02  Booking & Service Agreement

When you book a move with The Movers 4u, a formal service agreement is created between you (the customer) and us (The Movers 4u). This happens the moment you:

  •       Call us to schedule a move, or
  •       Submit a booking request through our website, or
  •       Confirm a quote and pay a deposit.

By completing any of the above actions, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and Conditions.

Who This Agreement Covers

This agreement covers you the person who booked the move and any family members, employees, or other people present at your move location on move day. Please make sure the person who is home on move day understands these terms.

Accurate Information Is Your Responsibility

When you book your move, we rely on the information you give us. Please be as accurate and detailed as possible. This includes:

  • Your correct pickup and delivery addresses
  • The right number of rooms and items (a rough inventory list helps a lot)
  • Whether there are stairs, elevators, long walkways, or other access challenges
  • Any specialty items like pianos, safes, antiques, or oversized furniture
  • Any gated communities or buildings that require advance access approval

Important: If information provided at booking turns out to be inaccurate on move day, additional fees may apply. For example if you told us it was a one-story home but there is actually a flight of stairs, we will need to add a stair fee.

03  Estimates, Quotes & Pricing

We believe in honest, upfront pricing. No surprises. No hidden fees. Here is how our pricing works:

Local Moves Hourly Rate

Most local moves (within the Naples area and nearby cities) are billed by the hour. The clock starts when our moving crew arrives at your first location and stops when the last item is placed at your destination and payment is complete.

Our minimum charge for local moves is two (2) hours of labor. Even if your move only takes one hour, the two-hour minimum still applies.

Long Distance Moves Flat Rate

Long distance moves are quoted at a flat rate based on the inventory list you provide, the total distance, and other factors like stairs, storage, or special items. Your flat rate quote is binding as long as your inventory does not change significantly.

What Is Included in the Quote

Your quote includes:

  • The moving crew (number of movers based on your job size)
  •  The moving truck (size appropriate for your move)
  •  Basic moving materials (moving blankets, dollies, straps)
  •  Loading, transport, and unloading

What May Cost Extra

Additional fees may apply in these situations:

  • Stairs: If your home has stairs that were not mentioned at booking, a stair fee applies per flight, per trip.
  • Long carry: If our crew must carry items more than 50 feet from the truck to your door, a long-carry fee applies.
  • Extra stops: If we need to make additional stops not included in the original booking.
  • Specialty items: Pianos, pool tables, safes, antiques, or items over 300 lbs require specialty handling and may carry an extra charge.
  • Packing materials: If you request boxes, bubble wrap, or other packing supplies, these are billed separately.
  • Storage fees: If your items go into storage, separate storage charges will apply.
  • Last-minute changes: Significant changes to the move scope on move day may result in rate adjustments.

Good to know: We will always tell you about any extra charges before they are applied. We will never add fees without talking to you first.

04  Payment Terms

Deposit

A deposit is required to confirm and hold your moving date. The deposit amount will be communicated to you at the time of booking.

The deposit is non-refundable if you cancel. Please see Section 05 (Cancellation Policy) for full details.

Final Payment

Final payment is due at the completion of your move before our crew departs your destination. We accept the following payment methods:

  • Cash
  • Credit or debit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover)
  • Certified check or money order (arranged in advance)
  • Zelle or other approved digital payment (confirm at booking)

Declined or Failed Payments

If your payment fails or is declined, your items may be held in our truck or in storage until payment is received in full. Storage fees may apply for every day items remain in our possession due to non-payment.

Disputed Charges

If you believe a charge on your final invoice is incorrect, please tell our crew supervisor at the time of the move before signing off. We will review it together and resolve it right there. We want to get it right for you.

Chargebacks filed with your bank without first contacting us may result in a dispute process and additional processing fees.

Tips

Tips are never required but are always appreciated. Our moving crews work incredibly hard if your team did a great job, a tip is a wonderful way to say thank you!

05  Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy

We completely understand that life happens. Plans change. Sometimes a closing date gets delayed or an emergency comes up. We try to be as flexible as possible but we do have policies to protect both you and our team.

Cancellation Policy

If you need to cancel your move, here is how it works:

  • More than 72 hours (3 days) before your move: You may cancel with a partial refund of your deposit minus an administrative fee. Please contact us as soon as possible.
  • Between 24–72 hours before your move: Your deposit is forfeited (non-refundable). No other charges apply.
  • Less than 24 hours before your move (or on move day): Your deposit is forfeited AND a cancellation fee will apply. This is because our team and truck have been scheduled and reserved specifically for your move.

Why do we have this policy? When you cancel at the last minute, we lose an entire day of work that could have been given to another customer. This policy helps us keep our team employed and our business running so we can continue to serve Naples families.

Rescheduling Policy

Need to change your move date? No problem just give us as much notice as possible.

