Robbins and Company is one of the leading companies in the Pacific Northwest for heavy lifting and moving. We are family owned and operated and have been in the Seattle area since 1952. Our experience in raising house and moving structures or heavy equipment began when we assisted in the development of the Denny Regrade project, which was part of the Interstate 5 build. Since that time our customers’ demands required that we provide services in addition to building moving and raising. Over the years, we have branched out into other areas, becoming a full service licensed General Contractor. The team we have built offers professionalism as well as unparalleled experience to help with any need you may have.

All loose items must be packed in boxes to prevent loss or damage while moving. It is
recommended that you pack all items and leave the drawers empty.
Items of extraordinary value such as jewelry, money, antiques, and stamp collections
can be included in your shipment, provided that you notify your local moving representative
of these items before packing and moving day. It is strongly recommended that you carry
irreplaceable and expensive articles with you, or make alternate arrangements for their
transport.
In the moving industry, items worth more than $100 per pound are considered to be articles
of "extraordinary value.” To be assured that a claim involving these articles is not limited
to minimal liability, complete and sign your mover's high-value inventory form.
Also, be sure to sign the "Extraordinary Value Article Declaration" box, if applicable, on
your Bill of Lading.
Each mover has a slightly different procedure to follow as it relates to high-value items.
Ask your relocation specialist to provide you with an explanation of their company's process.
This is a confusing (but important) task, so be sure that you clearly understand the rules
prior to load day.
