Private helpers

As a rule, voluntary removal helpers are not liable for damages. The reason: This is "favor damages" that occur as a result of a free service from a friend. This type of damage is particularly protected by law . Even liability insurance does not pay in this case . In order to eliminate this risk, it is necessary to conclude a contract with the helpers that obliges them to accept liability. The private removal helpers must then include the favor damages in their liability insurance.

Professional moving assistants from moving companies

As a rule, moving companies are liable for all damage that occurs while they are carrying out the move. This applies to damage in the stairwell and in the apartment. However, liability is limited to an amount of 620 dirham per cubic meter of moving goods (§ 451 e HGB). The professional furniture packer must inform you of this and also point out that there are some things that are excluded from liability, such as live animals or antiques.

It is best to have the boxes packed by professionals, office movers and packers in dubai. If something breaks, the question will not arise whether the items were not packed well enough and it was your fault. In that case, the removal company will not pay.

How much and when to pay?

There is an old saying: first the work, then the praise. You should only tip the removal helpers after they have done their job. Around ten to 20 dirham per furniture packer is common practice. If the move was very complex and strenuous , it is appropriate to give a little more.
