Paying for a removal should not be the stressful part of your move. Our payment method is simple, and it is designed so you see the work completed before any money changes hands.
This guide explains the only method we accept, when payment is due, how to reference it, and why there is no VAT on your bill.
Key takeaways
- We accept bank transfer only. No cash and no card.
- You pay after the job is completed and you have confirmed it.
- There is no deposit before the move.
- Alpha Movers is not VAT registered, so no VAT is added to your price.
Step 1: Know the only method we accept
We accept bank transfer. We do not accept cash or card payments, so plan your payment that way.
Step 2: Know when to pay
You pay once the move is finished and you have confirmed it is complete. You see the work before you pay, and nothing is due before the job starts.
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| When you book | Nothing is paid. No deposit |
| On the day | The crew completes the move |
| After you confirm completion | You make the bank transfer |
Step 3: Use your reference
When you pay, use your AM-###### reference as the payment reference. To estimate the total before you book, use the moving cost calculator and see our pricing. It lets us match your payment to your job quickly.
Why the reference matters
Without a reference, we have to match the payment to a name and an amount by hand. With it, your job is closed in one step, and you do not need to chase anyone.
Step 4: Check there is no VAT
Alpha Movers is not VAT registered. The price on your booking and your quote is the total you pay, with no VAT added.
