If you're moving house or moving office, or simply moving furniture, then you need professional movers who can relocate your items safely. Below are simple and easy tips to help you move your furniture and equipment in a fuss free manner -

  1. Make sure you hire a reliable mover. The best place to start is to research online for actual customer feed-backs at local business websites or third party websites that are not associated with the mover's website. These sites provide useful reviews of local removalists and other professional services. Hence it is a good hunting ground for comments from individuals who have used the services.

If you find positive reviews on movers from third party sites, then these companies should be high on your list.

  1. Don't limit yourself to one mover, instead opt for 3 removalists and narrow it down to one. Firstly, you want to be able to compare the services and the quality of the company. But more importantly, you want to get the best value for your money, hence compare the quotes.

  2. When you get estimates, ask for it in writing, and request the mover to describe the services they will be providing. The last thing you want in a move are any misunderstandings and stress

  3. Is the removalist fully insured for the work they provide? A professional removalist should have this covered, and if they do not have one, find another removalist

  4. Does the moving company have a high regard for safety, especially when it comes to protecting your valuables and asset? If you do have fragile items, ask the movers to protect to safeguard yor items with protective covers or at least secure it in a safe area of the vehicle.

  5. Once you have a chosen professional mover, co-ordinate with them on the various tasks needed to be done. Issues for discussion should include the responsibilities expected of each party and what will the movers be responsible for? For example, is it you or the mover who handles the packing and sealing of boxes? These all should be clarified prior to signing of the contract

By taking the effort and time to find the best removalist in town, you can avoid the hassles and headaches of moving between locations. So make it a point not rush into a decision, and more importantly, just ask around for the best removalists in your local area.
