Movers New York = Remarkable Movers



Moving Families Safely
The heart of New York Movers - Remarkable Movers Transfer's moving services is your family and household. New York Movers – Remarkable Movers Transfer is a leader in moving people across the street or around the world, protecting and caring for their possessions until they are safely in their new home. In fact, we consider it an art that is learned through diligence, nurtured by experience and perfected through a commitment to excellence.
We're unsurpassed in household moving. The reasons:
longevity in the business
well-trained people who know what to do
care, experience and knowledge
New York Movers – Remarkable Movers Transfer trains and retrains its professional moving staff so the customer is always well taken care of, from start to finish. The account coordinators, packers, drivers and crew are continually learning better ways to serve you and use new innovations in equipment, packing materials and techniques.
Packing and Securing Valuables
The New York Movers – Remarkable Movers team is taught how to pack all your valuables correctly-dishes, glassware and clothing, bulky items like pianos and fragile pieces like crystal chandeliers. Our trucks are specially designed and equipped to ensure the safe transport of your goods, equipped with air-ride suspension systems to cushion the load throughout the trip. Every item is labeled inventoried and tracked in our state-of-the-art computer system and closely monitored while in transit. And, we exercise the same diligent caution moving you in upon arrival at your new home as we did moving you out. Our customer service coordinators contact you after the move to provide any additional assistance and ensure the move has met your expectations and complete satisfaction.
Innovative Services
We continue to innovate in household moving to meet the demands of regional areas and its challenges. In the New York State, New York Movers – Remarkable Movers Transfer was one of the first companies to buy and support doubles or "pups." Doubles or pups are a set of two smaller trailers pulled behind the motor portion of a moving truck. This allows us to maneuver through more remote regions of the Northwest where larger trucks are unable to go, and in many instances, eliminate using shuttle services which can cause substantial delays and increase the risk of damage and claims.
We offer the best protection against loss and damage available anywhere. Full replacement value coverage and no deductible are standard features when you select insurance through Allied underwriters. And, if claims should arise, we have a stellar record of prompt, fair settlements.
New York Movers – Remarkable Movers is a family owned New York Moving Company in existence since 1976. If you are looking for a New York City or New York State residential moves or corporate relocations, call us at: 800-311-9850 or use our inquiry form here.

Single Factor Rate Pricing:
A Blended Discount Single-factor rate pricing uses rate/cost "averages," based on your company's household goods traffic patterns or all New York Movers- Remarkable Movers customer shipments. Through this household goods contract, corporate customers receive significant cost savings in the form of a blended discount off published tariff rates, as well as value-added services.
To provide the utmost benefits for corporate customers, average rates are developed for packing, labor, containers, and transportation charges, based on the cubic size and/or weight of the shipment, as well as the number of miles the shipment will travel.
These rate/cost averages are blended together, becoming a consistent discount, without regard to seasonal or regional pricing changes. As a result, the tariff, audit and cost complexities associated with individual service charges are eliminated.
Value-added services for corporate customers include transit time enhancements (shorter loading and delivery schedules), valuation options (free full replacement insurance up to a stated dollar amount), priority scheduling (commitment of New York Movers – Remarkable Movers 's best drivers and trucks) and superior service (customer satisfaction).
Sample Moving Policies
This section provides the corporate relocation professional with some guidelines in establishing a corporate relocation policy for their company. These sample policies should not be construed as recommendations.
Sample Policy - Long Form
The actual moving of your household goods will be handled for you by (The Company). You should get in touch with your contact person at your unit before making any arrangements for movement of household goods. They will make arrangements with the divisional and local traffic departments to assign a household goods van line to handle your move.
(The Company) has signed Household Goods Transportation Agreements with a number of national van lines. Since these van lines offer substantial discounts to us, a van line from this group should be selected in order to take advantage of these cost savings. The van line's proven performance should also assure you of a smooth relocation.
Allowable Moving Expenses
The following items are allowable moving expenses. If you anticipate any moving expenses other than those listed below, you should discuss them with your contact person prior to your household goods move. Some expenses are noted as being reimbursable with "special approval". In these cases, special approval means approval by the general manager, staff vice president or executive in charge of the unit to which you are transferring.
