How To Choose The Right Removalist | Two Men And A Truck
We’ve heard the horror stories of removalists driving longer routes so they can charge extra, or refusing liability after damaging items. Dodgy removalists sometimes pull the wool
A great removalist will not only visit your current house to inspect your property and give you an estimate and run down of any potential difficulties and how to overcome them, they’ll also visit your new home to make the same assessments. After all, if you’re moving a piano from a pokey top floor apartment on a busy street into a Queenslander-style home on stilts, you need someone who is trained to overcome these sorts of barriers.
While ensuring you stay on budget is important, a good estimator will do much more than that. They’ll visit your house, assess your belongings and identify any potential difficulties that a removalist will need to overcome such as narrow hallways, stairways and oversized furniture.
This is incredibly important. Removalists who aren’t accredited by the Australian Furniture Removalists Association (AFRA) are not able to provide comprehensive insurance, nor are they subject to the bylaws of the regulatory body and so cannot be held accountable to the same standards if they damage your items.
People move around quite regularly now, so ask your friends, family and colleagues about their last move. Try to pry a little deeper than whether it not they liked the company they went with: try asking why they feel that way, what they would’ve done differently and anything they wish they’d discussed with their removalist in advance. If you’re looking for further information, head online for reviews on independent forums and websites.
The worst part about moving is packing right? It starts with great intentions but tends to go down the drain quite quickly when you realise just how much work is ahead of you. A quality removalist company will not only be able to supply packing materials and a checklist, they should also offer packing services to do the job for you.
Removalists should also have storage space for your items, should you be downsizing, still waiting for your new home to be finished or if you’re moving into temporary accommodation. If they’re not ready to care for your items over a longer period, you should consider looking elsewhere.
