Do I need to be present on the day of removal? 

Yes, Please have yourself or a representative onsite to give direction and check what is to be moved or not to be moved, We are not responsible for anything that is left behind or mistakenly uplifted. 

How many movers will be available for the day of the move? 

It depends on the size truck and move. For long-distance removals, you will have a team of 3-5 people. For a local move a team of 2-3 people. 

what type of trucks do you have?  

We offer a huge range of Trucks, Depending on your requirements we will allocate the right size Truck to you. All our trucks are fully enclosed and we do offer bakkie loads for mini moves. The sizes ranges from 1 Ton, 3 Ton, 5 Ton, 6 Ton, 8 Ton, and bigger. 


Can I pack my own boxes? 

Yes, We encourage you to ensure All loose items are packed in sealed boxes, Our teams have been instructed to not carry loose and unpacked items. All items must be fully packed in boxes and Not overloaded/overfilled/over weight and be manageable. You may also as your consultant if you wish to opt for our packing service.

What if I have more furniture items to load on the day of removal? 

We encourage you to confirm that your inventory is accurate and that you have disclosed all the items needed to load before scheduled pickup. Our team may charge extra for extra items. Please disclose additional volume of goods before collection to ensure space has been reserved for any extra items. 
Any additional Volume will be charged upon upliftment - If Inventory changes was not disclosed at collection we may reserve the right not to load additional volume.

Do you have a damages policy?

The 2nd hand furniture we are carrying is unboxed, irregular in shape, and weight with varying quality. Some furniture is assembled furniture and is not even supposed to be transported in an assembled state. We offer to transport your personal goods of varying quality that is not boxed, irregular in shape, and packed in a confined compact space at your own risk but with the option of insurance. 


The all-risk insurance option is clearly offered for all the above valid reasons in the booking process before and after you book with us. 

We do try our best to ensure that we negate any opportunity for damage but no moving company can be expected to absorb all the risk with the handling and transport of furniture within the context of our risk when carrying 40 to 50 households a week all over the country. 

Having said that, We are serious about delivering the best service we can as often as we can.

How does payment work? 

In order for us to book your removal, we have to reserve space & Moving Truck, therefore we need a booking deposit. The deposit is calculated at 50% of your Removal quote. The balance has to be made 24 hours before scheduled pickup.

How many hours are allocated for the move? 

As much as is needed for the load. Collection takes between 1-2 Hours and delivery 1 hour so including travel I would say 3-4 Hours.

JHB Removal Reviews Hello Peter
Moving Company Prices & Quotes

Do your movers take care in not damaging my furniture during the move? 

Although we try our best to ensure perfect removals and take extra care, accidents do happen so we suggest opting in for our protective wrapping service or that you ensure proper protective wrapping is done before we collect. We do offer blankets in transit. 


Influences of Moving Companies Prices in Johannesburg , Gauteng, Pretoria & for National Moves

Many removal companies will offer subsidiary moving services like packing + unpacking, storage, protective wrap, dismantling and reassembling and furniture placement too. All these services do take time and manpower which will have an impact on moving company prices.  For Example - The dismantling and reassembling of 3 double beds will cost about R225 just because it would tale approximately 2 hours using 1 person which would need to be allocated with appropriate tools. 

However most removal companies have a basic or budget charge for your furniture removal only where we will provide a budgetary moving cost for uplifting and delivering your furniture to your new address. This will include a moving team, closed truck, blankets & trapping to facilitate a safe and secure removal.   Read More on How much do moving companies cost

Some items may require extra protection, such as fine art or antiques, or require the use of specialist equipment. The removal company may have to use more packing material or take more time packing and moving high-value or fragile items. The cost of handling these items will be based on the level of protection they need and the cost of hiring specialist equipment. 
All of the partnered removal companies in our network are insured with Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance.
