7. In general, customers book a time for a Van and Driver to arrive. While every effort is made to arrive at the appointed time there are many factors which can cause a Van and Driver to arrive late, therefore it should be understood that there is no guarantee that a Van will arrive on time and no liability or penalty can be attributed should a Van arrive late.

Occasionally Small Moves will take payment from a customer and will pass the monies onto the specialist contractor less our commission. Small Moves will pass on communications between the customer and specialist contractor and will also mediate if a dispute develops between a customer and the specialist contractor. Over many years of experience this arrangement has been found to be the best possible for customers and allows prices to be maintained at a highly competitive low level.
