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.
