We occasionally encounter some myths relating to household relocation.
In what follows below we will try to set right some of the more common examples.
All household movers will pack for you
No they won’t.
Some household movers will only provide transport services, including the loading of your already packed items on to the vehicle.
Others, if you ask them, may simply start ringing around packing companies to get their own quotations for someone to do the job for them. They will then typically add their percentage profit to the packer’s quotation.
At Total Care Removals we will provide a professional packing service as an integrated part of our quotation and service delivery.
Removal companies are fully insured
If only it were that simple!
Space doesn’t really permit a full discussion of the intricacies of professional indemnity and third party liability cover etc.
All we can say here is that you should make sure you understand exactly what insurance cover your household movers have by asking them about how it would protect you in any of a number of different potential problem scenarios.
All storage is pretty much the same
This is, unfortunately, not the case.
It’s still possible to occasionally find some instances where household removal items have been simply ‘chucked’ in the corner of a not particularly weatherproof and suitable warehouse while on-delivery is pending.
If you do need to ask your removers to store your items for you for a period of time, make sure you understand that the facilities they are using are modern, secure and environmentally protected.
The only thing you need to worry about is the price
This is probably one of the commonest and arguably most dangerous misconceptions we encounter.
Sure, inevitably, your eyes will be drawn to the price on a quotation before anything else. That is human nature.
