I'm assuming they aren't responsible for damage to owner-packed boxes, unless they damage a box in shipment.

Thanks in advance!
If you are concerned about this, your very best bet is to ask the mover. If you are REALLY concerned about this, I suggest you get the mover's response in writing. Nothing any of us say will have the slightest influence if something becomes damaged on the trip regardless of who damages it unless you have the agreement in writing. I'm not an attorney but I am speaking from experience. Get it in writing.
