WHAT SIZE REMOVAL TRUCK SHOULD I BOOK?

Image
One of the most common questions our booking team is asked is: What size truck should I book? Generally, if you’re moving a smaller place, such as a studio or one bedroom apartment, we recommend booking our 3 tonne truck. For larger moves, such as houses of two or more bedrooms, we recommend booking our 8 or 12 tonne truck. You can find full details of our removal trucks’ dimensions and other helpful booking hints here. Still unsure? We always say when in doubt it’s best to book the larger truck. Keep in mind that here at Move On Removals we only charge you for the  time  we’re out on your job. It’s often works out far cheaper for you to book the larger truck and only do one trip battling Melbourne’s traffic than risk having to do two trips. As for single item moves – simple, right? In most cases, because it’s only a single piece of furniture our 3 tonne truck has ample space. However, we have witnessed instances where customers have moved very bulky or tall ...

4 WAYS THAT MOVING OFFICE CAN HELP YOUR BUSINESS THRIVE

Have you been feeling like your company has outgrown its current space? Are you tired of commuting to an inconvenient location that’s nowhere near your customers? Maybe you would like to be in Melbourne CBD or a specific suburb like Port Melbourne or Hawthorn? There are a number of reasons it might be time to relocate. Figuring out what your company will achieve by moving and how the move will support your business objectives can help you make a strategic decision. 1. Perception :The location of your office can affect the way your business is perceived. If your office is in an unappealing neighborhood or not visible to traffic, that will lead people to have a low opinion of your business. On the other hand, if you are in a nice location and easily visible from the street, then your location works to promote your business and attract customers. 2. Proximity to clients : If your office is hard to find or in an inconvenient location, it makes it hard for your clients to find you...

So, your parents have decided to sell their 5 bedroom family home in Kew and head off for a sea change. This isn’t a particularly convenient turn of events for you, as you have been using your old  childhood bedroom  and your parents’ shed as a free storage unit for the past 20 years. Unfortunately, your perfect Toorak apartment isn’t big enough to hold anything more than what you, your partner and your dog already own. Before you call your  Toorak removals company  and before your parents hire their  Kew removals company , you’re going to want to sort out a storage unit and prepare both the unit and your goods for storage. It’s important to make sure that you choose a storage company that will keep your goods safe and that will be able to conveniently coordinate with your  Toorak removalists . You also need to ensure that either you or your  Toorak removalists  are packing and preparing your items in a way that will keep them in good conditio...

Buying your new house in Brighton isn’t the only cost you need to plan and save for. There are a million other little things you have to remember to work in to your moving budget. A common mistake people make is to plan for the cost of their new home and then get blindsided when little things like the cost of building inspections, internet connection and  eastern suburbs removals  team start adding up. You can think about these costs as being in three phases: buying your home, moving into your home and setting up your new home. The first area you should think about, and probably have already considered, is the costs associated with buying your new home. There is the  cost of the property itself , which will obviously be the biggest lump sum. However, there are also the additional fees for stamp duties, legal services, building inspections, loan applications and lenders mortgage insurance. This is all very confusing, but they are probably the costs you are most prepare...
