Limited Liability

In the removals industry, limited liability is standard practice  because the mover does not know the value of a customer's goods.

We encourage all our customers to take out Extra care handling  charge to cover themselves against losses greater than the limits set  out in our terms and conditions and for risks where they have no  rights of recourse against the removal contractor.

Special Cases

Furniture Storage terms and conditions are important. Please note the  following:

claims  excludes liability for jewellery and other similar  items

any claim limits the company's liability to £40 per item in  the event of loss or damage caused as a result of our negligence items are defined as individual or a total box of contents or any separately listed items as per an inventory accepted by the company on the move day

the company limits the company's liability to £75 per premises  in the event of damage to your premises

the company excludes liability for owner packed goods other  than negligence.

the company specifies the time limits for submitting claims for  loss or damage to 48hrs after the move and must be submitted in writing

jewellery and other items should not be included for removal.

If you want to do your own packing you need to consider the following:

the company is responsible for the loss or damage caused by its  negligence but not by inadequate or poor quality packing. Goods may be damaged by other causes over which a removal  contractor has no control.

Secondly, our limit of liability is £40 per item or box and this will  not be enough for some items.

the company recognises that its customers need proper financial  protection and offers Extra care handling charge to cover goods  while they are being packed, loaded, transported, unloaded and  unpacked by the company. If your move involves storage, this  can be arranged too.

What Type of Extra care handling charge Do I Require the company recommends to all customers that they take out Full  "All Risks" - Extra care handling charge. This does not literally  cover anything that may happen, but does include cover for damage by  breakage, vehicle accidents, fire, storm and theft.

You can choose Extra care handling charge on a reinstatement basis  which means "new for old", or an indemnity basis which means "like  for like".

New for Old Extra care handling charge

If something is totally lost or destroyed you will be paid the new  replacement value or the item will be replaced as new. If the item  can be repaired, our agent will arrange this if it is cheaper and  gives a satisfactory result.

Like for Like Extra care handling charge

Claims will be settled on the basis of the new value minus an  allowance for age, wear and tear.

Check the value of your goods.

Once you have decided between "new for old " and "like for like" you  must calculate the value of your goods.

This is your responsibility, because neither the company nor  our agent know the value of your property.

Claims Time Limit

For goods delivered by the company, claims must be notified  within 48 hours of delivery. If another company collects goods from a  Furniture Storage warehouse,  claims must be notified when the goods  are handed out by the company staff. Our agent will refuse  to pay claims if you do not adhere to these time limits.

Provision of service We will do our best to provide service to you by any date we have  agreed with you but we do not guarantee to do so.

Matching Pairs and Full Sets of Items

Like most household contents policies, if one of a pair of items or  part of a set is lost or damaged, our agent will only pay for the  individual item that is lost or damaged. Our agent will not pay for  the replacement of the entire set.

Mechanical and Electrical Breakdown

It is not possible of the company or our agent to check that  electrical goods are working before a move takes place and our agent  obviously have no responsibility for pre-existing damage.

This means that our agent will only pay for mechanical and electrical  breakdown or derangement if there is obviously damage to outer casings.

Damp & Mildew

 From time to time Furniture Storage receives Notice from customers  for items that appear damp or damaged by mould or mildew. Be aware  that the company's warehouses are not heated. In winter, the ambient  temperature and humidity in a warehouse is much lower than a  centrally-heated home.

The higher temperature at home means that its air is almost certainly  more humid. If soft furnishings, upholstered furniture, bedding and  curtains come from a warm environment into a cold environment, the  air in the fibres will cool and deposit a 'moisture load', and a  feeling of dampness.

This arises because the temperature and humidity in your house is  high, not because the warehouses leak! We are happy to discuss this  with you.

Packing your Goods

Furniture Storage offers a 2 man packing service at £40 per hour,  plus the cost of packaging materials.

Our agent will not pay for the loss or damage to goods packed by the  customers, only if there is total loss of all the consignment. If you find  this unacceptable, you must allow us to pack your goods.
