FAQ

What is the best time to make an order?

Of course the best and most guaranteed way to obtain a vehicle at the exact time of loading for office or apartment relocation, is to book in advance. Optimum is an order received 1 day in advance, ideally 2 days before the moment of the truck delivery.
But in the life of our customers is anything, so often we have to fulfill orders in a shortest possible time - which certainly pleases both parties, but we ask you very much to order in advance.

How much will it cost me to move with your company?

No moving company will give you an exact figure without getting all the necessary data. The price is calculated on an individual basis after our appraiser arrives on site and performs an inspection.

What can increase moving time and cost?

The most common reason that increases the cost of moving is congestion and traffic jams. In second place is the lack of parking space for a truck during loading or unloading. Elevator malfunction or breakage can greatly increase the time of the movers and, accordingly, the cost of moving an apartment or office. If you do not tell the dispatcher that you need to disassemble the closet, the estimated time of moving will also change.

What are your responsibilities?

We bear full material responsibility for our work. After the completion of the work, both parties sign an act of completion. In case of questions and disputes of a material nature, the relevant notes are made in the act.

Is it possible to pay by bank transfer?

Yes, we accept payment by bank transfer.
