Enhanced Handling for High-Value Items

High-value items receive a level of attention that goes beyond our standard (already high) moving protocols. Each valuable item is individually assessed before the move to determine the appropriate handling method. Items are wrapped in premium materials — acid-free tissue, anti-static wrap for electronics, padded blankets rated for fine furniture, and custom foam inserts when needed. Our handlers are trained to move slowly and deliberately with high-value pieces, prioritizing safety over speed.

Comprehensive Insurance and Coverage

Standard moving insurance may not provide adequate coverage for high-value items. We offer enhanced insurance options that provide full replacement value coverage based on the declared value of your items. Before your move, we document each high-value item with photographs and condition notes. This documentation, combined with your declared values, forms the basis of your coverage. Your coordinator can walk you through the insurance options and help you select the right level of protection for your belongings.

Secure Transport and Tracking

High-value items are loaded in secure positions within the truck — never stacked, never placed where shifting could occur, and always secured with straps and padding. For customers moving collections or multiple high-value pieces, we can provide a detailed inventory manifest that documents every item and its condition at loading and unloading. On long distance moves, your coordinator provides regular updates on the shipment's location and status.

Items We Specialize In

Our valuable items service covers artwork and sculptures, antique furniture and decor, musical instruments including pianos and string instruments, designer and luxury furniture, wine collections, electronics and home theater systems, safes and vaults, jewelry and collectibles (within our specialty boxes), medical equipment, and sporting equipment like golf clubs and ski gear. If you have items that require special attention, let your coordinator know and we will plan the appropriate handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as a high-value item?+
Any item with significant monetary, sentimental, or irreplaceable value. Common examples include artwork, antiques, jewelry, designer furniture, musical instruments, wine collections, and high-end electronics. If you consider it valuable, we treat it as valuable.
How does enhanced insurance work?+
You declare the value of your high-value items before the move. We offer insurance coverage based on that declared value, providing full replacement cost protection. Your coordinator will explain the options and pricing.
Do you document the condition of valuable items before moving?+
Yes. Every high-value item is photographed from multiple angles and any existing condition notes are documented. This creates a clear record of the item's state before the move begins.
Can I request specific handlers for my valuable items?+
While we cannot guarantee specific individuals, we assign our most experienced handlers to valuable item moves. For Platinum service customers, the same dedicated team handles your items from start to finish.
