Advanced Payment Guarantee
When you move home, it is standard industry practice to pay your removal charges in advance. However, the concern is what would happen if your chosen remover suffered financial failure before your moving date. As members of the British Association of Removers, all our customers are covered by the Advanced Payment Guarantee. Ensuring that the reasonable costs of your relocation would be covered if the worst happened.
The guarantee applies to private individuals moving home to, from or within the United Kingdom and so you can have total confidence in using a BAR Member company for your move.
The Scheme does of course have terms and conditions, and those full terms and conditions can be found here
