Pricing

Frequently asked questions about pricing.

We prepare appraisals by inspecting your goods before transport.  The quantity of items to be transported, packing options and the distance to be transported influence the pricing.

For long distance transportation, distance of the place where your goods are picked up and transported, labor fees, highway tolls, ferry fees, etc. are taken into account.

In inner-city transport, the service fee is paid after the completion of the transport work and the final inspection. Such payment is made at the end of the works in cash or by bank transfer to the person in charge of the transport company. In long-distance transport, 50% of the agreed transport price is paid on the day of loading, the remaining part is paid upon delivery of the goods.

You will not have to pay any additional fee for the transport unless you wish to have a different procedure than the one you have indicated to our customer service representative. However, if you have different requests than the ones you indicated during the pre-transportation agreement, you will have to pay additional fees. For example: although you have indicated that the building elevators can be used on the day of transportation, if you cannot use the elevators on the day of transportation, you will have to pay an additional fee. This is because our company has to pay more to its staff if the elevator is not used. The company will not charge you extra except in similar situations.

Insurance & Safety

Frequently asked questions about the safety of your property and insurance options.

The transportation insurance is an option that we offer as an option depending on the agreement.  This insurance covers all your expenses if your property is damaged during transport from door to door. Of course, we are constantly evolving to prevent anything from happening to your property, but it is one of our biggest responsibilities to consider the possible options and guarantee your property.

There is no legal obligation to take out insurance for door-to-door transport. For this reason, you must explicitly inform us of your wish for insurance. It is not common to take out insurance, except for valuable items in intra-city transport. Insurance is usually taken out in long-distance transport.
