Here are the top 7 no nonsense tips for hiring removalist services in Australia. These tips were garnered after interviewing many folks who had hired removalist services in the past few months. Here we go:

Tip # 1 – Open the contact list on your cell phone and begin calling all your friends and acquaintances. Ask if they hired any removalist services recently. From those that did, find if they liked the services they received and if yes, the name of the removal services they hired.

Tip # 2 - Google for customer feedback or reviews of furniture removalist service providers in Australia. Open Notepad and copy-paste the Url’s from the results to create a list of the top 5 removal service providers in Australia.

Tip # 3 – Now do the reverse i.e. copy past one url at a time into the web browser. Each time you paste the url, hit the Enter Key and you should be able to see the website of each of the removalist service providers.

Check if each removalist is a member of AFRA (Australian Furniture Removers Association), does the website provide adequate information in a transparent manner? If answer to both questions is yes, use a sheet of paper make a note of their name and phone number. That way you could call them whenever you are free or while on the way to work.

Tip # 4 – To be on the safe side, Google for reviews for each of the names of furniture removalist service provider you have on the list. Obviously, scratch out those with poor reviews.

Tip # 5 – For those Removalists Brisbane to Sydney service providers that are still on the list, start calling them mentioning the preferred date, time, and destination along with the items to be moved. If you don’t mind being flexible as to the date of the move, be sure to mention it because flexibility on your part permits removalist service providers to plan trips better and in turn offer hefty discounts. If you like the fee they quote, ask there will be a contract – go only with removalist services that provide a quote and a written contract. Email or whatever but as the saying goes, it has to be "in black-and-white".

Tip # 6 – As you talk to them, you will tend to cancel out some more names and so will be left with a very short list. Re-visit their website to make sure you have not missed anything. Look out for deals or offers for discount if hired on certain days of the week or certain dates of the month. Finally, select one of them as your furniture removalist service provider.

Tip # 7 – Once you have signed the contract, visit an insurance provider and insure your move making sure your insurance covers any kind of damage, theft or loss during transportation or storage. Storage needs to be included because during a accident, vehicle break-down or exceptionally long hauls, the Removalist Melbourne to Sydney might temporarily store your furniture or material at a storage facility. Your insurance must therefore also cover storage period.
