Your household goods are covered under the term of valuation. Valuation is not insurance, nor an insurance policy, but instead an agreement between you and A+ Moving & Storage as to our liability for lost or damaged articles. Our liability is essentially limited to the time that the items are in our care and custody.

Standard Protection A+ Moving & Storage must offer this basic level of protection to you. There is no cost to you. If chosen, the maximum amount our liability is $.60 per pound, per article. The amount that would be paid to you is determined by the weight of the damaged article x $.60 per pound. This type of coverage may or may not cover the cost of repair or replacement.
Other types of valuation available include Declared Value Protection and Full Value Protection.
