No Hidden Costs

Do Removals Companies Have Hidden Costs?

posted in Moving Costs by

Moving your home or office is an endeavour that is nothing short of significant. But, while the associated costs may also be significant, they shouldn’t break the bank. And most importantly, you should know from the start exactly what you’ll be paying for.

At Lynns Removals and Storage, we prioritise full disclosure with our customers. That’s why you’ll never encounter any hidden costs when you hire us for your Australian removal. Our team is honest and upfront. We believe you deserve exceptional service at the right price, and we’ll let you know just what that price is through our comprehensive quote. We’ll also go over our contract with you in detail, so nothing is hidden, and you’ll know what to expect if any additional costs arise.

Beware Those “Other” Removalists

Unfortunately, not every removalist is genuine. It is vital that you vet your potential removals company thoroughly before signing on the dotted line.

When you select a shady removalist, chances are greater that you’ll end up dealing with some of those hidden costs, plus other concerns. Shady removals companies often under-quote you significantly, leading to inflated totals once your move is underway. Or worse, a sham moving company could potentially hold your items “hostage,” refusing to deliver or release them until you pay an exorbitant “fee.” Always check carefully before signing a contract with any removalist, and remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

The Truth About Extra Costs

There are additional costs that might be applicable to your situation, however, even with high-quality, established removalist like Lynns. These generally refer to moving issues that demand greater effort or labour and, thus, a higher cost. For instance, moving companies often charge extra fees to transport extra-large or unwieldy items. Moving to a top floor apartment and bringing your piano? This will incur additional costs due to the special requirements needed. The same is true for items which demand special installation or extra work beyond the typical transport.

The only time unexpected costs should occur is if an unexpected situation transpires or if the removalist did not have accurate information ahead of time. If the removals truck cannot park close to your property, extra fees may be instituted for the additional work this would create. It’s important to have all relevant information in advance to ensure your removals quote is as accurate as possible—and to help your removalist provide you with the best possible service.
