As comes to a close, ATA-MSC is wrapping up the month with one final tip for a successful move: Consider liability options and valuation.

Know how much your goods are worth and make an informed choice of liability protections when booking your move. What you select will determine what the mover will be responsible for in case of loss or damage. Always take valuable documents and other items with you.

ATA-MSC is marking by sharing practical advice to help consumers avoid common moving pitfalls. Today’s tip: Understand the difference between a mover and a broker.

Professional movers ensure that all agreements between you and the mover are in writing and that you have the time to read and understand them.
