Damage and loss claims

File a damage claim

If something was damaged or went missing on your move with us, tell us here. This form is your claim in writing.

The email or the phone number on your move, at least one. We use it to find your move and to answer you.

Optional. Up to 10 photos (JPEG, PNG, HEIC or WebP) or PDFs such as receipts and repair quotes, 10 MB each. Only our claims team sees them.

If you give us your phone number, you agree that a MileWay Moving And Storage coordinator may call you at that number about your claim. We text only people who opt in on our estimate form. Msg & data rates may apply and message frequency varies. Reply STOP to opt out of texts at any time or HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of any purchase or service. See our Privacy Policy and Text Message Terms.

Please keep the damaged items and their packing until we have looked at them. Anything you do not have now can be sent later by replying to the email that confirms your claim.

Button not working? Call (612) 662-5609 or email info@hiremileway.com and we will take it from there.

Your rights and our deadlines

You have 9 months from the day we delivered your goods, or should have delivered them, to file a claim in writing. We confirm we received it within 10 days, and within 90 days we pay it, decline it in writing with the reason, or make you a firm written offer.

What we pay depends on the liability level on your bill of lading: the standard $1.25 per pound of shipment weight, the full value you declared, or 60 cents per pound per article if you chose released value. On a loading, unloading or packing only job it is 60 cents per pound per article, up to the limit in your labor agreement. If you disagree with our answer, you may take it to court within 2 years and 1 day from the day we decline it in writing.

Rather do this by phone?

Call us and a coordinator will write the claim down with you. You can also email it; the day we receive it is the day your claim is filed.
