Business ProfileforBecker Movers

Be sure you are explained about liability for your goods! Becker Movers moved and stored our entire household goods last May and returning to our new home the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Customers need to understand what New York State allows movers to get away with reducing their liability for you goods to paying you .30 per 100 lb, of weight for your goods. It is the required state regulation that Becker Movers was to thoroughly explain this severe reduction in their liability and explain the customer's opportunity to buy full liability at an additional cost. Becker was suppose to leave a published booklet by the state explaining this reduced liability for Becker. This explanation was never done nor was the booklet given to us. Someone wrote a .30 number in our contract of which we never agreed. After returning our goods with mattresses soiled (we gave them mattress covers that were never used. $5000 worth of brand new leather living rm couch and loveseat was scraped in the truck and never covered properly, The back of both were damaged beyond repair, There was scrapes and dents to other pieces of furniture. Most of our boxed were damaged from over stacking. An antique table was broken in half. After contacting Mr. Becker he explained that we are only allowed .30 per hundred weight for the damage. After asking were did that come from, he told us we turned down full overage. He told the same lie in small claims court and sent us a $270 check for the damages to our goods. We found out later most movers absorb the additional insurance cost for full liability and include it in their fees. This was a pure definition of negligence on the part of Becker Movers. BE SURE TO ASK ABOUT WHAT LIABILITY IN YOUR MOVING FEES! They will never move another item for our family and friends.
