How We Work — Our Service Policy

Simple, clear, and honest. Here is everything you need to know about how Arsalan Movers handles your move, your belongings, and your trust.

Arsalan Movers & Packers has been serving Abu Dhabi families and businesses since 2013. This page explains exactly what you get with each of our services, what we are responsible for, and what we ask of you — so there are no surprises on move day.

Moving Service Policy

House Shifting · Villa Moving · Office Relocation · Intercity Moves

Whether you are moving a studio apartment or a 5-bedroom villa, our team handles every step professionally. Here is exactly what is included in every move we do — at no extra charge.

Professional Moving Team

2 to 8 trained movers depending on your home size. All background-checked.

GPS-Tracked Covered Trucks

Clean, covered trucks with GPS tracking. Your belongings are safe and traceable.

Furniture Disassembly & Reassembly

We take apart and fully reassemble all furniture at your new home. Beds, wardrobes, shelves — everything.

Protective Padding

Padded blankets and wrapping protect all furniture surfaces during loading and transit.

Building NOC & Elevator Booking

We coordinate with building management for moving permits and service elevator time slots in advance.

Packing Waste Removal

After the move is complete, we remove all boxes, wrapping, and packing materials from your new home.

About delays: Sometimes buildings block access, elevators are unavailable, or parking is restricted. These situations are outside our control. However, we always plan ahead and communicate with building management before move day to avoid such issues.

Intercity Moves — Abu Dhabi to Dubai / Sharjah: We operate fully between all UAE emirates. Your quote for an intercity move is fixed and includes loading, transport, and unloading at your new location. No extra charges for distance.

Same-Day & Emergency Moves: Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call us directly on +971 56 829 7081 and we will dispatch a team as soon as possible.

Packing Service Policy

Full Home Packing · Partial Packing · Fragile Items · Packing Only

Our team packs your entire home using professional-grade materials — all included free as part of your move. We bring everything needed on move day so you do not have to prepare anything.

Packing materials we bring — all free of charge:

  • Double-walled cardboard boxes in multiple sizes
  • Bubble wrap for fragile items — glasses, crockery, electronics
  • Stretch film to wrap furniture, sofas, and appliances
  • Padded moving blankets for wardrobes, beds, and heavy furniture
  • Wardrobe boxes — your hanging clothes move without folding
  • Specialist foam and corner guards for mirrors, artwork, and TV screens
  • Packing tape, labels, and markers to organise your boxes by room
We Pack These Items
  • All kitchen items — dishes, pots, appliances
  • Large-screen TVs and electronics
  • Mirrors and glass furniture
  • Clothes and wardrobe contents
  • Children's toys, books, décor

Please Handle These Yourself
  • Jewellery, cash, and valuables

Packing Only Service: You do not need a full move to use our packing team. We can come to your home and pack everything a day before your move date. Contact us for a separate packing quote.
Items you pack yourself: We cannot be responsible for damage to items packed by the customer in their own boxes. We recommend letting our team pack all fragile items.

How storage works with us:

  • We collect from your address — our team picks up your items and transports them to our secure facility. No need for you to arrange transport.
  • Every item is inventoried — we document everything that goes into storage and give you a signed receipt on the same day.
  • Secure 24/7 — our facility has CCTV and access control. Only authorised staff can enter.
  • Access to your items — give us 24 hours' notice and you can access your belongings during business hours.
  • We deliver back to you — when you are ready, we deliver your stored items to your new address at standard moving rates.
  • Hazardous and prohibited items cannot be stored (see Section 8 below).
  • Unpaid storage fees beyond 60 days may result in disposal of stored goods after proper written notice to the customer.
Storage pricing depends on the volume of your items and how long you need. WhatsApp us a photo or description and we will give you an exact price within 30 minutes.

Pricing & Payment Policy

Fixed Prices · No Hidden Charges · Transparent Quotes

The price we quote is the price you pay. We do not add surprise charges after the move is done. Our quotes are based on your property size, distance, and service type — and are confirmed in writing before we start.

ServiceStarting FromFull Service Up To

TV MountingAED 150 – 400
Curtain InstallationFrom AED 200 per set
When can the price change? Only if the actual situation is very different from what you described — for example, a very high floor with no elevator, or significantly more items than quoted. In that case, we will discuss and agree on the new price before starting — never after.

How to pay:

  • Cash (AED) — paid after the job is complete and you are satisfied
  • Bank transfer — we provide account details on your invoice
  • A written invoice is issued for every job
  • We do not ask for full payment in advance — only a small deposit for large villa moves on request

Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy

Change of Plan · Date Reschedule · Emergency Cancellations

We understand that moving plans change. Our policy is designed to be fair to you while covering the costs our team has already committed to (truck allocation, permits, team scheduling).

Damage Policy

What We Cover · How to Report · Claims Process

We handle every item with care. But if something goes wrong, here is our honest policy on what we are responsible for and how we resolve it.

We Are Responsible For
  • Damage to items our team packed using our materials
  • Items lost or missing from our custody during transport
  • Scratches or damage to walls and elevators caused by our team
We Are Not Responsible For
  • Items packed by the customer in their own boxes
  • Pre-existing damage not noted before the move
  • Jewellery, cash, and personal documents
  • Electrical faults inside appliances that existed before the move
  • Damage caused by road accidents or extreme weather

How to report a problem:

1
Tell the Team Leader

Raise any concern before our team leaves your new home on move day.

2
Take Photos

Photograph any damaged item clearly at the time of delivery.

3
Contact Us

Call or WhatsApp us within 24 hours. Send photos and your booking details.

4
We Resolve It

We respond within 48 hours and aim to resolve all claims within 7 days.

Important: Damage claims must be reported within 24 hours of delivery. We cannot process claims reported after this window as we cannot verify what happened post-move.

Your Responsibilities on Move Day

What We Need From You to Make Your Move Go Smoothly

A great move is a team effort. Here is what helps our team do their best work for you:

  • Give us accurate information at booking — your floor number, elevator access, number of rooms, and any special or heavy items. This helps us bring the right team and equipment.
  • Be present during the move — you or a trusted adult should be at both addresses during the move to supervise and make decisions.
  • Arrange building access in advance — if your building requires a move-in or move-out permit, please apply before move day. We will remind you and help where we can.
  • Remove valuables before we arrive — pack jewellery, cash, passports, and medications yourself and keep them with you during the move.
  • Empty and disconnect large appliances — fridges should be defrosted and dry. Washing machines should be emptied and disconnected.
  • Make sure the new home is ready — keys available, access confirmed, and space ready to receive furniture on the agreed date.
  • Keep children and pets safe — please keep them away from the active moving areas for their safety and ours.
  • Check items on delivery — inspect your belongings when we deliver them and let us know immediately if anything is missing or damaged before we leave.

Items We Cannot Move or Store

For Safety, Legal, and Practical Reasons

The following items cannot be included in any move or storage with Arsalan Movers. This is for the safety of our team, your belongings, and full compliance with UAE law.

  • Illegal substances — any item prohibited under UAE law
  • Weapons and ammunition of any kind
  • Flammable and hazardous materials — gas canisters, paint, chemicals, acids
  • Live animals — please arrange pet transport separately
  • Perishable food and open liquids
  • Cash, jewellery and important documents — always carry these personally
  • Live potted plants — we can move them with care but cannot guarantee condition due to temperature and handling during transit
If prohibited items are discovered during a move or storage intake, we reserve the right to stop the service immediately. In such cases, no refund is issued for the work already completed.
