The Shipping Procedures



PACKING AND LOADING

Your move date is here! Our trained crews will do everything they can to make sure your shipment is a success.



What can you do to help us out?

  • You can assist Aarid's crew by putting aside all items that need to be packed at the very end, or those items which are not intended to be shipped. It is very important that you separate all personal item, passports, travel documents and tickets that will be travelling with you. These items should be securely put away so that they do not get packed accidentally. It can be very costly to retrieve these types of items once your shipment is packed.


  • Also, please note that transit insurance will not cover money and or jewelry. You should not include articles such as these in your shipment.
