We will notify customers where possible.
7. Weight, Overweight Rules & Additional Charges

We reserve the right to refuse loads that exceed machine capacity.

Payments
- Full payment is required at the time of booking
- Any overweight or extra fees must be paid upon notification
No Cancellations

Refund Eligibility
