When you are moving from one home to another, there are a lot of items to pack. There is a lot of organising to do and you need to sort items to make sure that you are only taking what you need. Anything that you don’t need can be sold in a yard sale. One of the most important things in a move is choosing a company to move your items safely to the new location.
Choosing a removalist when you are moving Melbourne to Brisbane can be difficult as there are many companies in your local area. But to select the best option from everything, you need to check professional accreditation. They should be accredited in the industry so that you can trust them with your valuables and fragile items. You need to make sure that they are working according to professional standards. There will be a different accreditation depending on the country. So check what is applicable to your country. And when you contact companies to get a quotation, ask them to show proof of this accreditation. This will give you an idea of their professionalism and standard of work.
As always, you need to check the reviews for any company that you are planning to work with. This is a great way of weeding out poor quality service. There will be so many other customers that have obtained the services of a particular company before. Make sure you read the recent reviews to see whether the majority has had a positive experience. You can also ask for recommendations from friends and family that has recently completed a move. You will be able to get some advice regarding the move as well. If there is nobody that you can get a first-hand experience from, the internet is a great way of searching for reviews. Check for third party website reviews so that you can be sure of the impartiality.
There should be an insurance cover offered by the company as well. This gives you some assurance of safe transportation of your items. If there is an accident and there is damage to your possessions, you will be covered by this insurance. Ask for a copy of this insurance and check whether it is up to date and all the details are accurate. If the company is unable to provide you with an insurance cover, it is best to look for another option as there will be many valuables that will be transported in the move. And you should also get several quotations so that you are aware of the range of prices available. The estimate should be provided after they assess all the items you have access to the property, oversized items, stairways etc. They should have a rough assessment of the volume of your belongings so that they can provide an accurate estimate. It is best if they can visit so they have a better understanding of the job. Ask them how they plan to protect fragile items. They will let you know of the recommended packing procedure for these items.
