Handling Standards & Responsibilities

Each delivery includes a limited handling and unloading time, which is clearly displayed during booking. If loading, unloading, or waiting exceeds the included allowance, additional time is charged as extra labor per minute at the rates shown before confirmation.

Our service focuses on transport and delivery only. We do not perform archival processing, cataloging, conservation work, or materials handling beyond basic transport.
