There are plenty of things in life that you can handle yourself, but shouldn’t. Moving is one of those things. While you could certainly deal with packing everything yourself and asking your friends to help you move furniture, the time and stress of the process aren’t worth the money you save.
There are a lot of horror stories about movers who break things or lose things and stop returning calls. Here are some of the things to look for in a furniture removalist, and how to find the right moving company for your needs.
According to Six Brothers Removalists, the Best Removalists Sydney has to offer, “A successful Removalist job requires a belief in quality and service.” A moving company’s dedication and care for their customers will be evident in the customer reviews and references. Look for a well-recognized company that has plenty of positive reviews from people in your area. In the social media millennium, people are quick to point out if they have a negative experience.
Ask friends, family, and colleagues who have recently moved who they used or if they have any recommendations. Negative reviews are also useful, as they steer you away from headaches and heartache down the road.
You get what you pay for, especially when it comes to hiring a removalist. That being said, you shouldn’t be paying through the teeth for a moving company. Look at local movers and compare and contrast their pricing strategies. Look at what’s included in their prices to get a better idea of the value of their package. Avoid companies that have pricing that sounds too good to be true, because it probably is.
Many moving companies offer tiered pricing based on your needs. For example, someone in an apartment may be able to use a cheaper package than someone who lives in a two-story home. Look at the pricing variations and call for a quote if necessary. Feel free to shop around.
There are a few things that should be insured when you’re hiring a removalist. First and foremost, you’ll want to look at the coverage on your belongings. What happens if something gets misplaced or broken? Is coverage included in the base price or is it an extra add-on? Reliable moving companies have great coverage policies because they have faith that their employees will handle everything with care.
Many people get so concerned with their items that they forget to ask about coverage on the movers themselves. Does the company have the appropriate amount of liability insurance in place to cover an injury that takes place on your property? You’ll want to read the fine print on this one.
Speaking of reading the fine print, under no circumstances should you proceed with a verbal or email text agreement with your removalist. Everything should be well documented in a formal contract, that does not leave blank spaces for changes. You’ll want the document to outline precisely what’s covered and what fees are required. If packing costs are a part of the overall fee, it should state this clearly.
Reliable, responsible moving companies – even small local entrepreneurs who are new to the industry – should have proper legal documentation for customers to sign. These aren’t just meant to protect you and your belongings; they also protect the business and the employees who are moving your things.
While hiring a new moving company might be cheaper than someone with years of proven experience, it might not be worth it. Experienced movers have done this for years, and if they’ve retained the same business name during that time, they’ve likely done it well. When it comes to moving, experience matters.
Finding the right removalist for your needs isn’t as challenging as it sounds. Think critically, look at their history and reviews, and go with your gut.
