Tips before booking
- Send photos and rough sizes so we choose the right vehicle.
- Tell us the floor and whether there is a lift at both ends.
- Place the items near the door to save time.
- Ask about dismantling if the item is a bedroom or wardrobe.
- For long trips outside the city, a closed dyna is safer.
Extra services on request
The best time to move in Jeddah
- Mid-week and mid-month: lower demand, easier dates and better prices.
- Early morning: less heat and traffic, especially in summer.
- Avoid month-end and the start of holidays: peak time for lease renewals and moves.
- Book at least a week ahead: two weeks in summer and at the end of the school year.
Moving in Jeddah by type of customer
| Customer | Usually needs | What we suggest |
|---|---|---|
| A family moving to a bigger home | A full move with dismantling and assembly | Survey, dedicated dyna and a full working day |
| An employee or single person | A room or small flat | Pickup or small dyna with basic packing |
| Newlyweds | New showroom furniture plus belongings | Collection from the showroom and direct assembly |
| An expat returning home | Sorting what to ship and what to sell | Packing for storage or international shipping |
| Students | Limited housing items | Pickup and a shared load |
| A company or office | Office furniture, equipment and archives | After-hours move with labelled cables |
Each case needs a different vehicle size, crew and packing, which is why we ask about your move before pricing — so you don’t pay for a bigger crew or vehicle than you need.
Preparation timeline before moving day
| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| Two weeks before | Book the date and survey; decide what to discard, sell or donate. |
| One week before | Start packing books and off-season clothes; book the lift at both ends. |
| Three days before | Empty the fridge and freezer gradually; prepare a bag of documents, gold and medicines. |
| The day before | Unplug appliances, photograph TV and router connections, clear the corridors. |
| Moving day | Be there for loading and unloading; check the numbered box list. |
| After the move | Inspect items before signing; switch the fridge on 3–4 hours after it stands upright. |
The guarantee and what it covers
| Case | Action |
|---|---|
| A scratch or break proven to occur in transit | Repair or compensation as agreed |
| An item missing from the numbered list | Immediate search, then compensation if not found |
| A faulty bedroom or wardrobe assembly | The crew returns to reassemble at no cost |
| Delay beyond the agreed time | Advance notice with the reason and a new time |
Temporary storage and office moves
If your new home isn’t ready on moving day, we store the furniture packed and labelled in a secure warehouse in or near Jeddah, then deliver whenever you ask. For companies we move offices after hours or at weekends, labelling equipment, cables and archives so work resumes the next morning.
