Refund & Cancellation Policy
Please review the following refund, cancellation, rescheduling and credit-note guidelines before confirming a booking with Sona Packers & Movers.
Please Review Before Booking
A booking involves advance operational planning, vehicle allocation, labour scheduling and preparation of packing resources. Customers are advised to read the applicable cancellation and rescheduling terms carefully before making an advance payment.
Quick Policy Navigation
General Refund & Cancellation Policy
Welcome to the official Refund and Cancellation Policy of Sona Packers & Movers. This policy explains how advance payments, confirmed bookings, cancellations, rescheduling requests and related service situations are handled.
Moving and logistics services require advance planning and resource allocation. Once a customer confirms a booking by paying the applicable advance or token amount, Sona Packers & Movers begins preparing resources for the agreed service date and requirements.
Vehicle Allocation
A suitable commercial vehicle may be planned or reserved according to the customer's declared shipment or household inventory.
Labour Planning
Packing, loading and moving personnel may be scheduled specifically around the confirmed date and service requirements.
Packing Preparation
Packing materials and other operational resources may be prepared in advance for the confirmed movement.
Under the company's stated booking terms, the advance or booking amount paid to confirm a service is generally non-refundable in the event of customer-initiated cancellation. Customers should therefore review the quotation, service requirements and scheduled date before confirming the booking.
Why Advance Payments Are Linked to Operational Planning
The advance payment is connected with the preparation of resources required for the confirmed service. Depending on the booking, this preparation may include:
- Blocking or planning a suitable commercial vehicle for the scheduled movement.
- Scheduling packing, loading and moving personnel.
- Preparing required packing materials such as corrugated boxes, bubble wrap, tapes and protective materials.
- Coordinating the planned pickup date, route and other operational requirements.
These arrangements are made in advance so that the confirmed service can be planned efficiently.

Before confirming or changing a booking, customers may also review the relevant service and quotation resources below.
Cancellation Terms
We understand that moving plans can change because of property-related matters, employment changes, personal circumstances or other unforeseen situations. A customer may request cancellation by contacting the support team through the registered communication channel.
However, once a booking has been confirmed and the operational planning process has started, the applicable booking terms continue to apply.
Advance Amount
Customer-initiated cancellation generally results in forfeiture of the confirmed booking advance under the stated policy.
Scheduled Move Date
Cancellation close to the scheduled service date may affect already-planned vehicle and labour resources.
Reduced Inventory
Removing items from the declared inventory at the last moment does not automatically create a corresponding refund or reduction in the finalized booking amount.
Cancellation on the Scheduled Service Day
If the packing team, vehicle or labour personnel have already reached the customer's premises and the customer cancels the service at that stage, the booking advance remains subject to the applicable cancellation terms. Additional trip, waiting or detention-related charges may also apply where they have actually been incurred in connection with the attempted service.
Partial Cancellation or Reduction in Items
If the customer decides to move fewer items than those originally declared after the vehicle, labour or other resources have been planned on the basis of the original inventory, the finalized quotation may remain applicable. Any adjustment, if available, will depend on the booking conditions and the stage at which the request is received.
Rescheduling Instead of Cancellation
If your moving plans have changed but you still intend to use the service, you may request a change to the scheduled service date instead of cancelling the booking.
Rescheduling is intended to provide customers with a practical alternative where the original moving date is no longer suitable. Requests are subject to operational availability, route planning and the conditions described below.
Customers should inform Sona Packers & Movers of a required date change at least 48 hours before the scheduled pickup or service date. Early communication allows the company to review vehicle, labour and route availability and make the necessary operational adjustments.
Rescheduled Date Window
Under the applicable policy, a postponed service may generally be moved to a new date within 30 days from the original scheduled date, subject to availability and mutual confirmation.
The revised date should be finalized with the Sona Packers & Movers support or booking team rather than being assumed automatically.
Late Rescheduling Requests
A request received less than 48 hours before the scheduled service may create additional operational difficulties because vehicle allocation, labour scheduling and route planning may already have been finalized.
Where a late rescheduling request is accepted, an applicable rescheduling or operational charge may be payable. The amount, if any, will depend on the circumstances of the booking and resources already committed.
Rescheduling on the Service Date
If the customer requests postponement after the vehicle, packing team or moving personnel have already been dispatched, the request will be handled according to actual operational circumstances.
Any vehicle movement, waiting, labour deployment, travel or other operational cost already incurred may remain payable where applicable.
