FAQ

Questions about Home Shifting

Which items should I carry myself?

Cash, jewellery, documents and medicines should travel with you rather than in the consignment. Declare high-value, fragile and hazardous items before packing starts.

Is packing material included in the price?

Material for the agreed scope is itemised in the written estimate. There are no surprise additions; any change to the scope is confirmed with you first.

What changes the price?

Volume, distance, floor access, lift availability, parking distance and whether the vehicle is shared or dedicated. All of them are listed as cost factors in the estimate.

Do you unpack as well as pack?

Yes. Unloading and unpacking into the rooms you specify is part of the scope. Say what you want during the requirement review and it goes into the estimate.
