Generally, people move when they are ready or when they need to. However, we like to advise clients to avoid moving at the end of the month if they can and do the moving somewhere in the middle of the month. This is because at the end month all good moving companies have their resources very stretched.

Move duration depends on the nature of the specific move. Is it a local move or an international one, what is the volume and nature of your goods, what about access to the house, etc . A good moving company should advise you the move duration as part of their proposal and explain how it is arrived at.

he biggest determinants of move costs are volume of the goods and distance. Different moving companies use different formulas to calculate the charges. Other cost determinants are packing requirements, access to the facilities, etc. For international removals the cost regime in the destination and origin countries, as well as freight costs play a very major role. It is always easy to get a break down of the cost from a good moving company

 Ideally, no one should ever loose their items when moving. However, such things do happen in real life. The best protection is in the first place to procure services only from a reputable removals company. One that engages professionalism it's work and understands that it's first duty is to protect the interest get to know where their office is situated and check if they accept responsibility when things go south. Such a company will most likely have insurance covers for professional liability. However, it is always advisable to take a personal Good In Transit or Marine Insurance cover for your goods. This will help in case of accidents.

Different moving organizations have different payment methods just like in any other sector. These are cheques, cash, credit cards and MPESA in Kenya. Terms of payment should always be agreed with the removal company prior to job execution.
