Five Things to Consider When You Compare Furniture Removalists Quotes

by Jenna Sep 02, 2024

When you're looking to move, one of the first things you'll look into is to compare furniture removalists quotes. In general, a long distance move can cost anywhere from $1000 to $20,000 depending on where you're moving to and how much furniture you're bringing with you.

 

Your best bet is to compare furniture removalists quotes and your best rate starts with Best Rated Transport. 

When to Compare Furniture Removal Quotes

The earlier the better! We suggest that if you are preparing for a big move, you should get in contact with a furniture removalist at least 6 weeks before your move. This can ensure you don't feel like you're rushed and you can get your removalists locked, loaded and ready for the big day. 

What is Included in the Furniture Removalists Quotes? 

This is an important thing to consider when comparing furniture removalists quotes. There are so many different companies that offer removals and not every company will provide the same services as part of their quotes. One of the big things to check for is insurance. Another thing to double check is if the fuel price is included as well as if the quote includes moving equipment, such as blankets to protect your furniture. Finally, ask how many removalists will be assisting with the job. 

At Best Rated Transport, every furniture removalist quote we provide comes with insurance, up to three trained movers and all protective coverings. Plus our rate includes all costs including fuel so you don't have anything else to cover other than boxes, tape and bubble wrap. 

How Big of a Truck Will You Need?

This comes down to how much you're moving. Many people are not 100% sure how big of a truck they will need and that's perfectly fine. At Best Rated Transport we can work this out for you and ensure you are only paying for the space you use. 

Our transport comparison platform includes container transport, which might be a more affordable option as well as less-than-full load trucks which means you are not paying for an entire truck - only what you need. When you compare removalist quotes, be sure to consider all types of transport options, including self-pack removalists. 

Is the Moving Company Trustworthy? 

The last thing you want to worry about is letting someone into your home who you cannot trust or discovering that your items have been damaged along the way. Because there are so many furniture removalists out there, it can be difficult to know which ones are accredited, insured, certified and experienced. 

This is one of the things Best Rated Transport can assist you with. Not only can you compare removalist quotes for free, but you can also compare removalist companies. With Best Rated Transport, all of the furniture removalists in our network have passed our 7-point comparison which includes accreditation and insurance checks. 

If you are concerned about the company you've selected, check out Google Reviews to see what others have said about the removalist companies. 

Are There Any Special Terms and Conditions?

Always read the fine print when you compare furniture removalists quotes. Many companies will charge a fortune if you go over your estimated load amount which is really easy to do, especially if you haven't moved in a while. 

Your best bet to prevent this is to be very detailed when looking at furniture removalists quotes. Create an inventory of each room - this is great for packing and unpacking too - and also a good way to decide if some larger items can be donated or binned instead of coming with you. 

If you are unsure of just how much stuff you have, that's perfectly okay too! The team at Best Rated Transport are more than happy to help you create an inventory and assess how much furniture you need transported. We know how overwhelming it can be trying to decipher your exact cubic meterage which is why our team are available to help you with this.
