Handy Hints and Tops Tips #001
Moving interstate can be a comprehensive procedure. After finding
your interstate removalists and answering all the questions they
have, you should remember to ask them some of your own questions.
The following is a short guide of questions which will help you with
selecting your interstate removals company.
1)
You should ask how long the moving company has been in business.
Look for a reputable furniture removals company that has many years
of experience in the type of furniture removals requirements that
you have. If you are looking at moving interstate, then hire an
interstate removalist, and not a moving company that specialises in
local removals.
2)
Can your furniture removalists supply references or testimonies of
their good work over the past years? This can often be found on
there website, so check it out. The website should also give you a
better insight into the moving companies services and which area's
they specialise in.
3)
One of the most important
questions that many people overlook is about insurance. Does your
chosen furniture removals company supply insurance? If so, ask to
see a copy of the Product Disclosure Statement. If they do not
supply any insurance, can they point you in the right direction?
Also, if your moving company has no workers compensation insurance,
then in the unlikely event that they are injured during your
relocation on your property, you may be held liable.
4)
The cost of moving is one
of the most obvious questions. But you should also ask about any
additional charges that may be incurred. For example, If you haven’t
started packing yet and you only estimated 20 boxes but you end up
with 40 moving cartons, then the interstate removalists are likely
to charge you more. Find out how much more or how the additional
charges are worked out.
5)
Do the moving companies
you have selected use industry standard packaging supplies and
furniture removals blankets to wrap your furniture in for protection
whilst in transit?
6)
It does not matter how
many safety measures you or your interstate furniture removalists
take, there is always going to be a risk and possibility of
something being damaged during your interstate furniture removals. So you
should ask about the moving company’s policy for claims, well in advance
of your collection date.
7)
And the primary question
is regarding to delivery dates and times. When will it be and how
will you be notified? If you are using Backloading Removalists for
your relocation, ask what the maximum delivery schedule for your
relocation is likely to be.
If you are moving interstate
between to main cities, for example from Brisbane to
Melbourne, then it will be easier for you to find backloading
removalists for your relocation than if you are moving between two
country towns. And if you are moving from
Sydney to
Cairns where some moving companies consider this to be a double
leg, as your goods will often stop or pass through
Brisbane, your furniture removals may change moving trucks for
the second part (or second leg) of the interstate furniture removals process.
