For operators and firms
Courier Exchange for removals?
Courier Exchange is a general courier and haulage exchange. Movesmith is built only for removals and man-and-van work across the UK. Here is what that means.
What Courier Exchange is
A general courier and haulage exchange, where loads of many kinds are posted for drivers and vehicles. We say no more than that. For its features, fees and terms, check its own site.
Why removals need removals crews
Moving someone's home is different from carrying a parcel or a pallet. Goods in transit, a Luton and a crew, and liability for the contents all matter.
Removals-only
Every job is a home move, item move or man-and-van job.
Right cover
Goods in Transit and Public Liability cover is checked before you take jobs.
Right vehicle
Jobs say whether a van or a Luton is needed, and how many movers.
Clear terms
Removals liability and job terms are set out before you accept.
