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 written estimate starts with a defined shipment.

Confirm your estimate type and carrier before booking. A binding estimate covers the shipment and services it lists; additional requested services and qualifying access operations can affect charges. Use FMCSA's interstate estimating guidance and the carrier's written terms to compare your options. For a move within one state, check the applicable state rules.

Know what the estimate covers

  • Confirm whether the estimate is binding or non-binding and which carrier accepts it
  • For an interstate binding estimate, identify the shipment and services covered by the agreed charges
  • Ask about additional requested services and qualifying impracticable operations
  • Read the applicable carrier terms before loading; do not treat every later service as included

Compare the same scope

  • List packing, materials, unpacking and specialty handling as included or excluded
  • Describe stairs, elevators, loading access, carrying distance and proposed vehicle size
  • Itemize storage, warehouse handling and redelivery if needed
  • Resolve missing charges and exclusions in writing before choosing a provider

Document handling responsibilities

  • Ask who supplies furniture wrapping, mattress protection and packing materials
  • Identify furniture that needs disassembly and confirm who reassembles it
  • Agree on building and floor-protection requirements for both addresses
  • Keep an inventory and condition records, with an assessment for unusual or valuable items

Plan changes and delivery

  • Tell the carrier about inventory, service, date or access changes before loading
  • Ask how changes are documented and which additional-charge rules apply
  • Confirm accepted payment methods and pickup and delivery windows
  • Keep the estimate, shipping documents, valuation selection and update contact together

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?

For interstate household-goods shipments, Full Value Protection applies unless you select Released Value in writing. Released Value limits carrier liability to 60 cents per pound per article. Confirm the carrier’s declared-value requirements, deductible, exclusions and claims instructions before loading. Identify valuable articles individually and request a written explanation of any high-value limitation; packing or crating does not itself establish insurance coverage.

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.
