If we are running early or late, we will call you as soon as possible and let you know. Please make sure we have a phone number to get in touch with you on moving day.
Inclement Weather: Additional costs may be incurred due to delays in service caused by inclement weather. Elite Movers Denver might at times have to discontinue work for a period or possible reschedule due to unsafe working conditions due to weather. All walk ways must be cleared of any snow, ice, water, mud, in order for our crews to provide any and all services. The crew is able to assist with snow and ice removal but they will do so on the clock. In case of a snow or ice storm, jobs might be cancelled to avoid bodily injury or equipment damage depending on severity or conditions. Jobs will be rescheduled beginning the first available date after the storm or as our schedule allows.
Jewelry and Other Valuables: Please note that we will not be liable for any valuables such as documents, medicine, priceless items, jewelry, and currency.

Liquids: Liquids of any kind can be packed, but not transported by Elite Movers Denver LLC.
Unsanitary Items: Elite Movers Denver LLC Has the right to deny any transportation of any item that we deem unsanitary. Please keep in mind we serve multiple customers per day and it’s our responsibility to keep our trucks sanitary at all times. Examples include but are not limited to:
1. Items covered in feces or urine
2. Items anywhere close to feces or urine
3. Items overly covered in dust or dirt
4. Any Items possible containing any type of rodent or bugs
Trucks: We use smaller trucks for smaller jobs; that is another reason we ask for a detailed list of the items to be moved. There is never any guarantee that all of your items will fit into one load.
Plasma and Flat Screen/ Flat Panel TV’s are susceptible to damage from extreme temperatures, slight bumps, and altitude changes. The original packaging is best for moving them. These items must be crated or packed in original boxes before shipment. We will not move these items without packing/crating properly.
If We Pack: We highly recommend our packing service. Once we pack your goods, you will never do it yourself again! Call and speak with a Customer Service Representative for details. We would be happy to arrange a professional packing crew for you.
Contents of Drawers: All drawers of Pressed Wood or Particle Board furniture must be completely empty. The contents of all desk drawers must be removed. Standard file cabinets (2 drawers only) can stay packed, however, the drawers either must be locked or securely taped shut. Lateral and Fireproof file cabinets must be emptied.
Clothing may remain in dresser drawers, but please remove fragile, valuable, and heavy items (i.e. perfume, jewelry, books, papers, etc.)
Elevators: Be sure to contact your building supervisor to reserve the elevator and have it padded for the day of your move. Also, note any time restriction that might apply.
Damages: At the beginning of every move, the foreman will do a walk-through with you, the customer, and advise you of any damages that are already present on household items. In the event that the customer chooses to not use our protective services, and sign a release of liability, Elite Movers Denver LLC WILL NOT be held liable/cover/reimburse you for any damage that may occur because of your refusal to use our wrapping/packing services. Although our movers will be as careful as possible, from time to time damages may occur. If there is damage, notify your movers immediately. Damages must be noted on your contract. If you discover damage after the move, call the office within 48 hours of your move. No damage claims will be honored until the charges for moving services have been paid in full.
Damages caused while loading or unloading your truck or storage unit: Elite Movers Denver LLC Is only responsible for items in our immediate care, custody, and control.
Elite Movers Denver LLC reserves the right to repair any damaged item before you have it repaired or replaced. In case you choose to repair or replace the damaged item before Elite Movers Denver LLC has been given an opportunity to do so, the company will be only liable to $.60 per pound per article as stated by law.
Press wood/Pressboard: Any kind of furniture that is made out of this material will have very limited to no value as far as liability of the company. The Moving Factor will not disassemble or reassemble furniture made of this material. Should you choose to disassemble your furniture, we will move the pieces and will not reassemble upon delivery.