Packing and unpacking, crating and uncrating of household goods and personal belongings
Freight charges for household goods, personal belongings, autos, motorcycles and trucks With special approval, shipping charges for unusual items, such as a boat or trailer
Installation charges (including plumbing and electrical outlets) for such major appliances as stoves, refrigerators, room air conditioners, washers, dryers, and water softeners, providing you had the same or similar appliances at the former location (installation cost of transmission lines from the utility service to the house circuit or fuse box is not reimbursable)
Charges for installation (labor only) of a television antenna, provided you had an antenna at the previous residence
Tuning and adjustment of a piano, television and stereo set
Charges for "turn-off" of utilities at former residence and charges for "turn-on" of utilities at new residence, excluding meter deposits
Alteration of carpeting and draperies brought from the former residence to fit the new residence
Trash pickup at new residence specifically related to the move
Installation charges for the same number and type of telephones as in previous residence
In addition, the corporation will pay for or reimburse the cost of storing household goods for up to 30 days, if necessary. Reimbursement for storage in excess of 30 days may require special approval.
Moving expenses for which you will NOT be reimbursed include:
Cost of shipping firewood, concrete blocks, bricks or other construction materials
Cost of transporting farm animals, animals owned for investment or as part of a business.
Reimbursement of expenses for the transportation, care and feeding of animals other than household pets requires special approval.

Cost of disassembling and assembling a workshop, photographic darkroom, playhouse, etc.

Purchase of antenna or rotors
Decorating, painting or repairing at the old or new residence
Installation of new door locks.
Insurance
It will not be necessary for you to obtain in-transit insurance in excess of the van line's standard liability coverage because trip transit insurance is provided automatically at the corporation's expense. This insurance is provided by (The Company) and covers your household goods and personal effects while in transit and while in storage. Company policy automatically provides continuous coverage against physical loss or damage to your household goods from the time the shipment commences the transit at your home (or other point of shipment), until the time the shipment arrives at your new home - including incidental storage.
If your goods are not shipped by a van line and are transported by you, company policy provides coverage for loss and damage caused by fire, lightning, theft, attempted theft, vandalism, cyclone, tornado, windstorm, earthquake, flood, explosion, falling objects, collision or overturning of the conveyance while in your own care, custody and control.
You should advise your contact person if you need specific information concerning items covered and excluded under this insurance policy which is not summarized below:
Goods insured include: Personal effects, household furniture and equipment common to a household and owned by you and/or members of your immediate family, including automobiles and motorcycles, if shipped by a van line.
Goods not insured include: Animals of any kind, personal papers such as receipts, accounts or bills, currency, deeds, evidence of debt, notes, bonds, securities, shipments by mail, perishable foods, passports, airline or other tickets, bullion, accompanied baggage, household plants, and automobiles, motorcycles, or other vehicles while being driven over the road and boats or other watercraft being towed or while under their own power in navigable water.
Exclusions include: (1) Moths, vermin, insects, gradual deterioration, wear and tear, and inherent vice; (2) War risks on land; (3) Expenses incurred by you for the time involved in preparing and presenting the claim.
When there are items of unusually high value, or of a fragile nature, you should specifically request special handling and attention in packing by the mover. Items particularly susceptible to damage, such as TV sets, stereo equipment, pianos, refrigerators, freezers, etc. are not usually covered for internal damage unless there is visible and certain evidence of external damage.
Your contact person will provide you with a Household Inventory form, which you will need to complete in order to state the value of all articles that will be contained in your shipment. Categories of items such as clothing may be grouped. Sets of items, such as china, crystal and silverware should be piece-counted and valued. If any of your household possessions are to be placed in storage, a separate list covering those items should be prepared, indicating individual values and the address of the storage warehouse. These inventories must be submitted before you move.
UNLESS THE VALUED INVENTORY IS PREPARED AND SUBMITTED PRIOR TO YOUR MOVE, YOUR GOODS WILL NOT BE INSURED AND REIMBURSEMENT OF ANY LOSS WILL BE IN JEOPARDY.
