While Hong Kong can be a humid area especially during spring and summer, humidity only speeds up the process of mold and mildew but does not generate the spores directly. Hence, we recommend that clothes and linen should be cleaned prior to moving. The surfaces of furniture should be wiped with disinfectants to minimize the risk of reproduction of mold and mildew spores.
Most clients use our packing and unpacking services but you can also pack some of your personal belongings yourself should you wish to. We will arrange a free one-time delivery of packing boxes once the move is confirmed. If you do decide to pack some of the items yourself, please do not seal the boxes as our crew is required to take note of the contents in our packing list. For international moves, we are required to provide a packing list and to take note of the condition of the items for custom and insurance purposes.
Our crew will uninstall and reinstall simple home appliances. However, items such as fixtures attached to ceiling or wall, flat pack furniture, or custom made furniture may require our handyman service. The move consultant will identify items that will require our handyman service during the pre-move survey and we will include relevant handyman fees in our quotation.
We can arrange split pick up or delivery at additional charges. We can include this charge in the quotation if you inform us of your preferred arrangement during the pre-move survey.
