Why do removal companies ask about cubic metres? ๐ฆ
When planning an international move, how much space your belongings take up is a key part of the quote.
A sofa can weigh less than a small, heavy item while taking up much more room in the vehicle. Thatโs why the weight alone doesnโt tell us the size of your move.
What does this mean for you?
โข Large, lightweight items still take up valuable space.
โข Dismantling suitable furniture can reduce the space it needs.
โข Showing us everything you plan to move helps us prepare an accurate quote.
Volume matters, but it isnโt the only factor. The route, access to both properties, packing services and any items requiring special handling also affect the final price.
At JCL, we assess what youโre moving through a detailed pre-move survey or an online video survey, so we can plan the right space and services before moving day.
