure proper documentation and further strengthen your claim.
Next, call as soon as possible your moving company and ask them on how you can submit your claim or if they have claim forms that you have to fill up. You should file your claim as soon as possible or not less than 90 days. Make sure that your company acknowledges your claim within 120 days.
Lastly, save your damaged item, so that it will be available when inspection is needed.
If you will have difficult time with your moving company you can ask the assistance of BBB for your claims.