Practical Recommendation
If you know that your moving date may change, contact the Sona Packers & Movers team as early as possible. Early communication provides more scope to review alternative dates without unnecessary operational disruption.
How to Request a Rescheduled Date
To request a change in your service date, please provide the booking details and your preferred revised date to the customer support or booking team.
Contact the Team
Contact Sona Packers & Movers through the available official booking or support channel.
Share Booking Details
Provide your booking reference or other details needed to identify the confirmed service.
Confirm New Date
Wait for confirmation of the revised date and operational availability before treating the change as finalized.
Specific Cancellation & Refund Scenarios
The following scenarios explain how common situations may be handled under this policy. These examples are provided to make the booking conditions easier to understand.
| Situation | General Policy Position | Customer Action |
|---|---|---|
| Customer cancels the booking | The booking advance is generally non-refundable under the stated customer-initiated cancellation policy. | Contact support promptly if you wish to discuss rescheduling instead. |
| Customer wants another moving date | Rescheduling may be available instead of cancellation, subject to the applicable time limits and availability. | Provide the requested revised date as early as possible. |
| Rescheduling requested within 48 hours | The request should be communicated at least 48 hours before the scheduled service wherever possible. | Contact the booking team immediately. |
| Late rescheduling request | Acceptance may depend on vehicle, labour and route availability. Applicable operational charges may apply. | Confirm the revised date with the company before making further arrangements. |
| Service postponed after operational deployment | Actual vehicle, labour, waiting or travel costs already incurred may remain payable where applicable. | Contact the team immediately to discuss the available options. |
| Customer moves fewer items than declared | A reduction in inventory after booking confirmation does not automatically create a refund or proportional price reduction. | Discuss material changes with the team before the service date. |
| Company is unable to provide the confirmed service | The applicable company-side cancellation or service resolution provisions may apply. | Contact customer support for the applicable resolution. |
Important Clarification
Refund eligibility is determined by the reason for cancellation, the stage of the booking, resources already committed and the specific terms applicable to that service. A customer-initiated cancellation should not be treated in the same way as a cancellation or non-performance initiated by the service provider.
Credit Note for Eligible Postponed Services
Where a customer is unable to proceed on the original date but wishes to retain the value of the booking for a future service, the company may provide a credit-note or equivalent adjustment where the applicable policy conditions are satisfied.
Under the stated policy, an eligible credit note may remain valid for up to 6 months from the applicable date, subject to the original booking conditions and company confirmation.
Important Conditions for Credit Notes
Confirmation Required
Customers should obtain confirmation from the company before assuming that a credit note has been issued.
Validity Period
The credit note should be used within the applicable validity period communicated at the time of issue.
Original Booking Terms
A credit note does not automatically replace all original booking conditions. Applicable service terms continue to apply unless otherwise confirmed.
Changes to Pickup, Delivery or Service Requirements
A change in pickup location, delivery destination, shipment size, inventory, vehicle requirement or service type may affect the original quotation and operational planning.
Customers should communicate such changes before the service begins. The company may reassess the quotation, vehicle requirement, labour requirement, route and applicable charges based on the revised information.
Do Not Assume a Booking Change Is Automatically Approved
A requested change becomes operationally effective only after it has been reviewed and confirmed by Sona Packers & Movers.
Helpful Sona Packers & Movers Resources
Damage Claims Are Separate From Refund Requests
A request relating to damaged, missing or affected goods is different from a request to cancel a confirmed booking or obtain a refund of a booking advance.
Cancellation and refund matters are governed by the applicable booking terms, while damage or loss-related matters are reviewed under the company's separate claim procedures and the documents applicable to the particular shipment.
Refund / Cancellation
Concerns cancellation of a confirmed service, booking advance, rescheduling or another payment-related matter.
Damage / Loss Claim
Concerns an alleged loss, shortage, damage or other issue involving goods during a service or shipment.
Supporting Evidence
Claims may require relevant booking details, photographs, inventory information, delivery records and other supporting documents.
Separate Claim Guidelines
For damage or service-related claims, please review the Official Claim Policy Guidelines before submitting a claim.
What a Customer Should Do After Noticing a Problem
Customers should notify Sona Packers & Movers as soon as reasonably possible after identifying an issue with the goods or service. Photographs, videos, inventory details, delivery documents and other relevant evidence should be retained where available.
Prompt reporting helps the company review the circumstances and determine the applicable claim process.
Information That May Be Required for a Claim
Depending on the nature of the complaint, customers may be requested to provide information necessary for verification and assessment.
