| Whats the $$ value? |
| Before the Move: If you do
not have an exact record of the cost of your computer (including
accessories), you might want to obtain a current retail cost of your
complete system prior to selecting a transit protection plan from us.
If you desire replacement cost (rather than depreciated) protection, we
offer full value against loss or damage.

The cost of your long distance move (in excess of 150 miles) is based
on the weight of the items that are to be moved and the distance they
will be traveling. The estimate outlines all the services needed for
your move and their associated costs.
Local moves are based on the time it will take to pack, load and deliver your shipment and the amount of labor required.
Consultants guarantee their estimates when they have all the necessary
information to do so. For this reason, and to avoid complications at a
later date, please be sure to point out everything that is to be moved.
This includes all items in storage areas inside and outside of the
house or anything being picked up from other locations, such as
cottages or storage areas away from home.
If your employer is to be billed for the move, make arrangements well
in advance with both your company and your Mayflower Member. This will
help to avoid delays when your shipment is delivered.
If you are paying for the move, Mayflower offers many payment options:
cash, certified cheque, Mastercard, Visa, American Express, bank
draft/money order. Credit card payments must be made in advance of
delivery. As well, the driver cannot deliver a COD shipment until
payment has been received.
Yes. It is recommended that you pack only unbreakable items, such as
linens and books. Remember, all owner packed items travel at owner’s
risk. Professional packing is the best way to safeguard against
breakage.
Your pack crew will bring special cartons to protect your paintings and
wall hangings. Mayflower crews, however, do not remove any items that
are secured to your walls including paintings. It is your
responsibility to remove any “ fixed” items from walls.
Yes. As a matter of public safety, governments at all levels have
passed legislation restricting the transportation of dangerous goods.
Some commodities may be included in your shipment under controlled
conditions while law prohibits the transport of others. In either case,
you must disclose to the Van Operator every item you intend to include
with your shipment that poses a hazard. A few prohibited items include:
gasoline, propane tanks, oxygen, fire extinguishers, ammunition and
fireworks. Ask your Mayflower Consultant for our pamphlet “Dangerous
Goods” for further information.
Most machines and mechanical equipment do need to be prepared by a
licensed professional before being moved. Your Moving Consultant can
make these arrangements for you. It is important to remember that
articles not serviced travel at owner risk for internal damage.
There are many factors affecting the length of time it takes for a
shipment to travel from origin to destination: the distance, weight of
the shipment, government regulations in the National Safety Code,
Customs, weather, road conditions, and the need for ferries during
transit. Allow extra time and be flexible when planning your moving
schedule.
Yes. A “delivery spread” is calculated based on the weight of your
shipment and the distance travelled. Wherever possible, your Moving
Consultant strives to arrange delivery on the date you request. If
delivery is delayed for any reason, beyond the date guaranteed to you,
Mayflower will reimburse you reasonable expenses for food and
accommodations until we deliver your shipment.
All
items in your home will be inventoried on load day. Items are numbered
and a brief description of the condition is listed on the inventory
sheet. On delivery, you will check off each number as the corresponding
item enters your home.
In the event your shipment can’t travel directly from origin to your
new residence, Mayflower can arrange to place your belongings into
storage until you are ready to receive them. All Mayflower Member
companies are equipped with completely secure, clean warehouses.
Storage is at an additional charge.
Upon arrival at destination, the driver will provide you with an
“Inventory Check-Off Listing.” Each item is checked off as it is
delivered. Any loss or damage is noted on the driver’s copy of the
inventory in the section called “Exceptions on Delivery.” These
observations will serve to substantiate a claim should you have reason
to submit one. |
