Questions About Moving Quotes
Find answers to common questions about our moving services
A good quote should itemize: vehicle type, crew size, estimated duration, what protection is included, and whether packing is included or extra. Ask for clarification on anything unclear before booking.
Yes, most movers offer packing as an add-on. Full packing typically adds AED 500-2,500 depending on property size. Partial packing (kitchen only, fragiles only) is also available.
Reputable movers provide time estimates and don't charge extra unless there's unexpected work (e.g., items not disclosed, difficult access). Confirm the policy on time overruns before booking.
Basic assembly (beds, wardrobes, tables) is typically included. Complex items like IKEA furniture with missing parts, built-in units, or items requiring special tools may incur extra charges.
Building permits aren't typically included in the base quote. We handle the application process, but the fee (AED 100-300) may be passed through. Some buildings don't charge for permits.
