Recommendations to Make Your Next Move Relaxing

Do you think removals can be relaxing? Most people say no to that question, and in fact, moving is considered to be one of the most stressful events a person can go through. Hi! My name is Carrie, and I hope to change all that. In this blog, I am going to show you how to keep your move organised but also relaxing. A lot of it is just changing your perspective. For example, instead of dreading the act of cleaning a closet, you can see it as a chance to go through your memories. Instead of seeing new places as unfamiliar and daunting, I hope to help you see them as new and exciting. I love moving, and I hope to share some of my affection for it with you. Thanks for reading.

Four Tips for Getting Accurate Moving Quotes

29 March 2017
 Categories: , Blog

If you're planning to move, you may need to get a quote from a removals company, such as Price's Removals. Quotes can vary wildly, and if you want to ensure that your quote is as accurate as possible, there are a few things you may want to keep in mind.

1. Make Detailed Lists of Your Items

Many removals company offer online quotes. You go through an online form, ticking items that you plan to move, and then, the site generates a potential quote for you. To optimise these online tools, go from room to room and make a detailed list of your possessions. If you use the estimation tool and you forget a small piece of furniture in each room, that can really throw off your estimate. Also use a list if you're getting a moving quote over the phone. Don't forget to include the stuff in your garage.

2. Ask the Company to Come to Your Home

To make your quote as accurate as possible, some removals companies are willing to come to your home. They can go through each room, peek in your closets, check out your garage, and get a clear sense of what's needed to move your home. If you take this option, remember to talk with the company's reps about any items in storage. For instance, if you've got a camper parked down the street at your mum's house, you certainly want to make sure that gets included in the quote.

3. Consider a Binding Quote

Some removals companies are willing to offer binding quotes. A binding quote does not change, and it absolutely ensures that you get an accurate estimate. If you want to avoid surprise fees and know what to expect, you may want to consider a binding quote.

4. Be Ready on the Day of the Move

If you have a removals company handling everything including the packing, you simply need to step aside and let them do the work. On the other hand, if you plan to do the packing yourself and just have the removals crew transport the boxes on moving day, you need to be ready when they arrive. If you have a lot of packing left to do, that may delay the removalists and potentially drive the price up past your quote.

Preparing a removals budget depends on an accurate quote. Contact a removals company today to talk more about quotes for your upcoming move.
