Valuable Items

Specialist handling for the items where 'damaged' is not an option.

Most movers will tell you they cannot insure high-value items above a certain dollar threshold. AmeriSafe is structured differently. High-value protection tiers are quoted per item based on declared value, so a single piece worth more than your whole household is covered on its own terms.

Crews assigned to high-value moves clear a higher vetting tier before assignment. Transport is in locked, climate-controlled trailers. Inventories are itemized with serial numbers, condition reports, and photographs at pickup and delivery.

What's included

How we handle high-value collections:

Every valuable-item move includes:

  • Single point of contact from booking through final delivery, your senior coordinator
  • Custom-built crating and museum-grade padding tailored to each piece
  • Climate-monitored trailers and dedicated, certified handling crews
  • Full-value protection paperwork in plain English, no fine-print exclusions
  • Photo-documented condition reports at pickup and delivery on every signed item
  • White-glove crews vetted and trained on specialty handling
  • Coordination with installers, conservators, restorers, and gallery teams as needed
  • Coordinated packing, transport, and setup under one written quote

Nationwide

Available on every AmeriSafe interstate move, nationwide. Most common categories: wine collections (climate-controlled), jewelry, watches, rare books, coins, sports memorabilia, and home electronics.

Binding pricing

A binding estimate: one number, locked before move day.

Most moving-day horror stories start with a vague estimate that becomes a bigger bill at delivery. AmeriSafe quotes qualifying interstate moves as a binding estimate: every service itemized up front, the total locked in writing, and changes only by signed addendum. Your coordinator confirms in writing whether your route and inventory qualify.

Locked in writing before the truck rolls

  • Your binding estimate is a fixed total for the inventory and services listed, signed before move day
  • The agreed price at pickup cannot be changed at delivery
  • No weight-based "true-up" invoice, no fuel-surcharge escalation, no delivery-day renegotiation
  • Binding means binding — it is the FMCSA term, and when it is on your paperwork, it is enforceable

Every service itemized up front

  • Packing, custom crating, and specialty handling, quoted as line items you approve before booking
  • Building access, stairs, long carries, and shuttle trucks, surveyed and priced into the estimate
  • Storage-in-transit and redelivery, on the same estimate, not a surprise addendum
  • You see and approve every line before you sign. Nothing appears for the first time on the final bill.

Care standards on every move

  • Furniture wrapped in moving blankets; mattresses in plastic protection
  • Beds, tables, and standard furniture disassembled and reassembled
  • Floors, wall corners, hallways, and doorways protected at both homes
  • Photo-documented inventory at pickup and delivery

What can change the price (only you can)

  • Adding items that were not on your signed inventory
  • Adding services (packing, storage, specialty handling) after the estimate is signed
  • Changing the move date in a way that requires re-routing
  • Every change goes through a signed addendum, never a delivery-day surprise

Valuable Items Moving, frequently asked questions

Will movers transport jewelry, watches, and other high-value items?

Yes. AmeriSafe moves jewelry, watches, wine collections, rare books, coins, sports memorabilia, and high-end electronics using vetted crews and locked, climate-controlled trailers, with your coordinator sending status updates throughout transit. Many movers refuse or cap these categories; AmeriSafe is structured specifically to handle them.

How much insurance can I get on a single valuable item during a move?

High-value protection tiers are quoted per item based on declared value, well beyond the free federal baseline of 60 cents per pound per item, which is meaningless for a watch or a painting. Your coordinator prices the coverage into your written estimate before the move, so protection and price are both settled in writing up front.

How are valuable items documented during a move?

Inventories are itemized with serial numbers, written condition reports, and photographs at both pickup and delivery. That documentation is what protects you if a claim is ever needed, and federal rules give you 9 months to file one.

Who actually handles high-value shipments?

Crews assigned to high-value moves are vetted at a higher tier than standard crews, with carrier authority, insurance, and safety record verified. Transport is in locked, climate-controlled trailers, and a single senior coordinator stays your point of contact from booking through final delivery.

Can a wine collection be moved cross-country?

Yes, wine is one of the most common high-value categories AmeriSafe moves, and it always travels climate-controlled to protect against heat damage. Most cross-country dedicated moves deliver in 4 to 7 days, which keeps temperature-sensitive collections in transit for the shortest practical window.
