These few steps may help you making your moving easier. If you use the following advice, you will probably avoid mistakes that would cause unnecessary trouble.
1. Check well the moving company you are planning to book the removal with.
Find some information about the moving company you are planning to hire. Website is a good source of information as it states all contact details and all the details about services provided. You might also wish to read the testimonials of previous customers.
Ask the moving company to provide written confirmation of service you have booked. It may be an email or letter, so that you can familiarise yourself with terms and conditions before the job. 2. Make sure you understand the moving costs.
Check what is included in the quote, if there are any hidden costs and if the service covers everything you need to be done. 3. Ask what equipment there are using..
Removal companies have different strategies and different equipment in their vehicles. It may occur that you need a special rope to lift your sofa or many little items you need to transport in special trolley. Ask the company in advance if they carry in the removal vehicles what you need. It may occur that you have to order a special piece of equipment in advance, because the movers do not use it on regular basis. 4. Book your removal at least 3 weeks prior to moving day.
Moving companies are usually fully booked at least 2 weeks in advance. It is very important when you have to book a parking space with your council. It will also give you time to familiarise yourself with their terms and conditions, check details of moving. 5. Sort out the requirements of your real estate.
You cannot leave it for the last minute. If something happens and you cannot move in on the planned day, you would have to pay the minimum charge for the removal booking. 6. Check if there is nothing that requires special work.
Check if the big items are possible to be taken through the corridor.
You might have scheduled an important meeting straight after the removal. Dismantling sometimes takes long time and if you don’t predict this, you might have to leave some furniture behind or lose an important client.
You should also inform the moving company about fragile items that require special attention or items you are most concern about. 7. Check if all the items will fit inside the van.
Call the removal company you want to book the service with, ask for dimensions and check if the biggest items fit inside. See if it is possible to dismantle them or if you can book a bigger vehicle. |
