Valuation is NOT insurance. Valuation is the amount of liability a moving company will accept for the value of your goods if damaged or lost while in their possession. Valuation is limited to the moving company’s own coverage, and in many cases is as low as $0.60 per pound per item on domestic shipments. It can be as low at $0.10 per pound per item on international shipments.
