Not all moving companies are the same so it does pay to shop around. Due diligence is important because hiring a moving company solely on price can be a recipe for disaster.
We have devised a few tips to help you with your move and decision:
Removalists in Perth Insurance
Insurance is one of these things that we all care about. We want to make sure that all our furniture is moved from point A to point b without the risk of damage. We want to feel reassured that the moving company will be willing to fork out and replace the goods if they are damaged by the removalists in Perth while in transit. The majority of moving companies will have the basic insurance which is fire, theft and transit insurance. Although they are basic levels of insurance required by moving companies, you may also find that your contents insurance will cover your goods as well. You should get in touch with your insurance company and just ask. Most moving companies will have insurance but at the same time a lot do not. It is important to do research because you never want to be caught out.
Reviews
Reviews are very important these days. You have the likes off Google reviews, Yellow Pages reviews, product reviews and much more. All these tools are at your fingertips and can be easily accessed with any smartphone device these days. When selecting a moving company it literally takes a second to look them up online to have a look at their reviews. The last thing you want to do is to book a Perth removalists Perth services only to realise that they have shocking reviews.
Location of the depots
At Emmanuel transport, we do not charge depot to depot fees like the others. We believe that our clients should only get charged for the time that we work. It is for this reason that we do have a flat fee just to help cover the cost of getting to you. A lot of moving companies will charge a depot fee. This basically means that you will be charged from when the moving company actually leaves the warehouse till when the return back to the warehouse. In doing so that could add an extra hour or two depending on where they come from. By going with a company like Emmanuel Transport you can end up saving up to $200 on your moving cost.
Reliability
Reliability is important. you want to make sure that on your moving day the removalists actually show up. Moving in itself is very stressful and the last thing you want to do is to worry about you moving company not showing up on your moving day. This is when doing a little bit of research comes very handy. At Emmanuel transport we understand how important moving is. We have made it a belief never to let any customers down. Still to this day, we have never not showed up for a job.
Accountability
We hold ourselves accountable for every move that we conduct. We treat all your furniture with care because we understand that they are valuable to you, and therefore need to be looked after properly. If by any chance, something that happened, we will ensure that the item is restored to its original condition, and if not we replace it. Some moving companies have pretty bad reputations so it does pay to look them up.
Quick
A cheaper hourly rate does not necessarily mean a cheaper move. Some moving companies, move quicker than others. One could take 3 hours and charge slightly more, compared to the other company which could take 6 hours and charge a little bit less. The bottom line here is, always look at the bigger picture.
