| 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.

MOVING
FROZEN FOOD
The
best advice we can give you about moving frozen foods is "eat hearty".
Frozen food is highly perishable, and unless your shipment is to be
transported under certain specific conditions, we recommend you use up
those perishables in your freezer before you move.
If
you've just fully stocked your freezer, however, and want to have it
delivered to your new home, let your Moving Consultant give you an
estimate of packing, shipping and storage costs so that you can
determine the practicality of moving the food. We can arrange for the
safe shipment of your food to your new home and have it properly stored
at a locker plant until you've settled in. Delivery can then be
arranged at your convenience.
Moving Your Freezer
We
prefer to move empty home freezers--and here's why. Home freezers are
not designed to be used as shipping containers, and can easily be
damaged in transit. As you know, frozen food is highly perishable, and
we prefer not to move full freezers because of the danger of spoilage.
There is no electric power on vans to
keep
freezers running, and vans cannot stop along the way to plug in a
freezer at a power source. Packing with dry ice offers little
protection because of the many variables that can reduce its
efficiency. Also, in case of spoilage, the lining and insulation of the
home freezer may be permanently impregnated with bad odor which may
make the unit unusable.
A Few Exceptions
These
exceptions may permit us to move your home freezer and its contents.
They are based on careful research and years of experience on our part:
- if the shipment is to be transported less
than 240 km and delivered within 24 hours from loading time;
- if storage is not required;
- if the food is contained in a home freezer
which is at normal frozen food temperature (-17C or below) at
- loading time (dry ice may be added);
- if the use of electricity is not required.
Once
your freezer is moved to your new home, wait at least 4-6 hours before
plugging it in. This allows the freon to settle; otherwise, you could
experience problems with the motor and freezing mechanisms.
If
you are moving long-distance (over 50 miles, and your goods will be
delivered the following day or later. We recommend that frozen food be
used up or disposed of before moving day.
