A Shyft Video Survey is a video call that enables your Shyft Move Coach to assess your inventory list over a video call done via the Shyft Next app, the moving help app available on iOS or Android. The video survey is an important step in finding the right movers that suit your needs and budget. Your dedicated Shyft Move Coach will complete a short video chat with you, during which you’ll guide them through your house and the belongings that you want to move. In less than 30 minutes, they will extract the entire inventory list, which will be used to find movers; hence, you will not have multiple people in your home. This inventory list will be used to source quotes from reputable moving companies. Read more about Shyft’s Video Survey.

When it comes to downsizing your home, there is a lot to gain by moving to a smaller place. Many people have opted to move into apartments, condos, or even retirement villages to make life easier and more comfortable. AARP Moving Services powered by Shyft has created a complete downsizing checklist that can help you through the process.
Moving quotes for long distance and international moves are based on your inventory or estimated weight (volume of items) and the distance of the move. Local moving quotes are based on the number of hours it will take to complete the move, and the moving quote is usually based on an estimated number of hours.
Moving insurance covers losses or damage to your possessions during a move. Because moving puts your possessions at risk of damage and theft, a moving insurance policy can help reimburse you for any mishaps during the moving process. Shyft offers full value protection coverage for your belongings to protect the things that are important to you.
Make sure that the moving company you choose has a current license to do what they say they do. Every safe moving company should have a USDOT number, even more so if they are interstate moving companies. This is according to the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and you can check out FMCSA to ask for the number. When you choose AARP Moving Services powered by Shyft, all moving companies are already vetted and independently verified as trusted suppliers, so you won’t have to go through the hassle of checking up on them yourself.
If you have damaged items after the move, please contact your Shyft Move Coach. Reimbursement is based on your chosen moving coverage.