  • Rescheduling more than 72 hours in advance: We will reschedule at no charge,
  • Rescheduling within 72 hours: A rescheduling fee may apply. Your deposit will be transferred to the new date.
  • Rescheduling on move day: This is treated as a same-day cancellation and the cancellation fee applies.

Our Right to Reschedule

In rare situations such as severe weather, mechanical failure, or a crew emergency we may need to reschedule your move. If this happens, we will notify you as soon as possible and work with you to find the earliest available date. No cancellation fees will be charged if the rescheduling is on our end.

Right to Refuse Service

We reserve the right to cancel or refuse service on move day if:

  • The move conditions are unsafe for our crew (e.g., extreme weather, unstable floors, hoarding conditions)
  • The information provided at booking was significantly inaccurate
  • Our crew is treated with disrespect or faces a hostile environment

If we exercise this right, you will be notified immediately and a cancellation fee may apply.

06  Move Day What to Expect

Arrival Time

We will give you an estimated arrival times when you book. Our crew will do everything possible to arrive within that times. However, factors like traffic, weather, or delays from a previous job can occasionally cause minor delays.

If we expect to be more than 30 minutes outside your times, we will call or text you to let you know. Arrival time is estimated, not guaranteed but we will always keep you informed.

We do not offer discounts for delayed arrivals unless the delay is significant and caused entirely by us.

Truck Size

We will bring a truck appropriate for the size of your move based on the information you gave us. We cannot guarantee that all your items will fit in a single truckload if you have significantly more items than originally listed.

If a second truck is needed due to undisclosed inventory, additional charges will apply.

Move Day Changes

If you need to make changes on move day like adding items, adding stops, or changing the destination address please let our crew leader know right away. Changes may affect the total time and cost of your move.

Safety First
Our crew will always make safety the top priority. If our team believes a situation is unsafe such as moving furniture in heavy rain without a covered loading area, or carrying items through an unstable path they may pause or modify the approach. We appreciate your understanding in those moments.

07  Your Responsibilities as a Customer

A great move is a team effort! Here is what we ask of you before and on move day:

Before Your Move

  • Make sure all items are ready to be moved (packed in boxes where applicable)
  • Disassemble any furniture that requires it such as bed frames unless you have booked our packing service
  • Drain water from appliances (washing machines, refrigerators, water dispensers)
  • Defrost your freezer at least 24 hours before the move
  • Disconnect all electronics, TVs, and computers
    Empty all dresser drawers if the dresser is very heavy
  • Secure or remove items from walls (art, mirrors, shelves)
  • Make sure our truck has safe, legal parking access at both locations
  • If you live in a gated community or a building with a freight elevator, please arrange access in advance

On Move Day

  • Please be present (or have an authorized adult present) for the full duration of the move
  • Be available to answer questions from our crew
  • Tell us where you want each item placed in your new home
  •  Do a walkthrough with our crew before they leave to confirm everything is in order
  • Inspect all items and sign the move completion form

Children & Pets

For everyone’s safety, please ensure that children and pets are in a safe, separate area during the move. Moving heavy furniture in tight spaces can be dangerous, and we want to make sure your little ones and furry friends stay safe.

Hazardous Conditions

Please clear a safe path for our movers both at your origin and destination. Remove tripping hazards, unlock all doors in advance, and let us know about any tight staircases, low ceilings, or narrow hallways ahead of time.

08  Liability & Insurance  Protecting Your Belongings

This is one of the most important sections to understand. We care deeply about your belongings and we handle them with great care every single day. But we also want you to know exactly what protections are in place.

Basic Valuation Coverage (Released Liability)

By default, all moves are covered under Released Liability, which is the standard protection level required by Florida law for moving companies. Under this coverage:

  • We are responsible for up to $0.60 per pound per article if an item is lost or damaged due to our actions.
  •  Example: If a 50-pound TV is damaged, the coverage would be 50 x $0.60 = $30.00.

This means Released Liability does not cover the full replacement value of your items. We strongly encourage you to consider additional coverage for high-value belongings

Full Value Protection (Optional Upgrade)

You may choose to upgrade to Full Value Protection before your move begins. Under this option, we are responsible for the full repair or replacement value of any item that is lost, destroyed, or damaged while in our care. Please ask us about Full Value Protection pricing when you book.

Third-Party Moving Insurance

You can also purchase independent moving insurance from a third-party insurance provider. This is separate from our valuation options and may offer broader protection. We encourage you to explore this option for high-value moves.

What We Are Not Liable For

Even with the best care, there are some situations where our liability is limited or excluded:

  • Items packed by the customer (we cannot be responsible for how you packed your own boxes)
  • Damage to items that were already fragile, worn, or in poor condition before the move
  • Mechanical or electrical failures in electronics, appliances, or other machinery
  • Items of extraordinary value not disclosed before the move (jewelry, cash, important documents)
  •  Damage caused by conditions beyond our control (acts of God, extreme weather, flooding)
  • Damage to floors, walls, or structures due to conditions that made safe movement impossible
  •  Items that were not on the original inventory list

Best Practice: Always take photos of your important items BEFORE the move. If anything is already scratched or chipped, document it this protects both of us.

