Section 1: Deposit Refunds

You are entitled to an immediate refund of any initial deposit paid less any costs we would have spent towards your move ahead of cancellation (i.e. purchase of packing material) plus a £30 admin charge.

Critical Timeframe: You must notify us at least 72 hours before your scheduled move date for this to be effective.

Any cancellations after this 72-hour period will forfeit your deposit and we will not be liable to repay any deposit unless expressly discussed and agreed via email with Removals & Transport.

3. Payment Terms & Balance

3.a Payment Due Date

All balances become due and must be paid 72 hours before the specified day of delivery as per quote discussed between the customer and Removals & Transport.

3.b Payment Method & Timing

Normally all balances are charged to your registered payment card no less than 72 hours before your booking date.

For bookings taken under this timeframe of 72 hours we accept instant bank transfer by the customer to Removals & Transport business account or the usage of payment links on the selected move date. All payments must clear prior to loading.

Important: We reserve all rights to request full balance payment BEFORE unloading at any destination (delivery) address given to Removals & Transport by the customer at our discretion. Any initial payment of a deposit from the customer to Removals & Transport constitutes the customers contractual acceptance of these terms.

3.c Right of Lien - Goods Retention (CRITICAL)

If there is any refusal to pay such balance prior to unloading then we unconditionally reserve the right to hold/store customers goods for an additional hourly charge:

  • £80 per hour per vehicle, OR
  • £450 per vehicle per day (fixed charge)

This will immediately form an additional cost to the original agreed amounts on quote as until the customer decides to pay respective monies owed.

SALE OF GOODS CLAUSE: Should 7 calendar days have elapsed from the initial agreed day of delivery and the customer has not finalized outstanding payments as per above, then we unconditionally reserve the right as a company to dispose of or sell any or all items in our possession which would have been initially collected from the customers address to recuperate costs.

Any payment of an initial deposit to Removals & Transport constitutes the customers contractual acceptance of these terms.

4.b Additional Waiting Charges

Any pre-agreed costs as per quote will cover the customer for the period of time as stated above unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Waiting Fee: If there is any extensive waiting time for access to destination property for unloading beyond this timeframe of 4 hours then Removals & Transport reserves the right to additionally bill the customer £50 per hour per vehicle for each hour that we have to wait for access to destination property unless previously expressly agreed with customer as per wait time and access.

5. Parking Distance & Porterage

The customer agrees that the standard distance between the pick-up/destination address and where we park our vehicle for loading/unloading is no more than 20 metres.
