By | 28th Aug 16

Don’t know where to start? A quick search online will bring up many removalists, but how do you know which one to trust? Many of us have moved many times in our lives, so if your friends and family don’t have a contact, reviews or testimonials are always a good start! In the meantime, we have compiled some tips to help you with tedious process.

Moving tips

  1. Check if the company is associated with AFRA. The Australian Furniture Removalist Association ensure that operators and companies abide by a certain level of standard. This will give you peace of mind with your precious items.
     
  2. Once you’ve picked your removalist it’s time to start planning the packing process for a smooth transition. Packing room by room will make it easy when you unpack. Label and pack as neatly as you can. This sounds trivial but it will help you when unpacking. The more detailed you are the better because you will know exactly what is in each box.
     
  3. Ask about insurance for your contents. A lot of people think that your current house and contents insurance covers your belongings in transit. This isn’t the case, so ask your removalist about how you can insure your home contents in transit.
     
  4. Don’t forget to book a cleaner. Some removalists will be able to assist in booking a cleaner for your house move, having one less thing to think about can really make the difference.
