HOUSE MOVERS MELBOURNE | REMOVALIST MELBOURNE
Whether you are looking for furniture removals, house moversĀ melbourne or office removals, here is a smart way to choose a remover. This is what I have learned the hard way.
You canāt afford to be lazy
Resist the temptation to take the first moving company that sees or follows the advice of Aunt Flo, whose experience probably dates back to the fifties. Word of mouth is a good way to go, but ask several people who recently moved from your home or office. You may also want to review the comparison comparison websites.
Make use of the Australian Furniture Removers Association (AFRA)
Organizations such as the Australian Association of Furniture Removers (AFRA) exist for a reason. Its objective is to guarantee quality control. They accredit the removal companies that employ personnel that is up to the job. Accredited companies have knowledge of the legal and industrial climate in which they operate. They also employ adequately trained personnel in the operation of mobile equipment and manual packaging of fragile items. AFRA also requires commercial withdrawals to have certain insurance, although these protect the company and NOT THEIR ASSETS. Once you have narrowed your search, use AFRA to verify that you are on the right track to choose a moving company or a moving office.

Should I take out insurance to protect my furniture and belongings against loss or damage?
Usually, this is up to you, although some housing developers, office removals or an interstate mover will insist on it. However, what you should keep in mind is that the content insurance policy of your home or office will not cover your goods while they are being transported and/or when they are stored. Unless you have a high tolerance for risk, it is a good idea to buy transit and storage insurance. The employees of the house or office recommended by AFRA can indicate the correct address.
How much will a mover cost?
Here you have to be a little smart. Does the moving company charge a flat or hourly rate? Is the distance of door-to-door movement calculated? What about storage costs? What happens if the circumstances mean there is a delay in collection or delivery? To help get a precise quote, it’s a good idea to think of it as a moving company or an office. Put yourself in the position of the guys doing the movement. If you were in the furniture removals or office removals business, here are some questions you would like answered in order to provide you with an accurate quote. Will there be parking problems or access problems? Are there flights of stairs or a fierce dog next door? Do you have items that can be really disassembled and reassembled to pass through a standard door or to clear a standard roof? How many of your items are very heavy and will need furniture engines to lift them mechanically? Of course, you may not be able to answer all of these questions, but you can provide enough information to allow movers to offer a more accurate quote and avoid unpleasant additional costs.
Thatās great, but can I have it in writing?
Any moving company worth considering will provide you with a written quote. This should include a detailed list of everything, and I mean everything, you want to be included in the movement. You should also calculate how many boxes you need and what size. Here, again, a good moving company for home or office, like Removalist Movers4Melbourne, will provide general advice. For example, it is not a good idea to choose large boxes to fill with heavy items such as books. The weight may be too large to allow the box to rise without dividing.
Details, Melbourne City Movers
This should be obvious, but in my experience it is not. Check the contract for exact collection and delivery addresses and dates and times of the move. Check the specified list of items and especially the details of insurance coverage for loss or damage. In fact, read all the terms. It’s boring but necessary. If you are not 100% sure that you will go with the removal that has the contract you are reading, do not pay a deposit or provide credit card details if you change.