Booking Details
Booking reference, quotation, invoice or other transaction information may be required.
Photographs / Videos
Clear photographs or videos may assist in understanding the condition of the affected item.
Inventory Information
Details of the declared item, packaging condition and shipment inventory may be relevant to the review.
Delays, Disruptions & Force Majeure Situations
Moving and transportation services can sometimes be affected by circumstances that are outside the reasonable control of the service provider or customer.
Such circumstances may include severe weather, natural disasters, road closures, traffic restrictions, government directions, strikes, civil disturbances, accidents, vehicle breakdowns, public emergencies or other circumstances that materially affect the planned service.
Where circumstances outside reasonable operational control affect a confirmed service, Sona Packers & Movers may communicate an alternative date, route or service arrangement where reasonably possible.
Rescheduling During Unforeseen Events
If a service cannot reasonably proceed on the originally scheduled date because of an unforeseen operational event, the company may coordinate with the customer to identify a practical alternative.
The final arrangement will depend on the nature of the event, safety considerations, route accessibility, vehicle availability and other operational factors.
Customer Safety Comes First
Where continuing a journey or pickup may create a significant safety or legal concern, operational decisions may need to prioritize safety, lawful transportation and practical feasibility.
If Sona Packers & Movers Is Unable to Provide the Service
In exceptional circumstances, the company may be unable to provide the confirmed service as originally scheduled. This may occur because of serious operational constraints, safety concerns, vehicle issues, route restrictions, force majeure circumstances or other circumstances affecting service availability.
Where the company itself cancels a confirmed service and the applicable terms provide for a refund, the customer's eligible payment will be handled according to those applicable terms.
Company-Side Cancellation Is Different From Customer Cancellation
The customer's cancellation terms should not be interpreted as automatically applying in the same manner when the service provider is responsible for cancelling a confirmed service.
Possible Service Resolution
Depending on the circumstances, the company may discuss an alternative service date, revised operational arrangement or eligible payment resolution with the customer.
Payment Disputes & Chargebacks
Customers are encouraged to contact Sona Packers & Movers directly if they have a question about a payment, booking amount, cancellation, service charge or refund request.
A direct discussion allows the company to review the relevant booking information and provide clarification before a payment dispute is escalated through a bank, card network, payment provider or other financial channel.
If you believe a payment has been processed incorrectly, please contact customer support and provide the transaction or booking details so that the matter can be reviewed.
What Happens When a Payment Dispute Is Raised
Where a formal chargeback or payment dispute is initiated, Sona Packers & Movers may provide the relevant booking records, payment information, service communication and applicable policy terms to the concerned payment institution or dispute-resolution process.
Keep Your Booking Records
- Quotation or booking confirmation
- Payment receipt or transaction reference
- Customer communication regarding the booking
- Cancellation or rescheduling communication
- Invoice or other applicable service documentation
Duplicate Refund or Payment Recovery
If a customer receives a refund, reversal, credit adjustment or other payment recovery through one channel and subsequently receives an additional recovery for the same transaction through another channel, the customer should notify the company.
The same transaction should not ordinarily result in duplicate recovery of the same amount.
Customer Responsibilities Before Cancellation or Rescheduling
Customers can help avoid unnecessary delays or misunderstandings by providing accurate information at the time of booking and communicating changes as early as possible.
Accurate Address
Provide correct pickup and delivery addresses, including relevant access information where required.
Correct Inventory
Provide a reasonably accurate description of the goods and quantity of items requiring transportation.
Timely Communication
Inform the booking team promptly if your moving date, inventory, address or service requirement changes.
Important Booking Information
Customers should carefully review their quotation, declared inventory, service date, pickup and delivery details and other applicable conditions before making the booking payment.
Prohibited, Restricted or Undeclared Goods
Customers are responsible for informing the company about goods that may require special handling, transportation restrictions or prior approval.
If prohibited, restricted or materially undeclared goods are discovered after booking, the service may be subject to operational restrictions, cancellation or additional requirements according to the nature of the goods and applicable transportation rules.
Declare Important Information in Advance
Accurate information helps the company select an appropriate vehicle, packing method, route and handling arrangement.
How This Policy Should Be Read
This policy should be read together with the customer's quotation, booking confirmation, invoice and any specific written service terms applicable to the confirmed booking.
Where a particular service has additional terms communicated before confirmation, those service-specific terms may apply to that booking.
Nothing in this policy is intended to remove any mandatory consumer or legal right that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.
