Prices for Hiring a Removalist: Tips from AAA

Moving can be one of the most stressful times in your life, even without any complications or worries about the cost. Most people, however, do have to keep budget in mind when hiring furniture removalists in Perth, meaning it’s wise to keep in mind various factors which may affect the total cost of the move so that you don’t experience any unwelcome surprises on the bill.

Removals in Perth can vary in cost depending upon factors like the size of your home and whether you’re making an interstate move. You will want to get a quote ahead of time, of course, but since there can be expenses depending upon your specific circumstances, we’ve prepared this collection of tips to keep in mind when consulting a Perth removalist.

Factors That Can Affect Your Costs

• Level of service – providing and packing your own boxes allows you to save some money on your move. Some removal companies will also allow you to help load the truck in exchange for lowering your bill.
• How far you’re moving – removals within Perth will cost considerably less than if you’re looking at an interstate move.
• Oversized or awkward items – some removal companies tack on premiums for extremely heavy items or those which are difficult to transport.
• Access issues – are there narrow doors or stairways, sharp turns, or other complicating characteristics of the old or new location?
• Number of stops – extra drop-offs, such as storage spaces, typically add to the bill.
• The timing of your move – premiums are common on weekends or holidays.

As you can see, planning your move isn’t always straightforward. You want to consult closely with your Perth removalist to make sure that the amount you expect to pay ends up being as close as possible to the actual bill. There are a few questions you should ask in order to further clarify the details of how the company charges for removal:

• Is GST included in your quote?
• Are boxes and other packing materials included in the quote?
• What insurance options are available – for example, do they offer premium insurance to cover any breakage or damage that occurs during packing and unpacking?
• Will your removal be charged by the hour, the size of the load, or the mileage involved?
• Are hourly charges prorated to the half or quarter hour?
• Are there added fuel costs?
• Can they handle pet transport, and how much will that add to the quote?
