There’s an old saying that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. A modern caveat to that would be “or watch closely as someone else does it.” Either way, moving is a hassle: the packing, the lifting, the unloading, and the confusion of trying to keep it all orderly. Like most things in life, you have to be proactive when moving, but there’s a thin grey line between being an assertive director and wrapping a neck tie around your head donning war paint like Richard Pryor. Instead of losing your mind, a little creative forethought can prevent many common moving nightmares.
Sometimes broken possessions are not the movers’ fault at all. Moving damage unfortunately comes with the territory. Opinions differ on who is responsible. According to movinginsurance.com, movers are not liable for damages incurred during a move, but according to the US Dept. of Transportation, they are liable. The DOT does recommend understanding what that level of liability is. Since it’s up to you to select the level of liability coverage on any interstate move, make sure you have a solid understanding of the company’s valuation policy in terms of the damage coverage they offer. Yes, they’re liable, but technically they don’t have to cover every penny.
There now. That’s one less thing to worry about, giving you more time to concentrate on what’s really important: buying stuff – furniture, for instance – which is easy if you’re active duty military.
The best way to get new furniture is with a low-interest military loan. A low-interest military loan can be granted with no money down, and with no interest for the first 90 days. That’s a same as cash loan for 90 days. After that, the interest that does apply is kept at a low rate to make your repayments easier. All active duty military personnel are qualified to apply, regardless of rank, pay grade, or credit history. Active duty personnel can apply right online, and approval is instant.
The best part? The money comes to you fast, so you can get on to shopping for that perfect living room suit – maybe even the latest and greatest. And who doesn’t want the latest and greatest?
