Frequently Asked Questions

A.Related to Packing

We prioritize the safety of your belongings and use top-quality, durable packing materials. These include sturdy boxes, cushioning peanuts, bubble wrap, and stretch wrap, all meticulously selected to provide maximum protection during transit. We ensure that your items are securely packed and protected from any potential damage.
You have the option to pack your own belongings, but we highly recommend professional packing, especially for delicate or fragile items. Our experienced team is trained in proper packing techniques, ensuring that your valuables are handled with utmost care and protected from damage during the move.
We treat your fragile items with special attention. Each item is individually wrapped in multiple layers of bubble wrap, providing a secure cushion. Then, they are carefully placed inside specially designed boxes with extra cushioning material to prevent any movement or shifting that could cause damage during transit.

B. Related to Planning

We encourage you to schedule your move at least 4-6 weeks in advance. This allows us to ensure our availability, coordinate our team, and create a detailed plan for your move. Early planning helps us provide you with a smoother and more efficient moving experience.
The off-peak season, typically mid-September to April, is often the best time to move. This is because it's less busy, which usually means more availability and often more competitive pricing.

D. Related to Cost of Packing and Moving

We determine the cost of your move based on several factors, including:
  • The volume of goods you need to move (how much space they take up)
  • The distance of your move
  • The type of packing materials required (e.g., specialized boxes for delicate items)
  • Any additional services you need (e.g., furniture disassembly and reassembly).
We offer both binding and non-binding estimates. A binding estimate guarantees that the final cost will not exceed the quoted price. A non-binding estimate provides a preliminary idea of the cost, but it may be subject to adjustments based on unforeseen circumstances. We'll clearly explain the difference between the two options so you can choose the best fit for your needs.
We aim to be transparent about all potential costs upfront. However, some unexpected charges may arise due to unforeseen circumstances, such as:
  • Access issues (like narrow doorways or stairs)
  • Additional services requested after the initial quote (e.g., additional packing materials)
  • Unforeseen complications related to your belongings or the move itself. We'll communicate any potential additional charges as early as possible so you can make informed decisions.

E. Related to Transit Insurance

We offer comprehensive transit insurance options designed to protect your belongings during the move. These include:
Full-value protection: Covers the full value of your items, offering complete peace of mind in case of loss or damage.
Released value protection: Provides a standard level of coverage based on the value of your belongings.

Transit insurance is typically an additional cost, but we're happy to include it in your quote upon request. We'll ensure that the insurance coverage you choose aligns with your specific needs and budget.
If unfortunately, any damage occurs to your belongings during the move, please contact us immediately. We'll guide you through the claims process step-by-step. We aim to resolve the issue as quickly and efficiently as possible to your satisfaction.