When your household goods arrive at your new location, it is important that you look at all the boxes, crates, etc. Anything obviously dented, wet, torn, or otherwise damaged, should be opened first.
1. Write down the inventory number listed on the box. 2. Sort out its contents for damage.
If you discover damaged items, such as broken glass where the damage will not accelerate or the condition of the affected items will not further deteriorate, set the crates and the damaged goods aside for possible inspection by the insurance company. In all cases, save the carton whenever possible.
When your household goods have been unloaded, the mover or agent will present a receipt for you to sign. This should have all the carton numbers on it and a space to note their condition on arrival. It is important that you make note of any damage and losses before you sign the delivery receipt. If you have been unable to check the condition of all contents, indicate on the delivery receipt that the condition of your property is subject to further inspection.
Since only losses and/or damages in transit are covered by insurance, it is important that all cartons and boxes be opened as soon as possible in order to establish that the loss and/or damage occurred in transit. Any delay in reporting loss or damage in transit could result in the insurance company's taking a longer time to process your claim. Save whatever evidence is necessary to support your claim.
Unless your contact person has directed you otherwise, there are several steps you must follow in order to be reimbursed:
1. Since the moving company responsible for the loss or damage is entitled and obligated to do everything possible to restore your affected goods in the interest of minimizing the loss, notify the moving company immediately, preferably in writing. The van line will forward to you a claim form and/or have a representative inspect your goods for the purpose of restoring them and/or compensating you in accordance with their statutory liability. Complete the claim form and return promptly to the moving company, along with any related documentation or correspondence that will support or demonstrate your claim. Should you have any questions concerning your claim, please contact (The Company). 2. If your claim is denied by the moving company or the settlement does not cover the entire loss, please forward the following documents to (The Company):
a.) All correspondence with the van line, including the statement of claim; b.) Valued household inventory; c.) Bill of Lading/Freight Bill; d.) Signed delivery receipt; e.) Copies of all invoices and repair estimates.
Payment will be made directly to you.
Sample Policy - Short Form
At least four weeks before you expect to move into your new home, you must contact your Relocation Coordinator. At that time a van line will be selected to help you coordinate your move.
Almost everything you need to move will be moved at (The Company's) expense. This includes household goods that need to be packed and unpacked, pictures and mirrors that need to be crated, all reasonable items of furniture, furnishings, clothing, appliances, small tools and equipment.
Such items as houseplants, animals and pets, frozen food, construction material, firewood, boats over 14 feet, house and utility trailers will not be included.
If you don't want to drive your cars yourself, (The Company) may provide a professional driving service to move them to your new location. Or, a car can be loaded on a moving van - provided its wholesale (blue book) value exceeds the cost of shipping.
If you do drive your cars yourself, (The Company) will reimburse you for the rate-per-mile allowance plus tolls. Submit an expense report to (The Company) with available documentation.
Your Relocation Coordinator will order insurance to cover your household goods during transit. Usually, the goods are insured at a value of 60 cents per pound for any goods damaged or lost. (The Company) will pay for any loss or damage over 60 cents per pound.
If you have antiques or other irreplaceable items of high value, (The Company) may pay for the additional coverage needed. However, you must receive prior approval from your Relocation Coordinator and you must also pay to have the antiques appraised. If you want to purchase additional coverage over and above (The Company's) recommendation, you may do so at your own expense.

Packing Tips
For best results, hire a professional moving company.
If you pack yourself - keep the following supplies handy for packing: Boxes, marking pen, bubble wrap, newspaper and tissue.
Tape and scissors
Tape measure
Use strong boxes or containers that can be secured tightly and closed. Purchase boxes from moving companies for dishes, clothes and other fragile or special items.
Pack audio-video equipment in their original boxes. Label cables and tighten transit screws. If removing screws, tape them to the objects they are removed from.
Avoid loading more than 40 pounds into one box.
Label each box and indicate the following: (a) Which room it should go in (b) Your name (c) If it should be loaded last so it will be unloaded first.
Cushion contents with packing material such as bubble wrap, newspaper or tissue. Save room by using towels and blankets to wrap fragile items.
Pack books tightly on end in small boxes. If musty smelling, sprinkle talcum powder between the pages and wrap the book before packing. Leave stored for a couple of months to eliminate the smell.
