As the world turns, people will continue to move and relocate from place to place. For a wide variety of reasons, individuals decide a change of address is needed, and this means the contents of homes, offices, businesses, and other establishments need to be moved. Because of this, the services of professional removalists will always be in demand, and this means there are plenty of moving companies in existence.

The question is: how do you tell the good removalists from the bad?

With many options to choose from, what information can point you in the right direction for such an important decision? Today, we at Lynns want to lay out for you a few points that can help you to be certain you’re choosing the very best removalist for your needs.

Consider how long they’ve been in business.

It’s no surprise that long-established businesses often tend to be the better option. Of course, brand new enterprises can be highly successful and trustworthy, but the confidence you can place in a stable, well-reputed business can’t be denied. For the most part, it’s wise to select a removalist with many years of service over a fly-by-night operation.

Examine their approach with regards to pricing.

Although tempting, a removalist that advertises “the cheapest prices in town” or a similar approach may not always prove to be the ideal choice. While you as a consumer want to find a good deal and an affordable service, watch out for removalists that seem to overpromise. (This frequently means they will under deliver). A better quality to look for is a company that works to customise and personalise their services and aims to work with your unique needs.

Read reviews and ask the locals.

The reputation of a removalist can be telling. With the Internet at your fingertips, you can easily do some simple research and read what past customers are saying. Bear in mind that consumers tend to take the time to post a review only when a situation has been especially great or particularly bad. Proceed with caution if a removalist has received dozens of poor reviews. And ask around the community in person. Happy customers love to refer friends to their favourite businesses.

Find out if they offer more than the bare minimum.

At a bare minimum, a potential removalist needs to be licensed and insured. But ideally, you deserve to partner with a business that goes beyond these basic expectations. At Lynns Removals and Storage, we are licensed and insured with certified and highly-trained staff members. But we’re also accredited by the Australian Furniture Removers Association. Our relationship with this organisation demonstrates our commitment to excellence in everything we do as a removals company, and it lends extra weight to our already positive reputation.

Ask about special moving circumstances and situations.

Do you have an unusual situation with regards to moving home or office? Or perhaps you are moving internationally and are concerned with the logistics of such a major undertaking. Ask a potential removalist how they handle similar situations and what they’ve dealt with in the past. You ideally want to choose a provider who handles your type of situation. At Lynns, we handle removals of all sizes and scopes, including complex interstate and international relocations. Knowing our extensive experience in these circumstances can help set your mind at ease and give you the assurance that you’ve chosen an exceptional removalist.

Trust your first impressions.

Perhaps most importantly, it’s always wise to trust your own initial impressions of a company. From the beginning, you should observe quality, recognise a dedication to excellence, and feel welcomed and valued as a customer. If you don’t, keep looking.
