| CHOOSING YOUR REMOVAL COMPANY |
| Comparing quotations from removal companies is difficult because they can vary widely. This information may help you to decide which quotation suits you best. |

What does the quotation include?
What happens if there is a problem with the payment for the house going through? How do I decide if the company will take good care of my furniture and precious items? What does the quotation include? This question is important because most companies do not include packing boxes and materials in their quotes - you have to buy your own. Others will charge extra (waiting time) if they arrive at your new address and have to wait to unload because the outgoing people are still moving out. Others will charge extra for insurance. Some removal companies will split down and re-build furniture, others will expect you to do it before they arrive. Others will not disconnect washers and electric cookers and reconnect at the new address. When comparing quotes, make sure you are comparing like with like. Back to Top What happens if there is a problem with the payment for the house going through? This can happen quite often, and can also result in waiting time being charged because the removal company has to wait to unload until the money has gone through to the sellers. Very occassionally the money does not go through at all, and the removal company cannot unload. The usual solution is for them to take your goods to storage and deliver when the sale is completed. Obviously this will result in extra charges, but how much? Back to Top How do I decide if the company will take good care of my furniture and precious items? Friends and relatives will often be able to refer you to a reliable removal company. If not, ask removal companies for contact details of recent customers who can provide references; and contact them. Back to Top Back to Top |
