Moving Pricing:

A long distance move is a move that is greater than 100-miles from the origin and/or the move crosses a state line. Two factors determine the major portion of the cost of your move. They are the distance you are moving and the weight of your shipment.

My Iterstate Mover is able to provide low rates because we do something called consolidated shipping. Instead of sending a moving van across the country with only your shipment on board, we consolidate your shipment with other customers' shipments. This method of shipping allows you to receive a greatly reduced rate.

How We Charge:
Most of us probably don't know the exact total weight of our belongings. In order to determine an approximate weight of your shipment, you can fill out our Online Estimate Form or call us at 866-237-7046, we will give you our rates for various weights for budgeting purposes.

However, like all other moving companies, we will be unable to determine the exact weight of your shipment until the actual day of the move. We welcome you to join us at a government regulated weigh station while we weigh the truck with and without your shipment fully loaded. The difference between those two weights is the weight of your shipment. However, please be advised that any and all additional services that were not requested at the time of estimate will be added to the total cost for relocation services.

Additional Charges (may be added to the estimate):
· Elevators and/or Stair costs will be charged if the client did not notify of such at the time of estimate.
· Long carry costs will be charged if the moving truck is unable to park within a reasonable amount of distance of the loading/unloading destinations.
· Extra stops during transportation services will accrue additional charges.
· Piano handling costs will be charged if the client did not notify of such at the time of estimate.
· Storage handling costs.
· Packing materials per item ordered.

The Documents:
At the time of loading the driver will present a Bill of Lading to you, which details the transportation services and charges. The Bill of Lading authorizes the carrier to transport your household goods and belongings; therefore your signature is required. The driver will also provide you with a copy of a completed “Household Goods Descriptive Inventory” list of items that are included in the shipment with a brief note of the condition of the items at the time of loading. The “Household Goods Descriptive Inventory” also requires your signature. In the event that additional services were incurred during the loading process, an “Addendum to Shipping Documents” will be completed and a copy will be provided for your records upon signing for approval.

The Delivery:
Please be advised that full payment is due upon delivery prior to unloading your household goods and belongings. Payment is accepted in the form of cash, certified cashier’s check or postal money order only. Personal checks will not be accepted at the time of delivery.

Unloading:
During the unloading process, always have a person accompany the movers to compare the inventory list with the items that are being delivered as well as to keep you informed of the condition of the items at the time of unloading. Please be advised that the movers are required to arrange the furniture to your discretion only one time. Therefore, prior to the movers arriving, decide where you would like the furniture to be arranged at the destination address. Furthermore, unpacking services are defined as unpacking wrapped items from cartons and placing them on a table or counter top. Unpacking the items does not constitute putting items into cabinets, closets, etc. Nevertheless, the movers will remove the used packing materials and containers as necessary.

Claims:
The safety of your household goods and belongings during transportation is of the utmost importance; however, at times damages/losses may occur. In the event that damages/losses occur, contact the Claims Department to obtain a Claim Form within 60 days of the delivery date. The Claims Department will require a written statement from you. The Claim Form should include your current mailing address, job/reference number (furnished at the time of estimate), and a copy of the Bill of Lading. Upon receipt of the request, a Claim Form will be mailed promptly. Please be advised that insurance providers require the original Claim Form to be submitted for evaluation, therefore, the Claims Department cannot fax the Claim Form to you. Nevertheless, at the time that damages/losses are observed, begin to compile important information on the item(s) such as:· Pictures of damages sustained.· Value of the item(s) at the time of purchase.· Weight of the item(s) damaged/lost. Deducting Moving Expenses All taxpayers that meet the following conditions qualify to deduct moving expenses, regardless of whether or not an itemized return will be completed:· You are moving to a new principle residence to work as an employee or as a self-employed individual at a new principle place of work and your new job is at least 50 miles farther from your former residence than your old job location.· You must remain a full-time employee in a general vicinity of the new job location for weeks within the first 12 months following the move.· If you are self employed, you must remain in the new location as a self-employer for 78 weeks during the first 24 months following the move, and 39 weeks must be in the first 12 months following the move. At the time you are determining your federal adjusted gross income, you can deduct the following expenses:· Transportation costs from old to new residence.· Packing, crating and unpacking charges.· Storage-in-Transit charges and valuation for 30 consecutive days.· Cost of moving your automobile and household pets.
