| WHAT I EXPECT FROM YOU | WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME |
In order for our combined efforts to
run smoothly there are certain things that need to be agreed from the beginning
Reasonable packaging may require boxes of books to be easily lightened by half filling boxes with books and topped up with lighter items. Boxes should be securely taped up. Fragile items should be marked as such or indicated as being fragile in person on the day. Moving is stressful and is made worse by persons without an amiable attitude. During the move I expect teamwork in what is a temporary partnership for the duration of the (un)loading and transportion of your item(s) I understand that it is difficult to know whether parking is available near the destination address. However, you may note that parking is NOT allowed in that area (near a zebra crossing or traffic lights or RED lines etc.) PLEASE TELL ME WHEN YOU MAKE THE BOOKING |
GUARANTEED ARRIVAL TIMES
I will reduce the amount payable if I am late. However, the payable amount shall not be less than the cost of the diesel for the job. DUE CARE AND CONSIDERATION I have gained considerable experience working as a furniture and light haulage delivery driver and I shall apply that experience to lifting, (un)loading and conveying your item(s). I shall arrive in a van that is fit for the road with the correct insurance and with adequate breakdown recovery.  GOOD ATTITUDE You can expect me to be kind, friendly and empathic to your needs. I will be patient if you need to collect or deliver keys or wait for an estate agent. I shall engage in friendly and lively conversation on a wide range of topics and hopefully demonstrate wit, humour and a decent education. I shall also lift heavy items and provide tools to dismantle/reassemble your items if neccesary. In the event that (un)loading is compromised by circumstances beyond my control other than by traffic delays i.e. excessive distances from the parked van to the properties including height beyond 2 storeys without a lift or by waiting for packing to be completed or by excessive delays in entering the properties or by failure to disclose reasonable information about the location and position of either the collection address or delivery address or by unreasonable delay caused by you, further charges may be levied. Such charges are to compensate for any extra work and/or for penalty fees which may become payable to a third party. However, since inception of the business I have only levied further charges 5 times despite countless times being unneccesarily delayed. This is because I expect such things to occur and I always plan accordingly to compensate for the levels of stress experienced by customers when preparing to move to a new area. |

GUARANTEED ARRIVAL TIMES
By having an extensive knowledge of the UK road network, gained through over a decade of time specific deliveries, for the period from 25th December to 31st October I guarantee my arrival times at the collection address for removals and both the collection and delivery address for light haulage work. GUARANTEED LOW PRICES I will not exploit my position nor discriminate against anyone who is
 I have visited France, Spain, Austria, Eire, and the former Yugoslavia (I sneaked in to pick oranges in Greece) and lived, loved and worked in Germany, Greece and Holland. I used to dislike strong winds but now I love them since I took up sailing 10 years ago (It still frightens me). I no longer own a 26ft Eventide sailing boat. I also have an avid interest in late Anglo-Saxon history - specifically 1030-1087, the period of Hereward the Wake |
| Getting a quote and making a booking The herdthecats procedure in securing a booking for a time and date of your choice is as follows: Take your time in deciding what to say or write in an email. Some people telephone for a quote. Almost all of them do not have sufficient information to enable an accurate quote to be given. If you telephone you will be asked to supply |
|
|
 |
| Usually, 10am will be suggested to you as being a good time to start. Please say if 10am is not appropriate. You will be asked to send an email in which you should include all the information you have just given over the 'phone and the quote you have been verbally given. Emails are always answered in chronological order; the earlier you send an email the sooner it will be answered and your quote and/or your booking confirmed. However, this does not mean your email will be answered straightaway. It simply means that your email will be answered before an email sent at a later time by someone else. Emails are normally answered at 8am and 6pm each day. IF THERE ARE TWO OR MORE EMAILS REQUESTING THE SAME DAY, THE EMAIL REQUESTING A BOOKING WHICH WAS SENT EARLIEST WILL SECURE THE BOOKING. If you have just a few items to move and the distance between the collection address and the delivery address is known it will be possible to give you an accurate quote over the 'phone and it will not change later in an email unless there are significant differences between the information you gave during the telephone call and the email you have sent. All quotes are based on the information you give. If there are signifcant differences between the information you have given and reality the amount you should pay may increase. Bookings will only be confirmed by email - that means that you will need to send an email stating that you want to make a booking - you should then receive a return email confirming your booking. Please try to keep your telephone calls and emails concise and to the point. |
