Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice fragile packing services depending on availability. This is particularly useful for urgent moves or last-minute requirements. We aim to offer flexible scheduling wherever possible.

Are my fragile items insured?

Yes, all items are covered by our goods in transit insurance during transport. We also carry public liability insurance for additional reassurance. Our team takes great care when handling fragile items.
