How to File a Damage Claim After Moving

Even with careful handling, the rare damage can happen during a move. Knowing the right steps helps you report and resolve it quickly and fairly.

Inspect on delivery

Check your goods as they are unloaded, against the inventory list prepared at packing. Open boxes of fragile items where possible before the crew leaves.

Report immediately

Report any damage to the moving company as soon as you notice it, ideally within 24 hours. Prompt reporting is usually a condition for claims.

Document the damage

• Take clear photos of the damaged item and its packing.
• Note the item against your inventory list.
• Keep all paperwork - the quotation, invoice and consignment note.

File the claim

If you took transit insurance, the company helps you submit the claim with photos and documents to the insurer, who assesses and settles it as per the policy.

Prevention is best

Choosing a registered mover with quality packing and insurance greatly reduces both the risk and the hassle if anything goes wrong.
