ITEMS NOT COVERED BY MOVERS
Due to the design and/or construction of certain items, as well as moving company policies and government regulations, there are items which are not covered under basic cargo coverage, increased valuation coverage, or third part moving insurance. Also, please note that Elephant Moving’s liability is limited to $50.00 for damage to floors, walls, doors, and painted surfaces.
Elephant Moving assumes no liability for the following items:
Customer Packed Boxes (PBO-Packed By Owner) – VERY IMPORTANT
- the contents of your boxes are not covered unless they have been packed by Elephant Moving company employees
- in the event that a customer-packed box is lost or destroyed, compensation will be computed based on an average weight of 50 pounds per box, REGARDLESS of actual box contents
Pressboard Furniture
- disassemble pressboard furniture if possible, package fasteners separately (see our section on pressed wood furniture for further explanation)
Halogen Pole Lamps
- disassemble and box halogen pole lamps to protect them, always remove bulbs
Live Plants or Perishables

- have your electronics and musical instruments professionally prepared for moving beforehand
Unpackaged Glass
