+971 54 400 8777Ask us
Q01Can I pack my effects myself?
Packing slip · Answer

You can, but we advise against it for international removals. Customs authorities expect a packing list prepared by the mover, and transit protection usually only covers items we packed.

Q02What will you dismantle and reassemble?
Packing slip · Answer

Beds, wardrobes, tables and other furniture that has to come apart to travel safely. We reassemble it at delivery. Fixed fittings and appliances wired or plumbed in need a tradesperson first.

Q03What if the volume of my shipment changes?
Packing slip · Answer

Tell your coordinator as soon as you know. We re-measure and confirm any change to the price or container size in writing before packing day.

Q04Do I have to be there at uplift and delivery?
Packing slip · Answer

You or someone you authorise should be present at both, to confirm what is going, sign the inventory and direct where things go.

Q05Do you unpack at final delivery overseas?
Packing slip · Answer

Yes. A door to door service includes delivery, unpacking, basic furniture assembly and removal of packing materials on the day.

Q06What items are you unable to move?
Packing slip · Answer

Dangerous goods such as aerosols, gas, paint and fuel, perishables, and anything the destination country prohibits. We give you a destination-specific list before packing.

Q07How long does moving to Dubai or Abu Dhabi take?
Packing slip · Answer

Air freight typically takes days and sea freight typically takes several weeks door to door, depending on where you are coming from. We give a route-specific estimate at survey.

Q08Are there import restrictions when moving to the UAE?
Packing slip · Answer

Yes. Like every country, the UAE restricts or prohibits certain items. Rules change, so we check your packing list against current requirements before shipping.
