For example, one can think of porterage, the lighting of common areas and the cleaning of common areas.
I refer to services such as central heating, constant hot water, lifts, porterage, and stair carpets.
In some areas—particularly porterage, cleaning and even catering—labour shedding has gone too far.
There have been cases where porterage has been excessively charged.
It has been the practice in the past, besides the commission to the salesman, to charge porterage.
There is no agreed formula for calculating the charges, which include elements for utilities, porterage and maintenance.
Beyond that distance porterage is charged only on the additional mileage beyond the free delivery boundary.
In addition, there are dock dues, quay porterage, landing and carriage charges to final address.
