LED TVs, fridges, washing machines and ACs are packed and loaded upright. Every carton is labelled with its room, so unloading and setting is quick. Read our damage claim policy – insurance can be arranged for valuable items.
Getting appliances ready for shifting
Defrost and dry the fridge and freezer a day before, and keep the doors slightly open so they do not smell. After the move, let the fridge stand for a few hours before switching it on.
Drain the washing machine and lock its drum if it has transit bolts. Gas cookers and geysers should be disconnected by a technician.
Split ACs need a technician to pump down the gas before removing the indoor and outdoor units – our AC team does this and installs them again at the new home.
Moving with children, elders and pets
Moving day is busy and noisy. If possible, let children and elders spend it with relatives, or set up one quiet room with snacks, water and chargers.
Pack a bag for each child with clothes, a favourite toy and school things for the first days. Keep elders’ medicines with you, not in the vehicle.
Pets get stressed by strangers and open gates – keep them in a carrier or a closed room until the team has left.
Booking and payment terms
The price is fixed after a free survey, on site or by video call, and shared on WhatsApp in writing. It includes the vehicle, driver, labour and, for the with-packing option, packers and packing material.
A small advance confirms the date, and the balance is paid after the move, in cash or by bank transfer. There are no extra charges on the day unless you add items or services.
If you need to change the date, tell us at least a day before and we will move the booking at no cost.
Mistakes that make shifting expensive
The most common mistake is underestimating the amount of goods. If the vehicle is too small, a second trip is needed, which costs more than booking the right size at the start.
Not mentioning upper floors without a lift, a long walk from the gate or special items like a piano or safe also causes surprises on the day. Share these at the survey and they are included in the price.
Booking at the last minute at month-end, when most leases end, leaves fewer choices. Booking a few days earlier gives you your preferred date and time.