Have rugs and draperies cleaned before moving and leave them in wrappings for the move.
Pack medicines in a plastic bag or container.
Carry valuables with you.
Check with your local U.S. Department of Agriculture for regulations regarding moving plants from one state to another. Many states have restrictions on certain plants to prevent importing bugs or pests that can destroy valuable cash crops.
Moving House Plants
A Couple of Weeks before You Move
Prune plants to facilitate packing. Consult a florist or a plant book for instructions.
Week before Your Move
Place your plants in a black plastic bag, along with a bug/pest strip, conventional flea collar or bug powder. Close the bag and place in a cool area overnight to kill any pests on the plant or in the soil.
The Day before Your Move
Place the plants in cardboard containers. Hold them in place with dampened newspaper or packing paper. Use paper to cushion the leaves and place a final layer of wet paper on top to keep them moist. If you must leave your plants behind, then take cuttings. Put them in a plastic bag with wet paper towels around them.
On The Day of Your Move
Set the boxes aside and mark "DO NOT LOAD" so they won't be taken on the moving van. Close the boxes and punch air holes in the top before loading into your car.
When Moving
Park your car in a shaded area in the summer and a sunny spot in the winter.
Upon Arrival
Unpack the plants as soon as possible after arrival. Remove plants through the bottom of the box to avoid breaking the stems. Do not expose the plants to much sunlight at first. Let them get gradually accustomed to more light.
Moving Garden Plants
Research climate and soils of new home.
Seeds - gather and store in an airtight container.
Bulbs - dig up during their natural dormant season. Pack in a mixture of loose dry peat moss and vermiculite to provide a lightweight and protective transport medium.
Garden tools - sharpen blades of clippers, lawn mowers and shears and apply a thin coating of household or motor oil to protect the paint and metal parts. Clean and disinfect rakes, hoes and sprinklers. Household bleach can be used to disinfect a variety of items.
Plants - some plants can be dug up and transplanted.
Moving Pets
Following are tips for moving your pets to their new home.
Cats and Dogs
Cats and dogs can be taken in your car. If so, remember to take along the following items:
Food
Water
A leash for letting your pet out of the car
Newspaper or sheets to keep your car clean
Animals can get car-sick and will require frequent stops along the way. Also, check ahead to see if the hotel where you are staying allows pets. Depending on the animal's temperament and size, it might be better to have it shipped by air. Be sure to check if your destination has any local requirements or restrictions on animals.
To have your pet shipped by air, make sure someone can meet your pet at the destination airport and take care of it until you arrive. A kennel can do this for you and keep your pet until you have completed your move, if necessary.
If you are flying to your new destination, your cat or dog can ride in the baggage compartment. You may need the following items:
Health certificate. Obtain this from your veterinarian.
Pet container. The airline might have a special container available or you can use your own as long as it complies with airline regulations.
Tranquilizers. Your vet can provide tranquilizers to be given to your pet immediately before going to the airport.
Your scent. Your pet can be comforted by having a piece of cloth with your scent on it.
Smaller Animals
Hamsters, birds and other small animals can easily be transported in your car. To help keep the animals calm and quiet, cover cages with a cloth. Also, make sure they have food and water available.
Fish
It can be very impractical and risky to move fish. Check with your local pet store for recommendations on moving your specific type of fish.
About Moving Companies

Inquire about their on-time record and other complaints with the local Better Business Bureau or consumer complaints department.
Movers are limited by law regarding what they can give you for lost or damaged goods. Make sure your moving partner has a good insurance policy. Signing contracts can give you extra protection.
A standard gratuity is $10-$15 per crew member if they do a good job $0 if they are not good. Get a bid for your interstate move or an estimate for your local move and make sure that it is in writing.
Ask for the number of hours expected for the local move services. For the bid, you want a guaranteed cost.
Be sure all charges are listed on your bill of lading.
Inform your moving company of stairs, elevators or difficult access for their equipment. Cross country moving vans are 70 feet in length and 13 feet tall.
Watch loading and unloading by the crew and examine items carefully on delivery, check off the inventory (interstate or storage related moves) as your goods are removed from the truck.
