Inventory

Inventory — Saint Helena

A proper inventory settles most disputes before they arise: every item listed, its condition noted, a photo to back it up and a number matching the label on the box. On Helplease, you describe your needs and the workers offering this service in Saint Helena are notified of your request.

What the service covers

• detailed list of goods;
• recorded condition of each item;
• photos of furniture and valuables;

• a copy given to the client.

Depending on the agreement, the service can include listing the goods, describing their condition, photos, labelling, producing the document and handing over a copy.

Key points

Inventory and prohibited items

Draw up a list of what is stored, with the condition of each item, photograph the important pieces and keep a copy. Perishable food, flammable products, gas cylinders, aerosols and animals are not stored. Documents, jewellery, keys, medicines and valuables stay with you.

Documents and confidentiality

Your documents stay confidential: they are not copied, kept or passed to a third party without your agreement, and working files are deleted once the job is done. Never share your passwords or PINs; open the necessary accounts yourself instead. For identity documents, send a copy only when it is genuinely required.

What affects the price

• volume involved;
• length of storage;
• packing and protection;
• distance and floors;
• transport there and back.

The rate is agreed with the worker based on these elements.
