Once you have contracted the services of a removalist, you should let them do their work. Even though you have the right to be around when they are doing their work, your input should be minimal and must not interrupt their work. Take note of behaviour that you should avoid when you have hired removalists to move your furniture.
Handling delicate items
Are you worried that the removalist might break your glass tables and stool? It is common to worry when strangers are handling your delicate items, and you can be tempted to do it yourself. However, you should not do this because of several reasons. One is that the people handling your items are experts and have the experience needed to carry and transport your items safely. As such, the chances that any delicate items will break are minimal. The second reason is that the movers are usually liable for any breakages that arise in the course of their work. If the glass items break when being carried by the movers, they will compensate you for the loss. In case it breaks while you are attempting to move it, the movers will not be liable for the damage.
Trying to supervise and control their work
Some people assume that they know the best approach to move furniture even if they lack the professional experience. Such people can easily frustrate the workers of the moving company since they will try to control how items should be carried, which rooms should be cleared first and how the furniture will be loaded to the trucks. You should avoid such behaviour and understand that the workers are professionals who know what they are expected to do. Such behaviour can lead to the termination of the contract to avoid conflicts that may arise because of your actions.
Getting them to work faster
Do you feel like the movers are not working fast enough? This is a common feeling among clients considering the steps taken by movers in their work. These include making a list of items around the house, wrapping and then loading the furniture. If you decide to stay around during the process, it can appear that they are taking a lot of time and things can be a done a little bit faster. However, you should never rush the movers. Once you have signed the moving contract, you need to be patient when they finally arrive at your house and let them work at their own pace. Working faster can also lead to minor accidents that can damage your furniture.
If you are planning to move house, you will no doubt want to make sure things go as smoothly as possible. My name is Sarah and I would like to give you some advice which will help you during your house move. Last year, I moved from Sydney to Melbourne so I could start a new life with my boyfriend. I was getting quite stressed about how I would move my stuff across the country when my friend suggested a great moving and storage company. The staff were super helpful and I learnt a lot of neat stuff. I hope you enjoy my blog.
