Trusted Movers in Des Plaines, IL

Both state and federal law acknowledge that there is some inherent vice when moving and that even when items are packed and prepared in a professional manner, damage may occur. Your choice of coverage determines how we can compensate you in the event that any of your belongings are lost or damaged during the move. The state of Illinois has established two shared liability options—Carrier Liability and Declared. CARRIER LIABILITY All licensed moving companies in Illinois provide Carrier Liability coverage at no charge. Under this option, Move-tastic! assumes liability for all items we’re transporting at a set rate of $0.30 per pound per article regardless of the value of the item damaged. If an item is damaged, Move-tastic! must compensate you for up to $0.30 for each pound the damaged item weighs. DECLARE VALUATION You declare the total value of your shipment before the move begins. If an item is damaged during your move, Move-tastic! will seek a professional repair. If a repair is not possible, we’ll pay to replace that item, less depreciation. Move-tastic! offers valuation coverage at a rate of $100 per each $10,000 of released or declared value. Declaring a released value for goods is not the same as purchasing an insurance policy.
