How We Protect You, Your Property & Your Gun Safe During a Move

You keep your most valued possessions locked away in your safe, so why allow anyone but a professional to handle the safe itself? A gun safe is probably not a purchase you make very often, and if you’re moving a safe for the first time, you may not know how to get one in and out of your home without any damage.

Our experience moving team at HuberWilmot Moving & Storage know how to:

  • Get your safe into, or out of, your home without injury or damage
  • Utilize the appropriate equipment such as dollies, ratchet straps and tie downs to secure the safe during transport
  • Use site protection materials to protect your home while we move the heavy item
  • Protective materials to blanket wrap and shrink wrap the safe for its own protection
  • Maneuver around tricky obstacles

Preparing Your Gun Safe for Moving Day

Getting your safe prepared for a move will help in reducing the man-hours it takes for us to unload, secure and haul your heavy item(s). That’s why we’ve compiled a few tips to help you help us move your safe smoothly:

  • Remove the valuables in your safe. This includes the guns themselves and any ammunition. Pack them in a separate box/container yourselves, or inform your mover, before moving day, of additional high-value items that need attention.
  • We are not legally able to move your rifles, pistols or other firearms, even if they’re family heirlooms. Moving the valuables yourself will ensure they will not be damaged.
  • Is your gun safe bolted to the floor or wall? Please allow us easy access to the bolts.
  • Please clear a path and ensure there is plenty of working space for our movers.
  • Please secure a backup location if you’re moving your safe from room to room.
  • If we have not completed a walkthrough, please measure any entryways to determine if more space is needed to move the safe.
  • If there are stairs to navigate, we need to know how many flights our movers will be traversing.
  • As always, during your initial quote consultation, let us know how much the safe weighs.

Following these tips not only ensures your gun safe is moved safely, securely and efficiently, but that your overall move is completed as quickly as possible.

Did you know...?

Am I protected against loss or damage while my goods are in transit?

Yes, but how much protection you have and its cost to you depends upon the valuation coverage you selected. This can be one of the most confusing aspects to moving but it is important that you understand what is being provided to you.

The valuation option you choose determines the basis upon which any claim will be adjusted and the maximum liability of the carrier. The liability of a carrier for loss or damage is based upon the carrier's tariffs, as well as federal laws and regulations that have certain limitations and exclusions. Valuation is not insurance. This is important to understand. It is the liability of the moving company. Check with the provider of your homeowner's insurance to find out if you are covered for moving. Often you will find that you are.

  • Released Value – This is the most economical as there is no additional cost. However, this option provides only minimal protection and is not sufficient coverage for most shipments. It will pay you $.60 per pound per article if lost or damaged while moving. That means a piece of furniture weighing 75 lbs would receive a settlement of $45.00. You will be asked to initial the bill of lading if you select this coverage. The only place this is applicable is if your insurance policy covers your goods for their entire value and this would be considered supplemental coverage for your move.
  • Full Maximum Value Protection – This is your most comprehensive coverage. You may hear it referred to as "full replacement value" as well as "full value protection” by other van lines. If you elect to purchase full value protection, articles that are lost, damaged, or destroyed will be either repaired or replaced with like items, or a cash settlement will be made for the current market replacement value, regardless of the age of the lost or damaged item. Depreciation of the lost or damaged item is not a factor in determining replacement value when the shipment is moved under full value protection.

The cost of full value protection may be subject to various deductible levels of liability that may reduce your cost. Ask your mover for the details of their specific plan.
