I am moving, what information do you need?
Please complete the online form as best you can and send it back to us.
I am not an ‘Estimator / Surveyor’ – would someone come come and see me?
Of Course, in the UK its Gareth Webb 0044 1843 585055, he is an Experienced Removal man, Gareth speaks from first hand experience of our Industry, here in Mallorca its Bill Webb 0034 971 693566, proprietor of the Company along with Matthew from Webbs Mallorca, please note that we do not employ commission based Agents in Mallorca nor will your enquiry be dealt with by Tele Sales Teams in the UK. Their Quotes are normally just ‘Indicative.
Packing Materials, I want some delivered!
Again either Gareth or Bill will arrange all this.
I will pack the non breakables, but want you to pack the rest
Yes no problems, we do make a modest charge for a ‘Packing Service’.
Does everything need to be in a box?
Obviously not everything fits into a box, all we ask is that you do your best, leave the rest to us.
How do you protect my furniture?
Our Company policy is to Export Wrap everything where possible, that means bubble wrap, paper blankets, then plastic protective covers for Soft Furnishings, Beds, Sofas etc.
But does that cost more?
It costs more than just a loose blanket wrap, that is the method that for example some ‘Movers’ use for a local move, however as your job will probably be handled at least three times, the chance of damage is just far to high. So we prefer, unless you advise us differently, to professionally wrap your effects, by Export Wrapping it almost eliminates the chance of damage, and it is all part of that price.
I need it picked up on a certain day / time
No problems, after all you are the Customer! But we do need as much notice as possible, at least 5 working days!
I am in Mallorca for only a few days, I need the effects delivered at a certain time / date.
Fine, it was agreed at the time of the collection.
What are your business hours
Our hours are 0745 to 1630 hrs Monday to Friday, Saturday by appointment only and subject to bribery and corruption! Please Note the Mallorca Depot can sometimes be shut for a short period when very busy, so always phone 0034 619 247 823 to advise you are coming.
Out of Business Hours Contact
Please note that although Gareth and I , Bill Webb have mobiles we would appreciate any call out of normal business hours be ‘Emergency’s Only’.
I want my effects delivered on a Weekend, Fiesta, and Public Holiday
Working on a Sunday, Fiesta, Public Holidays is not available, Not even for bribes! The Police will fine us if we are caught working!
Have you Storage facilities?
YES and all our Clients are given an allowance of free containerised storage in either the UK or Mallorca, there is a page dedicated to this subject in the website. Please read this thoroughly.
Why do you not deliver direct to my door with the same vehicle that came from the UK?
It is just not practical in most circumstances, the Vehicle from the UK is 16.5 metres long, can weigh up to 38 tons! We have difficulty getting a small transit van to some destinations,
The home I am moving to is bad access for a truck, how do you get my effects there?
We have a fleet of smaller vehicles (Spanish) based at our Santa Ponsa Depot, No Problems!
Is it not most Movers Terms & Conditions that there is an additional charge if a small vehicle is required
Yes it is ! However we are the Mallorca Specialist, we do allow for these problems and we do not charge extra for this. But yes additional charges can be charged by most other Movers.
Your Local Delivery Vans, are they Spanish Licensed ?
Yes they are, we hold a Spanish Transport licence of course.
What about the Man and Van adverts I’ve seen for Local Moves within Spain, why are some so cheap
There are very few ‘Man and Van’ operators in Spain due to the strict transport licence requirements. You will normally find that the cheap operators are running around in plain non sign written vehicle with a Mobile Number or found on the Social Media, now if Traffico (Spanish Traffic Police) stop this vehicle it is likely to be impounded on the spot and a large fine given. How do we know? Because it happened to us in our earlier days. So don’t be afraid to ask.
I am moving to an address where there are parking restrictions
Central Palma can be a nightmare, likewise so can some towns, for this reason we often have to apply to the Police for a permit to park, these can take three days to organise, there is a charge of 100 Euros minimum for this, the customer has to pay!
We often do try our luck with the Police over parking restrictions; this is fine for smaller jobs where we are only parked for a few minutes, The Cargo Bays often found only allow 15 minutes unloading so if it is a larger job we – you will have to get the permissions / permits.
I live in an Apartment and need my Concert Grand Piano to go to the 7th floor and there is no lift!
Large, Heavy, Bulky items, no Problems! However we will have to use an external lift / crane and additional staff, this cost extra, budget on 140 Euros per hour for outside lift / crane, there is a min charge of 2 hours for the crane / lift.
But, there is a lift and good stairs, why should I pay extra?
In Spain the use of lifts for moving home is not normally allowed by the community manager, it is NORMAL practice for outside lifts to be used, Crews do not carry manageable effects up more than three flights of stairs. Unless Bribed with Chocolate Biscuits and Strong Coffee !
Will you pick up all the waste packing materials after I have unpacked?
We will collect any good cartons that have been flattened down on the day of delivery, the waste wrapping etc should be put in the many recycling bins available, Mallorca does operate a very good recycling system.
How do I pay for my Move / Storage?
Payment is required shortly after the collection and, or when we take Custody, Bank Transfer is best, MasterCard, Visa also accepted. Sorry No cheques, AMEX / DINERS Card, GBP transactions, for Debit Cards / Credit Cards no CC Fee.
