6 things to consider when choosing a removalist
According to the NSW Government Fair Trading website:
When you engage a business to provide a service, you have the right to expect ‘acceptable quality’. Services must be:
Provided with due care or skill (taking all necessary steps to avoid loss and damage)
Fit for any specified purpose (express or implied)
Provided in a reasonable time (when no time is set).
Take the stress out of choosing the right removalist company with our five-point checklist!
Professional Accreditation
If a removalist company is accredited, you know that its services are high-quality, that its staff has relevant experience, and that you can trust them with your belongings.
In Australia, the relevant accreditation is AFRA (the Australian Furniture Removers Association).
Recommendations and Reviews
Before you decide on a removalist company, it’s a good idea to do some research. Look up potential companies and read testimonials from their customers.
Another good idea is to ask your friends and family if they have any recommendations. Word of mouth can be incredibly useful and can save you time.
Insurance policies
Even the most professional and highly-regarded removalist companies can have accidents or things happen that are out of our control. That is why it’s important to choose a company that has comprehensive insurance policies. You can read more about our different insurance policies here: https://twomen.ewebstaging.com/insurance/

Performing estimates
A professional removalist will always go over your move with you before the big day. They will assess how much you have to move.
A good estimator should be able to estimate the volume of your belongings and identify any potential complications, such as stairs, narrow hallways, oversized furniture, etc.
In summary
Choosing the right removalist to help support you during your house move doesn’t have to be complicated. Just follow our six-point checklist, and you won’t go far wrong!
