Moving Companies

Moving interstate can be a comprehensive procedure. After finding 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 moving companies for your relocation.

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 their website, so check it out. The website should also give you a better insight into the company's 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?
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, 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 furniture removalists take, there is always going to be a risk and possibility of something being damaged during your 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 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 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 Townsville 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 trucks for the second part (or second leg) of the interstate furniture removals process.

A full service moving company may be exactly what you are looking for if you haven't got the time to pack up and un-pack at the other end, or perhaps you just can't be bothered with it and want to take the stress out of moving interstate all together. Full service moving companies can do everything for you from start to finish. If you are going to hire a full service moving company, you do not have to be there on the day of packing or collection of your goods, although it might be handy so that you can notify the removalists of any special requirements you may have with regards to certain items. You should be present at the time of delivery so the removalists know where you would like things to be placed throughout your new home. A full service move will save yourself time as you will not have to pack up or un-pack anything, and best of all you won't have to attempt to lift any heavy items. Just sit back and relax as everything is done for you.