Appliances: Elite Movers Denver LLC Will not disconnect and reconnect washers, dryers and refrigerators. We will not replace electrical cords on dryers. Refrigerator doors sometimes need to be removed in order to go through narrow hallways or doors. Elite Movers Denver LLC Will take off doors that have water or electrical connection going through them and we will remove freezer bottom drawers on refrigerators. Washers that are front loaders have locks to secure the drum during the transit. Elite Movers Denver LLC can install and remove these locks, but you must provide these locks in order for Elite Movers Denver LLC to move the washer in a safe manner (these locks usually come with the washer when purchased.) Elite Moves Denver LLC will not be held liable for any internal damage to any electrical or electronic equipment (which may be a loose wire, blown fuse, etc.) Elite Movers Denver LLC are in no circumstance responsible for any type of water leak or water damage what so ever. It is the customers responsibility to make sure the water line is properly attached and the washer is in working condition before job is finished. Elite Movers Denver LLC is not responsible for any of the components within the washer that may have been shook loose during transportation or delivery.
Released Valuation Coverage: Elite Movers Denver LLC provides Released Valuation Coverage on all moves. This is federally mandated default coverage of $0.60 per pound damage payout. It is not value based and has many exclusions that are listed below. We also hold $1,000,000.00 in General Liability Coverage. General Liability covers personal injury and personal property that is damaged through the course of normal business operations.
What is Not Covered: Exclusions Understanding the exclusions list will help you prepare better for your move. In addition to the list, we have also provided additional information for each item to help you understand why the items are excluded.
• Any items that were packed by the customer and not by our movers cannot be covered. Why: We cannot be sure how the box, crate or bin was packed and if it was packed correctly. Further, many boxes are used several times and their structure may not be adequate to prevent damage.
• Any furniture items when no furniture pads are used for protection (based on customer refusal). Why: Hiring professional movers is only half the battle. Furniture pads are extremely important in ensuring that your items are packed safely for transport.
• Special care items, including glass tops and mirrors or high value items without proper packing and preparation. Why: The best example of these are plasma and LCD TV’s. These items must be crated or packed in original boxes before shipment. We will not move special care items without packing or crating properly.
• Clay Pots will not be covered under any circumstances. Should you require Elite Movers Denver LLC to move clay pots, full or empty, we will do our best to move them in a safe manner, but being that they may have a crack going through unseen; every bump on the road could cause a breakage. Therefore, we will not be held responsible for any kind of planters/pots made of clay, porcelain, ceramic or glass.
What is Covered: Despite the long list of exclusions and limitations; we do cover items that we knowingly or without dispute damage. Released Valuation Coverage is provided on all items dropped or damages on site while in the possession of our movers, assuming they do not meet any of the exclusions above.
Release of Liability: Occasionally it may not be possible to place items where you would like them without possible damage to the items or premises. If this situation arises, our Foreman will present you with a release form indicating that you accept responsibility for any ensuing damage. Elite Movers Denver LLC will not attempt to bring your items to their desired location unless the release of liability has been signed.
Right of Refusal: We reserve the right not to service you under conditions that, at our sole discretion, we consider dangerous, unsanitary, or abusive. In the event we exercise this right, we will not be liable to you or any other entity for direct or consequential damages.
Gratuities for the Movers/Packers: We only mention this because so many people ask. It is customary in the moving industry, though it is not mandatory. If you feel that your movers have done a good job for you and you would like to tip them, you can either give the Foreman the full amount and it will be divided equally among the crew members, or you can give the tip to each mover individually, based upon your assessment of their performance. Should you need advice or help determining how much an average gratuity is, please contact our office.
If you have purchased an online special offer and have received an estimate of more hours than provided by said offer and agreed to the Terms and Conditions as specified, including the additional time charged beyond what is covered by said offer, and did not notify us that you want to use only the time allowed by the offer, you will be charged for the full time estimated for your move. It is your responsibility to notify the office at the time of booking of your intentions to either only use the allowed time by the offer or the complete move time reserved on the schedule for your move. There will be no exceptions to this policy.
