How the claims process works

  1. 1

    Notify us within 9 months

    Federal regulations give you up to 9 months from delivery to file a written claim. Sooner is always better — call or email as soon as you notice damage or loss.

  2. 2

    Document the issue

    Take dated photos of damaged items in the spot they were unwrapped, plus the original packaging. Save serial numbers and any repair estimates you obtain.

  3. 3

    Submit the claim form

    Email the form below to our claims team. We'll confirm receipt within one business day and assign a dedicated claims specialist.

  4. 4

    Resolution

    Per FMCSA rules we'll acknowledge the claim within 30 days and pay, deny, or make a settlement offer within 120 days. Most claims are closed inside 30.

What to include in your claim

  • Move date and order/job number
  • Origin and destination addresses
  • Itemized list of damaged or missing pieces with descriptions and approximate values
  • Photos of the damage and the packaging
  • Repair / replacement estimates if available
  • Preferred resolution: repair, replacement, or settlement

Coverage applies to articles transported by Nation Movers and follows the valuation option selected on your bill of lading. Released-value protection is $0.60 per pound per article; full-value protection covers the cost of repair, replacement, or cash settlement.
