Groupage - Shared Removals

A shared or groupage move is a moving service in which different customers who have small moving loads share a truck to transport their belongings to a common destination. Instead of hiring an entire truck for a small move, customers can reserve a space on a shared truck and split the transportation costs with other customers who have similar needs.

This type of service is especially useful for people who do not have many items to move or who have a limited moving budget. By sharing the truck with other customers, the overall cost of transportation is reduced and the available space in the truck is optimised.

However, it is important to note that the delivery time may be slightly longer than a private move, as the truck must make several stops to pick up and deliver the loads from different customers.

Yes, at Gil Stauffer we offer shared moving services for both individuals and companies! Our goal is to provide flexible and affordable moving solutions that are tailored to each customer's needs, and the shared moving service is an excellent option for those who have a smaller moving load or a limited budget.

The cost of a shared move depends on several factors, such as the distance between the place of origin and destination, the volume and weight of the items to be transported, the complexity of access to the homes and the level of service required.

In general, the cost of a shared move is cheaper than an exclusive move, as the transportation costs are shared between several customers. However, it is important to note that the price of a shared move can vary significantly depending on the factors mentioned above.

The best way to get an accurate quote for a shared move is to contact a moving company and request a quote. At Gil Stauffer, we offer personalized quotes tailored to the specific needs of each customer. Contact us for more information about our shared moving services and to request a quote.

Before hiring a shared or groupage moving service, there are several factors to consider to ensure you are making the best decision for your moving needs. Some things to consider are:

1. 1. Do you have a lot of items to move? If so, a shared moving service may not be the best option for you. If you need to move a large number of items, a full truck may be more cost-effective and convenient.

   2. Do you need your items to arrive on a specific date? In a shared move, the delivery time may be slightly longer than in an exclusive move, as the truck must make several stops to pick up and deliver loads from different customers. If you need your items to arrive by a specific date, be sure to ask about the estimated delivery time before hiring the service.

   3. Are you flexible in terms of pick-up and delivery dates? When sharing space on a truck with other customers, there may be some lack of flexibility in terms of pick-up and delivery dates. Be sure to ask about available date options and whether there are any delivery restrictions.

1. Preparation: The first step is to gather information about the work, prepare an inventory, plan transport, necessary equipment and materials.
2. Customer contact: the moving team reaches out to the customer to confirm the inventory, assess the required equipment, and determine the necessary materials for a smooth move.
3. Packing and packaging: the team carefully packs the customer’s belongings to ensure they are protected from damage during transport.
4. Loading of the move: the removal team carefully loads the customer’s belongings onto the moving van, ensuring everything is secured for the journey to the new location.
5. Transport: the removal team transports the customer's belongings to the new location using the appropriate transport method, whether by land, sea, or air, depending on the specifics of the move.
6. Download: the removal team unloads the customer's belongings at the new location, ensuring everything is placed as requested
7. Unpacking: the team unpacks the client's items so that they can be placed in their new home.
8. Cleanliness: the removal team cleans both the old and new locations to ensure everything is in order and ready for the customer to settle in. This final touch ensures a smooth transition, leaving both spaces clean and tidy.
9. Collection: the team collects the equipment and materials used in the move to leave everything perfect and ready for you to enjoy your new home.
