☐ Customers moving into new construction must notify the office if there are any changes to the truck access, such as the driveway not being poured or adequately cured. This may cause the estimate to go over and/or additional fees to be applied.
☐ Customers moving into self-storage facilities may want to have something available that the movers can use to cover and protect their furniture while it is stored (i.e. old sheets, towels, comforters, or blankets). We sell paper pads and can bring them out on move day if you call us in advance and request them.
☐ Customers must select a Valuation for their shipments. Basic Carrier’s Valuation covers items lost or damaged at a rate of $0.60 per pound, per article and furnished to shippers at no extra charge. Full Replacement Value Protection (FRVP) provides additional levels of valuation and is available for a premium. Contact Seaford Transfer prior to moving to discuss valuation options.
☐ Payment in the form of cash or check is due and payable upon delivery of local shipments. Payment in the form of cash or certified check is due and payable prior to delivery of intrastate and interstate shipments. Any credit card charges must be pre-approved before move date. Seaford Transfer has a CASH ONLY policy for customers moving into self-storage facilities. If payment is not received in a timely manner, a 5% late fee will be applied to any amount left unpaid after 7 days. Interest will accrue at 1.5% monthly thereafter.
☐ CANCELATION AND NO SHOW POLICY: Seaford Transfer requests notification of any cancelation be made in a timely manner. Services canceled 48 hours or less prior to the scheduled date of service will result in a cancelation fee as follows: $75.00 or 10% of the estimated cost, whichever is greater. Failure to provide notification of cancelation prior to the date of scheduled service and/or no shows will result in a $45.00 fee per crew member dispatched in addition to the cancelation fee. Some exceptions may apply.
