Yes, there are certain items that MovIt cannot move. These items are referred to as ‘prohibited items’ and include all goods, which are prohibited by legislation or regulations. Please refer to our terms and conditions. The following are examples of items that require specialist freight services:

Yes you can. You will need to contact our customer service department to arrange the details. If you are dropping off, you must have your con note attached.

Please measure and weigh your item prior to booking. If the dimensions or weight booked are incorrect, you may incur an extra charge for your shipment. Measuring and weighing ensures quotes are as accurate as possible.

General Freight -1 cubic meter = 333 Kgs. Simply measure the length, width and height of the item in centimetres (cm). Convert the CM into meters by dividing by 100. Example:  15 Kg item of 65 x 25 x 35 cm is 0.65m long x 0.25m wide x 0.35m high, its cubic dimension is 0.65 x 0.25 x 0.35 = 0.057 and cubic kilos is 0.057 x 333 = 18.98 Kg. This is different to the actual weight of 15 Kg of the item.

In this case, your package must be on a skid or pallet. It should be strapped and adequately packed. We will arrange a special form of transport that includes a lifting tailgate. This will incur an extra charge.

Unfortunately it won’t be classified as a business. Although you operate your company from home, it would still be considered a residential address.

It is important to ensure that you are present at the time you have booked. If you are not, you may incur additional fees and delays to your shipment.

If you have specified that drop off at a specified location is acceptable, then the driver will do this. If you have not specified this, then a signature is required and therefore the shipment will be taken back to the local depot. In this case, a re-delivery fee may apply.

You must safely package your freight and print out the label and consignment note provided by us. Attach labels to the freight and handover consignment note to the driver so that he can identify and we can track your freight each step along its journey.

No – it’s important your shipment is packed well, ready for pickup.

Goods should be well packed in a solid cardboard box or container and securely sealed.

Packaging should have a single label provided by us. Any shipment  of 30kgs and over should be strapped on a pallet. A tailgate service should be availed if no available forklift on the pick up &/delivery locations.