Document an inventory of your belongings before you pack.
Protecting the Environment
Following are some general suggestions to help you protect the environment before, during and after your move
Yard
Sweep instead of hosing down driveways.
Use sand or kitty litter instead of salt on icy sidewalks.
Minimize paved surfaces on property and retain as much vegetation and rural wetlands as possible.
Use water-based products rather than solvent-based.
Reduce or eliminate the use of pesticides - use mulch and organic fertilizers instead.

International Moving Tips
Company Relocation Policy
Your company's relocation policy probably has a given weight allowance for ocean transport, which generally covers the relocation expenses of a typical household. An additional allotment may be provided for air freight transport of items that your family will need immediately upon arriving in your destination country (i.e., essentials that can't wait) until your sea-bound shipment arrives. If your moving needs exceed your company's allotments, the excess items can be moved at your expense or placed in storage. New York Movers – Remarkable Movers International will provide you with a detailed estimate of the costs so that you can decide how you want to handle an overage situation.
Storage
If needed, your company may pay for the storage of some of your household goods for a defined length of time while you're away on your assignment abroad. As an alternative to storage, if there are items you won't need or can't use at destination, you might want to consider selling them instead; it may be more cost effective, and the money you get for your unneeded items will certainly come in handy.
Country Information
Since every country has its own laws and customs, it's a good idea to study the etiquette and customs of your destination country beforehand. This will help you avoid any inadvertent problems after you've relocated. The country's consulate is an excellent source of this information. The U.S. embassy of your new country can provide a list of schools that are referred to as American schools that follow the traditional U.S. curriculum and provide all instruction in English. Health care around the world is different in every country, in terms of how it's managed. Also, the consulate or U.S. State Department can advise you on what the current situation is regarding health care for foreign nationals in the country you're moving to.
Restricted Items
There are often strict restrictions on what you can and cannot take across the host country's borders. Guns, alcohol, controlled substances, and even certain types of literature are strictly prohibited in certain nations. Your New York Movers – Remarkable Movers International relocation coordinator can discuss this with you well in advance of your move. To find out about specific customs information for the country you are moving to, click here. Some of your appliances and other electrical items may not work in your new home, or may need special adapters. Ask your New York Movers – Remarkable movers International coordinator which types of electrical devices typically can't be used outside the U.S.
Visas / Passports
You'll want to be in touch with the consulate of the country to which you're relocating, to obtain all of the legal documents and permits that allow your immigration to the new country. You can obtain your passport application by simply paying a visit to your local post office. You'll need two (2) specially-sized photos and a copy of your birth certificate. Complete your application well in advance, allowing at least 2-3 weeks for processing and delivery. The consular representative can advise you as to whether or not visas are required and how to obtain them. Work permits also may be required; if so, they must be obtained before leaving the country.
Personal Records / Valuables / Documents
You and your family should get complete medical and dental check-ups prior to your move, so that all of your records are current and up-to-date. Obtain all personal records-e.g., prescriptions and medical records, school transcripts, marriage and birth certificates, vehicle registrations, etc.-and carry them personally. Valuables from safe deposit boxes, jewelry boxes, and dresser drawers should be carried with you as well.
Vaccinations / Inoculations
You may need immunizations, inoculations, or booster shots before moving overseas, and your children will most likely need them to enroll in school; you can find out what inoculations are necessary by calling the consular representative of your destination country or the U.S. Public Health Service Quarantine Division. Also check with the consular representative of the country to which you're moving about required inoculations. The U.S. Public Health Service can advise you about optional immunizations.
Air Freight
Set aside the items you will ship by air -specifically the essentials that you'll need prior to the arrival of your other goods. Make a list of items you should carry with you on your trip-e.g., jewelry, passports, visas, prescriptions, etc.
Financial Matters
As an American citizen living overseas, you'll have to deal with U.S. and foreign tax obligations. Most large, international accounting and consulting firms have departments that specialize in overseas planning for all your financial and tax needs. Close charge accounts that you won't use overseas, as well as savings and checking accounts. Consult the overseas representative at your local bank about currency exchange rates, letters of credit, transfer of funds, etc.
Transit Protection
