Protecting you loved ones

As with any large or bulky delivery, it is advisable to take photos of your items before they are picked up, these should be dated in the photo and copies given to the removal company prior to your move, legally this is the only way you can prove the damage was caused by the removal company as most claims are not upheld due to no evidence, the other way is to have witnessed the damage being cause at the time of the incident. Damage is rare with a removal company but not so with a lot of man and van operators, this is due to the industry being unregulated and anyone can set up as a man and van with no experience and no training (you could be his very first customer).
Pack your items in wrapping paper and box them up the more time you take the better start weeks before your move pack away all the items you don't need. Gordon's Man and Van can provide boxes, cartons, tape, marker pens and wrapping paper.
most if not all movers and shifters will only except liability for damage to a boxed item if there is evidence of external damage to the packing box/carton so wrap everything individually.
take a box your self, get a large plastic box with a lid and put your deeds, ipod, jewelry, cash, shares and anything else more valuable than the cost of the move and keep it with you, high value items may not be insured to their full value so don't put it on the van.
