How do I make payment?
We accept payment either in cash, local check, certified check
or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover)
upon the completion of your move.
A deposit of $100 is required on all booked moves and will be
applied toward the final charges of your move. The deposit is
refundable with a 48 hour cancellation notice. This deposit can
be paid for by check, cash or by credit card.
How will the total charges be calculated?
The actual cost of your relocation will be determined by multiplying
the actual hours spent on your move by the hourly cost quoted
to you by our estimator. Please recognize that our estimated time
for the completion of your move is just that—an educated
estimate. As such, the actual time spent to relocate your assets
may differ from what we may have estimated.
Bulldog Movers, Inc. will not be responsible for delays due to
traffic or inclement weather.
How do you charge for partial hours?
The last hour of your move will be prorated by 15 minute increments.
Do you disconnect and reconnect appliances?
First, we highly recommend that you select a licensed electrician
or plumber for your appliance disconnect/reconnect needs. However,
in the instance you would like Bulldog Movers to do this task
for you, we will request that you sign a liability release form
which would absolve Bulldog Movers from any responsibility in
the even that any damages occur to your equipment during the disconnect/reconnect
process.
Can I leave things in the drawers?
Yes. You can leave all articles of clothing, non-breakable or
non-valuable items in drawers. The drawers will be secured shut.
It is suggested that you empty drawers (and pack them very lightly
with clothing only) of any fragile items.
Do all of my boxes need to be sealed?
Yes. All boxes should be closed and tape-up. For best results,
all boxes should be as fully packed as possible. Please identify
fragile boxes.
What if we have bad weather on move
day?
Bulldog Movers will complete the move if at all possible. Bulldog
Movers WILL NOT be responsible for soiling of carpets due to wet
or muddy conditions.
How does the valuation coverage work?
The hourly rate charged includes a LIMITED mover’s liability
at no charge. Our claim reimbursement is for loss or damage not
exceeding $300 per move, based on the depreciated value at the
time of loss or damage. There are items that are not covered under
the terms of our general liability policy unless crated, such
as mirrors, marble, naked glass, pool tables, grandfather clocks,
etc. (check with your sales consultant regarding third party services).
We also recommend that you remove any articles of extraordinary
monetary or personal value from the premises prior to the move
as we are not responsible for such items under the current government
regulations. We are not responsible for damage to plant life or
to the contents of any container not packed by our crew unless
there is external damage or evidence of mishandling. We suggest
you contact your home owner’s agent and ask to check for
a “marine clause” or “goods in transit”
in your existing content’s coverage. *Note: There is an
option to purchase Full Value Insurance at a cost of $8.75 per
$1,000 (no deductible) of the declared value of your shipment
($5,000 per room minimum), or $2.92 per $1,000 ($300 deductible).
Start times?
Unless otherwise confirmed, morning jobs begin between 9:00-9:30am,
and afternoon jobs begin between 1:00-4:00pm. Due to traffic in
the Atlanta area, Bulldog Movers cannot be held responsible for
delays out of our control.
