Checks before booking

  1. Check the business details: address, GST registration, years in operation.

  3. Compare at least 3 quotes and be cautious of quotes that are far below the market.
  4. Ask about insurance and how damage claims are handled.
  5. Get a written quote including all charges.
  6. Ask for tracking and a point of contact during transit.
