Hello! My name is Mikey and this is my moving and storage blog. I was inspired to start this blog following a move I made from Perth to Melbourne. I had lived in Perth for the past 7 years so I had acquired a lot of stuff. I was dreading the move because I didn't know how I would transport all of my stuff to my new home. Thankfully, a chum of mine recommended a fantastic moving and storage company. The moving contractors helped me to organise and move my things. I really couldn't have done it without them so I decided to start a new blog detailing my experience.

Why You Need a Detailed Consultation Before Hiring a Furniture Removalist
Miguel Mitchell
Moving through the moving process can be tiring and stressful. You have to consider everything from finding a new home to having the utilities turned on and set up. One of the steps you will take is finding a furniture removalist for the interstate move. In many cases, people will hire a removalist based on an online site and a quick quote. Though this can work well for most people, if you have a lot of furniture, you may want to consider another method. Here are some reasons you need a detailed consultation before hiring a furniture removalist or interstate removalist.
Onsite Furniture Inspection
You can tell a removalist that you need to have three beds moved. Keep in mind that most online consultations will simply ask you what size your bed is. They also tend to use the idea that your bed is of a typical shape. The truth is that you may have a unique style to your bed or a custom bed option. This can end up costing more or being difficult for your furniture removalist to handle. With an onsite detailed consultation, the removalist can see the furniture, inspect it, and know how they need to move forward.
Dismantling Issues
You may have furniture that can be dismantled for safe moving. The problem is that you may not want it to be dismantled or there may be an issue with the furniture that could damage it if it is dismantled. For example, you may have a table that has loose screws on the legs. The furniture holds together well, but dismantling it could decrease the durability of the piece. This is something you can discuss directly with the furniture removalists and show them when you have a detailed onsite consultation before the move.
Room Versus Furniture
When you start a quote for your move, you will likely see quotes online related to a standard room size. There is an assumption the room holds a standard amount of furniture and sizes. The problem with this quote is that it doesn't take into account the storage room, guest rooms, offices that may have other furniture, and extra furniture not listed on the site quote. An onsite consultation will allow the removalists to see exactly how much furniture they are dealing with and give you a more accurate quote based on the furniture and not just the room.
When you are closing in on the date of your move, contact your local furniture removal company. Find out which ones will offer an in-person detailed consultation. Schedule an appointment for your consultation and remember to ask any questions at the time of the consultation. This will help you find the right furniture removalists for your move.
