Cancellation of Services
In the event of a cancellation, Fast Quality Moving reserves the right to retain the initial deposit paid by the customer as liquidated damages for scheduling, staffing, and administrative costs.
A refund of the deposit will only be considered if the customer provides written notice of cancellation no less than seven (7) business days (168 hours) prior to the scheduled move date. The written cancellation request must include the customer’s full legal name, service address, and scheduled move date. Any cancellation that does not meet these requirements will result in forfeiture of the deposit.
Customers who confirm or book services within SEVEN (7) calendar days of the current date expressly acknowledge and agree that their deposit is non-refundable under any circumstances.
Additionally, all cancellations made between August 15 and September 15 are strictly non-refundable, as this period is designated as peak season. Due to exceptionally high demand during peak season, Fast Quality Moving does not offer deposit refunds for cancellations during this time, regardless of notice.
Furthermore, any cancellation occurring during the final days of any month, including but not limited to last-minute or short-notice cancellations close to the scheduled move date, shall be subject to a mandatory $300 cancellation fee, separate from and in addition to the forfeiture of any deposit.
End-of-month reservations ( ESPECIALLY THE LAST WEEK OF EACH MONTH ) represent a critical operational period in which Fast Quality Moving customarily operates at full capacity. A late cancellation during this period results in substantial business disruption, including lost revenue, inability to accept alternative jobs, labor allocation losses, and schedule displacement. Customers acknowledge that Fast Quality Moving relies on confirmed end-of-month bookings and intentionally limits additional work to honor reserved time slots.
The $300 cancellation fee constitutes a reasonable and necessary charge to offset these losses and is not a penalty, but a fair estimate of damages incurred as permitted under applicable.
By booking services with Fast Quality Moving, the customer expressly agrees to all cancellation terms outlined above.
Fast Quality Moving is forced to collect a fee of the full deposit or a fee of $50 depending on the inconvenience for a late reschedule notice or for any CANCELLATION of any move.
