How Do Olympia Moving Companies Handle Damage Claims or Lost Items?

When you choose professional, licensed movers, the need to file a claim for damage or loss is rare— but it happens. If you do need to file a claim, contact your mover as soon as possible to start the process. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration allows up to nine months from delivery to submit a claim.

How much you’ll be reimbursed will depend on the valuation coverage level you chose when you signed your Order of Service: Released Value Protection ($0.60 per pound per item) or Full Value Protection (repair, replacement, or reimbursement at no cost to you). “We offer comprehensive optionsfor valuation coverage so you can choose what works best for you,” states Kira McIntyre, A&E Office Manager.

How Do I Know if a Last-Minute Mover in Olympia is Reputable?

Legitimate movers in Washington should be registered with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Look for license numbers WUTC, MC, and USDOT. These verify that the moving company is properly insured and meets financial and legal standards.

At A&E, we partner with Mayflower Transit Moving & Storage for moves out of Washington (USDOT 125563, MC 2934) and hold WUTC HG-381, meeting all the requirements for professional movers at the state and federal levels.
