Terms and Conditions of Moving Companies

Make sure that you understand the terms and conditions when entering into a contract with moving companies. You do not have to physically sign a contract to be held accountable to these terms and conditions. Most furniture removal companies assume that you have accepted the terms and conditions as soon as you accept a quote from them and confirm your moving date. The first thing that you need to know is that no removal company will accept liability for loss or damage to your goods no matter what the circumstances. Make sure that you are covered for furniture in transit by your household insurance or take out additional cover for the move.

Although it is necessary to give moving companies access to your property and you may be present during the move, you may not give instructions to the movers or become involved in any manner. The quote can also be amended by the removal company due to unforeseen circumstances such as the increase in the price of diesel or petrol. Stay in contact with the company and ensure that nothing has changed from the date of your original quotation. The removal company also reserves the right to change the date of your move without prior notice for any reason whatsoever.

Ensure that you are aware of the labour that is included in your quote. If you are paying for a packing service or the removal of curtains and other costs associated with the disassembly and reassembly of items, make sure that these details are itemised on your quote, which you can show to the person supervising the removal. There are many more terms and conditions that you must be aware of and you should always ensure that you understand them before the date of your move arrives.
