House moving is a demanding and tedious task. It requires a perfect skill set, right temperament and the right removal gear to pull out an effective and successful move. Understandably, it is not a do-it-yourself task and one has to rely on the expertise of professional removalists in Melbourne for the task.

Although professional movers are expected to be upfront with all their fees and moving charges, but certain costs and charges are kept in fine print. They are discussed and raised only in case the need arises. But from a mover’s perspective, it is important that they should be aware of all the moving costs – direct and indirect well before they execute their move.

Here is list of hidden costs of Removalists in Melbourne:

  • Method of Costing: While some removalists company in Melbourne charge as per the distance of the move, others charge as per the weight and the number of items to be moved. Thus, if you are moving heavy items like pool table, furniture pieces or bulky machinery over long distances, check the method of costing the moving company adopts.
  • Loading and Unloading Charges:
Removalists Melbourne may quote a general loading and unloading price without considering the number of floors the belongings are to be picked and moved. In case your building is not equipped with elevators, both at current location and new location, discuss the rates of loading and unloading accordingly.

  • Cost of Packing Supplies: Even if you have hired professional removalists in Melbourne to pack your belongings, be doubly sure whether the cost of packing supplies is included in the quote. Some packers and movers only provide manual assistance to take up the job, while you have to arrange and pay for the packing supplies.
  • Insurance Cost: Though it is not a hidden cost, but it is important to know how much you’ll have to pay extra to avail a comprehensive insurance cover to safeguard your goods. It is also important to understand the features of the insurance cover and know what all is covered. Also know the mover’s liability in case of damage.
  • Cancellation Charges: While a part of the moving cost is paid in advance at the time of booking a removalists company in Melbourne, the balance is paid at the time the move is fully executed. But in case the move is cancelled due to some reasons, movers may forfeit the entire booking cost or charge differently. Check with the moving company, what cancellation policy they adopt.
