Most removalist will stack boxes onto their trolley. So try to find boxes which are sturdy and fit neatly onto their trolley. Having odd-shaped or over-sized boxes will only waste their time and your money! Also do NOT use bags. They are annoying for the removalists and time inefficient. I basically moved odd-shaped things, fragile items and bags by myself which was only 2 cars worth (including passengers). Then the removalists quickly did the rest!

Here is a list of AFRA membersin the Sydney area http://www.sydneyremovalist.com.au One thing that got me was this: "depot to depot" charge. How can you challenge a depot to depot charge? How is it verified? They ALWAYS give the "its bad traffic" excuse. Does anywhere not do depot to depot? Most businesses don't charge depot to depot anymore why should removalists? At least it should be a fixed price like call-out fees. |
