HOT TOPIC: Cheap vs expensive?

Many factors must be addressed while relocating, not the least of which is your money.

You could be tempted to go with the cheapest estimate, but this could end up being the costliest option in the long run.

The difference between the cheap vs expensive Removalist?

The furniture removals sector is not regulated, and many people buy any old truck to make a quick buck, even if they have no experience or equipment.

Moving house may appear simple to the pros. It is a difficult task that requires expertise, experience, and the proper tools.

Consider the following scenario:

If the settlement on your new home falls through on the day of the transfer, the move must be cancelled and rescheduled for a few days later.

A cancellation fee for appointments cancelled within 24 hours of the planned time in the booking agreement.

If the relocation must be postponed, a good removalist will accept a deposit and explain that the deposit is transferrable to a later date.

Always good to notify your removalist right away if your circumstances change.

Good Removals, such as A&R Removals & General Freight offer a depot with onsite storage for customers, which may be extremely useful in situations like these.

Cheap Removalist:

  • Take so long to load up that you end up in trouble with the leasing agent.
  • You are paying by the hour, and the transfer takes twice as long.
  • When you arrive at your new address, the moving van parked on your freshly laid driveway.
  • The driveway splits beneath the weight of the loaded truck.
  • You continuously ask the driver for the paperwork so that you may file a claim for the damage.
  • They do not have insurance to protect you.
  • You discover that they have tracked fresh onto your new carpet and scraped furniture up the hallway wall while moving your stuff.
  • You spend the next week looking for boxes that have wound up in every room except where you need them.
  • You realize that some of your most expensive items have not arrived at their destination.
  • The person who answered the phone at the removalists number had never heard of them before.


The cost of the move has now risen to three times what you were told by the " most costly removalist".

Instead, you should choose a company with many years of expertise and membership in a government-recognized industry organization ( AFRA ).

You performed your research, looked into their background, and took up insurance when it was given.

To minimize space and time, you packed in standard moving cartons.

However, thanks to skilled professional Removalist, right equipment wrapping every piece of furniture in padding to prevent any damage.

Cheap vs expensive? the cheapest doesn't always turn out to be the cheapest in the end.
