Remarks/Reviews
Only after the work has been completed can each job be rated for decent price removal. It is strictly prohibited to use negative feedback to threaten our team or chauffeur in order to obtain job-related benefits that were not initially included in the job description or estimate.
In the unlikely event that negative feedback is left for the Decent Price Removal services, we reserve the right to investigate the cause of the feedback and either modify or not publish it if it is deemed unfounded, without your consent.
Customers have the option to pay a deposit for a service via bank transfer, with the remaining balance payable in cash or via bank transfer.
On the other hand, the consumer may be required to pay the entire cost of the task at the time of booking, with no liabilities upon completion.
The customer will be responsible for paying the driver the additional amounts in cash or by bank transfer if the job requires additional time to complete, if there are additional flights of stairs (if the customer ordered assistance), if there are additional stops, or if additional journeys are essential.
We reserve the right to modify prices or impose an additional fee in the event that circumstances that were not considered during the booking process are applicable.
Please be advised that our team members are prohibited from removing their safety shoes for health and safety reasons. Consequently, please make the necessary arrangements.
Equipment for transportation
Dollies, moving blankets, trolleys, harnesses, and tools for moving are included in our removal vans. However, if you require any supplementary equipment, such as a pump truck, please notify us at the time of booking.
Self-loading Service
The customer will be solely responsible for any damages caused during the transit if they choose to load or unload their own possessions into the van, which is referred to as the “self-load” service. Our driver will not be held liable for any damages that may occur.

When crossing the Dartford tunnel and other congestion charge zones, an additional £3 fee will be assessed, in addition to any applicable tolls or ferry fees. (Unless otherwise specified)
Insurance
The van is insured for all products up to £10,000. Insurance coverage is contingent upon the submission of an inventory list that includes all pertinent information regarding your possessions, including their respective values. The initial £250.00 per claim is not subject to our liability. The consumer is accountable for arranging additional insurance if necessary.
The goods will be safeguarded exclusively by our insurer, provided that our Decent Price Removal team prepares and packs them for transportation in accordance with the items specified in the Inventory List provided by our customer. However, if you pack your items independently, we will not be held accountable for any damage that occurs during transit.

If you are not traveling with our vehicles, please ensure that your phone is turned on so that the driver can approach you and inform you of his arrival time.
Parking
It is the customer’s responsibility to reserve a parking space in advance of our vans’ arrival. If there are no available parking spaces and restrictions, such as yellow lines, red routes, or residents only, and our vans receive a parking charge notice, commonly referred to as a “PCN,” any parking fines incurred will be the responsibility of the customer and must be paid upon completion. However, we will not park illegally, and the driver may be required to exit if legal parking is not provided.
Our driver may request a £65 deposit in anticipation of a potential consequence if you fail to issue the parking permit for our vehicle.

Verbal or threatening conduct will not be tolerated. The customer will remain responsible for the full payment if the driver is compelled to quit the job due to verbal or physical abuse from the customer. Otherwise, the relevant United Kingdom law will be enforced.
Damage
We will be held accountable for only the surface or specific area that is damaged, not the entire area, in the event that your belongings, with the exception of property, are damaged during the relocation process through the negligence of our team members.
We reserve the right to decline to transport bulky items if there is insufficient space in the property and a risk of causing damage to the walls or furniture. Therefore, please refrain from pressuring our team members to do so.
Please ensure that you have inspected your possessions upon the completion of your assignment. If you observe any damage, please notify our office within 24 hours, as we cannot be held responsible for lost or damaged property after this time.
