What is the Uniform Household Goods Bill Of Lading?
This document is the CONTRACT between you and the mover. All movers are required to prepare this document for each individual shipment. The bill of lading is required by law to have the same information on it as the order for service, such as the shippers name and address, cosignee’s name and address, agreed upon price, the agreed upon dates, pick-up and delivery, complete description of special services to be provided, the agreed upon liability (insurance), and the maximum amount required by law to be paid to relinquish possession of your goods at time of delivery. Same as with the order for service, if the agreed upon information is not correct, make sure it gets corrected before you sign it. The uniformed household goods bill of lading requires the mover to provide the services you have requested, and you are responsible to pay for the services provided. Make sure the driver gives you a copy. This is your contract and you may need to refer to it at a later date. What should I do whe
