Accouterments Questions

Can Moving Management help me pack my belongings?

While Moving Management offers residential relocation services, our capacity to help with the individual organization of your belongings remains limited. Our professional expertise lies primarily within the actual physical relocation and completion of the relocation, rather than the organization of the individual belongings that would logically precede such a relocation. To this end, Moving Management does not currently offer packing services.

While our obligation-free assessment does come free for our corporate and government customers, there are circumstances that may alter those conditions. As always, Moving Management insists that our customers not pay for any of our services that they have not personally observed or experienced. Despite this, there are certain situations where the assessment provided by our associates may prove inaccurate. In certain cases, peripheral factors such as vehicle breakdowns, additional labour, and the extended storage of personal belongings can potentially incur additional charges. These charges, and all others, are subject to our pre-audit and post-audit reviews, and require authorization and approval from our customers in order to be enforced.
