Long-Distance Moving FAQs
Q.Can you transport pets?
No, we can't transport pets or other living creatures in our moving vehicles. Valuables, hazardous materials, food waste, antiques, and artwork are also excluded. Depending on the circumstances, you may need to arrange separate transport for other items too.
Q.Is compensation available if something is damaged during the move?
Yes. We handle your belongings with care, but if anything is damaged or lost, please contact your coordinator as soon as possible after the move. A specialist will help with the next steps. Please note that compensation is not available after 3 months.
Q.Can you transport bicycles?
Yes. Bicycle transport is included free of charge with your move.
Q.Can you transport motorcycles or cars?
Motorcycles up to 50 cc can be transported free of charge. Larger motorcycles and cars require separate transport arrangements for long-distance moves.
Q.Can a long-distance move be completed in one day?
Delivery may take several days after pickup, even with a dedicated truck. Travel time, traffic, and limits on driving hours all affect the schedule.
Q.Can you store my belongings between move-out and move-in dates?
Yes. We offer up to 2 weeks of free storage, with longer periods available for an additional fee.
Q.Can I save money by requesting a quote early?
Yes, we offer an early booking discount if you request your estimate well in advance. As with flights and hotels, prices can rise as popular dates fill up, so getting in touch early can help you save.
Q.What is the cancellation policy?
If you cancel, fees apply under the Standard Terms and Conditions for Moving Services: 30% of the transport charge if you cancel the day before, or 50% on moving day. You may also need to cover costs already incurred.
Q.How do you keep long-distance moving prices low?
We don't run expensive TV advertising campaigns, which helps us keep our moving prices affordable.
Experience You Can Rely On for a Long-Distance Move
Before your move, our experienced team checks for narrow roads and height or weight restrictions that could affect truck access. We've also handled weather-related disruptions, including road closures caused by heavy snow in Hokkaido. Unlike time-based services, our fixed pricing won't increase because of traffic or weather delays. With 50 years of experience, we can plan alternative arrangements when needed to keep your move on track.
