Our prices exclude customs duties, ferries, toll roads, inspections, or any other fees and taxes payable to government bodies.

Unless agreed to in writing, we will not handle furniture dismantling & assembling, equipment disconnection/reconnection, floor covering tasks, loft items (unless well-lit access is available), or storage of excluded items.

Insurance:

Goods are insured up to £10,000 if an Inventory List is provided. Extra insurance is the customer's responsibility.

Our Responsibility:

Our responsibility is to deliver your goods from the "moving from address" to the "moving to address" in the same condition as when packed.
