How does the service work?
Just like any ride-sharing app, we just need a photo and submit information on what we are moving, from where to where to ensure you get the right help fast. No more back and forth with multiple providers to get a lot of different quotes. No limitations on what you can move with couriers. No more ill-defined pricing – just total transparency from booking to moving day and beyond.
What is Flitt?
Flitt was designed to help people move bulky items on-demand. If it’s too big for the car and you don’t want to wait for a removalist or courier, we get it to you faster. We get it to you quicker and without the hassle using our online booking platform to link you with a delivery driver.

What is the difference between Flitt Home & Office and Flitt Logistics?
Home & Office is aimed at individuals, households and offices needing items moved. Flitt Logistics is aimed at businesses needing commercial deliveries, recurring transport, dedicated vehicles or a more tailored logistics solution.

Yes, where a suitable delivery professional is available. The earlier the job is submitted, the better the chance of arranging it for the same day.
What information should I provide?
Accurate addresses, item descriptions, quantities, photos and approximate dimensions or weights where possible. Customers should also let us know about stairs, lifts, narrow access, parking restrictions or anything unusually heavy or fragile.
Are Flitt delivery professionals checked?

What happens if an item is damaged?
The customer should take photos and report the issue as soon as possible. Flitt will review the job details and assist with the relevant damage-reporting process.
How do I contact Flitt for support?
Customers can contact Flitt through the website or the support details provided with their booking. Including the job reference and a clear explanation will help us deal with the issue faster.
How is the price calculated?
