RISMEDIA, Oct. 6, 2008-What happens if your items do not arrive during the agreed upon delivery spread?

You may be eligible for delay compensation if your possessions do not arrive during the specified delivery spread. The compensation will depend upon the reason for the delay and the contract of the carrier you have chosen. The delay compensation is intended to defray the cost of your food and lodging.

Even with the most diligent maintenance, moving trucks sometimes break down or have flat tires. If this happens to your shipment you should be compensated.

There are some situations that are beyond the control of the driver or his company. When hurricanes, snow storms, acts of war or terrorism or other similar events delay your delivery, there most likely won’t be compensation offered.

When a delay occurs your van line of choice should keep you informed as information becomes available.

Who can help?

The Move Advocate program was designed to take the stress out of moving. In addition to aggressive discounts and free protection coverage, delay compensation is built into Move Advocate contracts. According to the company, their professionally trained coaches have moved thousands of families and can shoulder the burden so that you can relax. When it’s time for you or your client to make a move, make sure you have an advocate on your side.

Call 800-617-1918 if you have questions about moving or would like to arrange for multiple moving quotes at no cost.
