Company History
The Chipman Corporation was founded by Arthur
and Dorothy Chipman in 1939, as our country was
beginning to emerge from the Great Depression.

They began with only one truck, a small warehouse
and, most importantly, a family commitment to
helping individuals and companies through the
challenging process of moving.  Their dream was to
build a moving company that would stand apart
from all others by living and breathing their core
values.

Today, more than eight decades later, Chipman has
grown to become one of the most successful moving
and logistics companies in the country.  We
successfully move 20,000+ families each year,
globally.  Our Workplace division relocates more
than 7,000 businesses of virtually every type and
size.

We want to thank you for including Chipman in your search for a qualified relocation company.  We invite you to visit our facilities, meet our employees, check our references, and discover for yourself why we are able to earn our customers' enduring trust and full satisfaction.

TERMS & CONDITIONS
The Proposal is valid for no more than 30-days from the date it was issued. By accepting the Proposal, Edgemoor - Garden Grove Civic Center Relocation agree to following.

Customer is responsible for charges resulting from changes in the size, scope and conditions of the project. Customer’s final charges will be based on the proposal’s pricing and rates for the actual services and actual materials provide during the project by Chipman. Chipman doesn’t provide pricing based on collective bargaining agreements or prevailing wage rates.

All services will be performed during regular business hours (8am - 5pm, Monday through Friday, excluding Holidays) unless otherwise specified in the Proposal.

If Customer requests service during irregular business hours, Chipman’s services will be charged at time-and-a-half of the stated rates after 5pm and all-day Saturday. Sunday and Holidays will be charged at double time of the stated rates.

The Proposal is based on Chipman having free and clear access (and egress) during the project to all docks, entrances, elevators, hallways, offices and common spaces during the project. It is Customer’s responsibility to secure Chipman's priority access to elevators. Access and egress delays, including those caused by other trades and third parties, will result in additional charges.
