QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
I want to book an hourly rate service, but how do I know how long the move will take?
There is no one-size-fits-all formula that can calculate precisely to the minute how long it will take to complete your service. This is because each move is based on a mix of different components and that is what makes it highly individual. Imagine you are cooking – with the same ingredients you can prepare so many different unique dishes. It is the same with our job too.
Some elements/factors can have a significant impact on the duration of work, such as:
-#1# The volume of furniture and belongings to be moved. The correlation between the volume of items to be moved and the duration of the service is directly proportional. The larger the volume of things you take with you, the longer it will take to move.
HINT: Try to declutter and leave as much as you can behind. If you are moving on a long distance, in some cases it might be worth to sell the old furniture and with that money and the money you save from the transportation, you can buy new one.
-#2# – How will your furniture and belongings be packed?
When it comes time to pack, we humans get pretty resourceful. We put into use all kinds of bags, boxes of all sizes, plastic containers and crates, etc. In reality, the use of multiple boxes of different sizes and irregularly shaped bags can greatly complicate their safe stacking and organasing the van space, which would again increase the duration of the move. Sometimes having a large number of irregular shaped furniture and bags/boxes would not allow us to use the full capacity of the van and a second load may be needed and that of course would increase the total duration of the service.
HINT: Check if any of your friends moved recently. Perhaps, they will have some spare boxes to share with you. Also, check and ask in the local groups or online platforms for used boxes and packing materials. You will be surprised what can be found there.
-#3#-Features and specifications of the property you are moving from and to.
It is extremely important, when you want a quote for moving, to give the consultant as much detailed information as you can. Whether you are moving from a house or flat , it is significant for us to know how many floors is the house or if it is a flat then what floor is it on, is there a lift and how big is it. What is the distance from the flat door to the lift and from the lift to the designated parking space. If there are stairs and corridors, are they wide enough for all the furniture to pass through there? If you have not provided complete information, then you risk misleading your consultant and receiving an offer that will not fully meet your needs, which will complicate the implementation and may significantly extend the duration of the service. For example, there is no parking available right outside the property and the nearest parking space is a 100m down the road. Having such a long distance would always require a team of 3 movers , but if we are not alerted about that and we send you only team of 2 men instead, this would add a few hours extra to your bill.
HINT: It is always helpful to take a short video showing the walking path from the entrance of the property to the designated parking space. It is also worth to speak to the property management and check if they would have any instructions and guidelines about the parking, lifts, etc.
-#4#- Assembling and disassembling furniture.
There are furniture of all styles and ages. Depending on the design of the furniture it can be quite simple or high complicated job to dismantle or reassemble it. For example, an ordinary wardrobe would require 30 minutes to 1 hours for dismantling and reassembling, but if it’s a wardrobe with sliding doors, then it can take 3 hours or even longer. The good news is our movers and packers are skilled, experiences and always prepared to assist you with that job.
HINT: When speaking with your removal consultant make sure you point all the furniture that would require help with dismantling and reassembling.
-#5# – Moving to storage.
It is commonly mistaken that because moving to storage doesn’t require reassembling of furniture, the service will be quick and simple. The truth is some storage facilities are huge and there are long corridors, waiting for the lift and most importantly – “the puzzle”. In comparison with a moving to a house or to a flat, where would be a plenty of space for unloading boxes, furniture, appliances etc., when moving to storage, we are limited to the size of the storage unit. That means we have to unload everything and reorganise it into the storage cell, making sure everything is at the right place and nothing is left outside. Also, moving to storage may require extra packing and protection.
HINT: If possible, go to the storage at least a day prior the moving and make sure you have signed the contract and have access codes. Any additional information regarding the location of the storage cell (like corridors, floors, size etc.) please share it with us. If you are not sure what size of storage you need, ask your removal consultant.
Don’t forget to label the boxes and items, that you want to have an easy access to and let the team know it.
Don’t forget that your removal consultant is your friend and is always ready to help you and answer all your questions.
