It is important to understand what elements of your move cost money. This way, you know where you can save and avoid any nasty surprises. The prices reflected on removalist quotes are determined by:
So you have received your removalist quotes and you are thinking what next? We suggest that you look at the following criteria before you go ahead and make your decision.
Seem obvious right? We understand that moving is an expensive process and so saving on the cost of the removal company is likely to be a priority. Keep in mind sometimes the removalist quotes that appear to be the cheapest do not actually end up being so. It is often the case with cheap quotes that you encounter extra costs along the way. Not ideal!
As we just mentioned, it’s not all about the upfront cost. When choosing what removalist quote to go for, also consider whether the price includes some or all of the following:
Don’t assume it’s a given that moving boxes are incorporated into the removalist quote. You may sometime have to purchase them yourselves, or pay extra. If you are organising this yourself, visit our moving boxes page which provides detailed information on where to begin your search.
Some movers leave this out of the removalist quote as they assume you would prefer to do this yourself. Now we don’t doubt that you’re strong, but do think carefully about the extra effort that this will entail. Check out our packing guide if you do decide to go the DIY route!
Expertise and specific equipment is often required for this. Companies usually offer these services for an extra fee, but this might be left out of the initial removalist quote if it’s not communicated to them from the outset.
This includes items such as pianos, and even pets. Make sure you indicate to the removal company that this is a service you need so that they can arrange a visit and assess for themselves what exactly needs transporting.
A surplus can be charged if there is a distance of more than 15 metres between the parked moving truck and the entrance of the residence.
Look carefully at the terms and conditions of the company’s moving insurance to work out the amount and type of objects insured. Also what precautions are in place in the event of a lost or damaged item.
Do not underestimate the importance of customer reviews when choosing which removalist quote to commit to. Sirelo provides a 100% transparent review system, with no bias. Each moving company’s profile contains all submitted customer reviews, along with general information about them. Exploring these removal company pages is a great way to determine which removalist quote to go for.
There are certain moving networks such as Moving Select, which Australian moving companies can, but do not have to join. However, being a part of such networks can be an indication of credibility as members of these networks are held to certain industry standards. When selecting your removalist quote, check to see if the company is part of a moving network that guarantees professionalism.
