Interstate Furniture Removal Tips - 10 of the Best


10 BEST TIPS - INTERSTATE FURNITURE REMOVAL

By Jim Baker – CEO, Magic Movers Removals

Undertaking your interstate furniture removal in Australia is fairly straight forward, though there are ten tips you should consider when undertaking such a move:

1. Hire a professional. They move furniture interstate for a living and are fully cognisant with all the techniques, pitfalls and other issues involved, making your move as smooth as possible.

2. Shop around for different quotes from interstate furniture removal companies. This benefits you by allowing you to budget properly, including initial transportation of your furniture and any other necessary expenses.

3. Get professional help or a packing service to get professionally packed furniture for interstate removals. There are numerous companies across Australia that offers this service. Alternatively, pack your furniture yourself using professional packing tips and the appropriate packing materials.

4. Always get insurance for your interstate furniture removals, either through the moving company you choose or local Australian insurance companies.

5. On moving day, listen carefully to the interstate furniture removers as for safety and health tips for moving heavier items. Better still; allow them to move the bigger things to avoid personal injury.

6. If you are packing the moving truck yourself or container, put the most valuable items at the back, packing all things from bottom to top in order of the heaviest to lightest. Alternatively allow the interstate furniture removals company you hired to load the truck or container to avoid accidents or damage.

7. Consult with your interstate furniture removals company before moving home for advise on all aspects of moving.

8. In the event that accidents or a crisis may occur during the interstate furniture removal of your property between Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and beyond, discuss procedures and your wishes with the company you choose.

9. To save money and for more convenience, pick an interstate furniture removals company that offers multiple services at reasonable rates. These additional services may include temporary storage, insurance and other things.

10. Check the references and reputations of all interstate furniture removals companies in your area of Australia before choosing one to handle our belongings. Price does not always equal quality.

Moving across Australia and undertaking interstate furniture removals does not have to be complicated if you follow these ten tips. Whether moving from Sydney to Brisbane or into the far reaches of the Outback, moving should be as stress free as possible, with few problems as possible.

Although the risks to your belongings are greater the further the move is, hiring a professional and established interstate furniture removals company can take the headaches out any move . . and guarantee your furniture arrives safely, on time and lovingly cared for by people who take your move seriously.

Remember never hesitate to ask your mover for old-fashioned advice – they are the experts!

Moving Companies - Interstate Moving

By Jennifer A Strong

We live today in a fast moving, fast changing world. As such, change has become a part of our lives. Thus, moving to a new location has become a part of modern civilization itself. Sometimes the move is a required part of your job, sometimes it is undertaken for personal reasons.
.
Whatever the reason, moving your whole household can turn out to be a tough task. You can either decide to do it yourself or entrust it to household goods movers. You need to keep in mind quite a few factors in mind before deciding upon a moving company that would suit your needs.

Most household goods movers provide free quotes for their services. You should take advantage of this fact. The 'quote' is calculated keeping certain key factors in mind.

The first of these is dependant on your household itself, or more specifically, its size.

The second is the distance involved in the move – are you moving just across the town or across the country?

Another factor is the amount of time that will be involved in completing the move. Finally, all these calculations would be tied in with your budget.

Household goods movers normally provide a range of services. You can neither opt in for a full service, a self-move, truck rentals, or storage facilities. A full service move involves hiring professionals who take care of every aspect of the move for you. This includes packing facilities, the loading of the goods, transportation, unloading at the new site and then unpacking.

If you have staircases in your home, it would add to the cost of moving. Also, packing facilities can prove to be costly. You might want to consider to do the packing yourself. This brings us to the next type of service that is gaining popularity – a self-move.

The household goods movers whom you employ would take care of the transport facilities of your belongings. However, as mentioned earlier, you have to do the packing and unpacking yourself. We now come to the third kind of move – the 'small move'.

This might involve (but not necessarily) a small distance (say, within a state) and also, the amounts of goods to be transported might not meet the weight criteria of the commercial van lines. Also, this facility allows you the freedom to move only a few goods, for example, antique furniture, bulky household appliances etc. Also, a small move comes with its full complement of moving services.

Many household goods movers provide storage facilities to their clients too. This can be either a long term or a short-term contract. Before you settle upon the services of any one of the several household goods movers, keep a few things in mind. Check the references of the company. Make sure that they are reliable and that they have a history of completing the move on time.

Also, inquire about the insurance facilities that the company would be willing to provide for your belongings.
