Dressers may have minimal clothing or linens inside. Breakables and loose items (e.g. make-up) must be removed and packed in a box. The drawers will then be rubber banded to keep them from sliding during transit.

Clothing, books, table lamps, lamp shades, light bulbs, pictures, wall hangings, mirrors, kid’s toys, tools, jewelry, small appliances, dishes, vases, memorabilia, etc. Anything that is loose, should be properly packed in a box or tote.

No. All items must be packed in a taped box or in a bin/tote with a fitted lid. This allows the movers to stack them in the truck without causing damage to your items.

Crews leave the office at 8 AM. If it is a local move, they should arrive to the origin between 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM. Times may vary depending on the service and traffic.

In order to receive a non-binding estimate, the office will need the following information. 1. First & last name of customer 2. Email address and phone number (estimate will be sent via email and text message) 3. Move date 4. Pick up & drop off addresses 5. List of inventory 6. Box count Once this information is obtained, an estimate will be sent within 24-48 hours. Out of state moves typically take up to 72 hours to process.

A deposit is required to hold your date and book your move. A $200 deposit is required for local moves and a $1000 deposit is required for long-distance moves. The balance is due upon completion of our services. We accept cash, checks, and debit or credit cards (3.0% credit card processing fee).

A customer should check if their movers are fully licensed and insured. This information should be available on the mover's website, advertising and trucks. When you call a mover, ask for their DOT and MC license numbers and then verify them with the Department of Transportation and the local authority. Shively’s is fully licensed and insured. We offer released value protection and full value protection coverage on all quotes.

Once an estimate is sent, the customer may sign the contract electronically and submit their deposit to save the date(s).

The 3.0% processing fee is only applicable when a customer uses a debit or credit card to pay for the balance of a move. We accept cash or check to avoid this fee. The 3.0% is NOT applied to the use of a card when paying for the deposit.

These rates are flat fees and cannot be changed. The fuel surcharge is tax based on the mileage between the pick up and the drop off. The travel charge (office to pick up, destination back to office) is part of our published tariff calculated by miles and are part of our regulations from the Public Utility Commission. Given the current economic environment of high fuel costs, we have implemented an incremental fuel charge based on round trip mileage. This fee is monitored closely and adjusted accordingly. When prices normalize, we will remove this fee.

When contracting a storage unit through Shively’s, we take great measures into making sure the customer’s furniture is protected. In a storage inbound quote, we include the first month of storage and an inventory clerk. Our units are also climate controlled and fully insured. We provide all materials and blankets at no extra charge.

Yes. All straps, bungees, blankets, mageliners, rings, rug runners, cardboard, etc. are included with pricing at no extra cost to the customer. The only items not included is boxes, carpet shield and shrink wrap unless purchased.

An inventory clerk will sticker each individual item and note it on an inventory sheet. This is for insurance purposes to see if any furniture was scratched, nicked or damaged before the movers touch the piece and it goes into our contracted storage. You would get your own copy at the end of the load up. They will become a mover once inventory is complete. Instead of charging for an entire mover, they will still be at the $55.00/hr. rate.

Released Value = Shipper releases this shipment to a value of sixty (60) cents per pound per article, at no cost to Shipper. This means the Shipper will be paid sixty (60) cents per pound for the net weight of the lost or damaged item, regardless of the actual value of the item. Released Value Protection selection is the default. Full Value Protection is available as an optional coverage that Shipper will need to initial in the area provided to include that coverage. There is no extra charge for this option. Full Value = If any article is lost, destroyed or damaged while in the Carrier's custody, the Carrier will either 1) repair the article to the extent necessary to restore it to the same condition as when it was received by the Carrier or 2) replace the article with an article of like kind and quality subject to the terms and conditions of the contract. Coverage is provided at a cost of $10.00 per $1,000.00 of value with a minimum requirement of $10,000.00 in valuation.
