About the inventory list
The Inventory List is a mandatory document required for your international removal service. As outlined in our Terms & Conditions (Section 3), you must complete this form with a detailed list of all goods being transported and submit it to us at least ONE DAY BEFORE your collection date. This document serves two critical purposes: it provides the basis for your Goods in Transit Insurance coverage (up to £20,000 per van as standard), and ensures we can accommodate your load properly. Please note: Insurance claims cannot be considered without a completed inventory list. Taking a few minutes to fill this out accurately will protect your belongings and help us provide you with the best possible service.
IMPORTANT: How to Complete This Form
Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure your inventory is accurate and complete.
⚠️ CRITICAL: Dimensions MUST Be in METRES
This is the most common mistake!
✅ CORRECT Format:
- If your box is 60 cm wide → Enter 0.6 (60 ÷ 100 = 0.6 metres)
- If your box is 120 cm long → Enter 1.2 (120 ÷ 100 = 1.2 metres)
- If your box is 45 cm high → Enter 0.45 (45 ÷ 100 = 0.45 metres)
❌ WRONG Format:
- Do NOT enter 60 for a 60cm box (this would be calculated as 60 metres!)
