Keep these factors in mind when you weigh your options:

• Cost. Movers are expensive, so do your best to stay within your budget.
• Services. Do the removalists offer all the add-on services you need? (e.g. pet transportation, vehicle transportation, packing help).
• Reputation. Read reviews left by previous customers to make sure the removalists can be trusted. Ideally, they should be registered with the Australian Furniture Removers Association (AFRA).
• Insurance. Is the removalist insured to cover any potential damage to your valuables?

Frequently asked questions

How long will it take for the removalists to move my home?

It's possible to make the journey between cities in one day, but you need to factor in pick up and drop off times. The removalist will be able to provide an estimate when you do the booking.

How far in advance should I book the removalists?

As much as possible in order to secure the times and dates you want. Many removal services get booked-up quickly, so get in touch with them in a timely manner.

Do I need to ensure parking?

Yes, make sure the removalists will have a place to park close to your home for easy access. This reduces travel time from your front door to the truck, boosting efficiency. If you live on a busy street, consider using your rubbish bins or park your cars in the area the night before. Double-check if you need a parking permit for the area.
