In
addition, interstate movers are required to participate
in a Dispute Resolution Program which provides that
certain types of unresolved loss or damage claims
must be submitted to a neutral arbitrator for resolution.
You may find submitting your claim to arbitration
under such a program to be a less expensive and more
convenient way to seek recovery of your claim. Movers
are required to advise all COD shippers of the existence
and details of the arbitration program before they
accept a shipment to be transported. If the mover
does not provide you with information about a dispute
resolution program before you move, ask the mover
for the details of the program.
CONCLUSION
Should
you have any questions about your move which are not
answered in this pamphlet, do not hesitate to ask
the mover's representative who handled the arrangements
for your move, the driver who transports your shipment,
or the mover's main office for additional information.
