Once a customer pays the deposit then the vehicle, crew, date and time slot are allocated to that customer and we refuse anyone who requires a move on that date and time slot. If for any reason the move doesnt happen on the alloted day, the business loses out as we are unable to fill in that slot and the resources are wasted.
