PROHIBITED ITEMS:
Dangerous or flammable items such as cleaning products, oils, petrol, paints, varnish, kerosene, weed killers, matches are among items that cannot be accepted for transport by removalists.
INSURANCE:
Make sure the removalists you hire have the appropriate insurance cover.
WEIGHT:
If you have anything really heavy, let the removalist know as extra help may be needed.
RATES:
Some companies round up charges heavily and will charge a half hour or more even if it goes over by five minutes. Be clear with the Melbourne furniture removalists when getting a quote on how much the back to-base fee will be. There are common charges referred to as fuel charges or call out rate, which are justifiable as they help with the cost of salaries and fuel, but be clear as to how much they will be before the job commences.
