Below are a few questions you might like to ask before enlisting the services of a removalist in Melbourne:

Do I need a removalist?
Never undertestimate the amount of physical and mental organisation it takes the move the contests of your home or office into a new one. Packing boxes is one thing, but lugging them in and out of vans up and down stairs is another. Furniture removal can be extremely exhausting, especially if you are on a tight deadline to vacate the property.

Take into account the price, the service you will receive and when the companies are able to conduct the move. Do they provide storage boxes? Little extras like this count.

Get a recommendation

If you can't get a recommendation, then trust your instincts and go with the company that has demonstrated professionalism, helpfulness and friendliness in your contact with them.
