When will I find out the deposit amount on a provider I ordered through WhiteFence?

You will find out your deposit amount once your order has been accepted. When the order is accepted and there is a deposit, the provider will indicate this information in the deposit field of your "My Orders" page. Remember, a deposit is different from an initial charge. Although the initial charge may include the deposit amount, this is not always the case.

Moving 101: Do I really need moving insurance?

Yes, you do. Most accidents occur when you least expect them or when you're not covered for them. And unless you buy moving insurance, your property is probably not covered for all that it is worth.

Your moving company automatically provides valuation, not insurance. Your moving company can provide three different types of valuation: declared value, lump sum value and full value protection. To find out about these different types of coverage, you can read the article Should You Purchase Moving Insurance?

Additionally, you should explore other insurance options. Check with your homeowners insurance, as they typically cover 10 percent of the value of your personal property while it is in transit. Also, you can look into transit insurance, which you can buy from your insurance agent or most moving companies.

Can I apply for more than one service provider through WhiteFence at the same time?

Definitely! You can order all the services you need for your home at the same time. However, you should only order service from one provider in each category as ordering from several providers in one category may cause delays. For example, if you request service from multiple electricity providers, it could cause a delay in your service being turned on while the electricity providers sort out which provider should service your address.
