When it comes to choosing a removalist, going for the one with the most competitive price is the way to go, right? After all, every removalist does the same thing …
Wrong! Unfortunately, in our line of business there are many removalists that choose to cut corners rather than get the job done properly.
And choosing a removalist based on price alone could end up costing you more in the long run. Worst of all, it might mean that your carelessly handled invaluable belongings end up damaged or missing, something no one wants to happen.
We encourage you to make an informed decision. To help you out, we’ve put together a list of steps you should take to ensure you secure the right removalist in Newcastle.
How to choose a removalist that is right for you
Do your homework
Check out their website. Does it look legit? How long have they been in business? Are there photos of their staff on the page?
Ask around, and read reviews
There’s no better testimonial than that of friends and family. So, if you know someone who has recently relocated, ask them if their removalist did a good job — or if they didn’t!
Reviews on Google and social media platforms like Facebook are also great for getting unfiltered reviews of the company, and to see what others’ experience has been like.
Check their credentials
Shortlist three or four removalists that offer the services you need, are local to your area, and look professional.
Are they AFRA accredited? The Australian Furniture Removers Association is the gold standard of removalists, with regular auditing to ensure all accredited members are adhering to industry best practice.
What level of insurance do they provide?
It’s important to ensure you are covered in the (hopefully unlikely!) event that something goes wrong.
Get quotes
Pick up the phone and speak directly with your potential removalists. This is not just to determine the most competitive price, but to get a sense of how professional, knowledgeable, and reliable they are.
Did they understand your specific situation and needs? Do they seem trustworthy? Did they explain what was included in the price quoted? Did you end the call feeling confident that they would deliver the service you expect?
Time to decide
You now have the information needed to compare apples with apples. You have quotes, information, testimonials, and a sense of who they are at your disposal. Plus, a little insider information!
