Removalists Sydney | Avoid Falling Victim to Dubious Sydney Removalists

Sydney Removalists can make your relocation either heaven or hell. That’s because while there are so many professional furniture removals company in this Australian city, there are still some who take advantage of clients. To make sure you choose the right company, and avoid dubious ones, take note of these simple reminders.

Clarify the total cost of the move. Honest removalists Sydney can give you the total, final amount even before the relocation happens. They can do this by estimating how much time, manpower, and machinery they’ll need for the shifting. Then, possible damages will be deducted. However, dubious Sydney removalists will always exist. Watch out for hidden charges like additional fees for heavier furniture, increase in the number of personnel involved, etc. The best way to avoid this scenario is still to clarify everything before you even deal with the company.

Be cautious of down payments and other upfront fees. Apart from hidden charges, you should also be wary of removalists Sydney that are seeking huge amounts prior to the moving of your belongings. While there is nothing wrong with asking for an earnest deposit, asking for the paying the full amount before your stuff is delivered to your new home or office is a huge no-no. You should never pay upfront for the whole service.


Always have your own check list. This means that if possible, you should also have your own inventory of boxes and their contents before these are loaded into the vehicle. It’s better if you stay side by side the furniture removals team leader when he’s conducting the initial inventory of your belongings. Use this inventory as a check list when your furniture is unloaded into your new home. This will prevent possible cases of theft or missing furniture. Make some notes too, which furniture are already damaged before the move. This is for you to be able to detect whether a piece of furniture was damaged, and should therefore be paid, during the transport.


Be alert for per hour charging. It’s true that you can save money if you only pay for the time the movers used in relocating your belongings. The problem is, dubious removalists Sydney can use this arrangement to prolong the relocation and their working hours – leading to a bigger pay check at the end of the day. Avoid this option if you can. It’s much better to pay for the whole project or on a daily basis instead.
