Frequently asked questions

Other questions? Contact us at info@smoves.it or via chat.

What's included in the service?

Everything you need: door-to-door pickup, secure storage in Milan and delivery on your return — all included in the price. You pay online via Stripe and the quote is locked at booking. If you don't have boxes, you can add packing materials: we'll deliver them before pickup.

How do I choose the right box size?

It depends on what you're storing: the S (40×30×30 cm) is for small heavy items, the M (60×40×40 cm) for the bulk of everyday things, the L (80×40×40 cm) for bulky-but-light items. All hold up to 20 kg and you can mix sizes within the same order. For particularly bulky items there's also a made-to-measure XL size, on request: contact support before booking.

Which cities do you serve?

We operate in the municipality of Milan: we pick up and deliver to any address within the city limits. Enter your address in the booking form to check coverage instantly. More Italian cities are coming soon: write to us at info@smoves.it and we'll let you know as soon as we open in yours.

Can I change or cancel my booking?

Before payment you can freely edit or cancel from your account. After payment you can cancel for free, with a full refund, up to 7 days before pickup; you can also request a delivery postponement or update the address up to 7 days before the scheduled date. Beyond these deadlines, or after pickup, email us at info@smoves.it: we assess each case individually.

How do I pay?

You pay once per booking, online via Stripe by credit/debit card or Apple Pay: traceable payment, automatic email receipt, instant confirmation and free cancellation with a full refund up to 7 days before pickup. It's the safest and fastest way for everyone.

Can I pay in cash?

Normally we don't accept this payment method, but if card isn't an option for you, email us at info@smoves.it or use the Support page and we'll see whether we can arrange a custom cash payment for you.
