How and when should I pay?

Tariff provisions require that all charges be paid before your shipment is unloaded at destination (unless prior arrangements have been made for later billing.)

Most national van lines will except one of the following payment methods: cash, traveler's check, money order or cashier's check. In addition, major credit cards can be used to pay for interstate moves only, with advanced approval required prior to loading (unless other billing arrangements have been made.)

All payment forms apply to both binding and non-binding estimates.

If you have received a non-binding estimate and your actual move costs exceed the estimate, you will be required to pay NO MORE than 110% of the estimated delivery cost at delivery. Should your actual costs exceed the estimate by more than 10%, you will be given 30 days after delivery to pay the amount over the 110%. Payment of the estimated charges plus 10% does not apply if goods are delivered into storage. If storage at destination (storage-in-transit) is necessary, all transportation charges must be paid at time of delivery of the shipment to the warehouse. You will them be assessed storage charges based on the applicable rates set forth in the tariff.
