Start with the size and distance of your move. A small local move, a full household relocation, an office move, and a long-distance or interisland move all need different planning, so look for a mover experienced in your type of job.
Ask how they price, by the hour, by volume, or a fixed quote, and what is included. Packing, materials, insurance or transit protection, and any charges for stairs, pianos or long carries should be clear up front.
Check they carry goods-in-transit or contents cover, and read recent reviews for how carefully they handle furniture. Confirm whether they offer packing services and short or long-term storage if you need it.
Local moves are often charged by the hour, commonly around $120 to $180 for a two-person truck, while larger or long-distance moves are usually a fixed quote based on volume. Get an in-home or video assessment for an accurate price.
Reputable removal companies carry goods-in-transit or transit protection, but cover and excesses vary. Ask exactly what is covered, and check whether your own contents insurance extends to moving day.
Many offer full or partial packing services and can supply boxes and materials. Packing yourself is cheaper, but professional packing is faster and often better protected for fragile items.
Two to four weeks ahead is sensible, and more around month-end, public holidays and over summer when removalists are busiest. Booking early gives you the best choice of dates.
Many can, but specialist or very heavy items often cost extra and may need particular equipment. Mention them when you get your quote so the crew comes prepared.
Several removal companies offer short and long-term storage, useful if your moving dates do not line up. Ask about secure, insured storage options when booking.
