All licensed carriers carry basic liability, but coverage is often limited per kilogram, which rarely reflects actual item value. Ask for full-value protection or third-party moving insurance for high-value items like pianos, antiques, or electronics. Photograph valuable pieces before the move and keep a signed inventory list.
Ask whether the survey is in person or by video, who carries the insurance, and what the cancellation policy is. Confirm the deposit amount, accepted payment methods, and the deadline for the final balance. Verify the company registration, DOT-style licence number, and references from recent customers in your area.
Pianos, safes, pool tables, and large aquariums require specialist handling and often extra crew members. Standard movers may refuse these items or charge a surcharge. Ask whether the company subcontracts specialty work and who carries the liability. Confirm that the destination access can physically accommodate the item.
Walk the route from the kerb to the front door before booking. Measure the narrowest stairwell, the lift depth, and the front door frame. If the parking spot is more than 15 metres from the entrance, ask if a long carry surcharge applies. Inform the company about any spiral staircase or low archway that needs furniture to be angled sideways.
Glass cabinets, mirrors, marble tops, and flat screen TVs over 55 inches need custom crating, which is usually quoted separately. Standard movers refuse to transport safes above 80 kg, pool tables, or upright pianos without a piano board and an extra technician. Insist on photo documentation before the move so any later claim is easier to settle.
Prices rise between the 25th and the end of each month because leases expire, and again from late May through early September. A midweek move at the start of the month can be 10 to 20 percent cheaper. School holidays also push demand up, so if you can move on a Wednesday morning you will usually get a smaller team at a lower rate.
Inspect boxes and furniture within 24 hours of delivery, because most policies require a damage claim within 3 to 5 working days. Photograph any issue next to the box label so the serial number is visible. If something is broken, email the inventory copy, the photos, and a short description of the incident to the company before unpacking further.
Hourly rates work well for small, local moves with few items and easy access. Fixed quotes suit larger moves with predictable volume and longer distances. Ask whether fuel, mileage, insurance, and VAT are included in the rate. Clarify the minimum booking time, usually 2 to 4 hours, and the overtime rate per crew member.
Reserve a parking spot for the truck, ideally within 10 to 15 metres of the door. Disassemble flat-pack furniture unless the crew is doing it. Label boxes by room and content type. Clear corridors and stairwells of obstacles. Measure doorways, lifts, and tight corners in advance, and tell the company about any narrow access.
Professional movers use heavy-duty boxes, acid-free tissue, bubble wrap, and wardrobe boxes with hanging rails. If you pack yourself, use double-walled boxes for books and dishes, and avoid overfilling. Ask whether the company supplies materials free, rents them, or expects you to buy them. Unused materials are usually refundable.
