Estimate Guidelines
- Estimates are free of charge. You may obtain more than one estimate in order to compare movers and service. Be sure to tell each estimator the same information in order to compare service and quality of estimates.
- Estimates must be in writing. An estimate of charges may only be given after a visual inspection of the goods by the mover. Oral or telephone estimates are not permitted.
- You should NOT select a mover based solely on the lowest estimate provided because estimates are not binding and may differ form the final cost.
- Be cautious if you receive a very low estimate as compared to other estimates. All services may not have been included or it may not be accurate.
- Binding estimates or guarantees of actual charges are illegal on intratate transportation of household goods in Oregon.
- Final charges for moves must be based upon rates published in the mover's tariff and approved by the PUC or ODOT, regardless of any estimate given by the mover prior to the move.
Insurance Coverage
- OPTION 1Released Value Protection/Almost No Coverage
This option pays up to 60 cents per pound per article for any lost or damaged article. For example, it would pay a maximum of $30.00 for a 50-pound table ($.60 x 50 lbs.).There is no extra charge for this option.
- OPTION 2Depreciated Value Protection
The weight of your goods is multiplied by $1.25 per pound to figure its value, or you may declare a lump sum value for your goods. The greater of the two value figures will be used to calculate the amount you must pay for this protecton. Any items lost or damaged are subject to depreciation under this option. The price for this option is 50 cents per each $100.00 of value.
- OPTION 3 Replacement Cost Protection
The weight of your goods is multiplied by $3.50 per pound to figure its value, or you may declare a value of $10,000 or more. The greater of the two value figures will be used to calculate the amount you must pay for this protection. Depreciation does not apply under this option. The price for this option is 85 cents per each $100.00 of value.
- Additional Valuation Information
Hourly rated shipments are not usually weighed, so a lump sum value must be declared if you wish to purchase depreciated value or replacement cost protection.
Be sure the bill of lading indicates the option you have chosen before you sign it.
If NO option is chosen, and you sign the bill of lading, the mover will assign depreciated value protection (Option 2, above). You will be required to pay the valuation charge for this protection.
