- Storage
- Our storage services are designed to be Full
Service. We are not a self-storage facility.
Your furniture is never put in a position where it is intermingled
with unclean or dangerous items, as can be the case in some public
warehouses. Your furniture will be loaded at your residence onto a
clean and modern moving van, taken to our facility and carefully
wrapped and secured in our warehouse. This type of storage is the
safest in the industry and is reasonably priced. The cost for
storage is $.40 per cubic foot per month with a minimum space of 200
cubic feet. The minimum is an area approximately 4 feet wide,
5 feet deep and 10 feet tall. This rate is prorated on a daily basis
so you never have to pay for days you are not actually storing your
goods.
-
- Unloading and wrapping the furniture as described
above is not charged by the hour. Rather these services are charged
at $.40 per cubic foot. When the items are unwrapped and re-loaded
the charges are applied again. These charges are what are commonly
referred to as warehouse labor.

- Insurance
- Do you need to purchase
additional insurance? Many movers offer insurance to cover damage,
and others may say something like "don't worry we're insured".
It is a good idea to be concerned about protecting your shipment.
Standard liabilities of all moving companies are far below the
actual value of your shipment unless you supplement with additional
coverage. Do you need additional insurance? - To help answer
this common question, please go to
Illinois Commerce
Commission's page.
-
- We carry full workman's compensation
coverage and vehicle insurance. Limits to liability against damage
to items moved are 30 cents per pound. If another mover tells you
otherwise, you should ask for it in writing. When you are moving
valuable items (as most household items are) choose a mover with a
rock solid reputation. Check with the
Better
Business Bureau to check your movers record. Finally,
take an insurance policy against any unforeseen occurrence.
Additional protection against damage is available from Anderson Brothers
at various rates depending on your needs.

- Packing
- Professional packing services are our hallmark.
Our packers have a proven track record of careful attention to every
detail. This is the foundation of a full service move. This portion
of the move is usually the most expensive in terms of time and
money, but when items are securely packed, the overall move takes
less time. Professional unpacking services are available as well.
-
- Packing Cartons
- Professional Packing Cartons are available in
every size. Quality, professional materials used in your packing, is
the key to safe and efficient moving. Packaging materials such as
tape, bubble wrap and packing paper are also available. Materials
can be ordered by phone and delivered right to your door. A price
list of cartons and materials is printed on the backside of this
page.
-
- Estimates
- A written estimate is an important part of the
decision process when choosing a mover. Our accurate estimates are
provided at no charge. The most accurate estimate is when our
consultant makes a visual survey of your home. He then details the
costs for packing, moving and unpacking with no hidden charges. You
choose only the services you want.
