66Manpower Shortage and Delay in Singapore
Based on your recorded volume, two men is sufficient to complete the packing and moving in Singapore. This is standard for movers, where manpower is assigned by volume and complexity. From our recorded communication with the Supervisor and Move Manager there was no report on delays and the job completed on time. Lunch of 1 hour is standard, based on our health and safety compliances to ensure our staff are fed and well rested. We also refer to the signed SERVICE REVIEW which gave SIR MOVE “GOOD” on all points and “YES” to highly recommend. No negative review or feedback was provided after the job was completed in Singapore.
Delays in Response to your Email on Damage
Your email t riggered our Compliance Processes which requires an extensive investigation in Singapore and UK. It requires interviews with the packing crew, all of which takes time because teams are often onsite on packing jobs. Nevertheless please note the following dates for your reference:
Notification of Damage by Customer 1st November
Acknowledgement Email by SIR 2nd November
Follow up Email by SIR 5th and 19th November to advise investigations are in process
Final Findings Email on 22nd November
Please note that Insurance Companies take up to 60 days to investigate damage claims. We completed ours in 21 days
Allegation of Damaged Monitor by SIR
From our findings, we have advised that the monitor was turned off when packed. There was no visual sign of physical damage. Upon arrival at destination, the packing for the monitor was intact, there was no visual signs of damage to the materials recorded by the destination agent or by the customer. Generally, if a package experienced “trauma” post packing, there would be evidentiary signs. In this case there was none. Upon unpacking, there was no visual sign of physical damage either. Hence the service review and unpacking documents were signed by the customer confirming the same. As advised, damage was found after the monitor was turned on. It is not possible to assign SIR responsibility for this issue because there is no proof that the monitor was not damaged prior to packing. This is an important element that Insurance Companies would highlight if Insurance was taken up. In order for coverage for mechanical derangement to be purchased (which was not), Insurers would require proof. It is also clearly stated in our T&C Clause 12.3 (g) that we are not liable for electrical or mechanical derangement to any appliance, instrument, clock, computer or other equipment unless there is evidence of related external damage.
It is important to highlight that the packers and unpackers are just only one piece of the moving process. A shipment goes through port handling ( twice), shipping where containers do move due to inclement weather and further transport from container to truck and to delivery.
Destination agent “unpacking recklessly and violently”, “making jokes” and “picture frame leg broken”
We are truly shocked to read this. This was not reported in the email to SIR on 1st November and neither was it noted on the Destination Agent’s documents which included a Performance Report signed by the customer. The customer gave EXCELLENT for all areas and ticked “YES” when asked “ Was the crew courteous and helpful” and “YES” to “ Was unpacking done to your satisfaction”.
However, we have noted your feedback will raise this with our UK Destination Agent.
SIR Move is a reputable company managed by the owners since 2006. Owned by a Singaporean and a British PR the owners are hands on, fair and honest people who take pride in managing SIR MOVE with integrity. They are always willing to help and extend assistance and good-will gestures when validated .
Once again Thank you for your feedback and we wish you the very best.Read more