09  Items We Cannot Move

For the safety of our crew, your family, and your other belongings, there are certain items we are not able to transport. Please do not include these in your move:

Hazardous Materials

  • Flammable liquids (gasoline, paint thinner, lighter fluid, propane tanks)
  • Explosives, ammunition, or fireworks
  • Corrosive chemicals or cleaning agents in large quantities
  • Pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers in concentrated form
  • Motor oil or automotive fluids

Perishable & Living Items

  • Perishable food items (fresh food should be used, donated, or discarded before moving day)
  • Live plants we can move hardy potted plants but cannot guarantee their survival
  • Live animals or pets please make your own arrangements for transporting pets

Other Items We Cannot Transport

  • Cash, bonds, securities, or financial documents
  • Medications please keep these with you personally
  • Personal documents (passports, birth certificates, deeds) keep these with you
  • Items of irreplaceable sentimental value that cannot be insured
  • Illegal substances or contraband

If any prohibited items are found in our truck during your move, we reserve the right to remove them, refuse service, or involve the appropriate authorities without liability to The Movers 4u. 

10  Storage Services

If you need your belongings stored between your move-out and move-in dates, we offer secure storage options. Here is what you should know:

Storage Terms

  • Storage is billed on a monthly or prorated basis depending on your agreement.
  • Storage fees are separate from your moving fees.
  • Access to stored items during the storage period may be limited to scheduled access times.
  • We are not responsible for items damaged due to extreme weather conditions beyond normal storage expectations.

Releasing Your Items from Storage

To release your items from storage, you must:

  •  Give us advance notice of at least 48 hours before you need delivery
  •  Have all outstanding storage and moving fees paid in full
  •   Be present (or have an authorized adult present) at the delivery location

Abandoned Items

If items remain in storage and no payment is made for 60 or more consecutive days and we are unable to reach you despite reasonable attempts we reserve the right to treat the items as abandoned in accordance with Florida law.

11  Long Distance & Out-of-Area Moves

For moves beyond the Naples area or out of the state of Florida, the following additional terms apply:

Binding Estimate

Long distance moves are booked on a binding flat rate based on your declared inventory. Your price will not change as long as the inventory and move details remain the same as quoted.

Delivery Window

Long distance deliveries are made within an estimated delivery window not on a guaranteed specific date. Delivery windows depend on distance, route, and logistics. We will keep you updated throughout your delivery.

Weigh Station

For large long-distance moves, your shipment may be weighed at a certified weigh station to verify the weight matches your inventory estimate. You will receive a copy of the weight ticket.

Payment for Long Distance Moves

Long distance moves require a larger deposit upfront. The remaining balance is due before delivery is made at your new destination. We cannot release your items until payment is received in full.

12  Antiques, Fine Art & High-Value Items

We are experienced in moving antiques, fine art, sculptures, and other high-value or irreplaceable items. However, these items require special handling and have special terms.

  • All antiques, fine art, and high-value items must be declared at the time of booking not on move day.
  • High-value items may require specialty crating, custom packing materials, or climate-controlled transport all of which may carry additional fees.
  • We strongly recommend purchasing third-party insurance or Full Value Protection for items with high monetary or sentimental value.
  • We are not liable for pre-existing damage, inherent fragility, or normal wear consistent with the age of antique items.
  • If you have a professional appraisal for an item, please share it with us before the move.

Example: If you own a 200-year-old oil painting or a hand-carved wooden cabinet passed down through generations, please tell us about it when you book. We will make sure it gets the special treatment it deserves. 

13  Damage Claims

We take great pride in the care we give to your belongings. But if something does get damaged during your move, here is exactly what to do: 

Step 1 — Note It Before We Leave

Do a walkthrough with our crew supervisor before they depart. If you notice any damage, point it out right then and there. Our crew leader will note it on the move completion form.

Step 2 — Document the Damage

Take clear photos of the damage as soon as possible. Include the item, the type of damage, and any relevant context.

Step 3 — Submit a Written Claim

All damage claims must be submitted in writing within 7 calendar days of your move date. You can email us or use our contact form on the website. Claims submitted after 7 days may not be eligible for compensation.

Step 4 — We Will Respond

We will acknowledge your claim within 3 business days and work toward a fair resolution. Depending on your coverage level, resolution may include repair, replacement value, or a cash settlement.

Items reported as damaged after you have signed the move completion form (indicating all items were received in good condition) may not be eligible for a claim. Please inspect everything carefully before signing.
