Top 4 Things You Cannot Afford Not To Discuss With The Removalists

Posted on

Interstate removals can be quite hectic and overwhelming. Hiring professional furniture removalists can, however, make your move much easier. For an even smoother move, you want to make sure that you get everything cleared out well before the day of the move.

Here is a look at a few of the things you should take the time to seriously discuss with your removalists to avoid any inconveniences during and following your move

1.    Discuss The Nature Of Your Property

Whether you are moving house or packing up your office, you will no doubt have different types of items that will require different levels of care during the move. If you have heavy furniture, let your removalists know so that they can come prepared with more muscle for the job. Similarly, letting the company know about any fragile items you may have will ensure the crew brings along proper packaging materials.

To better understand your needs, a crew from the removals company can visit your premises and look around at what you do have.

2.    Talk Insurance

Along with discussing the nature of your property, you should ask about the company's insurance cover. Anything may happen along the way, and you need to be sure that you will be covered. You should be especially concerned if you will let the removalists handle items of very high monetary and sentimental value. You should also think of getting a valuation for these items and taking pictures before the move.

3.    Talk Additional Services And The Cost Implication

If you need help with getting packing materials, such as moving boxes, as well as the actual packing and unpacking, be sure to let the removalists know beforehand. Your removalists should have no problem helping you understand how these additional services will add to your final interstate removal cost.

4.    Discuss Timing

Considering the time it takes for interstate removals, the last thing you want is for the removalists to keep you waiting. Ensure that you talk availability, and have the company give you a guarantee that they will show up at your premises at the agreed time, or even earlier, to avoid delays. It will be a real inconvenience to get to your new place in the new state too late and have to start looking for alternative accommodations because it's too late to start unpacking.

Communication is always key, and you can look forward to an even better experience if you openly discuss each party's expectations and obligations with the removalists.
